- Wing Chun:
Generating and Applying Force in a Stronger Attacker.
Now in Wing Chun,
the way we generate force is a little bit different
than other martial arts because I think force is relative
and there's a difference between force and power.
(intense electronic music)
In Wing Chun, we generate the power and force
with our structure, with our form.
So it's not so much just muscle.
Now you need muscle too
because you need a basic conditioning.
You want to be able to move.
You want to have some basic conditioning.
We need that.
A lot of Wing Chun practitioners
don't spend enough time on that
and that's why Bruce Lee when he came to America
he learned that he needs to condition his body
and that's how he shaped himself into this machine, right?
In terms of force, think about ...
I want to show you just structure-wise how that works.
So if Drake here is pushing me,
if I'm using force ...
So I'm using like-- like that.
That's muscle-to-muscle.
How many pounds are you?
- 200.
- 200 pounds. I'm like 175.
So you can force continuous force.
Just hold it, right?
That's all force.
You don't want to do that because now it gets tired,
but versus here I'm using my structure.
I'm relaxed, so just lean on me.
Lean on me.
Give me a little bit more pressure.
Lean on me, push weight a bit more.
So you see, look at him.
Look at Drake.
That's his whole body weight.
I'm using one hand.
I'm not (grunts).
Look at my muscle.
It's relaxed.
Look at my muscle.
It's relaxed, right?
So in Wing Chun ...
Now Drake, I want you to push, hold, push down.
Give me a push that's as heavy as possible.
Hold it, hold it, hold it.
See that? That's muscle.
That's muscle.
Push, hold it.
But if you use structure of it ...
That's I'm using my structure
so it's very different than when you use force.
Also in terms of target,
because we're not punching the body
we are hitting the throat, right?
We're jabbing the eye.
We're hitting the chin
and we're hitting the groin.
We're hitting the shin,
we're hitting the knees,
so the way we apply force and power
is a little bit more precise.
We're trying to hit certain spots, right?
So first thing when it comes
to applying and generating force,
you need to learn how to relax, okay?
So Drake is new to this, which is good.
I don't know where you're watching this,
some people watching this,
you might be new too.
So very simple.
Drake, I just want you to throw a punch
from your center-line like that.
So just one punch.
Okay, try that again.
One again.
Again.
Now relax a little bit more.
You want it to be almost like a mud.
You want it to be like ...
Relax.
Not so relaxed that you're like that,
but you're relaxed.
Your muscles relax.
Go ahead.
Better.
Got it.
(speaks foreign language)
Again.
Now when you punch,
what I want you do is use your body and move forward.
Yes.
So let me show you how it works.
Drake, I want you to just do a straight punch
and just to this, okay?
Hopefully I don't hit the mic.
So you can see here.
Try that.
Just stand a little bit closer.
Try it.
Yeah.
Good.
Now you can see relaxed puts your power into it.
Now this time do it like you want to flow through it.
So a little bit more relaxed,
but flow through it.
Okay.
Good.
You can see that.
Okay so Wing Chun you can have
just the fist using the structure, right?
You can just do that, right?
You can just do that.
Again.
Just do that.
Now relax and let it see the difference.
Do you feel that?
It penetrates more.
Do that, do that.
Okay?
And now I want to put my body, my structure
applying and generating force.
Imagine like this, okay?
So I'll do it very slow.
So from here I'm ...
Okay?
From here ...
I won't hit the heart because it hurts like hell,
but watch.
My whole body into it.
One more time.
So relax, right?
From here, one more time.
Relax, let it sink, and poom!
Okay?
From here, watch.
Same punch,
but generating the force from here, here, all the way in.
And that's how you generate and apply force
but against a stronger guy.
You can do straight-box this way,
which is what we learn.
It's nice,
but also you can do it from here
and you put your body into it and (grunts)!
You put everything.
You've got your hip, your knees, here,
and that's why people say straight box has no power.
You need ten of these to finish guy.
Maybe you do, but if you get get hit ...
Imagine, Drake, that punch hit you in your throat.
Or a hit to your chest without this.
- That's painful. - That's painful, right?
So last time, one more time.
Relax.
And you ...
If you speed it out you can see that.
That's how you do it.
