- [Dan Lok] If I tell you I'm good,
you'd probably say I'm boasting.
If I tell you I'm no good,
you know I'm lying.
(dramatic music)
- Wing Chun,
how to defend against a boxer.
Now in this video I'm gonna show you some techniques
and a drill that you can practice
when you're against a boxer.
Now I'm not saying ...
So Shin is gonna be the boxer,
he's not a bad guy,
it's just he's gonna be the boxer.
A lot of boxing friends
who are actually very very nice guys.
Jason is gonna be the wing chun guy.
I'm gonna show you different techniques
on what you do
and how to defend against it.
So let me first show you.
There's three techniques.
The first technique,
what we're gonna do is,
we're not gonna learn how to block
and all that stuff
'cause that does not work against a boxer.
Rarely works.
What we wanna train is to train our nervous system
to hit a preemptive strike.
When we sense something is going on,
we're gonna attack.
Okay?
So what we're gonna do in this drill is,
Shin's simply gonna slowly put up his hand.
Just like this.
So he's gonna put his hand down
and put his hands up like that.
So the first technique is very simple,
he puts his hand up,
right,
just like that.
Just boom right there.
This is an inverted hook kick.
If he's standing more like this,
then it will be a straight kick.
So if he slowly puts his hand up
(heavy breath)
like that.
Or if he faces this way,
let's say his right hand,
right hand knee,
right hand knee yeah,
hands down.
He puts his hand up,
(heavy breath)
like that.
We can do that.
So it's very simple.
That's the first technique.
Jason can you give it a try?
Learn to read his body language.
As to get nothing to something.
And you wanna practice non-telegraphic motion.
Okay try that.
Good.
You can practice kicking here.
Yes good.
One more time.
That's the very first technique.
Inverted hook kick
or straight hook kick.
So,
a few kicks that you can do.
You could do the inverted hook kick.
You can do the straight kick.
I like,
this is like a hook,
like that.
You can see Bruce used that a lot.
From there,
which you actually scoop the groin,
like that.
You can do,
you hit also with the toe,
more like that.
Which it takes more accuracy
but it hurts a lot more.
You can also learn to practice with the heels,
you can do it that way.
But for now just,
simple like that.
Oh.
(groans)
It's alright.
So from here,
or maybe this way,
this will be more hook kick this way.
Right?
So more like that.
So hands down.
He puts his hand up,
(heavy breath)
okay.
Again.
Try again.
(heavy breath) Like that.
First technique.
Second technique,
Shin puts his hand up
and I will intercept
by just going in like that.
Straight blast.
Okay,
slowly.
See that.
Try again.
(heavy breath)
One more time.
(heavy breath)
Right there.
So from here,
if you want,
you can break the arm here
or you can do something like this
or just straight blast.
But for now just practice the first technique,
just like that.
Okay Jason try.
Yeah.
Yes.
And stop,
make sure,
stop there,
make sure elbow checking his,
also his forearm,
his elbow.
Your checking it right here.
You don't wanna check his shoulder
'cause he can still hit him.
Make sure you're checking this way.
It's a wedge.
One more time.
Very nice.
Relax more.
Relax.
Better.
(heavy breath)
Yeah.
To a point where you're reading him.
If he moves his arm.
(heavy breath)
Okay one more time.
He moves his arm.
(heavy breath)
You wanna have that kind of explosiveness.
So he puts his arm up.
(heavy breath) (groans)
Could be here.
He puts his arm up,
(groan)
could be there.
Third one,
same drill.
Now we're gonna do a finger jab.
You can do a finger jab here
or you can do a finger jab here.
Now,
here it's a little bit better
'cause I'm on the outside gate,
which is safer
'cause his weapon is pointing that way.
But sometimes you don't know.
If it's inside gate,
it's okay,
but you gotta make sure you walk him back.
So the energy is not like this,
see,
he can still punch me.
See that.
Energy is going up like that.
This angle.
So feel the difference.
Now Shin,
you tell me the difference.
So here,
see the opening right? - Yep.
- Okay.
You see his head
(groan)
like that.
You want to rock him back.
So the finger jab is coming from here.
Not like this
and to,
that's not good.
It's from here directly.
(swooshing)
Alright from here,
so he's ...
and boom.
You see how ...
See this,
this stopped.
His weapon's pointing to the sky.
I don't want this thing to be pointing at me.
I want this thing to be pointing at the sky
and now boom, you can,
(groans)
this is open right.
You can do that kind of stuff.
So from here,
boom.
So you wanna practice.
Again he puts his hand up,
right there.
Alright.
Puts his hand up,
just like that.
Jason try.
And remember a good defense is a good offense.
The best defense is a good offense.
When you sense something is going,
you move towards it.
And that's what makes Wing Chun very very special.
And that's what makes Martial,
any Martial Art very special.
That's just like life.
When you sense danger,
when you sense obstacle,
when you sense challenge,
do you shy away from it
and you avoid it?
or do you just go forward?
What makes it work is when you sense danger,
when you sense obstacle,
when you sense challenge,
you boom,
you move towards it.
You're training your nervous system
to move in again
and again and again
and just shut the guy down.
That's very powerful
because as you're training your nervous system
that's how you act physically,
guess what,
that translates also into your life.
That when you face obstacle,
when you have any kind of challenge,
you move in.
So it's not just about kicking some guys' ass
or punching somebody.
It's not about that.
It's about training yourself.
It's about learning the art.
It's about self-discovery.
Right?
And when you do that enough,
you see,
that even in your day to day life,
you look at things differently.
You solve problems differently.
Not just a technique.
So that's how you defend against a boxer.
Let's quickly review the three techniques.
So hands are down,
he puts his hand up,
(groan)
one kick.
He puts his hand up,
from there.
He puts his hand up,
rock back.
That's it.
Hook hook.
Groin kick.
Straight blast.
And finger jab.
That's how you defend against a boxer.
Practice.
Practice that.
Practice safely.
And practice often.
Try the technique
and you let me know how it works.
