Wing Chun Wooden Dummy Training Session with @MMAShredded #wingchun #jkd #mma #shorts

Nate is a great teacher. Knows exactly how proficient his student is and can explain in simple terms to convey the philosophy

thanks for the lesson!!!!

That "snapping" at the point of striking was so cool! I'm totally practicing and notice major power improvement!

Both these guys are excellent teachers/students. Respect.

He learns fast 😂

Awesome video… I’m at the dinner doing the techniques as I’m following along… Always wanted to train Wing Chun… Very cool stuff ✊🏾🔥✊🏾🔥

Love wing chun, and the Dummy is such a great training tool Shame them men can't respect you both, and wait till you finish the filming!

I love this series, please learn more wing chun try to understand the system and teach your audience how to use the principles, great job!

Very cool practice

Two real gentleman and humble fighters,i am waiting for my wooden dummy i hope that it arrives next week and can enjoy it,greets from Valencia Spain

Nate is such a great teacher, would like to learn WC from him one day, Jeff did awesome, would like to see a vid where he uses these techniques in sparring!

I'll admit I have often made fun of wing chun over the years, the people I've seen in person who practiced it (or most traditional martial arts really) weren't very impressive, to say it politely. You made it look so beautiful and functional, liked your sparring with Jeff too very cool application. I think I'll stick around and watch more, I kind of like this.

Love the video like I always said learn everything the you can from diferent arts and use it for you own system be humble and respect other arts

I love wing chun, I use it to supplement my martial arts. Love the ability to stick, trap, and the speed of the punches. Great stuff!

MMA wing Chun fans are eating good

Good vid!

That’s great Nate! You and JEFF! Fantastic bud! 😎💥👍💯

Good teacher!

I practiced choy li fut for a decade; this series is making me curious to try wing chun!

Originally, the wooden dummy did not have moving limbs. This made it slightly better for Conditioning (hardening) the arms, hands, fist, leg, foot..etc. The pole was buried deep into the Dirt, for maximum stability and to take the hardest impacts, without any movement. Yipman needed a dummy that could be placed into his modern Apartment... so he got a woodworker to create a new version. The moving arms serve a special purpose. When you use your WC hand movements, the limbs are partially pushed out of the way. This allows you to share the lines of attack/defense... rather than the dummys limbs always owning the lines. When the dummy had static limbs... you had to use additional Footwork steps, to move your body into different Alignments of the limbs... since you could not move the arms at all. Thus, the original dummy form was a lot more complicated, and a lot more Confusing. The main issue with the modern dummy arms... is that their movement requires a very thin section of wood... so that the two arms can be close enough together. That thin wood section of the arms... can easily break, when too much power is used on them. As such, you will often visit a WC school, and see a dummy with a missing / broken arm. Bruce Lee wanted to use his dummy for heavier conditioning, so he had a metal worker... create metal limbs for it. Or course, the dummy isnt supposed to be about mere rigid brute strength either. Its to be able to learn how to Fluidly Flow, as well as to learn how to align yourself with 100% Precision, to it. Maintaining the proper angles, alignments, and distances away from the dummy... is key. Poor footwork, can easily ruin all of your alignments to the limbs... as well as ruin your entire Structure. You dont really Need a dummy to practice and master WC. The dummy is mostly for training... when you dont have a partner to train with. You can also condition your arms and fists, using other methods, such as the Sandbags... and or Impact-Grinding on vertical metal poles.
