Great info, love how you guys break down wing chun and make it practical! Makes me more confident about the system!
@Ian Knight :p Yep, that's wing chun.
If your learning wing chun you shouldn't look to KZhead to make you confident in the system go to your teacher and find out what's going wrong in your learning if I'm ever un sure I ask alot of questions and get practical answers from him. However this channel is very very good
Outstanding information...well taught. I bring it to my Aikido dojo and the students get a look at a different MA dynamic. Thanks!
Great video. I like that you don't sell violence, you sell fighting awareness. Thank you for the video.
Always so informative,always right on topic.Thank you for your precious information SiFu!My respect.
Hello, Just found this channel, Great advice, Elbow blows are my go to in a street fight. Former Military, Bar Bouncer, Schitt happen fast, and you must end the fight as fast as possible. Cheers.👍💪👊💥
I love watching these videos. Hard made easy and understandable. That's how you know when someone has a true, in depth knowledge of something. 💯
Awesome video brother😁😁.. Great techniques..
Great show ! I am glad I found it!!
Another great video. I love using elbows too for the exact same reason, the force and getting into the opponent's personal space. Many will freak out fighing in such close quarters. I've studied silat and pukulan, and they have some of the best elbow techniques and concepts. Thanks again for the wonderful video sifu.
Great teaching Thanks.. Lots of Love..
Good stuff thanks for sharing.
Great physiological explanation of space for the elbows. Thankyou
Excellent video., Thankyou for sharing.
"vertically challenged" savage 🙈
Great instruction. Thank you.
Always great advice good street Wing Chun.
Good value!!
in my system we have an elbow we call 'collapsing elbow' where you either strike and connect, or strike and miss/blocked and you allow the striking hand to 'collapse' into an elbow strike. can be a little tough to time it, but if it works its a big surprise to the opponent, and it then allows you to get in close for better elbow strikes.
I’ve been following your videos for a while now and I have to agree, elbow strikes are one of my favourites because you can use them in different ways. I use them a lot while training lol.
+John Thank you for following our videos. May all our hard work worthwhile. Have a great day.
Thanks for the video!From Los Angeles!Could you make a video on a combo of strikes and elbows that we can practice?Thank you
Very realistic and helpful tips.
Ellbows are awesome. You can use them from guards and follow up with hammerfists or grabs. Moreover, they (and hammerfists) are much safer than punches. I learned it the hard way when I saw a boxing bag and tried various strikes without gloves. PS: if you want to know which hurt the least: 8) finger jabs 7) leopard fist 6) hooks 5) punches 4) slaps 3) palmstrikes and forearmsstrikes (either inside our outside) 2) hammerfist 1) ellbow strikes
edi I remember the first time I hit a heavy bag with an uppercut I thought I’d broke my wrist.
@@jaymiddleton1782 When I punched for the first time, it felt the same LOL. I had to be really careful with 6-8... Only with 4-1 I could go full force. People laugh at slaps, but when you realise that you can hit a lot harder like this, it doesn't feel like being a pussy any more... Regarding punches, I got much better at hitting the bag hard, but it still hurts after a few strikes and I still can't do it full force. On the other hand, I can unhook a medium sized bag with a forearmsstrike (similar to a livershot hook, but hitting with the inside of my forearm). Still, I guess that I'd break my arm, if I hit someone on the skull like this.
There is still a definite risk of breaking your hand using a hammer fist if u strike a hard target. This is precisely what happened to my sparring partner. Also with finger jabs u could easily hurt your fingers. I always hit a punching bag with no gloves. This is for self defense, it’s not a sport. And yeah, with an uppercut u need a certain kind of bag
Love it👊
I love this video I study an art base on elbow defense and fighting
I love this! I think excactly the same, training wing chun for almost 20 years beside FMA and MuayBoran, great channel, great explanation!
"We all know George is tough." Sifu.. "I have to be. "George lol. That was awesome. Elbows = Devastatingly Awesome. 😎👍
4:52 yeah that hurts as well. {Most people stop} *Intensity increases*

Meanwhile in newcastle a local barber got arrested for selling drugs, I'd been his customer for years ..I never knew he was a barber🤔
hahahahahaha
Lol 😂😂😂
This comment was stolen
😂🤣😂
LOL very funny
Nice tip: when throwing an elbow, make sure your thumb knuckle is pointing at the floor and not at you (in other word, your backhand faces you and not the sky). This will naturally make the bone part of the elbow more out, which you will use to inflict more damage. The rotation used to reach that position can also increase the damage.
What a great teacher! I like your persona cos u dressed and looked like a banker/ lectuerer at a university etc but actually you are a very skilled martial artist.
Can you post a new video on shadowboxing and switching stance while punching
I liked that... Vertically challenged hahaha I might use that
. I love elbows too. - which is why I love 'Bajiquan' - do you know about bajiquan? - my favorite form is: 'liu da kai'
Baji the most badass kung fu style there ever was.
Another great part of elbows is that if you MISS in a mount position with a fist you hit the ground and break a hand or wrist potentially. Same in a standing shot if they're against a wall. An elbow is sharp, extremely powerful, and when folded it naturally guards the joint.
Check how Master Wong does it [catching fist with elbow]: I know he is good friend of yours, as came to your club one time. But notice he DOESN'T chase the fist: but works more like a COVER. Take upper-gate, for example: he can either punch straight or coming from the side. So for straight, you just place elbow in front of the eye. For side: it's more at 45° angle.
Also, elbows are tough to defend against. Mostly, because of their short range and close proximity, and less telegraphing of the movement. People are always looking for the punch, so in a way it is a surprise attack in terms of a strike.
Fight buddy of mine fought a Thai Boxer. He was winning, when the Thai suddenly elbowed his eye. 16 stitches.
timing though and carefull of the ribcage exposure, even a bone from a fractured rib can wreck a lung, elbows points deliver pain and thats a strong signal esp defence, usefull if they pull you to the ground from behind along with an eye gam of course :) learn drumming hard for stamina then fight like mantis and octopus
I completely agree about elbows. Especially about the fact that you probably won't be able to catch a fist with the elbows. But I also watched a video from master Wong where he claims opposite. I didn't agree with that, so and you do.
I love elbows! 💪❤ #FIGHTBOSS
I like this one so much. I hope I never get in a fight again. I'm 56 and handicapped can barely walk. I know I'll use my cane like a bat. LOL
2:47 smart!
Also elbows can cause bleeding which a lot of people cant handle
Legit...
I love you so much man.I am slow and strong and my elbows are slow and I thought they were useless, there is not a chain elbow they are so slow. I am kind of you by accident and math design. they say don't just block you will run out of luck...I do the inverse thing. don't just keep trying to hit me in the head because I am all out wong defense cover that head elbows forward keep wiggling...he will run out of luck because he may hit me in the arms a lot a the face a little but he will run out of luck and hit that elbow and I will try to catch the other hand, and if i do hill billy hand trap he has one hand hurt and I am yanking the other one around so he is off balance while I strike him...I am adding this to my tools,, love the chant "hands feet elbows head" I love to have songs and chants in my head when I am in trouble to get in the moment..there is one school of knife defense that says control the weapon at all costs knife or gun control the weapon at all cost..I got it down to "never let go" over and over in my mind..I may grab a hand and try to twist it invent new joint locks and just keep on twisting screaming never let go if a guy about 60 kilos and fast ever got caught in my grip. this screaming is loud 100 decibles and maniacal laughter...I can not even feel a guy hitting me when I get pumped full of hate and rage, I even feed on it.what ever I lack in proper training I got in full on Adrenalin and pure mental illness...I think I project so much hate it makes opponents sick to face me...I swear to god when my girl friends husband dies and I and get the money to come there we can swap skills...if you think you should charge me I will buy some lessons I am a good sport..I would love to come and see if the class can feel me, and if anybody wants to swap lessons I would trade with any student...I know a lot about mind control...I will never never never die, you have to kill me, and while you are killing me I will fight hard, i got one chance in all the universe to go to the shaolin temple.NEVER LET GO of my shaolin monk delusion while I am being killed.
I'm just scared of this man's smile...

👍🏼👏🏼 #FIGHTBOSS
Is it safe to assume when using elbows that the majority of time your hands will be open or not.
So how do you handle a bjj ground game as you keep hearing that most fights end on ground
From what I heard wing chun does have ground form, but more of striking from the ground rather than grappling, I remember he also knows BJJ as well.
I love your videos but it upsets me that I cannot have you as a personal trainer due to location
Well done, good information. The chum kiu and biu gee forms get those elbow strikes in. It is quite interesting that staying relaxed and just turning your body and hip then allows the elbow to swing. If you do a hook punch but let the arm fold it becomes elbow strike. I like how you blend BJJ with Wing Chun, it is a good mix.
I've seen a video of two russian, drunk guys fighting over a very dumb thig essentially, but as they're fighting, one of them takes down the other to the ground, and then, the guy that's being grabbed starts to elbow the other guy... ON THE THROAT! And he does this like 15 times before the spectators stop him, and this is where he realizes that he just took the guy's life, by repeatedly striking him in the throat with full power, non-stop elbow hits.
How do I practice this stuff without a partner? I don’t have anyone to train with but I have a heavy bag. I know it’s not the same as a person, so what’s the best way to train this without a partner?
Are hammer fist a good idea in close combat? And what is your fav martial arts style?
Yes to collarbone bridge of nose. if the person is bent over hammer to the base of neck. Etc
@@complexblackness ok then makes sense thanks👍
you can hammerfist the bicep also
@@complexblackness I'm sure that bruises up the muscle and makes it hard for them too extend punches huh?
@@Mr9thCHYLD Lol hit yourself with some force and see. Don't do it too hard but enough to see, what could possibly happen if you hit someone in the bicep with force. Even "karate chops" can be used. I just hit myself with with a chop to the bicep. I felt it and I can imagine, how it could possibly affect a person ability to use that arm. Just smashing into the bicep with extreme force against an attacker.
I thought this was going to be a video about upward elbows, spinning elbows, etc.
What should people who aren't tall do in these types of situations?
Concealed carry.
You want to block your opponents punches with so much force to make them be afraid of getting hit in the face with that punch.
Again, a great video, thank you so much for your insight. And always thumbs pointing down (you forgot to mention it) with elbow kicks so the impact happens with the bone and not the muscle, which you do naturally. However, I would rather put my front leg and foot outside (3:35) as the opponent can easily sweep it away with his front leg and make me fall. The position would also give me better control as I will still be in front of him, which won't be the case for him. But again, that is just theoretical, if you push and hit as he says, fast and strong and precise (it all comes to this eventually), it will work :) Keep up with the good work! Cheers from France

00:10 Spirit orb.
If Wing Chun why not emphasize blasting the CG with well timed linear attacks (long to short) while not forgetting to "listen" with your weapons to his resistance and clashing...not to mention leg destruction, all part of Wing Chun and known to be effective....
Any footage of this guy actually fighting? Seems knowledgeable when it comes to fighting BUT its easy to pull of with well choreographed demos.

I’m vertically challenged and can’t punch anyone hard enough to do more than annoy them. I can hit hard with palm heels and elbows, though. 😎
Someone's been watching Jack Reacher and Batman Begins
Kick boxing any good guys?
Not for close combat like this! Kickboxing is for long range and mid range.
aqib Kickboxing is awesome
52 blocks
What I like about this guy is that all his hair from his head has gone to his forearms.. Be careful this is what Wing Chun does to you.
So many elbow angles missed on this video Plus it's all guns now. No more Street fights
Lions in Africa could learn to eat people in this Wing Chun Training. Appetite for Damaging the Target is Top Rank..
Note to self: Do not pick a fight with this man....
Is that an elbow in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?
At 7:05. Hopefully you are not the unlucky guy who does not just get an ordinary guy or a guy who follows self defense channels like us!!!!
Aren't you guys cold? It's winter season and all you had was a t-shirt along with long pants.
Us vertically challenged follks need elbows alll the time. For me in close is the best place to be... just sayin.... Thanks !!!! If it wasn't for the rona, I would come over and get some training....
✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌
All that striking and I have all ready jammed my finger's into the eyes but good job if you want to fight for longer.
Yes, by doing that, he can't knee you in the groin! If you drop the back leg two inches, it pushes the knee forward, locking it into place. It's called FORWARD INTENT in wing chun and is one of the ten concepts. Remember not to lean forward or backward, but keep a straight up and down position so your structure stays solid.
Respectfully disagree. One of the many reasons I left my Wing-Chun teacher. Nothing is static in a street fight. If you stay static, you will get starched! You'll never see any winning boxer stand straight, ever. Not even the Russians. You generate all your power from the crouch. Also, in a real fight, if you stand straight, you can't move as effectively. Your attacker may punch you, but he may simply use his mass to tackle/grab/grapple with you. You absolutely don not want to be "straight up" if that happens, because you'll end up face up & lights out on your ass on the ground with brain damage.
@@davejohnson-yi2rk You don't know too much about wing chun, do you? How long did you practice and what teacher did you have? No, we don't stay static, which means we don't just stand there. We enter in after making initial contact. Again, if we use angled footwork, with a body rotation towards the attack to be able to see it coming, and we are on the outside of his attacking arm and close enough that the can't tackle us because we have control of the arm and leg through trapping. Again, you know very little about wing chun. You don't need to generate power through the crouch. That doesn't work well in wing chun. We generate power through joint alignment, the elbow behind the fist, a slight body rotation and forward momentum, which allows us to produce amazing power in less than one foot, which a boxer could never do.
@@mightymeatmonsta A very simple explanation of what actually takes place, but its correct.
@@WhatsTheTakeaway Thank you! But you have to remember, this only happens in the traditional system. The modified doesn't have the proper footwork or know how to enter in properly (except, of course, in the Wong Shun Leung system, which is the best-modified system and the exception.).
Interesting that MMA guys rarely dispute your stuff. "Wing Chun not practical in a street fight" - baloney!
using your head as a weapon is never a good idea
Vertically challenged haha
So good! So many positive points, and I know you guys truly understand, but in teaching you missed the mark. Don't glorify elbows. It doesn't matter how good your elbow game is the attacker got through your kicking and punching range.
Yes. Most of the time the other guys are just ordinary people. And it is so stupid when you have people who think they are so smart and asked/said, can these teachers fight against MMA . But what to do. Like the saying, all brawl but no brains.
As always Master wong shit
