I am still new to Win Chung since I started studying october of last year but I believe that for years of training in other arts there is something I need to give my opinion on.
Allmost all the time that I see win chung there's people who as training block or deviate one single attack and then rush in with continuous punch to the face.
I do understand the pros of the idea of using continuous impacts but I also think I understood something about controling the situation by controlling the centerline and sitance, forcing the opponent to do what you expect him to do and also about searching for contact to sense the opponent´s intentions and be able to react or anticipate to keep yourself from being hit, especially if your facing a stronger attacker.
I understand that using a punch pushing with the forearm/elbow against the attacking arm blocks the attack and can clear the way for your counterattack which could be the same punch that was used as block. I understand that the blocked arm you push against with the foream/elbow is being controlled and you can sense movements of it helping to prevent further attack with this arm and so eliminating your enemies attacking options, which makes it easier for yourself to defend yourself from them.
So can anyone explain me how rushing forward with continuous punch to the face uses these concepts????????????
Because I thought the idea of a win chung punch was used to block or deviate an attack, maintain contact and doing so controlling the distance , centerline and the limb that attacked and at the same time to set up for or be a counterattack.
When rushing forward striking multiple punches, how do you control your opponent's arms and keep from being hit yourself??? What if your enemy throws a punch at you but keeps his guard up, how do you keep him from throwing another punch at you while you are closing in??
Isn't this nothing more than simple interchange of blows then?? How does this benefit a weaker person who is on the defense against a stronger attacker??? I don't see any control of distance, attacker or yourself, no backup plan if it doesn't work, no .....
What I wanted to say is that up until now my opinion on this omnipresent Continuous punch is that there is no art in it and that it´s going against the whole theory, which Win Chung is based on and that exactly that´s what gives win Chung a bad reputation. I am not critizing Win Chung as an art, just wanted to vent some ideas on the fact that when you say the name win chung people start making circles with their fists because a lot of people only know and train exactly that as if it were real Win Chung.
maybe someone can explain me how this wildly punching around while rushing in really works, but in the meanwhile I prefer to focus on other aspects of win Chung.
