- Hi, this is Dan Lok.
-
And today, I'm gonna show you three
-
most dangerous techniques in Wing Chun.
-
Now obviously, Wing Chun, we have so many
-
different techniques and different offensive techniques,
-
and different defensive techniques,
-
but today I will show you the three
-
that I believe are the most dangerous
-
and the most effective.
-
Now, the very first technique is the finger jab.
-
Now, why is the finger jab so dangerous?
-
Let me show you.
-
Now in terms of when we are in the fighting range,
-
the finger jab is the longest weapon
-
against the nearest target.
-
In Wing Chun, you can see it's a very sneaky attack
-
because we are not jabbing the eyes like this.
-
Right? This is not one of those kung fu movies.
-
We actually come from underneath.
-
So when you're looking at someone,
-
you see, this is not in the part of the vision.
-
So from here, it's a very very short distance.
-
Very direct from point A to point B, like so. Right?
-
So it's a very good offensive technique. Example...
-
If I know we're in range...
-
I'm finger jabbing. Right?
-
Right there.
-
Or if we know somebody's gonna attack us,
-
Let's say you throw a hook, so we do a cancel right here,
-
and also we can finger jab. Right? Try again.
-
Boom! Like so.
-
So it's a very both offensive and defensive technique.
-
It's very effective.
-
You can jab the eye. You can also jab the throat.
-
Right there. So let's say he's
-
standing here with a punching hand,
-
go ahead, just punch me right here. So stay there.
-
So from here, now see my fist actually
-
barely reaches him because he's got longer arms.
-
Right? Longer reach.
-
But look at my finger.
-
If I do a finger jab, you can see
-
that it gives me that few more inches of advantage.
-
Now I can hit him before he hits me. So finger jab.
-
Now unfortunately, a lot of Wing Chun practitioners,
-
they don't practice the finger jab very much.
-
They always rely on straight boxing
-
which I will show you the straight box in just a moment.
-
But the finger jab, very very effective.
-
So how you practice it with a Wing Chun
-
stance you can do this like so. Right?
-
And when you're practicing, you can do like this.
-
Typical Wing Chun stance. Like so.
-
And you just jab right there.
-
Right? I'll show you. Like that.
-
Or it could be even from this position, right?
-
Asking hand from here you can see. Show you.
-
Show you like this.
-
See how it's underneath?
-
Boom. So it'll look something like this.
-
Ok I'll show again.
-
And from here. Again so speed will be... like that.
-
Finger jab.
-
Now the second technique, the second
-
most dangerous technique in Wing chun,
-
which is the fundamental technique,
-
which is the straight blast.
-
Now the straight punch, when you throw the punch...
-
This is not boxing.
-
Your width from the center, like so.
-
And it's a vertical punch, like so.
-
It's like a chain punch.
-
Now what makes it dangerous is
-
instead of the beat of boxing,
-
it could be one, two, three, four...
-
Straight punch in Wing Chun it's like...
-
It's like a machine gun.
-
So it's very difficult for someone, let's say in boxing,
-
if someone throws a punch, it's easy for them
-
to bob and weave and do all these things and that's nice,
-
but when somebody's blasting instead of like this,
-
it's a little bit harder to defend.
-
And a little bit harder to bob and weave.
-
And that's why it's very, very dangerous.
-
And if you practice, again, it could be a very good
-
offensive technique or defensive.
-
Let me show you.
-
In this case, and when you're practicing and punch to nose,
-
or even the chest, breastbone,
-
could be the stomach, right?
-
or I like to hit just the throat, ok?
-
So I won't hit the throat, obviously.
-
But it would look something like this.
-
So let's say I can see if he wants to...right there.
-
See that? Slow.
-
Slow. Slow, slow. Right there, see?
-
And if it's speed, it would be like,
-
(punches loudly)
-
Be like that.
-
But you might say, "well, there's no power in that",
-
There's power in there. Ok?
-
And when you're hitting someone it the throat,
-
you do not need a lot of power.
-
Important thing is, practice, relax, from here again,
-
you could be in a typical Wing Chun stance,
-
just practice straight blast.
-
But learn the move.
-
A lot of times, I can see a lot of
-
Wing Chun guys, they practice like this.
-
You don't fight like this. Ok?
-
When you're practicing, make sure you
-
learn how to include the footwork,
-
and you move in to close the gap. Ok?
-
Now that's the second technique, straight blast.
-
Third technique, which is a Wing Chun kick,
-
and sometimes, most of the time
-
they will kick it on the knees or the shin bone.
-
You can see how with a dummy, like these type techniques.
-
Very, very powerful. Very effective.
-
Like so. Make sure bend your knees.
-
Like that. So if I'm here, boom. Like that.
-
Boom. Like that.
-
Now, it is not a flick.
-
It's actually a stomp.
-
When you're practicing on a partner, yeah,
-
just practice you don't wanna hurt your partner.
-
Just kinda like flick. We know.
-
But in reality, it's more like a stomp.
-
You're trying to break the knee, right there. One shot.
-
Now, another thing you could do is of course
-
you can also do the finger jab with the straight blast,
-
and then you can also combine
-
some of these techniques together.
-
Or you do the kick first, and then you finger jab,
-
and then you can do the straight blast.
-
Those three techniques very, very effective.
-
So, three most dangerous techniques in Wing Chun,
-
finger jab, straight blast, and the low kick.
-
Practice. practice well, practice often,
-
I'll see you in the next video.
