Forte & Foible in Dragon Family Wing Chun

Just now on Ask Sifu...

Q: How do your respond to pressure against your arms?

A: There are many different types of pressure. But here's a video I did on how I teach the divisions of the forearm. It doesn't address everything, but its a start to understanding the concept of substantial and insubstantiality.



Using fencing terminology (forte and foible) to explain the strong and weak division of the forearm (Wing Chun bridge) and how to react to pressure placed upon these parts (based on the understanding of substantial and insubstantial).
