What It's About:
Sifu Tony Massengill presents Wing Chun training drills to develop conditioned reflexes for combat.
Comments:
Before you can apply close range technique in a fighting situation one must drill properly in order to make it work. Sifu Massengill presents superbly, the basics in performing the drills associated with close range fighting in the Wing Chun system.
Fundamental in this skill development of close range fighting comes from understanding the rudiments of the drill's structure. This is excellent advice, since it's important to know what the drill is to achieve in practice. Drills, done properly can quicken learning, particularly in the technique's execution and gives one a true feel in discovering how it works.
Applications performed during training drills depend on one's structure as well as the structure of the other person; one must also consider other factors which affect performance in the drill. For example, not only structure, but how one's distance and point of contact with the other person are achieved during the drill. This is probably an obvious point, since if you're a short person practicing with someone who is taller, the drill is going to work slightly different---one has to compensate for the difference. Of course, how one adjust for such differences in size and weight of an opponent can only be achieved during drills which give you the opportunity to use technique in such a situation.
Sifu Massengill, gives an excellent presentation of how drills and technique work based on sound principles of Wing Chun. He shows the practitioner where the drill actually starts and follows through in its sequences. In training he said, "train and use what has merit." That's excellent advice! Simply put...does it work and does it work for you! Sifu's demonstration of technique is impressive during the training drill sequences offering a clear understanding of the Wing Chun principles applied. This is an excellent DVD to be taught the concepts and practice of drills leading to skill development in applying the various hand forms of the Wing Chun system.
