Question was loaded in the sense that I try to comment on the wing chun I see only. Not the person in the video. I try not to get personal. I understand your point and probably agree but it's hard to know what is going on before and after.

Or maybe they were both jerks LoL
Thats true.
State your reasons. If they start with:
A)I have seen many clips of him...
B)I was told by a friend of mine....
c)I read in a book that...
D)In my opinion, he...
Those reasons are simply put, bullocks.
Heres a bit of homework for you:
The trick works!
The trick doesnt work when its tested...
The trick is shown as a trick.

Also possible. But after seeing how Moore tried profusely to apologize after he smacked that shaolin guy at the temple celebration and even took a few hits to help him save face, he doesn't strike me as a bad dude.
Then again, we all have our days... lol
So you're saying its all the power of suggestion and that since they expect to be hit they feel like they are hit?

yeah i checked out some of his other things , he doesn't seem like a bad dude.
Its exactly what im saying. Lots of people have been put to the test on this type of things...works like a charm with their own students, but it never works on outsiders or strangers. Psychology is amazing, isnt it?
Ok i've seen the videos and you haven't explained one thing , rather your videos haven't , they don't disprove the existence of Chi , cultivated through meditation as an example i can tell you that half of china uses certain chi techniques to heal certain diseases ... well ... do you mean to say chi doesn't exhist? that its all in our heads?

I do not know what to say after seeing this. Absolutely amazing. I am able to generate a lot of heat into the center of my hand but thats about it. His chi is amazing.

I dont remember talking about chi at all, read again. =)
Haha don't cop out , thats exactly my point , your videos don't explain chi , derren brown is pretty good at putting on a show , but my initial theory still stands at one focal point i believe that dondrup dorje was using his chi rather than the power of suggestion as opposed to derren brown.
I'm not sure what any of these "displays" have to do with the OP ...or with WC/WT/VT. The WC I learned is very down-to-earth and practical. The techniques could be explained equally well using a traditional Chinese approach or a modern Western approach. The essential part is that they work. Forget the magic tricks already!
you're probably right.
Well that's quite amazing too!

I think it certainly has a play in Wing Chun. Mastering the art (if it is such a thing) is one thing but mastering yourself is another. Imagine how one could increase their effectiveness in every movement, deflection, application of wing chun if you could tap into yourself in this fashion. You could deflect an attack and shock your opponent upon touching him or hit him and displace energy throughout his entire body from one hit. Granted this would have to be done very quickly but my point is, if learned it could help one's wing chun making it that much more effective.
I have experience with that all the time as millions of people had ... it's call inflammation caused by arthritis.

lol... I have that too (maybe) go figure.
It's all good, we all appreciate people with an sense of humor. Now if we can get back on track with OP's subject.
