The new wing chun !
[QUOTE=mun hung;1163206]When I started this thread, I really meant for it to be serious. But like many other topics on this board this has somehow gone astray.
Let’s start again. Knowing what you know now, if you were to create a “new art” (we don’t need to give it a name) what principals and theories would you include in it, how would you teach it, would there be forms, weapons, what kind of horse, and most importantly - for what reason? Everything must be logical.
No firearms, grenades or anything stupid please. And no more JKD talk (we know that doesn’t work LOL).
Let’s begin with concepts and ideas for this art before we even talk about the actual training of it.
I’ll start.
Efficiency - the art must be efficient so that one can accomplish the most with the least amount of effort. And for many reasons. Fast results and conservation of energy would be top factors. And because it must be efficient, I think that some of the movements need to be direct such as perhaps a linear punch with force driven by the elbow but backed up by the structural strength of the shoulder. I feel that there are advantages of having the fist in the vertical position when it is thrown. I feel that holding the fist in a vertical position feels quite natural and allows the elbow to drop and point downwards offering the ribcage some protection as the punch is thrown as well as it’s return.
Anyone want to add to this one? If not, we can start on other theories.[/QUOTE]
Since WC is a chinese martial art , I would keep the punches and the uppercuts , and the backfists strikes , and I ’ ll look into other sytems of kung fu like choy li fut , and take what WC don ’ t have that punch which is similar to a hooking type of punch , and figure out how to make it simple to apply , the reverse punch . And before I go into boxing type of punches I would see if theres’ any punch in the other system of kung fu have punches that are similar to boxing . WC allready has those simultaneous defense and attacks , I would take all the chin na moves and grappling moves from diiferent system of kung fu like northern and southern systems of kung fu and put it all together .
And since WC as well as other system of kung fu regardless of southern and northern all contains set . I would discect the sets from the forms and the applications . And take what I need . Okay , this is just me now , since high kicks can be defended against in a self defense or a fight situation I would keep the low kicks , and the medium high kicks . I would also keep the finger jab strikes , palm strikes , and the striking techniques which the 3 forms contains , in other words I would take the techniques from the different systems of kung fu , to make my own WC more practical and efficient and simple . And still keep the thoeries of WC and the concepts too . the elbow from the 3 - forms of WC , and modify the ranges of attack which is grappling , kicking , striking . Since everybody has their own individual ideas of their own WC in general , this is the way my own WC would be .
