    詠春拳のコンセプトとチサオのコツ　いろいろやってはいけない、この場合どすればいいかのアドバイス　Chisao tips and pointers

    画像
    今回の詠春拳動画の内容：　　English below:

    コンセプト：前へのプレッシャー
    コンセプト：センターラインを攻撃

    相手のセンターラインをコントロールしていないと、反撃される可能性が上がります。
    攻撃が相手を通すようにパンチしましょう。できれば、相手のバランスを崩すや相手が後ろにステップするように攻撃します。
    そのため、強い攻撃プレッシャーが必要です。

    プレッシャーをかけるのと押すのは違います
    攻撃でプレッシャーをかけます。相手が後ろに下がったり防御をしたりしないと攻撃が当たるというプレッシャーをかけましょう。
    押すのはただ押すだけです。ダメージはときにないです。

    ほかに動画の中に出るコツ
    • 相手のセンターをまっすぐ攻撃すること　ー　斜めに攻撃しないで
    • 打ち合いにならないように
    • 攻撃をコンパクトにしましょう　ー　無理しないで
    • 背が高い相手の場合、近い距離で下から攻撃
    • 引っ張らないで
    • 引っ張られたら、抵抗しないで
    • 引っ張られた方向に行きましょう
    • 出来れば、相手の引っ張る力を利用しましょう
    • 押さないで、流す　（押し技を使う場合もあるけど）
    • 押すのに力いっぱい使うなら、パンチに使う力が思い切り減ります

    Concept    : Forward pressure
    Concept: Attack the centerline

    If you don't control the opponent's centerline it's easier for him to counter you.
    Attack "through" your opponent and break his balance or make him step back.
    For that, you need strong forward pressure.

    Pressure and pushing are not the same
    Pressure is applied using attacks inflicting or threatening to inflict damage forcing the opponent back in order to avoid the attacks.
    Pushing is just pushing, no real damage is being done.

    Other tips and pointers in the video:
    Attack straight towards the opponent's center
    Don't attack diagonally
    Avoid exchanging punches
    Make your attacks compact, don't overreach
    Attack from below when dealing with a tall opponent
    Don't pull
    f pulled, don't resist.
    Go with the pulling energy
    If you can, use the opponent's pulling power to your advantage
    Don't push, deflect
    ​If you spend a lot of energy on pushing there's very little power left for punching

    Bruce Lee statement about the side kick (Let's take a closer look) 日本語版もある！

    画像
    日本語版　https://www.jsgym.net/blog/jeet-kune-do-sidekick-vs-boxer-jab
    ​
    I came upon this quote on the internet a while ago:
    “I’m using my longest weapon, m    y side kick against the nearest target, your kneecap. This can be compared to your left jab in boxing, except it’s much more damaging.” – Bruce Lee

    First of all, I am fan of Bruce Lee of course but when you're a fan you sometimes forget that the person you're a fan of is a person, just like yourself. And people are not perfect. Since Bruce Lee died way too young, but nevertheless managed to say and write a lot during his brief time on earth, he cannot control how he's statements are being used (which are often taken out of context for business purposes). And he cannot make corrections to his previous statements.

    One of the things I've learned during my time as a wing chun teacher is that your understanding of martial arts changes and deepens. What you thought you understood, you really didn't understand at that point in time. At least not to the extend you might do many years later.

    Now let's get back to the JKD side kick and try to compare it with the boxer's jab and look at the pros and cons. Since Bruce compares it with a jab I'll consider it used in the beginning and during fight, and not as a fight ending last attack (the only way I would use it as a wing chun practitioner!):

    The side kick might be more damaging if, and only if, it connects with the kneecap at the right angle, at the right distance, with the right timing. The problem with kicks in general is that they are slower than punches so if we were to put a side kicking Jeet Kune Do practitioner up against a jabbing boxer, my money is actually on the boxer using a jab rather than the JKD side kicker if asked who hits first, or benefits the most from the attack.

    First, the Jeet Kune Do side kick:
    In order to kick you need to transfer your weight first.
    If your kick is too high or low you don't get the effect that you were wishing for and you might have opened yourself up to a counterattack.
    The same goes for the distance: too close and the kick is weak, too far away and you miss the target completely.
    Timing: What if the opponent is moving? The kneecap is a rather small target and it's probably easy to time the kick wrongly and miss the target when there's movement involved.

    Now let's look at the boxer's jab:
    There's very little preparation needed for a jab. No need for transferring much weight.
    The target is the opponent's head, which is bigger and easier to hit than a kneecap. A counterattack is almost always a possibility but you're in a better position to follow up than after a side kick.
    Distance doesn't matter as much as the purpose of the jab is to measure distance and set your opponent up for the next punch. Timing is easier because it's easier to change direction on a punch than a kick. But the target is more moveable than the kneecap which can make it difficult to hit the target with a lot of power.

    Let's recap:
    When it comes to damage, the side kick wins. No doubt about that.
    When it comes to risk assessment, the side kick will often be much more risky than the jab because of the small target, time needed for transferring of weight, difficult timing, etc.

    So for the average person the jab is probably the better and safer technique.
    For Bruce Lee, maybe his kicking ability was one of a kind but the chance of you being as fast as Bruce Lee is minimal.
    I would practice the jab if I had to choose between the two techniques (though there's no use for a jab if you're using wing chun).
    Bruce Lee on the other hand, might never have changed his fondness for the side kick.

    護身術と他のシステムについてのよくある質問の答えと私たちの目標 (English version link below)

    画像
    よく護身術について聞かれることがあります。
    　たとえば合気道やロシアのシステマ、インドネシアのシラットについてどのように考えるかなどです。
    　そして詠春拳とジークンドーのどちらがよいかということも。

    　これらの質問にかんたんに答えると
        ”合気道は護身術としては特別によいものではありません”
    　このことはいつか書きます。
    　今言えるのは、合気道を学ぶのは護身術ではなく他によい理由があるからだということです。

    私が知る、または試してみたロシアやインドネシアの武術、キックやつかみ技のシステムの中で、私の目標にあったものはありませんでした。

    私の目標とは：

    最良で、最もシンプルで役に立ち、防御できて、たたかえる方法です。
    　その方法を、どんな状況でも、だれでも、背や体重関係なく、使えなくてはなりません。
    　それは早くて、敵をすぐに止められるものでなくてはいけません。
    (たくさんの持久力を高めるトレーニングは必要ないように。)

    　このシンプルな方法では、立ってたたかい、テイクダウン、複数の敵や、武器を持った敵に対応できる方法です。
    　どんな場所でも、逃げられない場所や逃げられる場所でも使えます。

    　この目標を考えると詠春拳とジークンドーのどちらをえらぶかはかんたんです。

    　詠春拳のほうが実際のたたかいにはすぐれています。
    　多くの(日本の)ジークンドーは映画のように速く見えますが、十分に役に立つテクニックではありません。
    (しかし、すべての日本のジークンドーがこのようなものではありません。素晴らしいジークンドーのインストラクターに会えるかもしれません。
    同じように私が詠春拳のことを書くときは　ジェイスジム詠春拳のことです。)

    詠春拳　回し蹴りは実戦向きではない　劣ってる技を辞めて多くの状況で使える技のみ

    画像
    生徒の中、回し蹴り好きな人結構いるので回し蹴りのいいところと良くないところについて動画を作ってみました。

    強い技のイメージがあると思いますが回し蹴りの使え道はとても限られています。
    多くの人はリングの上やオクタゴンの中で使える技は当然に強いと思っていますが状況が変わるとどういう技が強いかも変わります。

    実は、回し蹴りを使ってる詠春拳流派もあります。その流派の目標はきっと私たちの目標と異なります。

    ​とにかく、回し蹴りは詠春拳で戦っている人には役に立たないです！

    FAQ About self-defense and other systems and our goal (日本語版のリング下にある）

    English
    画像
    I often get asked about self-defense and for example aikido or what do you think about Russian (Systema) or Indonesian (Silat) martials arts? And which is better, wing chun or Jeet Kune Do (JKD)?

    The short answer to all of these is that Aikido is not very good self-defense. I'll write more about why not some other time. For now just trust me, choose Aikido for all other reasons than for self-defense.

    I haven't seen or tried any Russian, Indonesian martial arts, kicking or grappling arts, that has much to offer to my goal which is:

    to find the best, most simple and effective way to defend and fight for yourself under any circumstances, for any person no matter height and weight.
    And it has to be speedy, enabling the practitioner to stop the opponent quickly
    to avoid the need for lot's stamina training).

    Furthermore, this simple method has to be able to deal with standup fighting, takedown attempts, attacks by multiple opponents and opponents armed with weapons. All of these attacks have to be able to be dealt with on any surface and both in a confined or in an open space. 

    So considering my goal choosing between Wing Chun and JKD is easy.

    Wing Chun is just much better for realistic fighting, whereas a lot of (Japanese) JKD seems to be for actors looking for fast and flashy looking but not necessarily effective techniques. 
    (But all Japanese JKD might not be the same, like not all wing chun is the same. So you might be lucky to find a great JKD teacher, likewise when I write about wing chun, it's only about J's GYM wing chun.)
