Countering kicks

kicks martial arts self defense wing chun techniques wing chun training Dec 24, 2021

In Chum Kil, we are introduced to the methods of dealing with kicks. As in all Wing Chun counters, it is principle-based about using practical direct concepts rather than memorizing fixed patterns of techniques. For example, let's take a brief look at how to deal with a front kick to the groin. Here are some very basic concepts in progression.

Progression is one of the most important...

Hey everyone,

Christmas time is coming and most schools are on break and will be back only by next year.

That reminds me that a lot of Martial Arts practitioners and especially Wing Chun lovers won't have partners to train with. What kind of breaks the progression train purpose.

You might not know but I've been in the same situation, where years ago I moved abroad and could not find...

Ambush

chum kil kung fu martial arts wing chun Dec 06, 2021

The Chum Kil form introduces a recovery concept against an ambush attack using the Bong Sau. You will definitely learn it in the second section of the form. I must admit that this is one of the most misunderstood parts of the entire Chum Kil form. In the form, the hands are drop-down and then raise up in a Bong Sau position, this repeats 3 times in the form. Very often people...

Arm breaks

In the first section of the Chum Kil form, there is a combination movement of Jut Sau and Tan Sau, this movement is used for arm breaks. I would like to talk a little about this today.

The Jut Sau - Tan Sau arm break movement is often explained as an arm breaking application against a chest level shirt grab. In my opinion, this is not a very realistic application as 99% of the time when...

Shoulder Checking

chum kil martial arts wing chun wing chun techniques Oct 22, 2021

Instead of blocking the forearms, the idea of shoulder checking is to stop punches at their root. This idea is found in many Asian arts such as Silat, Kuntao, Kali, and many Gung Fu systems. It is also found in the old dirty boxes, just look at the great former champion George Forearm, he used shoulder checking a lot.

For some reason, it is often neglected in modern Wing Chun;...

WING CHUN KICKS

kicks martial arts martial arts techniques wing chun techniques wing chun training Oct 14, 2021

Wing Chun has an arsenal of kicks - cross-kick, front kick, side kick are the main ones, all other kicks are variations of these main kicks. The reason is, just like the hand strikes, in order to follow the directness principle, the strikes use mainly straight as possible attacks. Therefore, the kicks are the same idea, to go as directly as possible and hence the 3 main kicks.

Chum Kil Uppercut

The Uppercut is found at the end of the second section in the Chum Kil form. Most of the time, people explain this motion in the form of an uppercut short punch. While this may be true, it is much more than just one new technique or punches being introduced by the form. Just like Sil Lim Tao and all of the other Wing Chun forms, 99% of all motions in the forms are principles and...
