Wonderful work Martial Man! I'd love for you to invite him back and talk to him about demonstrating the Tian Zhaolin forms of taijiquan, it's applications and internal power. Including the 64 posture Xiao Jia of Yang Shao Hou. I appreciate all you do!
Sifu Sergio is the type of martial artist I desire to be, forever seeking knowledge, respectful to the past and looking to the future. Thank you for this. Respect

Sifu Sergio is definititely the hope of wing chun. Very intelligent honest transparent and thorough. But most of all extremely skilled and talented.
Very good. Same principle as systema. Great teacher. I wish I could attend one of his seminars.

Sifu Sergio is a great teacher and very passionate about martial arts.
Those hook punches make me think of the Systema masters. They punch like that a lot.
awesome this video has helped me deal with stress in daily life by detaching myself by practising and listening to your theory thank you
Thank you so much. I now have a far greater and deeper understanding, that really helps me understand the system.
was enjoyable and understandably taught . .glad to know of solid principles that justify themselves tested against time and study..praying for the emergence of a sudden work respect for the art.
Well explained. Thank you Sifu Sergio
My master explained the concepts brilliantly but this is an other level above that. It's truly inspiring.
A lot of logic and control of energy behind Sifu Sergio concepts. I love his way of thinking.
He has lots of pictures of grandmasters. That's cool. But then also has a lovely great big picture of himself up there too. Modest.

I was lucky to find a teacher who also understands gin (although we don't call it like that). there are some wing chun practicioners who unfortunately fail to see it und use lik. "we are detached from what other styles are looking for" - and this is why I'm... sceptical about other martial arts since i started with wing chun.

Sifu Sergio is the best martial artist practicioner of his own art IWKA wing chun, that he made up himself, that is not like any other kind of wing chun, because he made it up, so he couldn't be critised by other wing chun practicioners, due to ignorance of the art he created for himself and those gullible enough to follow blindly.

Also the concept at 17:34 to strike without retraction and applications at 19:27 its all Systema!

It is well known that Sergio studied Systema in Hong Kong for several years. His teacher is still there. He is using systema and selling it off as Wing Chun. Wake up people.
That punch is no joke
He is using the ground all the time, mans not floating
not sure that the snake engine discribed in his stuff is seperate, i have seen this in other people, but not many :) Sigong Chu Shong Tin knew it,, though Chu Shong Tin discribes Nim Lik as 'mind force' and he could certianly do it, i think it is in the system, it just isnt taught. and in the west, all the deeper stuff is left out for some unknown reason. i guess we just dont have the master's that are willing to teach this stuff. Its great that Sifu Sergio would teach others the snake engine :-)

I think meditation is the key to unlocking our potential, i think the more calm we are, the more we are able to sense and observe, and this gives us an edge, i think it takes alot of stretching to open joints and nerve/blood pathways, and once we are supple and our joints are open, we can meditate deeply and this allows our minds to flow. There are many stories of people meditating and after meditation practice, they are able to do beutifull poetry or some other feat, yet they may be illiterate, I think this is how the stuff will constantly be re-invented, and refined and redefined

I can agree with most you've said , but also one must participate in the functions they are trying to acheive as well. Understanding ones own body help the participant to know what to do or not do in certain situations. When ever we see Shaolin Monks perform certain tasks they are in that state of meditation frame of mind while performing those tasks. The monks had not only trained their minds but also their bodies as well to be able to do those type of things which is the foundation of many martial arts especially any style of kung fu style. Then lastly we all must remember physical participation its what helped Shaolin and other kung fu styles become what they are today thanks to the father of Shaolin Kung Fu Bodhiharma.

You haven't seen any other then, I suppose.
Awesome wing chun but I sadly disagree that we need the floor more than what the video is about. Through out the video Sergio says that wing chun power comes from the heart. Each limb and tendon draws power yes. But through out the video I see him settling his balance. If you watch careful every strike he lowers his centre of gravity. He is using the floor with out noticing it. If i push him and he lowers his centre of gravivity i cannot push him but if he stands up on his toes i will push him off.
Numer one
Iadarola ,nel esempio del pugno che colpisci il pao (dove fai capire che se lo tiri più rilassato l'energia viene trasmessa meglio all'avversario)...però ....c'è un ma....ma uno dei primi principi del Wing Chun e che qualsiasi colpo tu tiri , non viene mai caricato come nella box,ma le mani partono dalla posizione in cui si trovano (immagino che te Iadarola stavi facendo vedere solo un esempio ).....almeno é quello che so ed e quello che avvantaggia il Wing Chun ....però so anche che la potenza del pugno non cambia (c'è, se devo tirare 200 pugni a catena per buttare una persona giù mi sa che devo cercami una altro buon maestro di Wing Chun ) ....
great content, not totally agree though, will visit u soon:)
Yes, let's take out the most efficient part of WC (straight line attacks) and swap them out for a bunch of telegraphed, circular movements. A smaller person will have trouble generating sufficient knock out power with these whipping style movements and they also promote hand chasing. If it's not broke, don't fix it.
@ImperialStoneDragon
7 жыл бұрын
i think he didn't forget the centerline (he actually mentions it at 19:55 or something), he just used the circular motion as an example where you are already in some chi sao situation. look from 19:25. also, you can still whip in a straight line, don't forget, that it's the elbow which moves in the line, not the wrist! he also mentioned at the beginning that the fist comes (in an ideal situation) from the heart = straight line. also he uses only existing theory without trying to reinvent it, ergo there is no fix.
@spawn314159
7 жыл бұрын
all your joints are circular, and 'striaght line' means from fist to target, regardless of where fist is... he goes deeper than a basic punch in that you have to have controll systems and punch... he's good at the controll systems and gate usage :) so yes, straight line is best, but may not provide the best solution. often its down to what u do after the strike :) or in the setup of the strike.... another aspect is that when you train movements, u have to train them all in their max ranges, and then when you use them, you use them in the most minimalistic way, this build your mentality for the big stance and the big motions, but you do the small motions physicaly, this also has the effect of building the correct mentality for the small refined motions... eventualy the internalised method may be circular, and the actual implementation of it being 'direct' u may not be able to see the movements as they become refined.

cyanide when you attempt to control your opponent's hands at the expense of striking him-you are chasing his hands and making yourself a target. Wing Chun only works at the bent-elbow range-that is the max range. Using the hand that's already in place is a primary WC idea, but he's taking the missed punch and then trying to use it to disrupt the opponent's balance by punching his hip and shoulder (an idea he likely got from Systema). The primary of idea WC is to create a chained attack to the head or neck of your opponent until he is incapacitated. Integrating these these superfluous actions into WC complete undermines its effectiveness.

well, chain punch fast doesnt really work in a proper fight, the idea of it is nice, but it works well if u climb, or fall, so u can do little combos with it, like, punch guard with jab, then lower liver shot, then climb up for head/chest/neck shot,... but throwing these punches fast and accurate,.. it just doesnt happen, far superior to use it to sink opponents bridge and adjust position
Ouch.
Seems similar to systema.

people seriously need to watch the video closely. dont be fooled. when Sergio does demos showing how the power is the same at short distance vs normal distance is a joke. starting off at short distance and then winding back (the same as the normal distance punch) does not count as getting power at short distance. if you want to demo how powerful u are at short distance, then strike at the close up position rather than winding up. anyone that cannot see this is a fool

thanks! finally someone who is not so overenthusiastic!
Sifu thanks for your videos, i find them inspiring. I have a question about this way to hit: how it works when you throw your punch and it finds something on his way, as an harm parry? can u change the technic suddenly, like a direct punch becoming an hook to go over the parry? i train wing chun and that is something i am starting to learn, but i can do it only if my punch starts from the feet, so moving the leg behind the punch i can let it change direction on the way. I hope to have been clear, sorry for my english!

A real shame no one else teach like this.then there would be no bad communication against real wc
''(...) is coming with a baseball bat smashing my knee or my ankle (...)'' - 6:00 First off, don't let it come that far, if there are more guys and they have weapons, ESCAPE should be your priority and not victory. So don't stand there, move around! Secondly, is someone smashes your knee or ankle with a baseball bat and you're already fighting more than one guy, you're done for. Unless you're a movie star and you're in a martial arts flick. But cool story about detachment and Chan/Zen and stuff to mix that in with martial arts. I'm sure lots of potential buyers, especially those seeking the mystical asian wisdom, will be interested.
It's not true to say there's no wind up... There is plenty of windup. For the closer range punches you can clearly see with your own eyes he winds back quickly before launching a punch. Don't get me wrong, the punches are great and powerful, but to say the punches are the same power at different distances is not true. The starting range is different, but he winds back on the close range punches to deliver the SAME power Great video but
That's bad aash. the kempo can use this changing of power source.

Just a bit of fact: if you hit for 3% at arms length and then hit for 3% at an inch that is possible for anyone. For instance any one can flick you with a finger at any range, Master Sergio's claims would only be illustrated if he was showing 100% at all ranges as only then could you determine a drop off over range or a consistency. If you not going to use a critical and analytical mind you are just feeding people bullshit and this needs to be appreciated by masters and sifus also, if they cannot illustrate intelligently, then we have to call their actual skill into question.
atleast he makes money out of it... this aint no ving tsun, i havent seen any chi sao of yours in this video and i dont understand the thing about engine cause ving tsun is about body mechanics, its not tai chi or systema... so many frauds out there, if you think you are good than go to germany and do some chi sao with phillip bayer i think he will teach you some lessons, maybe its not too late for you. no hating...

personally I have lots of respwct for sifu Sergio, he really study deep in wing chun system and travel all over china to met the old masters, he's at a very high level of Wing Chun kung fu. Sifu Baker is good too, he's a student of Leung chun Leng ( Ip Man student) but I don't think Sifu Baker really get into the "chi" part very much. that's the way I see it, no offense.
Wing Chun, an effective style but a bad one! Any style that forces you to seek elsewhere means it is not complete, therefore, bad! Wing Chun uses a orthodox boxing stance and has limitations to executing Wing Chun, which is a flaw in the system. This is why you see even the most reputable of Wing Chun masters tell you that "Wing Chun is used to bridge the gap after that you use your kickboxing or whatever" (GM Samuel Kwok), this essentially tells you that the flaws of Wing Chun cripple the style to the point of "use what's useful, discard what's not", which is why EVEN Bruce Lee had to recreate his Wing Chun into Jeet Kune Do and then Lee started adding stuff from fencing, boxing and so forth. This all boils down to 1 simple reason, the system that is being taught is not the full version of Wing Chun and therefore what is being taught doesn't have the answers and just turns to "Wing Chun is used to bridge the gap after that you use your kickboxing or whatever" (GM Samuel Kwok). This then leads people to think ok well Wing Chun isn't all that effective I will go learn MMA or Jeet Kune Do. Sorry, but its 100% fact This doesn't mean Wing Chun is bad don't learn it.. this means that someone with the right level of knowledge (Sifu Sergio) should address this problem so that Wing Chun does become a complete system again so practitioners do not have to seek elsewhere

I'd be interested in hearing a reply from someone with in-depth knowledge & years of practice of wing chung. And the statement "Wing Chun is used to bridge the gap after that you use your kickboxing or whatever." I have my doubts you are interpreting it correctly. To me it means Wing Chung is your close-quarters go-to. It's more a reference to its strengths. And when you would use it. If you're interpreting it that way then many martials have their limitations & specific contexts where they won't be as effective as another martial art.

@@fasteddylove-muffin6415 You're 100% correct that all martial arts have their limitations, couldn't have been a better answer. The term bridge the gap is essentially an inside way of saying that Wing Chun is a short-strike art. If you want evidence about the "use your kickboxing or whatever", you can see this in GM Samuel Kwok's videos, hence why I used it as a reference. Why is it not complete might be your question, that is because Wing Chun doesn't match up with todays sports and science, as well as it does not have the tools to stand against the majority of martial arts styles as modern Wing Chun has no handling of momentum. Further more it doesn't have the tools to deal with anything other than straight forward attacks at head height (generalizing), the Tan, Bong, fook is not going to deal with the momentum of someone who really wants to take your head off (look at Xu Xiao Dong for competition aspects, that isn't even in the streets). In Bruce Lee's terms, "a classical mess". Today's Wing Chun is best said as mid-range strike, where actually Wing Chun is a short-strike art based on the Emei and White crane. Many instructors have adapted their lineages to make them more practical and shorter so that students will stick around to learn it, inevitably it loses a lot of important stuff. Wing Chun instructors haven't been fighting with Wing Chun since HK roof tops so many instructors these days have never had any real fighting experience. Let's go on a tangent and mention Geoff Thompson for example, most instructors do not have the experience he has. Anyway I could debate this for ages so I will leave it here.
