One-Handed Structure Testing

Doing some one-handed structure testing. This dynamic exercise gives feedback to the student of the insubstantialities in their skeletal structure. The feedback given through the constant uprooting and collapsing structure is paramount to developing rootedness. It is also a good demo of how its not about how fast you move or how big your muscles are. It's about positioning your skeletal structure to concentrate your energy to flow from one point in the ground to one point into your opponent.

One Inch Punch - Sifu Adam Williss



Using Dragon Family Wing Chun's long bridge side-body kwan ma (pole horse stance), Sifu Adam Williss demonstrates the power of the one-inch punch in a recent Open House at our Dana Point Kung Fu school. The recipient was picked randomly from the audience and he was not a student at the time. Although on camera, the one-inch punch resembles a push, to feel is to believe. Please come visit one of our OC Wing Chun schools, either in Dana Point or Irvine, CA and ask our sifu to demonstrate it on you. Don't worry. We'll have a pad for you to hold. After we simply ask to have your testimonial to share with others.

"This is indeed a punch. Far from just a push. Even through the pad, I felt like my chest was going to cave in." -Jason V. 

"That was one of the coolest things I've ever experienced. Can I go again?" -Michael B. 

"I felt like I caught the energy about three inches behind my back..." -Ozzie H.
