  • Since I did several tapes

  • Probably alot of people ask me

  • Why you want to show off

  • To the Wing Chun guy

  • The purpose I am doing this tape

  • Because I am getting old now

  • Maybe next year or whatever I can't do it anymore

  • Might as well I do this

  • It's for Ip Man's direct students

  • Maybe they are too old to do this type of thing now.

  • So I am doing this now

  • Although when I do this thing now

  • Alot of Wing Chun people will not like it

  • Oh you expose Wing Chun, It is not expose

  • You do the thing you want to get that timing

  • Coordination on time

  • It also takes you years

  • to train

  • to get that coordination and timing

  • So it does not matter to expose it

  • Nowadays firearms take care of everything

  • You don't have to do it

  • This is physics

  • Can you do it?

  • The coordination

  • not the knowledge

  • You can talk alot of theory

  • but the application has got to be on time

  • no fool playing

  • not winning by talking

  • but winning by action.

  • Chi Sau or sticking hands

  • is the soul of Wing Chun.

  • When I learned Wing Chun with Ip Man

  • we didn't have distance fighting.

  • We started with sticking hands

  • Tan Sau, Fuk Sau or Bong Sau.

  • We never had distance fighting

  • Luckily we snuck out to fight with other styles

  • we went out to get our experience

  • Now people have the sticking hands experience

  • We have it so you stick hands pretty good but you can't fight

  • Other people can fight but they can't stick hands.

  • Just like Yin and Yang

  • You do good at Yang doesn't mean you have the Yin part.

  • You do the Yin part doesn't mean you have the Yang part.

  • Pretty funny

  • If you are very emotional I tell you to calm down

  • The gap from emotion to calm

  • takes how long and then you do sticking hands.

  • Another reason is

  • Sticking hands has forearm power

  • and bicep power

  • Sticking hands is mostly bicep power

  • Ok now

  • Becasue the bicep power when I push the guy out

  • I am using the elbow next to my body

  • Why Wing Chun is like that

  • Because the structure is aiming on the floor

  • Aiming on the floor I get ground power

  • I lift my body up

  • I lift his arm up

  • But if you do this

  • Where do you lift?

  • Maybe you're a big guy you lift here.

  • you can do that

  • But we small guys, Ip man was my size

  • How can he lift up a big guy?

  • So you have to have a way to lift the guy.

  • Hydraulics, you need the ground power!

  • The ground power

  • is called the structure.

  • Here, from here to a line down there

  • There's no line down there, you want to lift this arm up

  • you've got to come from your arm

  • If you are a big muscular guy you can do it

  • but normal people, can they do it

  • I doubt it. Now put the pressure on me

  • press harder!

  • I lift you up.

  • So this is the Tan Sau.

  • A lot of people do Tan Sau like this

  • so you don't lift anything

  • Because down here is nothing

  • Nothing to support

  • So this is what the structure is for.

  • Then it doesn't matter if you want it or don't want it

  • If you are a big guy, a young guy, you have alot of arm power

  • you can do it.

  • Another thing is

  • this is the bicep power

  • Why? Because the bicep is close to the body

  • So you use the body to lift this up

  • but then talk about landing

  • If I land using bicep power to land

  • That will be the question.

  • Fighting will need a Pak Sau, you have to get rid of this hand

  • This is for lifting.

  • It's not for delivering.

  • If you deliver like that

  • you destroy your 3rd line

  • (His) center line goes here (to your right line)

  • The right side line goes here.

  • Right side here!

  • Now you are using the physical (strength).

  • physical (strength) to physical (strength)

  • I lift this so the center lifts.

  • To deliver I have to get rid of this hand.

  • How do I get rid of his hand?

  • The Bong Sau gets rid of his hands.

  • Lift the pressure off your elbow.

  • So from Tan Sau to Bong Sau

  • I lift. If I continue

  • I can't lift him anymore.

  • I continue to lift

  • That's it

  • The Bong Sau is for lifting

  • Lift the guy

  • It's not for fighting

  • Some people, they punch and they do this

  • No you do the lifting

  • That's why.. he knows how to counter me

  • Ok it's not for fighting

  • It's for contact lifting.

  • Ok now

  • Come to here

  • I lift him up

  • Ok I change my hand now!

  • I use the time gap. He doesn't realize what's going on.

  • I switch the hand.

  • Just like magic

  • I do this

  • I lift I hit

  • Then he continues to go back

  • So this is just like you play magic.

  • right hand left hand I let you see it then I slip it

  • so this is

  • the interchanging of the hands

  • The question is

  • I teach you - can you do it?

  • Just like magic

  • But he didn't do the magic

  • You have to take a long time to practice

  • OK

  • Now this type of thing

  • I lift, I can't lift him what are you going to do

  • I can't lift his hand

  • Just because his pressure is too strong

  • I can't lift it

  • So I use his mind

  • I keep lifting him (keep up pressure)

  • He keeps pressing

  • His mind is on this hand

  • I use this hand, get out of my way

  • Because his mind is on lifting my hand

  • His mind is not on the other side (of his body)

  • I use this side to crash his own hand

  • and I go

  • OK

  • Then no argument

  • When you do a hard job I do this

  • Then I come to here

  • One hand controls two hands

  • Here control

  • One hand controls two hands

  • OK this will be the skill

  • How to from left hand switch it to right hand

  • and left hand switch it to this.

  • Now, body structure is still there

  • If I want to make him

  • go harder I just...

  • just go

  • Power, structure everything goes at once.
