¢. Tail bone tucks in, feel you have put more body on the knees.
d. Chest relax and slightly cave in.
e. Arms remain natural. Don't open or close up the arm pit.
§ Head remains natural look at the medium range,
2. Balance (Base and triangle):
4a. After open the stance, check if the body is symetrical. The center line is there.
b. The stance forms a triangle to support the diaphragm (Dan-Ting).
© Clap your hands with arms extend. This forms 2nd triangle with the shoulder is the base,
4. In this stance, weight distribution is 50/50. Lower body feels more heavier than upper body.
(like pour concrete foundation vs wood frame),
«. Shoulders sit back on body, never extend them or raise them.
J Elbows pull behind the trunk while not using. Keeping one fist space from trunk while using.
3. Building Energy (sof thew hard
a. Relax the muscles will relax your mind.
b. Lower stance makes upper body more relax.
¢. Relaxed muscles make hands have faster reflex and striking strenght.
d. 1st Section - soft and slow, help to build energy (feel the tingling on palm).
f.2nd Section - Releasing energy.
§ 3rd Section - Build more and release more.
4, Coordination Works hand in hand with Balance):
4, Coordination improved while you relax.
b, Emphasize coordination on wrist and elbow, isolation the shoulder in relax position.
¢. Althought power is straight, movement is curve.
4, Don't over commint, don’t under commint.In order to rum a safe class, all techniques must be executed with control and respect.
Below are 15 guidelines for you to follow:
1. Follow Sifu’s or a Sihing’s instruction at all times.
2. Itis your responsibility to bring and use your own safety equipment for every
class, which includes protective cups, mouthguards, helmets, MMA gloves, knee
pads, shin guards and focus mitts.
3. Hf you don’t have a partner, observe the training until it is your tum.
4. Do not deviate from an assignment and randomly engage in impromptu training.
5. All ground grappling, must be on mat with 3-foot clearance of a wall, never on the
bare floor.
6. Do not grapple or spar without Sifu or a Sihing present to observe.
7. Alltakedowns and sweeps must be executed with control, Do not slam your
opponent onto the ground.
8. No swift submissions — always allow your partner to have enough time to
physically and/or verbally tapout.
9. No small joint locks or manipulation.
10. Strikes must be delivered with controlled power, Power without control is
nothing.
11. All strikes must keep a 3-inch distance from your partner.
12, Strikes and targets are: fist on body, Fat Sao on the side of neck, palm on the side
of jaw, and elbow on the shoulder. No finger jabs are allowed (unless goggles are
‘wom by both partners),
13. All strikes must avoid vulnerable areas like eye, nose, mouth, Adam’s apple, ear,
and groin (unless helmets, throat guards, and protective cups are worn).
14. Striking with ground grappling must be executed with control.
15. No kicking to the head.
Learning opportunities:
1. After you defeat your partner, you must take the time and explain how that technique
‘was done and allow him try it on you. Emphasize that this is not about “winning”, but
learning.
2. Ifa partner uses too much power and not enough control, fell them. Have a discussion
about “percentages of power”, which can be trained with a focus mitt on the chest and
increments of 10% power.
3. Do not be impatient if you do not have a partner. While observing the technique, think
about how you can apply it, or even improve it.
4. Try practicing self-defense, not offense. Relax, flow, and watch opportunities open,
Rushing is for football, not Wing Chun,
5. If you don’t understand, ask. If you know the answer, teach.HOW TO JOIN SIFU CHOW'S WING CHUN CLASS
