Day One of Project San Shou

In my humble opinion Wing Chun is a very special martial art that focuses on fighting for a self defence context. Being tired of the criticism levelled against the style of fighting that I hold true to my heart, I started an experiment to prove that the skills of Wing Chun can be transferred to any other environment of fighting.

Of course, we’ve had to make adaptations to our training and approach to fighting, but to fight in the ring you have to utilise universal fighting methods. Effectively, I’ve taken ordinary Wing Chun students and instructed them in a range of skills that require timing, distance judgement and true fighting spirit. Over a period of time they’ve learnt to kick, punch and wrestle like any other fighter, but with one difference they’ve kept the concepts of Wing Chun in the forefront of their minds.

The concept of this experiment is simple: all martial arts must have a common variable to function effectively. If we train and prepare these variables, then any Martial Art is comparable to each other.

I hope over the period of time that you’ll find this Blog informative enough to follow our progression to the final destination. We’ll share our highs and lows, good techniques, what’s worked, what hasn’t, and more importantly our eventual success in competition format.

You’ll follow the progress of Student A in his own words, and I will drop in from time to time to share my experiences on coaching Wing Chun fighters for a whole new world of combat.

So here goes the journey of a Wing Chun Fighter…

STOP Boxing Combinations Instantly with Wing Chun Interception Kicks



http://www.londonwingchun.co.uk/kickboxing-north-london ► Wing Chun Techniques. How to use a Wing Chun interception kick against a Jab, Cross, Over hand boxing combination. Known in Wing Chun as the "Cross Stamp Kick" this technique is useful for San Shou (San Da) Kickboxing and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) training.

In this video we introduce the idea of intercepting with punches by using the length of your legs to keep the attacker away. These Wing Chun techniques can be used in Self Defence or even in Combat Sports. These kicks are often refered to as knee stomps or oblique kicks in MMA. In fact, Jon Jones from the UFC is famous for using this style of kicking. In Wing Chun was call this kick the cross stamp kick.

Yet this is a key kicking attack in the Wing Chun, and often underestimated by many in the martial arts or self defence community. It is quite literally a knee destroyer if you can get the timing right. Better yet you can drop a bigger stronger attacker with some ease if you have the skill to focus your Wing Chun kicks on the knee joint.
