(arms smacking)
(upbeat music)
- Good.
Wing Chun for beginners.
Another Wing Chun technique I'm going to show you is
the Wu Sao, or the protective hand.
When you are in any kind of scenario,
sometimes when you get caught by surprise,
for something in front of between you (slaps)
and your opponent.
And the way you do that is through the Wu Sao.
I'm going to show you how to do that in this video.
We're almost at the last part of this series.
Today I'm going to show you the Wu Sao, protective hand.
So, the drill that we were doing,
think about the (foreign language) all that.
Wu Sao is very simple.
It's just putting this, the hand (laughs)
in front of their face, or their throat.
Now, when you do this, again, focus on the elbow.
Not the finger.
Not this, it's the elbow.
So, imagine I'm thrusting the elbow to him.
So Shini if you just go back to a straight blast,
I'll do it wrong, okay?
Watch.
See, tell them the feeling.
- Kind of soft. - Yeah going through, right?
So I'm putting it in front of you.
Put it in front of you.
You can see right it's just there.
It's very difficult to penetrate.
And this again blocks a good chunk of your body.
This is very nice, right.
Now what you don't wanna do again
no lazy fingers, thumbs in,
none of this shit.
But the reason for that is if I'm punching straight blast.
He's let's say Shini's finger was up.
Open finger.
Open that one, do that.
Now what happens is
(grunts)
this is no good.
The ones who, the guys who are good they can break it
they can grab it they can do all kinds of stuff.
So make sure
fingers tucked in.
Like that.
Tucked in.
And then you don't want this pointing like this
you want it pointed like that.
Reason is again feel the difference.
Now I'm gonna do,
so Shini's gonna punch me I'm gonna do it this way.
And feel the difference, tell me.
It's pretty good.
- Not bad. - Not bad but
feel the difference.
- That's tougher. - Yeah, all I did
is this angle.
So experiment with your training buddy.
Do this or this.
When you point up this facing (slaps)
this (slaps) part of mechanic it's a lot more solid.
Just this and that makes a difference,
Again the little difference, little mechanic
don't get fucking lazy you can't be fucking lazy about this.
You got to get it right.
Like this.
Wu Sao try again.
Right.
Right there.
Now if I put in a little bit more intention
a little but more stuff I call it stuff.
Right.
Not force.
Nor force.
(slaps) Just a little bit more stuff.
(speaks foreign language) in Chinese.
That power, than this works.
It cuts through.
This is not just a defense it's all different technique.
It's also an attack technique.
The only difference between this
and another punch this is good but any time.
Try a couple do it light.
Right, I can turn it into a fist.
It's an attack.
It's just this.
If I change this (slaps) it's an attack.
So the minute I change to a fist
and I extend my elbow a little bit it's an attack.
But when we're training, when training your buddy
you can do that.
Okay I felt that I could go in there.
Do whatever one more time.
So I'm doing my Wu Sao slowly going right.
I can come in right (slaps) from here.
You can do all kinds of stuff.
So it's this.
Another thing you could do is what if sometimes
people ask me the question what if this guy knows Wing Chun
and he's blasts the shit out of me?
(laughs)
Clearly if I'm doing that then he's doing that
we got a little bit issue.
One thing you could do is Wu Sao.
Okay so now, Shin I want you to straight blast me.
Okay,
I want you to I don't know when how you're gonna do it
you're just gonna do whatever speed you're gonna do it.
But I want you to touch me.
Actually touch me.
Or I'm gonna do the Wu Sao try that.
Try.
Do you see how this was in front of him?
Not easy. - Yeah.
- So I'm not sure what he's gonna do but at least
hey fuck it I got something in front of him.
Right, look, right.
Now all I have to do is if I just move just using one arm.
Try this again.
Try.
Try again.
See it's not easy.
It's from this, it's all from this.
One hand.
If you combine it with, yeah two hands.
Right from here see.
Right this and this now you're pretty safe.
This.
Not including kicking him I'm not talking any of that stuff,
just here.
So Wu Sao.
Center line elbow
push.
Like that, same thing with this.
Push, you can do it like that.
It's a good way.
Show you the side, angle.
Like that, not too much.
Not this you get hit.
This, you get pulled down.
Here.
Not side.
Here.
Right there.
This should be pretty dense, you should be able to feel that
so push.
You should, not like tense.
But you should feel, you should feel the power.
Right, you should feel the power like that.
Right there.
This.
Right? (slaps)
Right there.
And it's not force it's just my mechanic
my angle is good.
See I'm not using this, I'm not doing.
It's just the angle is good.
Right, the angle's no good you get hit.
Angle too low that's no good.
Right.
Angle is good and I feel that he
I just feel a little opening then you can go in.
Just a tiny little bit.
Like even right now see, tiny bit.
Tiny little bit, it's all of this right.
That's the Wu Sao.
(speaks in foreign language) a lot of techniques I know
but practice slowly.
Ideally you wanna get a good instructor to teach you.
But you can at least get a basic understanding.
My goal is to have you have a basic understanding.
Maybe just to inspire you to go out there and learn the art.
If I've done that then you wanna learn more about
Wing Chun you wanna learn more about Bruce Lee.
You wanna learn a bit more about the Chinese culture
or the JKD.
If just sparked a little interest
and you take that next step then I think I've done my job.
