So the next technique we're going to practice is something called Lau Gerk. Lau Gerk is actually just kind of a slang. It literally means to scoop the leg or scoop the leg of your opponent. It works very well against roundhouse kicks which are quite commonly when you're fighting karate tae kwon do or kick boxing. Roundhouse kicks are very, very common, but it's for a higher level roundhouse kick. If someone giving you a low kick or mid level kick, we have a different solution for that but this is against for someone maybe trying to kick you a little bit higher. At least to the elbow or higher or towards the head.
So, first we have the hand techniques. Alright and they come from the Siu Nim Tau form. If you start from the standard Wing Chun prefighting position, you're are going going to use Gwat Sau which is actually a sweeping motion from the 6th set of the form. You're are going to use the side palm which is going to go all the to the edge. Then you are going to scoop up with the Lao Sau hand and then you're are going to cut forward with the Fat Sau like that.
So when we teach it first we teach it in four steps. So we go 1, 2, 3 and the chop is 4. And then when the students can get that, we compress it into 2. So we go 1 and 2 together. And 3 and 4 together. Now 1 and 2 are very important, because this is what's going to keep your head protected in case the kick is very, very fast, but idly we want to go in and launch the guy as soon as we can. So, we have this only as a safety measure. There are other styles that actually practice a (?) against the round house kick. This we can do if we are caught off guard but standing there and blocking somebody kick full power with your forearms is not the best thing is a self-defense situation. We want to do things that aren't causing damage to our body. We don't always have forearm guards and shin pads when we fight on the street. We need things that work, you know, regardless if whether we have pads or not.
So a real simple progression if we have the wing chun person over here and the person firing the roundhouse kick. What I like to do is, when he takes a step to set up the kick, I'll have my student practice just the first part. So when he takes the step for the kick for the kick, he's going to step in and get his hand ready to go. Alright because this is the most important thing. So he goes for the set up step, hand is in, hand is up here to protect. He's already closing the the gap. The second part, okay after he takes the first one, he goes in. The kick comes, and then when we makes contact he's going to scoop and launch him. This way here. And the idea is to throw the opponent off balance with the kick. Now you have to be very careful when you practice this because you don't want to dump your partner on there head. So we're going to do it slow a few time and then we're going to go from there.
Alright, so you step in, slow and then launch. Like this. Okay. And then we do it in 2 action at first so that the students can get the technique down. 1 and the 2. And then eventually we do it with the passing step all in on action. This way. And that's Lau Gerk.

2:36 that was amazing
Love that Sifu Alex
When I grow up I wanna be a Donnie yen
Are you donnie yen yet
@@mellonhead9568 yes.
A Strike flow goes from shoulder-elbow-wrist? Actually, theoretically, it might come from the Hip which is connected to ground as well. Like a small remote controller's circular battery placed on the hip bone. Punches and kicks same, so it comes from The Inner Hip.

Need to use less technique in a real situation
+Austin Goh Martial Arts Training & Philosophy If you think this one movement is too much, you clearly haven't practised Wing Tsun enough times, and/or leaning some bad trash version of it.
Intention is more important than technique. Movement is the effect of the mind and chi. There needs to be more focus on the "idea".

Really, you are a perfect Spokesperson. For sneaking in something untrue, and then asking what was it?!
Excellect videos. Is there any video blocking mille or low kicks?
I think everyone should learn self defense
Did a little friendly "sparring" with a friend last night. Had basically no idea how to react, as he basically kept kicking me all the time. 10 months of Wing Chun have prepared me for straight punches, but I just freeze when approached by any kind of a kick.
Spent a while today thinking about how my reactions should have been. The solution I came up with was a combination of Gum Sao and Pak Sao. Glad to see I wasn't completely off. :)
interesting:D as u mentioned, in our lineage, we do the scissor, this looks more effective from one perspective, but it depends on your speed in my oppinion. If your lau sau/gerk is slower or the kick is faster than anticipated, maybe even change directions, than cant the kick actually get inside below the pak sau? I will have to try it out with a partner, but i would like your insight in this. Thank you in advance, Sifu.

How fast is your larp
I like it
Basically, u catch the high kick with ur forearm or hand softly.
Muay thai is better at catching kicks.
@@yeetman4953 Muay Thay don't respect even health of own practicioners. Did you can imagin 60 years old person after 40 years training of Muay Thay?
I can't.
But look at Ip Man, for example
@@zenekborn5878 you can learn it and live long. The acrual problem is when you start competeing.
Wing chun does not have a competetive sport associated with it.
@@yeetman4953 Wing Chun is not a sport. It's art of killing
I have a cold right now nothing worked😕😰😥😨😓😩😩😖
smh. good techniques but your missing the sweep
Probably best done on a padded space.
the kick dosnt make sence ,the guy is kicking to the side of the person ,if he would have kicked to the face, it would hit him in the head, no way he could defense it that way, you see this a lot with practise drills ,they think it works because the attacker is not really attacking serious just only preforming a sparring drill kick....best i heard so far, dont defense a kick with your arms, step forewards or sidewards ,stepping forewards the kick goes behond yeh ( and you can hit/take over the fight) and stepping sidewards-away from the kick,so if he kicks with the right you step to your right/his left,then the force of the kick is out of it
Sometimes you need to block a kick. Look into muay thai for this
cmon man .. watch the dudes feet on the last demo he clearly jumps lmfao
