FIGHT DRILLS

All good systems of Kung Fu will have a lot of drill work as part of the training. These develop and then refine particular skill sets needed for combat. In Wing Chun the drills should feed directly into your Chi Sau or “sticky hands” work giving you the answers to the physical questions raised by each participant within the exchange. Without the drilling the students are left scrabbling around, inventing the answers themselves as they go, which, the vast majority of the time leads to poor skill development.

With solid drill work in hand your Chi Sau play then needs to have a focus to it that directly feeds into your free fighting. If the goal of your training is to know how to use Wing Chun for combat these steps must exist.

Chi Sau work often involves a large amount of time spent on what we call “rolling.” But whereas the “roll” helps to develop and grow structural full body power it is abstract to the fight. Striking and counter striking are the keys and these are not inside the roll if both practitioners have a good body frame to deal with the force generated inside of rolling.

There can be a tendency in Wing Chun Chi Sau for the “rolling” to dominate the time spent in the exchange, something like 70/30 ratio of rolling to striking. In our opinion this is an error and is an inefficient use of time. The ratio should be reversed at a minimum of 30/70 rolling to striking. This makes the students’ Chi Sau play more pertinent to the goal of using Wing Chun for combat and prepares them for the logical final step in the training, which is the full contact free fighting. This is used to test the skills learned through drilling and Chi Sau in a live pressured environment more akin to real violence.

For a good example of these ideas in action please enjoy this video of Sifu John Lobb’s students in Warrington, UK.

👍👍👍👉👉Posted @damomitchell A teacher 👍👍👍👉👉Posted @damomitchell A teacher should aid you in your practice but not personally disempower you in any way. Seems to me that many people are too willing to throw themselves before a perceived guru. This gives rise to the potential for abuse. . #qigong #yoga #guru #spirit #ubud #ubudyoga 😬#ubudguru #neigong #meditation #cult

I’ve been teaching some foundations of Qi Gong t I’ve been teaching some foundations of Qi Gong to a small group of students here in London this last month. Finished off the last physical class today. It’s been an absolute pleasure to share this information and practice with this group and I’m very grateful for their hard work and to my teacher for helping me get to this point. Qi Gong is a powerful tool for self transformation of body and mind. It’s a huge topic with endless progression as far as I can tell. It’s also really hard work, a good laugh (at times) and on occasion astonishingly beautiful. If you’re interested in delving into the workings of the mind and the body, opening yourself up, building strength and gaining an genuine, experiential understanding of Qi then let me know. We’ll be doing another month of sessions later in the year. #qigong #qigonglondon #londonqigong #neigong #mindfulness
