you want to find a balance between relaxing and strength. But you learn to use your stance and body weight as strength, never your shoulder and arms. It is very difficult. This can be explained to anyone, and a master can display it, but it takes YEARS for a student to "Get it". This is why Wing Chun is both made fun of heavily by outsiders, because they don't "GET IT" and yet also why Wing Chun is devestating.

So profound Tony! Watched these three endless times and never gets old. Always something new. So much utter baloney about the art on KZread, thanks IWCA for spending the bucks to create these vids.

usually I dislike people who talk to much while teaching, I get bored and drift off, even more so in person, but you sir have a gift! great work. thanks for sharing

Thank you for being willing to share your great knowledge and for helping to keep martial arts alive and well! Excellent!

Thank you very much! I think for the first time I really understood the principle of the effortless force or power in a physical way. It is amazing how everything relates to each other. I first experienced this principle in zen meditation and it is actually the natural and most "effective" state of being. Thank you for these insights. Peace.

The simplicity of body mechanics that anyone can do is fantastic & it's fun like a game...

I believe in the same principals, concepts & application which I teach at the Tucson Academy of Wing Chun in Tucson, Arizona, USA.

Great video with a great insight.Many thanks.

I believe siu nim tao is a training to make your body to get used to relaxation. so when you are already mastering it, you dont need to think to break opponent's structure

thank you! superbly done

I'm starting my wing chun classes in 2 days, I don't understand this 3 parts series like...AT ALL, I just don't get how powerful and yet relaxed his moves are....it just seems amazing haha great stuff

how important is setting or projecting mental "intention" when applying these concepts?

I´m doing Wing Tsun(thats how it´s called in germany)and this is freaking difficult...in Lat Sao my friend always tolds me to be relaxed...I´m trying this and it works..but only until the next punch...he is relaxed and I´m almost flying if he hits my chest trough a Pak Sao or all this stuff...so strange:D

Poor Anthony!

@MarcoArsenault How is your wing chun now?

Good info and agree on the relaxation and attack his tension, however -> the energy and intent is not going forward but towards his arm in these examples. Nothing really threatens the center line at the first movement. Are the examples just to show the impact on tension only, or do you really use two movements to accomplish a one movement job?

Erlend Kristensen I can assure you Tony was focused on Anthony’s mind. I have trained with Tony plenty of times. It is a very bazaar feeling. You know he has contacted your arms, but you feel your spine and body moving. In your mind, you are thinking wtf is happening to me.

I'm studying wing chun as well this looks and sounds very simple but this will take years to master...being relaxed in a fight is really difficult.

I want the force

i would love to see this in real life.

ohhh

You can - but it will be very difficult - simply because wing chun is a feeling art. Worse than reading is having a teacher with wrong understanding. I would strongly suggest you find a qualified teacher by not looking at his talk only, but also his actions and ask your self: would this guy be able to actually cope with multiple and armed attackers with the intent of killing him. At the end of the day wing is about self defense and not theory only.

the guy in black seems pissed off. suck it up, fall boy.

VixtoryQ I trained with both of these guys for many years. The guy in black - Anthony - is not pissed off. It’s just very disorienting when Tony moves you around and transfers his mass into you like he does. Notwithstanding how he looks, Anthony would be enjoying what Tony was demonstrating on him.

u always send him away
