Wing Chun Sparring: Is Sparring in Kickboxing Style with Big Gloves Helpful or Unhelpful?

-
Isaiah R. Harris asked me whether I had any video of me sparring in gloves to share and I replied him no. I feel that my reply is important to mainstream Wing Chun practitioners, so I'm posting it here.

"I don't. In fact, big gloves sparring isn't compatible with ancient arts because ancient arts don't have kickboxing posture whereby the arms are in a retracted position. And if you put on such gloves while doing a Bai Jeong, the weight of the gloves will affect your ability to do Wing Chun techniques. You guys are training mindlessly without a scientific mindset."

Exposing the Flaws: Smart Research Unveils Mainstream Wing Chun Missteps

-
Smart Research has been uncovering the shortcomings and errors within mainstream Wing Chun, yet many practitioners are hesitant to acknowledge the deficiencies in their techniques and biomechanics. To illustrate these issues, let's conduct an experiment using the inner Pak Da exercise: YouTube video: Inner Pak Da 1) Find an untrained individual or someone unfamiliar with mainstream Wing Chun. Ask them to simply let you roll their arms without actively blocking your attacks or creating openings. Do not instruct them on how to roll; allow them to move naturally (or not at all). 2) Attempt to execute your inner Pak Da technique when opportunities arise. Repeat this experiment several times. Consider the following: 1) Were you able to effectively Pak and punch your partner most of the time, despite their lack of resistance? 2) Did you notice any clumsiness or jammed movements in your own arms while attempting your techniques? If you struggled to smoothly execute this combination techni...

About Ancient Martial Arts

-
When should you leave a school? When you hear lots of unnecessary discussions about sinking Kua (hip), head lifted by a string, elbow energy, elbows inward, spiral energy (Taichi), and so on. Ancient martial arts are automatic and natural, and you don't have to deliberately pay attention to certain things. Don't overthink and don't get impressed by terminologies. Express ancient martial arts as you would express your body during an untrained and natural brawl. Why? Because ancient martial arts are mostly based on the combative experiences of ancient people, and they packed the entire fighting sequences into the forms already like a zip file. All you have to do is to use them and don't overthink. Visit www.skilloneness.com  to register for our Wing Chun course to fix your errors which have been plaguing mainstream Wing Chun.

Why Ancient Martial Arts Can’t Be Trained Like Modern Combat Sports – A Proven Analysis from an Expert

-
In martial arts, misconceptions about training methods are everywhere, even among seasoned practitioners. As an experienced martial artist and instructor, I want to clarify some of the most critical errors people make when training traditional techniques. This post isn’t just about tips; it’s a demonstration of the depth of my expertise—an understanding that most martial artists don’t have. To dive deeper into authentic training methods, check out my online Wing Chun course at [www.skilloneness.com](http://www.skilloneness.com). 1. Misconceptions Around Training Ancient Techniques on Punching Bags Many traditional martial artists don’t realize that practicing ancient strikes on a punching bag is fundamentally flawed. These techniques are designed to be executed against targets that are firmly grounded on the floor, simulating the reality of human contact and direct force application. When the target is free to move or sway backward, like a punching bag, it disrupts the strike’s purpose...
