Chain Punches

Beside the straight-line thrusting punches, which is frequently used, there are two other methods of punching in the Wing Tzun system, they are the lifting punch which is incorporated in the Chum-Kiu form, and the hooking punch, which is incorporated in the Biu-Tze form. these two punching techniques are used when the practitioner is in such a position that he finds it difficult and ineffective to use the straight-line thrusting punch. Chan Punches are a attack combination of straight-line thrusting punches.

Wing Tzun Chain Punches

Once a Wing Tzun fighter has gained her/his advantage by a punch he/she doesn't just give it up but lets other chain-punches follow the first. This is one of the most effective weapons of WT, traditional martial arts know of no means to counter them. The quick sequence of punches overwhelms the capacities of the opponent to process information as he is driven into a helpless defense. The economy of Wing Tzun manifests itself in all corners and ends of this martial art and provides surprises and eye-openers to even the most advanced students.

The problem is that during the lifetime of grandmaster Yip Man, he rarely gave deep explanations to his students in the common classes, Dr. leung related. You know Yip Man was a very traditional kung fu instructor, he added. In his way of thinking, if
the student did not measure up to a certain standard to make him feel that they should be taught more about the application, he would not even explain to them the meaning or various functions of certain special movements. Also, the traditional wing chun concepts stressed a free-form approach to learning and free use of the technique so the practitioner could adapt to myriad attacks. Therefore, wing chun instructors normally did not advocate a systematic way of teaching their students. Most traditional wing chun instructors either adopted a personal method or one that was accepted by their students. Leaving out something This method worked fine in another era when wing chun teachers accepted only a few disciples who remained with them a minimum of ten years.
