In this clip from a #ukwckfa online live #wingchun session, James Sinclair discusses head movement.
Traditionally, it would appear that Wing Chun practitioners do not move their head very much, preferring instread to use the whole body in an attempt to 'LOOK like Wing Chun. To pose a shape more than protect thier health.
Moving the head facilitates fast footwork, therefore better hand speed, quicker kicks, better distance coverage and far more.
If you were sitting enjoying an outside meal and a bee/wasp came suddeny close your face you would move your head, not just swat it with your hand.
Simplistic Description: Human eyes are exceptionally good at perceiving movement in peripheral vision. We do not need to see the colour, texture or any detail to cause a reaction to move. Most fighters, therefore, don't stare and look for detail. They look in a general manner and pick up movement more easily.
To block a sudden fast movement should initiate a slight head movement. Training NOT to use what nature gifted is just outrageous. Trying to use highly complex motor skills to block simple punches just does not work under speed and pressure. Yes simple puches are the fastest!
When James describes the 'tickle' he is basically giving a simple way to approach the idea of gaining stick. As #chisau is considered the defacto method of training in #wingchunkungfu it makes sense that you MUST know how to transition to that skillset when not training with someone who is also trainning in chi sau wth you.
As this is a tiny clip from a far lengthier discussion, it is easy to take this out of context. It is important to us that you know that insult is never intended.
It is appreciated that you have your own thoughts, opinions and experience.
We will not enter into any discussion as it can go back and forth ad infinitum and we all have better things to do. Like train...!

From James Sinclair's live #wingchun zoom session.
Another very short extract from one of James Sinclair's live teaching sessions where he discussed the use of the punches and elbows.
In this clip James discusses the idea behind 'Yiu Ma Hop Yat' and why, when using the elbow in particular, it is so important.
All Wing Chun students use the #chisau training medium to enhance their their reactive skills in an adaptable manner. However, it appears that quite a large amout of students and teachers find the transition from forms to chi sau to fighting very difficult. In 2005 Jmaes was greatly complimented by many of the worlds eading teachers for his skill in this particular area.
Today James is a coach and produces many high quality teachers and practitoners. Join James on his zoom sessions and see why he is rated as one of the great teachers availlable.
We fully understand that you have your own opinions and experience and there are answers for answers ad infinitum.
We will not get into discussions as this is but a very short clip from a far lengthier discussion that covered classical/traditional applications too.
