i dont think i saw one shot with good structure in the whole thing. it seems like their insistance on “straight blasting” (i prefer calling it chain punching) prevented them from doing any WC. but mabye i’m being too harsh 😃 at least they spar - although i’m pretty sure it wasn’t full power. ---

Looks good! Most of these students seem to be from 1 to 3 years experience - definitely too much chainpunching, headhunting and one-dimensional footwork, but as a sparring format seems very good - I especially like how the support beam was used as a valid part of the environment. ---

Good video, always nice to see Wing Chun people applying their art. Not much Wing Chun there though, was there? No bong sau, no tan sau. Just chain punching back and forth. Hmmm. Quite a few of those bouts ended up on the floor too, didn’t they? I guess no one likes to be hit. Much easier to close and clinch. If you have a look at the Escrima clip and then the Wing Tsun clip, you’ll see the sifu seems to have merged the two arts. Is this common in WT kwoons? That kind of sparring will definatley make them better fighters though i think, good stuff. ---

Good for them. Takes guts. Anyone who disses should please post a clip of themselves doing better. BTW- The term head hunting makes me laugh. So does Bas’ “Jezuzgriiist, Liver shot!” ---

Yes it is quite common to teach escrima and WT at the same school. ---

Looks like a slapfest. They’ll learn. They’re stepping up to spar so they’ll get it right soon. 1-3 years experience. You’re kidding, right? I would have thought 1 year at the most. ---

Most people can’t even kick above their waist after 1 year, especially if they have no athletic background. I thought most of them were between 1.5 and 2 years exp. True that one solid shot would be worth more than 3 of those “chainpunches,” I blame the teacher for that. But consider that this looked to be alot better than just Chi-sao, push hands, or point-sparring. ---

Just an observation regarding the average martial arts class. Of course some people will progress alot more quickly. But there are reasons to kick above your waist in class: Stretching, big target, conforms with some sporting rules or friendly testing of skills, or so that your partner can practice against such kicks. ---

> Most people can’t even kick above their waist after 1 year, especially if they have no athletic background. I have NO athletic background except for early teens, am 36 now, and have been training under a year, I am not in great shape YET, and I can kick well above my waist. I must be a freak of nature LOL. ---
