Wong Long Wing Chun Head Quarters USA

Here’s an easy drill for kids For blocking a hook punch.... Use an open palm (so the kids won’t get hurt) and swing a hook. Aim towards the back of the head like you’re trying to grab the neck. You should also apply enough pressure so it simulates a real hook punch. This drill keeps the kids safe while giving them realistic pressure and attack to train against. Hope this helps! #wingchun #wonglong #wonglongwingchun

Practicing blocks: make sure you practice blocking punches. Wing Chun can not be used far away, so you must step in. While stepping in your enemy will punch you so you must learn and practice a lot of blocking. Once blocking is good, counter attacks should be the focus. #wingchun #wonglongwingchun

Defense while bridging (closing the distance). Wing Chun is a short ranged fighting style. You must practice your defense as you step in. It is very dangerous walking in to punches if the defense is bad. Once the distance is closed, Wing Chun attacks and counters can be used effectively to pressure and hit the opponent. To train this, start slow and increase resistance, speed, variation, and power as you get better and better.

Wing Chun Wooden Dummy Training Tips: the wooden dummy is used as a tool to practice attacking and defending. Tip 1) look at the face or top of the dummy, not at the hands, 2) apply forward pressure (or force) not sideways, and not hitting just arms. Aim directly towards the body. 3) practice with proper form and intent, do not just practice randomly and be sloppy. The arms of the dummy is positioned to improve your attacking and defending form/ technique. #wingchun #wonglongwingchun #wingchundaily

Good Chi Sao starts with proper position of the Bong Sao and Tan Sao (Left hand in video), and the Fook Sao and Ding Sau (right hand in video). Knowing proper position should allow practitioners to feel openings (instead of only creating openings). This is useful in fighting when the opponent block your punches, you can feel the opening of the opponent’s defense and strike by relying on the sense of feel. Once good position is practiced, simple attacks and defenses are introduced. The higher the chi sao skill level, the easier it is to dominate in the close range. #wingchun #boy #wonglongwingchun
