Ok it is official... I dropped out of wing chun

Reviews, Videos, and Everything Else Trollshido

It has lost its fun…

The only punch taught was the straight punch to the face. After 6 months learning only one punch seems kind of pointless. And half the time it was chain punching.

Of course to demonstrate its effectiveness he would find his weakest students and use it on them, going BOOM!BOOM!BOOM! each time he did a chain punch while running forward into them. I guess we were supposed to learn that chain punching is unbeatable?

We had this school logo with some chinese symbols on it. The guy was Chinese and knew what the symbols meant. The idiot would not even translate them for the students, telling them “Ahhh someday you will know”, trying to keep this air of a mysterious asian man about him. HA!!!

I learned Siu Lum Tao. Ok, it is relaxing but I find no practical purpose to most of it. The whole thing seems pointless and stupid. I mean, it feels kind of nice doing it from a joint movement standpoint (I have carpal tunnel and it helped me a little) but beyond that I see no fighting application.

Some weird moves in it. Example - In part 2 you push behind your rear end while wiping the sides of your hips. Yes I was told WIPE TO THE BACK. This is the move after the 3 slow movements at the beginning…

You are told to rotate on your heels. This is just weird. I am sorry but rotating on your heels while throwing a punch creates allot of friction on a small area of your shoe, making it hard to turn. Plus it is just a weird movement!!!

Lop Sao, sticky hands over and over again… just plain boring. Standing in front of some guy touching arms repeating the same movements over and over again.

Aside from the fact that it pulls your arm hairs out, if you have some really skinny guy with veins sticking out of his arm as your partner its freakin’ sick to feel them squish on your arm.

And the refusal to to turn the damn AC on in the middle of 90+ degree humid summer heat is just cruel. I am sure that I could call Amnesty International and organize a protest if I felt like it.

The stupid little kung fu shoes with no arch support or any kinf of structural support. Basically bedroom sllippers. WTF???

And the centerline, how am I supposed to keep finding the centerline when I am rotating on my heels which is slow in itself and very limiting? The fact is you are expected to find HIS centerline and protect YOUR centerline while rotating along your axis line using the mother line to connect the two center lines.

I did not know this was a geometry class.

Goodbye Wing Chun, I am sorry I wasted time and money on you. I could have had more fun bowling.

Oh and for the record he actually WOULD yell BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM each time.

3

My Sifu did the same thing except he would yell Cha! Cha! Cha! Cha!

4

Now you have plenty of room in your schedule for aikido!

Excellent just excellent. Between that and yelling ‘NECK BREAK’ every time I grapple with some one I now feel that I am the complete martial arts package;

Stand up: BOOM BOOM BOOM! = win.

Grappling: NECK BREAK! = win.

Who the hell needs to cross-train when you can just shout shit?

And I’ve learned it all from this very site.

Thanks Bullshido!

So, this is your parody thread of MBriefcase?

7

I thought I had to be around longer to be parodied. If you’re being serious, it’s not very good. If you’re making fun of me, it’s even worse.

8

I thought it was well established that the correct approach is “Foom foom foom!” It’s no wonder that your inferior “Boom boom boom!” Chun was disappointing.

YouTube- Sifu Och Wing Chun Kung Fu - car self defense - basics

Silly. He needs something practical, combat-tested and relevant to the harsh reality of the streets of the 21st Century.

Ving Tsun, for example.

10

i do believe that there are some places out there that teach shitty kung fu, however dont rule every place out.

11

A month ago you were starting threads about how wing chun is awesome.

Today you start a thread saying that you have quit.

Your style field now says MMA.

Why should we believe anything you say? Where do you train MMA? For how long?

12

I guess changing your style field was your answer to my question of where you train MMA now?

13

It is what he did before. He came in with MMA or BJJ and changed when he started trolling with the chun.

We determine where the centerline is by looking the direction that your nose is pointing when in a fighting stance. Your opponent’s centerline can be found by seeing where his nose is pointing. Pretty simple.

16

I thought it was down the centre of our bodies, regardless of where the head is pointing. That’s what I was taught at my particular brand of chun anyway.

17

I did wing chun for a month but the impressionn that I got was it was the inside position. Look please correct me if I am wrong but it is the same theory as double under hooks.

18

I find your lack of effort disappointing.

Your own centerline- runs down the middle of your body, all the goodies are there i.e. eyes, nose, chin, throat, solar plexus, and bladder, groin ect. Protect this area at all cost. Second tidbit is to keep this area under your control so you can move it at will and keep your arms operating freely.

The opponents center- same as yours but on him. Hit his targets. Second is control. shut his center down (keeps his arms under control or pinned), exploit his center (open him up) or turn his center away from you so you have an advantage.

Center line- The straight line distance between you and your opponent (point A to B). Regardless of how you and or your opponent faces often use this line to attack and to shut down his attacks.

That’s almost word for word how it was described to me.

Granted, firing off an original wing chun trollfest here is a daunting proposition.:5badair:
