Enjoy your training.
In this clip James SInclair of the UK Wing Chun Kung Fu Assoc. (UKWCKFA) is accompanied by Master Abid Mahmood of the Midlands Wing Chun Academy.
Here James discusses the Lok Sau excercise. Lok simply means to roll and is a common description of this unique approach. Some people refer to the exercise as Laap Sau as they are describing one of the techniques that make up this strange looking training tool.
Lok Sau is one of many Wing Chun specific trainining approaches. It is not a fight, or meant to resemble a fight. If you know nothing of the Art it is hard to see how this could have any value in self defence.
Drills of all kinds are used in Boxing, Judo, Muay Thai, MMA and some in and of themsleves may apear of little value to those not training in those Arts. Why do boxers hit the speedball, nobody puches like that in a fight, yet it is still considered de rigueur in some gyms.
There are many approaches, and all can be considered correct. The UKWCKFA have a number of different approaches to this skill set and find they all have some value. James Sincalir even 'invented' his own variation on this theme to deal with upercut style strikes coming up under the Bong Sau.
We accept and respect that you will have your own experience and opinions. For this reason we will not get into discussion on the content as it can go back and forth ad infinitum.
With so much pain in the world currently with COVID-19 we feel there are far more improtant things to deal with. We wish all of you a safe journey through these difficult times.

Just a short extract from the video/DVD that is now 21years old!
In this section James Sinclair discusses the idea behind Short Distance Power or 'Chun Geng'.
This may be useful to those new to the Wing Chun Art.
Even though everyone is on self isolation this remains something you can practice on the wallbag and take the time to refine the particular skill.
Please understand this is old footage and is not am exhaustive, full and complete discussion on the subject of short distance power.
We fully accept you have you own experience and opinions and therefore will not engage in tittle tattle that can go back and forth ad infinitum.
We wish you and your loved one well. if you have a Wng Chun question you wish discussed, please send a message to info@ukwingchun.com and we will consider making content for you and others that may share your interest.
If you enjoy nearly two hours of Wing Chun tuition the DVD is available for sale at www.ukwingchun.com/shop

Had to laugh as the last photo was an automatic crop. More likes without the head.... says far too much!
Thank you to those who attended the Cham Kiu MasterClass a great session with enthusiastic students.
Wishing you all well with the current Covid 19 pandemic. Wherever you are in the world the UKWCKFA wishes this pass with the minimum consequence to you or the people you love.
If you are a Wing Chun practitioner there is so much more to this beautiful Art than fighting and Chi Sau. We are blessed to have so much we can still do training alone or in non contact drills. Enjoy your journey. #trainalone #wingchun #WingChun
