Probably alot of people ask me

Why you want to show off

To the Wing Chun guy

The purpose I am doing this tape

Because I am getting old now

Maybe next year or whatever I can't do it anymore

Might as well I do this

It's for Ip Man's direct students

Maybe they are too old to do this type of thing now.

So I am doing this now

Although when I do this thing now

Alot of Wing Chun people will not like it

Oh you expose Wing Chun, It is not expose

You do the thing you want to get that timing

Coordination on time

It also takes you years

to train

to get that coordination and timing

So it does not matter to expose it

Nowadays firearms take care of everything

You don't have to do it

This is physics

Can you do it?

The coordination

not the knowledge

You can talk alot of theory

but the application has got to be on time

no fool playing

not winning by talking

but winning by action.

Chi Sau or sticking hands

is the soul of Wing Chun.

When I learned Wing Chun with Ip Man

we didn't have distance fighting.

We started with sticking hands

Tan Sau, Fuk Sau or Bong Sau.

We never had distance fighting

Luckily we snuck out to fight with other styles

we went out to get our experience

Now people have the sticking hands experience

We have it so you stick hands pretty good but you can't fight

Other people can fight but they can't stick hands.

Just like Yin and Yang

You do good at Yang doesn't mean you have the Yin part.

You do the Yin part doesn't mean you have the Yang part.

Pretty funny

If you are very emotional I tell you to calm down

The gap from emotion to calm

takes how long and then you do sticking hands.

Another reason is

Sticking hands has forearm power

and bicep power

Sticking hands is mostly bicep power

Ok now

Becasue the bicep power when I push the guy out

I am using the elbow next to my body

Why Wing Chun is like that

Because the structure is aiming on the floor

Aiming on the floor I get ground power

I lift my body up

I lift his arm up

But if you do this

Where do you lift?

Maybe you're a big guy you lift here.

you can do that

But we small guys, Ip man was my size

How can he lift up a big guy?

So you have to have a way to lift the guy.

Hydraulics, you need the ground power!

The ground power

is called the structure.

Here, from here to a line down there

There's no line down there, you want to lift this arm up

you've got to come from your arm

If you are a big muscular guy you can do it

but normal people, can they do it

I doubt it. Now put the pressure on me

press harder!

I lift you up.

So this is the Tan Sau.

A lot of people do Tan Sau like this

so you don't lift anything

Because down here is nothing

Nothing to support

So this is what the structure is for.

Then it doesn't matter if you want it or don't want it

If you are a big guy, a young guy, you have alot of arm power

you can do it.

Another thing is

this is the bicep power

Why? Because the bicep is close to the body

So you use the body to lift this up

but then talk about landing

If I land using bicep power to land

That will be the question.

Fighting will need a Pak Sau, you have to get rid of this hand

This is for lifting.

It's not for delivering.

If you deliver like that

you destroy your 3rd line

(His) center line goes here (to your right line)

The right side line goes here.

Right side here!

Now you are using the physical (strength).

physical (strength) to physical (strength)

I lift this so the center lifts.

To deliver I have to get rid of this hand.

How do I get rid of his hand?

The Bong Sau gets rid of his hands.

Lift the pressure off your elbow.

So from Tan Sau to Bong Sau

I lift. If I continue

I can't lift him anymore.

I continue to lift

That's it

The Bong Sau is for lifting

Lift the guy

It's not for fighting

Some people, they punch and they do this

No you do the lifting

That's why.. he knows how to counter me

Ok it's not for fighting

It's for contact lifting.

Ok now

Come to here

I lift him up

Ok I change my hand now!

I use the time gap. He doesn't realize what's going on.

I switch the hand.

Just like magic

I do this

I lift I hit

Then he continues to go back

So this is just like you play magic.

right hand left hand I let you see it then I slip it

so this is

the interchanging of the hands

The question is

I teach you - can you do it?

Just like magic

But he didn't do the magic

You have to take a long time to practice

OK

Now this type of thing

I lift, I can't lift him what are you going to do

I can't lift his hand

Just because his pressure is too strong

I can't lift it

So I use his mind

I keep lifting him (keep up pressure)

He keeps pressing

His mind is on this hand

I use this hand, get out of my way

Because his mind is on lifting my hand

His mind is not on the other side (of his body)

I use this side to crash his own hand

and I go

OK

Then no argument

When you do a hard job I do this

Then I come to here

One hand controls two hands

Here control

One hand controls two hands

OK this will be the skill

How to from left hand switch it to right hand

and left hand switch it to this.

Now, body structure is still there

If I want to make him

go harder I just...

just go

Power, structure everything goes at once.
