[quote=onepiecejer;2279451]Hi my name’s Jeremy, currently 16 years old. 175 cm around, 127lbs
I have come across this forum recently as a place where I might be able to get some advice from good martial artists.

Martial arts I have done before:

Wing Chun for half a year, I have stopped doing this due to its lack of sparring, didnt really like the idea of “Chi Sau” and the time spent on forms every lesson. However with that said I have great respect for my instructor.

I am currently doing Muay Thai and Krav Maga. I have been learning Muay Thai for around 2-3 months and right now theres some problems

The problem is that during sparring

  1. I cant get close enough to punch due to opponents push kicks
  2. When i do get a chance to punch i seem to be only hitting his gloves
  3. When i go for punches I dont punch like “jab, jab, cross”, but its a habit for me to punching “1,2,3,4” and keep charging at him, which ends with me at a disadvantage

Anyone kind enough to tell me some strategies they use during sparring? Also when I punch a wall bag I have at home i usually hit the middle and third knuckle, is there a way to correct that?
Sorry, this is my first post, excuse me if I sound a bit stupid =][/quote]

hey if this is ur first post welcome to bullshido since your doing mt you’re prolyl nto gonna be subjected to the amount of shit that us chunners ninjers and aikidoka ect. get. regardless on to your question.

I’m a wing chun fighter and I train in muay thai as well. The counter to a push kick that my kru taught me is very similar to a counter my sifu taught me. You know how to perform gan sao right? well step off to the side and open your gan sao a bit to scoop the incoming leg. if you get it from the outside the kick will force them offline adn open up thier back to you. afterwards we were taught to land a power leg kick to the back of the thigh.

As for your covering up problem. IN boxing it’s a little annyoing in Muay Thai it’s great. In fact, one fo my senior student friends told me that he doesnt recommend shelling up as a valid defense unless a last resort. If the guys covering up high I like to chop into his leg with a leg kick. In boxing you have to look for openings on the body so it’s a litle harder but in MT you can jsut kick thier lower body anywhere and keep your hands protecting yourself form counters.

Another strategy I’ve found is the one inch punch from wing chun. I apply it with a jab. Basically alot of guys will try to parry a jab. a few will cover up adn this makes it harder but if they do either of these it can work. this wont work if they avoid the jab or step back on it.

Basically you jab and expect the firstone will be defended. now you relax and then tense again as you punch wihtout retracting your hand back to your face. liek a double jab but made mroe effective since you’re using the tense at the moment of impact wing chun energy. this is not a knockout punch but it usually gets through to thier face and almost always causes a reaction that will let you land a bigger shot.

hope this helps.

In boxing, we call that a lazy jab. Or an easy knock out, if you have any power at all in your right hand.

And you do it on purpose.

I would love to fight you sometime.

[quote=EyeOfTheTigger;2284809]Thankyou very much for the replies, everybody. You have given me plenty to think about, for sure!

It is really Wing Chun that interests me, though. I love the fluidity and skill of their blocking techniques, and would like to learn them simply for the pleasure of it.
Many thanks once again to everybody who offered information.[/quote]

I can ofer you a suggestion. my sifu GM Steve Lee Swift has put out a series of DVD’s for everything from learning the forms and partner drills, improving chi sao combinations, and self defense situations.

It seems liek you’re interested in the art of wing chun and the fresh different methods that kung fu uses for defense.

this is an example of my sifu notice the fluiditity of his movements and how one attack flows into the next.

YouTube- Extreme Wing Chun Kung Fu Street Tactics

if this is what you’re looking for I encourage you to visit his website:

Grandmasterswingchun.com

you can either call or purchase from teh website to order. These dvd’s have helped ppl in their studies all voer the world. Alot of tiems in class we’ll be workgin adn the phone rings he goes to get it and it’s someone in germany or someone in holland. So international shipping is perfectly fine.

wingchunx2z, aren’t you banned from newbie town for giving bananas advice?

it wouldn’t suprise me if a mod deceided to do that. I don’t feel I’m breaking any rules giving smoeone who has already asked a wing chun specefic question an asnwer not already stated. That’s nto trolling.

However, I’ve come to expect the higher powers of bullshido to do w/e they feel like doing so who knows.

wingchunx2z,

From your GM’s site:

“Grandmaster Swift first began his martial arts training at the age of 5. He first trained in boxing, and then at the age of 10, he started training in an Okinawa art, earning his black belt by the age of 13. For the next several years Grandmaster Swift participated in tournaments and taught his karate style through several different high school and college programs. At 17, he discovered there was something missing in the arts that he studied as a youth. The young, aggressive, and adept Steve Lee Swift would soon empty his cup and surrender all that he had learned to his true calling: the art of Wing Chun Kung Fu.”

He has to be the real deal. He learned at 17 what many of us took so much longer to realize.

Then he started the Chun. Of course, this was after earning a black belt in an Okinawan style in 3 years, teaching as a child at local schools high school and college programs.

Let us not forget the soke membership.

You’ll also notice that his students seem completely unable to defend themselves. Even if they could just learn to cover up and throw the odd blind hook it would be a massive improvement.

Trolling newbietown again.

Is distance learning effective? - No BS MMA and Martial Arts

Right because you don’t listen Yes, he wants to do Chun but, his question asked if he can learn from DVDs.

Funny how you pimped the DVD and didn’t answer the question. We don’t need commercials. If you want to do that, buy an advertising package.

This is bullshit. I’m fairly certain you’ve been warned not to spam your instructor’s material on this website on more than one occasion.

My instructor has authored a book and a DVD set. Guess how many times I’ve recommended his material on Bullshido?

Hint: none

We are not asking you to follow any rules that we do not follow ourselves.

All I have to say is, read his two noob thread responses.
