Get off the line. In a self-defense fight, as opposed to sport combat, you aren’t likely to face a mobile counter puncher. Instead, you’re likely to see a highly aggressive rush. Instead that case, if you can’t stop hit, learning to move off the line is very important. Don’t stand right in front of the enemy and trade and don’t back straight up. Doing either of those is like running red lights…you can get away with it but it isn’t a good idea.

Ip Man Wooden Dummy Section 7 #wingchun #woodendummy #mookjong #vingtsun #ipmanwingchun #edmundfong

Short | 2 months ago

The Mook Jong is one of our favorite things about Wing Chun. It’s not only essential for developing close-range footwork and technique for self-defense, but it’s also, let’s admit it, loads of fun too. There’s nothing else like it. It’s unique. And the only...

The Truth About Centerline: Don't Make This Mistake #wingchun #vingtsun #jkd #jeetkunedo #ipman

Short | 2 months ago

Everyone in Wing Chun knows about the centerline. But vagueness is the enemy of truth and skill. The truth is that centerline is a means to an end and not the goal itself. The idea is to control the center and attack the vulnerable targets located along it....

The Forgotten Skill of Parrying #jeetkunedo #jkd #bruceleestyle #wingchun #vingtsun #selfdefense

Short | 2 months ago

The parry is almost a lost art due to the prevalence of the boxing glove. But without gloves and padding it’s not a good idea to use the back of your hand to block punches. That’s why JKD, like old school boxing, uses the parry. For more info on Jeet Kune D...

Why Do Chi-Sao #wingchun #vingtsun #jeetkunedo #jkd #ipman #kungfu #selfdefensetraining #brucelee

Short | 2 months ago

Chi-sao looks weird. We get that. Especially in this day and age of MMA and people thinking that unless it happens in the UFC it can’t possibly work. This is, of course, a fallacy. But still, the question begs: what are we really doing in chi-sao? Simply pu...

Jeet Kune Do Defense: the Parry #jkd #jeetkunedo #wingchun #selfdefense #bruceleestyle #vingtsun

Short | 2 months ago

The big idea in Jeet Kune Do is to intercept the attack with one of our own. That’s the ideal. But it’s not always possible because the enemy isn’t going to be cooperating. He could be much taller than you. Or his timing throws you off. Something like that....

What is Chi Sao & Why You Should Do It

Video | 3 months ago

What is Chi-Sao? What's the point? It's an important question and if we don't get the answer right we end up messing up Wing Chun completely because it's a central part of it. Ip Ching called it the glue. Okay, so first, at close-range we need to learn to s...

The Best Self-Defense Tool: the Knife #jkd #wingchun #selfdefense #knifeskills #knifeforselfdefense

Short | 3 months ago

As a recent high profile case showed us all, and graphically, how dangerous a tactical folding knife is. Instead of getting wrapped up in all the politics of the case, we should all heed the biggest lesson and that is on the utility of the blade. Movies and...

Lessons from the Karmelo Anthony Case #selfdefense #mythbusting #selfdefenselaw #jkd #wingchun

Short | 3 months ago

The Karmelo Anthony trial in the news you’re likely to hear some really bad, even stupid, ideas. One of them is from delusional martial artists saying, “I’d rather be tried by 12 than carried by six.” That’s got the appearance of wisdom when, in fact, it’s ...

Pre-Fight Mastery: the Two-Exit Rule #jeetkunedo #jkd #wingchun #selfdefense #vingtsun #ipman

Guide | 3 months ago

Sifu Tony discusses the Two-Exit principle of pre-fight deescalation. Sure, this isn’t as sexy as showing how to take out the bad guy with a flurry of cool techniques, but you win every fight you don’t get in, right? And more still, we need to understand th...
