FELA,

I wouldn’t call the facing concept “high level”, its more of the basics that JIn is didcussing in this vid, as well as his other vids IMO, but in the end everything is basics, there are no really advanced things, it is more along the lines of combining things together, this basic concept with another, like using heavy elbow with anchoring & shovel concept.. The thing is not too many people in the WC world are talking about these things because maybe they don’t understand it. I never really heard of the the term “facing” until I started learning WSL VT, I came from William Cheung line before that, they have a facing concept but it is incomplete and half body, once I learned it correctly it changed everything.

Like the other folks said, GREAT “putting it all together” drill. We do a variation of this one all the time in class and it really helps to iron out all the principles into application. I think I’m gonna try it this way next time.

Setting the nail! Thanks for the reminder, Jin. That’s something I still have to consciously work on and it gets me into trouble. I would also add the back and forth of letting your partner do their thing, then you respond, then they go, etc., is a great first step in learning how to stay calm in a situation.

Hope ya feel better, Jin. Rest up, eh?

Exercise reminds me a lot on the “Lat Sao Programm” of the Wing Tsun guys…

Good Video…!!!
Take care and peace to you…!!!

Another very good “Break Down” or ” Conceptual Application” video. I practice alone with my wooden dummy for now and the break down is really missing in the books and vids I’ve read and seen. So this and your other “Break Down” vids are providing the “moving” mental images I needed to better understand the moves since I don’t have an active partner to “play” with.
