Wing Chun Kuen – “2nd hour” training regimen notes

jkk — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 16:32:38 +0000

Sil Nim Tao should be fully learned by this stage. Focus should now be on placement, stance and energy. The opening section up until the end of the sam pai fut (three palms to buddha) should be performed slowly as a method of chi generation. Energy generated in section one should be expended through fa jing following this point, starting with the first bok jarn / gum sao until the final three punches in the form.

Self Defense – Knife Drills

Continuing under the premise that students may not stick with Wing Chun, “self defense” techniques which can translate to real life scenarios and be learned easily are still being taught at this stage.

Inside slash (follow through counter, pull back, high, low)
Back slash (high, low)
Downward stab
Stomach stab
Kidney stab

*** I didn’t write down the sequences for these techniques. I’ll need to work through each one and try to remember the correct responses.

Footwork:

Oy Seen Wai – Open stepping pattern with the forward leg furthest from opponent, direction is up to about 45 degrees of centerline. Direction is often shifted towards the opponent as a subsequent move. Can be used to intercept attacks and better position oneself closer to the attacker as well as avoid incoming attacks. Yang arc technique.

Noy Seen Wai – Closed stepping pattern with forward leg closest to opponent, stepping across the centerline. Typically the man sao (lead hand) is opposite from the forward leg, but this is not always the case. Most often used to intercept an attack and come to the inside of an opponents attack line.

Seet Ma (light/heavy leg)

“light leg” seet ma – from hao ma facing the opponent, forward leg moves out to about 45 degrees of centerline. Rear leg arcs in coming next to the lead foot. Weight is transferred to lead foot and the angle is again reversed towards the opponent and the forward leg becomes the rear leg. Used to avoid attacks from various locations and attain a better attack angle.
“heavy leg” seet ma – from hao ma facing the opponent. Pushing towards the open side of your stance with your front leg, the rear leg steps away from the centerline at 90 degrees. Upon settling, direction is shifted 45 degrees towards closed side of stance, changing the direction of your centerline. This is used to change the angle of attack on an incoming opponent without losing ground. Typically the opponent’s side will be exposed if executed properly and in the right scenario.

Seung Ma (double step) – Used to advance quickly upon a retreating or distant opponent when doing so does not compromise one’s position. Front foot steps as if doing a seet ma (long flat walk?) and upon making contact with the ground, shifts angle from inner 45 to outer 45 degrees (a change of 90 degrees). Weight is then transferred and the front leg becomes the back as the former rear leg now shoots to the forward position into the hao ma position once again.

Toi Ma (sweeping/arcing backstep) – Used to retreat and repostion without changing direction or even forward intent. Front leg sweeps around in an arc and repositions as the rear leg, shifting accordingly.

Drill: Oi Mun Choy (outer arm blocking punch) against opponent’s punches using Oy/Noy Seen Wai
Kicks with Stepping:

Step wth the four primary kicks:

tai gurk
dim gurk
jeet gurk
fung gurk

Hand Drills

tan da with yan chun - tan punch against a hook, tan hand flips over to become a yan chun (open palm strike, fingers straight up).
tan sao, yu dai chun, pai jarn - tan sao against a straight punch, slides down over punch to become lower palm strike (yu dai chun) to naval/dan tien/bladder, arm folds and rising elbow (pai jarn) strikes chin.
pak da, biu sao – pak punch. wu sao strikes forward to eyes/throat/soft spot with biu sao.
jum sao, jik kuen – jum sao against lower straight punch, turns into a responding straight punch to torso.
gan da, tai kuen — gan da against an upper cut, gan hand turns into a rising punch

Front hand, rear hand response Drill *can’t remember exactly what this is, i’m going to consult my old classmates to confirm my thoughts.

Dan Chi Sao – single hand chi sao, no stepping. Simply learn mechanical response to the basics. Opponent starts in tan sao, Exponent in fook sao. Opponent strikes with straight punch, Exponent response with jam sao. Exponent strikes with straight punch, opponent response with bong sao.

Theory: double yang arc (2 movements on same side of arc)

Bong Lop Da with Chuen Ma (stance turning), returning energy (striking with arm you’re centering towards)

Pak sao – biu sao with stance turning and returning to center punch.

Lop Sao Drill

guat sao (bowl scraping block) — done from punch after the lop sao.
tan sao response — from bong, arm turns into tan sao after opponent strikes and rear arm turns into a punch.

Ground Fighting (di tong):

double leg take down – going down with knees together.
chain punching/elbows/kicking
ground “ready” position”
rotating and moving around
switching legs
heel / knee trap
roundhouse response to knee grab
getting back up
defense against the headlock to ground

Palm Energy with Yan Chun drill (palm flat, palm edge, palm heel)

Ankle/Leg Lock Counters (counter with Toy Ma, Pak Da, Jik Gerk, Toh Ma, Lin Wan

Kuen)

Seung Gan vs Seung Gan drill — focus on snap and forward intent of both gan sao.

Counter to Roundhouse Kick

toh ma with double gan sao
seet ma with double gan sao

Static Defense

jik gurk versus side kick
dim gurk vs. roundhouse kick
dim gurk vs. spinning kick
sae mun vs. various punches

Seet Ma Drills

respond to attacker stepping out and throwing a roundhouse punch
defender response with seet ma, turning into the attacker and using chain punches

Oi Seen Wai / Noi Seen Wai Drills – drill to teach various methods of interception lines.

attack stands with YCKYM and throws single punches
defender response with oi seen wai then alternately, noi seen wai.

Drills

Boxer’s Crouch drill (punches, roundhouse/turning kick…)

Cau Sao to Bong Lop

Knife Kick Punch Grab drill — Opponent attacks with knife, neutralize and stay ready for a kick form the opponent. Defend from kick then be ready for another attack, typically a punch. Defend against that. Opponent grabs, use level 1 self defense techniques to get out and “finish” the opponent so you can get away.

Self Defense drills, follow up with Lin Wan Kuen (chain punching)

After these skills and the prior skills had been satisfactorily learned, a student was allowed to participate in “second hour” classes. It ensured that more complex techniques were done with basic understanding of position, geometry and grounding. “With no feet you have no hands.”
