WC Punch

[JPinAZ]

You guys realise how fast punches come right? I dont think crossing over your whole body to reach something on the other side of your body is efficient. Kind of confused that Ip man would even recommend that.

Agreed - and 'efficiency' is the key.
AS far as if Ip Man recommended that or not matters little. The concepts/principles of the system will show us what is most efficient, not some story about who said what regarding a 'technique' over 50 years ago.

This clip will meet your requirement.

- He moves in with a "boxing guard" similar to WC double Tan Shou.
- His opponent throws a right hook at him.
- He use left WC Tan Shou to block and wrap it,
- uses his right Tan Shou to deal with his opponent's left hook.
- move into his opponent's "front door" between both arms,
- use his left arm to lock on his opponent's head, and
- right uppercut at his opponent.

His opponent's hook punches didn't look that fast in this clip at all. Why? Because he moves in and squeeze the space instead of move back.

Also his left arm has plenty of time to wrap around his opponent's head before he throws that "uppercut".

That's not showing the strategy of defending a right hook with a right tan Sao, then transitioning to a guillotene which you suggested earlier in the thread. The clip shows a couple of Thai boxers, nothing wrong with the strategy the guy employs, cover and clinch. I would consider the hand movement he used to defend the hook was more of a thrusting (biu) hand than tan though.

That's not showing the strategy of defending a right hook with a right tan Sao, then transitioning to a guillotene which you suggested earlier in the thread.

For the sake of the discussion, let's see if you think the following is possible.

- Your opponent right hooks at your head, you use right Tang Shou to block it. Your opponent throw left hook at your head.
- You step in your left foot, spin your right foot behind your left foot, and move your body away from his left hand.
- You move your right hand on your opponent's neck, pull his neck and spin his body to your right.
- ...

I disagree. It depends on your purpose - so the punch of Wing Chun can use different concepts. There are many different kind of punches in Wing Chun, but all follow specific concepts. This is a perfect explanation of how to PUNCH, instead of using silly chain punches. (As also why Wing Chun people cannot punch).
