Wing Chun Structure, Rooting, and Force

reply to post #39 just above:

I don't think Benny trained in judo, at least not up to his early professional fighting career (well, I never saw him do it, though his early sensei also trained in judo so maybe he did a little). His mom was a professional wrestler, and a similar move is used in that sport. I saw him do a flying mid-body scissor takedown on one of my solidly built students as easy as pie. Benny was a born fighter, and I mean that literally, starting as a very young kid and thru his school years - both sport and street. His entire family (parents, brothers, cousins) were fighters of one kind or another. He was a natural MMA fighter before there was such a thing.

He was amazing. My Sifu knew him as did my Sigung because their school was in Hollywood and they both worked as stuntmen and actors.
