Some new clips
Sat. class Aug. 7.2010
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kD2AdUEm3E
Some of the ideas in this clip are similar to how we use fook in HFY as well (elbow-in position and distance from body, proper fook shape not flat with the floor, fwd energy).
Cool clip, thanks for sharing!

So PLEASE feel free to stop by to “exchange” spar, chi sao, or whatever. I’ll never get better without training with better people. /QUOTE]
Sorry for any previous things I’ve said.
I respect this sentiment highly.
I hope I can come to NYC sometime.

I can’t for the life of me work out why you’d choose to use the wrong hand at the start, and why you continue to attempt to hold with the fuk sao. It appears that you use too much wrist at that point, for it is not the wrist which prevents the pak sao from being successful, but the solidness of the elbow position. As far as we are taught, the wrist should be loose but pointed towards the man, so that if there is no impediment to its passage, it punches the man, and just touching the man’s arm to allow for greater surface area contact not to hold that mans arm in contact, but to be able to sense the movement and be able to react.

The character wing in wing chun has a radical (a combination of characters). Weng doesn’t have that combination. One side of Wing means to speak. The other half of the character means forever. There are many characters in Chinese that are combined. Fuhk/fook means to control or subdue. Have you ever heard of the Hung Ga form called Gung Ji Fook Fu Kuen? Well, it means Gung character taming (subduing) the Tiger Fist. The character fuhk depicts a man “controlling” a dog. Fuhk is patterned after a canine’s paw. Google begging dogs pictures and you see that dogs/foxes/ wolves have their paws pointing downwards like I showed in the picture not to the left or right. Yes, I use the wrist. How else can I “control”. Now I know where you’re coming from because for 13 years I probably did the fuhk like you think it should be done. But enough with stories about dog’s paws. I GUARANTEE that if you try the fuhk like I demonstrated in the chi sao clip you will see the difference. Or better yet. I’m at 64 E. 4th St. 4th Floor ever Sat. from 3:30 - 5:30 pm. I’ll allow you to try the pak from the position I used in the clip on me. We can video your attempt and post it on youtube. (please excuse typos. I’m still getting used the the touch keypad on my iphone)

Nice videos Phil. I can tell you what at the grapplers will say about the shoot defense. Do it against a good wrestling double legs and shoots rather than a tackle. The the same principles apply, but you have to be a bit more proficient to stop a good wrestling shoot because they can get to your legs more easily.

Thanks, I need to find a guy that’s good at the shot to really test what I’m doing. There are at least 4 grapplers at Keith Mazza’s school that I know of. I need to work with them and other good grapplers.

Hi Phil,
I am a pretty good SHOT and I am sure some of my red-neck neighbors are pretty good shots too. Let us know and we can come up and work with you.
Although, you do know that Boxers had some difficulty dealing with the SHOT too…right. ![]()
Oh wait a minute my bad; I forgot you were a Marine :o I’ll bet you meant shoot I am afriad I can’t help you with that one, never did get into rolling around on the ground with sweaty guys. Now if you have some femailes to roll with I am game for that ![]()

I know you’ve heard the expression that children shouldn’t talk when grownups are talking.
Well, soldiers shouldn’t correct Marines when they know what they’re talking about.
I’ve been talking to the wrestlers and grapplers at the Mt. Laurel school. I learned the term “shot” from them. Also all Marines are rifleman. Every Marine has to qualify with a rifle each year. Does the Army do that ? ![]()
Notice that none of the real grapplers said anything. It had to be some non-grappling Wing Chun guy . . You’re still my bro though. ![]()
Here are some links to “shot” training.
