前年に数回セミナーをやりましたが最近やっていないです。 はやくまたできるようになったらいいな。 この動画は2016年の2月に行われた詠春拳のラットサオとチサオセミナーに取られた映像です。

ラットサオからスタートして、チサオで練習した技を使ってみて、パンチとチサオを混ぜる練習方法です。こういう風に練習するとスパーするときにチサオで練習した技が使えるようになります。 更に、普通のチサオのみ練習よりペースが少し早いので、意識して技をかけてるか、感覚で技が自然に流れているか確認できます。 この動画では、スパーではなく、練習ドリルなので、わざとペース落としてるから、もっと長く連続技を連続できます。

いっぱい練習しましょう!!

アダプタビリティと無限に連続している技
アダプタビリティ（適応性）は、ブルース・リー（JKDの作成者）が「水のようになる」と呼んだことです。ジェイスGYM詠春拳では、形（手技）を変えて相手の攻撃に対応しようとしていますが対戦相手に技を「選択」させます。 無限な技とは、技を沢山使っているという意味ではありません。逆に、少ない技を連続して、無限な攻撃と防御的な動きで戦うことです。 この戦い方は、ほとんどの武道（ジークンドー含めて）で使用されているパンチ/キックのコンビネーションとは大きく異なります。詠春拳の「無理しない」と「前へのプレッシャー」のコンセプトを使わないとできないです。

English: Adaptability (Wing chun) is what Bruce Lee (creator of JKD) called to "be like water". At J's gym wing chun we try to adapt our responses to the opponent's attack by changing shapes (read techniques) and let the opponent "choose" our techniques for us. Infinite techniques do not mean that we have a lot of techniques but that we connect a few techniques into an infinite chain of attacks and defensive moves. It's very different from a punch/kick combination as used by most martial arts. Blocking often works poorly against a stronger opponent and so we should only use it as a last resort. Instead, we focus on deflecting attacks and when possible to use the opponent's force against him.

Without forward pressure you end up with something like in the beginning of this video. Especially students with a background in karate, kickboxing or muay thai tend to think of blocking as the best (only?) defense against kicks. While this way of defending (of course done in a much better way than I show here) makes sense in a kickboxing, muay thai or karate match, it’s not a very effective way of defending if the opponent is bigger than you.
 
In order to fight an opponent bigger than yourself you can never afford to receive the full force of such opponent!
Avoid blocking as much as possible!!
 
One of the tactics we use in order to avoid blocking is to apply forward pressure. Stay just out of your opponent’s reach and counterattack (with forward pressure towards the opponent’s center) when the opponent tries to get close enough to attack.
 
As you step in, aim your intercepting kick for his groin or legs (knees if possible).
At first connecting with your kick is not the most important goal but stopping the attack is. Since we “chain” our movements (counterattacks using both arms and legs) we don’t necessarily need to connect with every punch or kick, because further punches and kicks will continuously follow. So, we succeed if we can prevent the opponent’s attacks and preferably get him on the defense. Of course, a clean hit to the groin area or a knee is also great!
 
This way of fighting/defending gives a smaller person a much better chance of defending against a bigger person because you avoid fighting force with force.

Video clip from the instructor's class

今日のチサオ練習です。

ブルースリー、子供の時の憧れです。ジークンドーもやってたけど詠春拳は違う。詠春拳は本当に無駄のない武術！

I played around with my new phone's camera after the evening class and shot some of the students doing free training. Since the fluorescent lights keep flickering it's not really useful for indoor shooting. But the quality seems fair.  Even though I zoomed in a bit on the video but it still looks kind of crisp. At least that is how it looked on the phone, less crisp when uploaded to the website.....
​
Staying on and working on the techniques is a really good thing to do when you have time.
Great job,  guys!!!  

片手で打って反対の手でパクサオ。連打のように手両手が止まらないです。ブロックしないで、相手のパンチを流してください。
