Hi All, this is my student Rick 2 years ago when he was 16 training on the first four sections of the dummy. He was just learning so there will be some mistakes. I’ll leave these up for a couple of days then take them down.

Enjoy,

Here’s my favorite, in spite of the jumpy camera work, etc.
…and yes, I know there are parts missing. There was a time limit imposed at the event.
Thanks that was nice. I’m saving that one.

Thanks Phil. FYI, that’s my Sigung doing the form, so I’m more than a little bit biased in his favor. 
BTW, I save all of your clips too. Thanks for passing them along.
You’re very welcome. Here’s a clip of William Cheung. I kept bugging him to do a few moves on my dummy. The look in his face was like OK, are you satisfied?

That’s how I’d interpret it.
Cool clip.
Nice clips guys.

Thanks for sharing Kenton. I’m adding that to my dummy clips collection.

This thread contained the link to the wooden dummy clip that was the most controversial on this forum (that I can remember). -Worth a look, maybe… -L

I just realized that the video link on that old thread is dead, so I’ve e-mailed Phil Redmond to see if he might be able to have it temporarily hosted…

That guy has some fast hands. Not sure how effective some of those strikes would be but he’s definitely got skills.
Yeah I remember that clip and the thread discussing it all. Some complained that the Nobert had no skills, bla bla bla. My take on it all is that the guy has skills, and that when you practice pre arranged forms you should do so at times slow and deliberate to practice absolute correct structure and things like that, but other times at close to full speed or full speed to see what happens and to get as close to real time in application. Yeah some of the movements may have to be adjusted for speed but if you can pull it off with good structure and timing it means you have skills in WC for sure. Good clip.

I agree that timing is key. Most movements in the Dummy form have two arms moving at once(coming out at the same time…one moving forward while another moves backwards)…so when you speed up the form, structure and timing shouldn’t break down.
Peace.
It’s funny cause in those clips, his arm breaks are side onwards then the original from the bottom up arm breaks.
I’m not sure what you mean in that sentence. Are you saying that there is an original arm break and that the one you see in the clips is not original? If that’s the case, what is the original? There are many different lineages of WC. They have different approaches. It’s nearly impossible to say what the “original” WC is. Have you been following “The Original Wing Chun” thread?
Anyway, the arm break for a vertical punch is different from the arm break for a horizontal punch. The arm breaks you see in the clip are for a horizontal punch. You can’t utilize a “bottom up” arm break against a horizontal punch.

Thanks, Phil.
