- How to break your arms as taught by Ving Tsun. Or Wing Chun, however you spell it, youre getting your arms broken this way. Also, this video shows a test which shows how they defend against attacks that will never hit anyway
- English
That is amazing! Now I know the true way of breaking your arms.
Another thing I learnt from this video is that you can block punches using the centreline theory that were NEVER GOING TO LAND IN THE FIRST PLACE. Genius!
Oh, to have the hubris to stand there and put my arm out so someone can roundhouse it.
Yeah but after watching that crap I found a link to this kickass stunt video on Youtube.
so bad-good, I had to watch it twice.
Mr Rabbit.
I love it. As I watched it, I became aware of a large smile spreading across my Face. Great choreography. I’m guessing Mr Black is Bruce and Mr White is Chuck. I almost failed to notice that it wasn’t The Colosseum…
Great stuff.
As for the original. Hmm, arms blocking full-blooded kicks??? Seems somewhat Hopeful but unlikely…
Um yeah, you guys are being little bitches. Where as I have no love loss for the chun we can say the same shit about a lot of other styles that block the same way including boxing.
How to break your arms, Ving Tsun Style
Omega are you serious? That is exactly how I broke my arm and how I broke Kin’s arm.
The little Asian guy had some sharp moves… Also, they twist their forearm a bit so the muscles take most of the hit. Wouldn’t try it myself against someone that actually tries to kick me though, without stepping away too.
You don’t block kicks in boxing…but i guess if someone did kick you, you wouldn’t add the twist thing… so it will be even worse.
I do think though that if your hands are properly conditioned and you try to absorb the impact instead of blocking with a rigid hand, you won’t break it.

Rabbit’s video = win.
[QUOTE=Omega Supreme;2669347]Right, that’s my point.[/QUOTE]
So not a good block but not exclusive to chun?
I gotta disagree a little. We both knew we made mistakes. No one told us to block that way on purpose. This appears to be an instructional on how to break your arm.

I know you like to be cute by being vague but can you make a little sense?
Forget Chun for a second. I don’t ever think it is correct to block with one arm bone while reaching out from your body.

My point is that Chun isn’t the only system that teaches how to block a kick incorrectly. I’ve been seeing this shit for years in kickboxing and mma. Basically guys taking the boxing approach to block a kick. That vides show the kick being blocked but we all know that there are more powerful kicks where that’s going to shatter the hands. I’ve seen more arms get broken with kicks from the boxing approach vs this approach so yeah…
I’ve never been taught this blocking technique in an mma or boxing class. I’ve been told specifically NOT to do this many times, though - to collapse the area of control around the body, only block what will actually hit, and not block with an isolated arm - over and over. In boxing I was taught to wing block hooking punches and to parry straight punches by pushing them off target or past target, I’ve NEVER heard anybody go “slam your forearm into the strike at it’s weakest point over and over”
I was taught to block like this is some tae kwon do classes and in a kempo class - the latter employing the whole “block hard and damage the striking limb” rationale
what “boxing approach to kicking” are you talking about? The boxing I took was boxing-boxing, ie kicking not in play - I’m assuming this is some sort of “boxing for mma” video or something you’re talking about when you refer to a video or videos you’ve seen?
[QUOTE=JohnnyCache;2669418]I’ve never been taught this blocking technique in an mma or boxing class.[/quote]Nor did I say they did, I’m saying bad blocking advice in general.

Cool, not my point.
not questioning you, I’m just wondering where you encountered a reaching to the blow/interesting approach to boxing. I’ve never, now that I think about it, had much formal instruction in stopping punches to the midsection in the limited time I was exclusively boxing - it was pretty much stop it with your elbows or pivot out - is there a school of boxing that says reach for body blows?
I mean, I SEE people reach to block all the time, but I’ve always assumed it was a fuck up - a digression from training to instinct - whereas this guy is actually saying “stick your arm out and stop a round kick with it” which seems … bad. Not to mention, he’s not teaching any defensive footwork or head/body movement… seems like he’s teaching his guys to step off the curb and in front of the bus.

This is what I was getting at.
I’ve seen people poorly defend kicks by tucking their elbow in like blocking a bodyshot, without any kind of position change involved, and end up receiving the impact poorly. But the fact that there’s many ways you can fail at blocking a kick doesn’t mean we shouldn’t laugh when a laughable kick defense is taught. If we took that approach, we could never criticize anyone for anything they teach.
