Listen pal, you really, really need to do a proper sanda fight. Sparring this way is compounding your delusion. you need to see what happens when the lad you face wants to knock you out, and doesn't recoil with slaps to the face, but tucks forward, dodges and weaves, moves a little , suckers you in and then.... BANG! Or just simply ducks and throws you.. a simple shoot negates about 99% of what you demonstrate - fact!
Overwhelming with million mile an hour impact-less striking will get you nowhere ... and if the situation is serious that nowhere is not somewhere you want to end up. You cannot "listen" (ting jin) because you are going too fast with BIG BIG movements, its a disaster! Impact demands position, it demands you have punched / slapped / struck "through" the opponent, I know by your foot position that you have none. Your opponent is recoiling ? I don't know why? maybe he's allergic to leather?
Man, you can go ahead and waste your whole life on this nonsense, its your life pal, there's practically zero difference between what you demonstrated and the parody GrahamB posted in response. Those guys too, believe in a million punch combination, sorry, I should be clear, not a combination but a chain of the EXACT same movement, thus readable with a rhythm... Oh, Oh!!! I guarantee you those guys too have not fought in a decent level combat sport... enlightenment would have been forthcoming.
Like, you know, after your comments on my students, I thought maybe I'd see some contrived kata-esque wulin shite, but those types have kicks and throws at least, stuff that works but has been made "theatrical"... like seriously, try analyze it as if you needed to defend against your attacks? Where are you glaringly open? Whats the simplest way to negate all that busy-ness? Why don't you see those strikes in combat sports? They would be perfectly legal! This "pecking" shite with reverse partially elbow driven whippy what? what can I call it? ... jesus wept man!!!
Like, you really believe this sh1t works.. I guarantee thats because you actually fear being hit yourself, you are unaccustomed it, so for people like you there's a logic in "overwhelming combinations or chains of strikes", its what YOU dread... personally . But your strategy DEMANDS a fearful reaction from all opponents... but lads who fight or who grow up in violent backgrounds don't give a fcuk...I've sen your approach in a lot of village arts.. because average Joe aint really clued in either to whats real and matters.
Like, I don't know, fuck like!!! I feel now like I've decked a child... You're just not at a level to understand, and that's crystal, YOU NEED to compete properly, just once even, forget about the bums in the parks, and "students", like I said before that sh1t is compounding your problems!. you'll be perfectly safe in a legit sanda match, (the other fantasists on here are correct - there are refs to protect you, and have your cornerman ready with a towel if shit gets messy.) Like on other threads on this board where people advise others, you don't even need to win, you just really need to sort this shit out and I don't think its possible to reason with you on it, your mind is made up, its really something you'll have to discover.
Now alot may think me a complete cnut for saying these things, but the end of the day, anyone here with decent experience sees what I'm saying, and long term I'm doing you a massive favour, while damning myself, because pal!!! you gotta sort out fantasy from reality!!
Say nothing to noone, just for yourself find out in a safe way - combat sports, sanda would be good, stay the fcuk away from national level amateur boxing, or anything in a ring, the ropes and corners will contain you with out escape, and you have no concept of guard. Your arms even at times (in that video where you were NOT under pressure EVER) drop back past your side-centrelines and your hands below your ass... what feckin use are they there? MMA might actually be a good format too, they are more prepared to jump in and stop a mismatch. Although maybe with wrestling involved (same for sanda actually) you'll just get thrown around and refuse to see the flaw in your striking, not getting a chance to?... An amateur level Muay Thai might be best, its primarily striking so you get to focus on what seems the focus of your art, and you'll learn about impact, guard and clinchwork that negates the million mile an hour approach yet still delivers its own devastation...
I mean... really...
And those applauding this kind of thing? Ye guys are endangering this lad, filling his head with nonsense! If you haven't been involved in a reasonable level striking art you should do him a favour and keep quiet...
Martin you were actually better before, and I know I now seem contradictory, its a paradox for sure, but before your issue was the one-shot-wonder one, BUT at least you were "meaning it", picking your shot, moving in with the strike , this departure, however, is just wrong, its now multiples of single type movement to "cast a net and hope to catch something approach".. and there's no real purposeful intent, and that reveals itself in the footwork. Tai Chi has stuff like gyrating arms, but the circular / spiral diversion followed by strike is a singular action and contains precise footwork.. it drags arms and travels around to evade and simultaneously gain range to deliver an impactful strike. Some people drive me crazy and just wave / spin their hands aimlessly, and they have zero coordination between hands and legs, a sort of if it happens great attitude... But "the technique is broken, the intent not broken"
If you charge in with a chain of whatever, you cant be listening, youre already sticking your oar in and to hell with all else... if you cant listen you cant know when to "hua jin" and so you will at best miss the opportunity (being mis-positioned fighting with a formula rather than alive)and at worst you'll miss his opportunity.. it means you cant break your own technique in time and transform... that leads to the technique remaining unbroken and the intent being used against you. anyway, i dont even know if you might understand all that...
