All Kicks can have a tremendous amount of power if we can use our mass as their power source. Good for all Martial Arts / Kung Fu practitioners to try out!
*A note about this channel the lineage:
Sifu Nima King is the owner and team leader of Mindful Wing Chun, a CST Wing Chun school in Hong Kong with affiliations around the world. Mindful Wing Chun is wholeheartedly dedicated to passing on the internal wing chun method as passed down by Grandmaster Chu Shong Tin who was the longest serving student of Grandmaster Ip Man. Chu Shong Tin lived with Ip Man for 5 years (1950-1955) and was coined the title ' the king of siu nim tao' by his master Ip Man.
He was a legend in the world of Wing Chun (in particular the internal method of wing chun) and spent 64years passing it on full-time before he passed away in 2014. Nim King practiced under hin in Hong Kong for 9 years and established Mindful Wing Chun under CST's guidance. Nima is also on the board of Directors for the 'Chu Shong Tin Alumni' which is a group of senior students of CST that were hand picked by him to establish the Alumni and to uphold and continue his teachings and Wing Chun legacy after he passed away.
Grandmaster Chu Shong Tin was a very humble and low-key Wing Chun Master therefore its only after we began putting his videos online, that people started to hear about him. In fact, majority of the main Wing CHun teachers (of the Ip Man lineage) who began practice in the 50s and early 60s (apart of Leung Sheung and Lok Yiu) were trained by CST even-though they were Ip Man's students. This is due to CST being the most snr and main teacher of Ip Man's school in those days.
Nima was lucky to start his practice under CST in 2005 because that's when CST decided to change his teaching to all internal practice so that he can pass on "Nim Tao' and 'Nim Lik' (the mind power/energy cultivated through internal Wing Chun practice) to his students.
Nima, even though a non-chinese and much younger than the other students of CST, attained a high level of these final teachings. He now mainly teaches the seniors within this lineage and also travels around giving workshops and is working on an online program so that master CST's teaching can have a greater reach.

Long live the genuine and internal art of Wing Chun / Ving Tsun!
Sigung elevated Wing Chun so much.
He really did for his era. But what he always said that he is sure that this is what Wing Chun was in the past around the time of its creation. He was sure of this because he 'picked up the message' by practicing the forms and pondering the name Siu Nim TAo (and what Ip Man told him which is Lop Nim - to cultivate an idea rather using brute force)
The training atmosphere is sooooooo based on reason and with 0% aggressivenes, just everybody responds to reason and logic. And the training is very informal. Thats so nice to see!
Yeah it felt (still does when I train there) like home!
This is the best way to train. Informal and lab-like.
soft and easy, flowing right through. nice!
🙏👍💯

Fascinating of using the centre of mass in kicking, how does that differ from a Muay Thai kick ?
Mui Thai Kick is more of a whip where the power is generated by the supporting leg and twisting of the hip to whip the kick out. In this method of Wing Chun the power source is the Center of Mass and we try and have the body and leg moving simultaneously
is it because he uses tan tien in his movement?!i think tan tien is what he calls center mass..all these great masters use tan tien but in order to understand the world what he does really mean he just calls it center mass.its correct.when you use tan tien which is called to be the center of the mass the you can produce a large amount of force in every kick..
No he said he doesnt use Dan tien in what he does. He uses his Center of Mass to power his movements.
I have heard Sifu Sergio uses the term Tan Tien, does he infuse Tai - Chi into his practice in Wing Chun?
Bunch of nonsense
Ok 'sifu' Rey. You are more than welcome to come to any of the open seminars to see if its non sense. Its not easy to understand what is going on (actually it is if you spend a little time watching more videos on his channel), but its not easy to believe from your personal experience if you can not been exposed to this essential side of Wing Chun.
I myself was skeptical even when I was learning from his student in sydney. This is before I met him. As soon as I touched hands with him for the first time in sydney, not only did I become a believer but I dropped everything and moved to Hong Kong to train directly under him for 10 years before he passed away. I wouldnt do that if it was non-sense
