🥋 KONZEPTE DER WINGTSUN-FORMEN – TEIL 2 IST ONLINE

🇬🇧 English version below ⬇️

Holzpuppe, Langstock, Doppelmesser. Die drei Formen, über die am meisten Unsinn erzählt wird.

Die Holzpuppe gilt als die geheime Form – wer sie kann, sei unbesiegbar. Das ist Quatsch. Training am Mann ist immer besser als an einer Puppe. Was sie dir wirklich beibringt, ist etwas anderes: Sie dreht das Konzept aller vorherigen Formen um. Statt die Zentrallinie zu halten, lernst du hier, sie wegzunehmen und neu auszurichten. Dazu die Pflaumenblüten-Schrittarbeit und die acht WingTsun-Tritte, bei denen Abwehr und Angriff gleichzeitig passieren.

Der Langstock sieht nach Folklore aus. 2,60 Meter Holz, zehn Sekunden Form, vier Techniken. Und trotzdem steckt darin genau das, was im waffenlosen Kampf fehlt: Struktur unter Last, tiefe Stände, Rumpfkraft – und die vierte Distanz, auf der du optisch reagierst statt über den Kontakt. Alles davon lässt sich bis zum Spazierstock herunterbrechen.

Und die Doppelmesser, die immer als Kür am Ende abgetan werden? Sie sind der Ursprung. Die BiuTze-Form stammt von den Messern ab, nicht umgekehrt. Erst war die Waffe da, dann hat man ihre Konzepte ins Waffenlose übernommen.

Am Ende wird es unbequem: Wie viel moderne Sportwissenschaft verträgt die Tradition? Thomas dreht die Frage um – was ist Tradition überhaupt, und wer ist hier eigentlich Traditionalist?

🥋 CONCEPTS OF THE WINGTSUN FORMS – PART 2 IS ONLINE

The wooden dummy, the long pole, the double knives. The three forms people talk the most nonsense about.

The wooden dummy is said to be the secret form – learn it and you are unbeatable. That is nonsense. Training on a human partner is always better than on a dummy. What it really teaches you is something else: it turns the concept of every form before it on its head. Instead of holding the centre line, you learn here to take it away and set it up again. Plus the plum blossom footwork and the eight WingTsun kicks, where defence and attack happen at the same time.

The long pole looks like folklore. Two and a half metres of wood, a form that lasts ten seconds, four techniques. And yet it holds exactly what is missing in empty-hand fighting: structure under load, deep stances, torso power – and the fourth distance, where you react with your eyes instead of through contact. All of it scales down to a walking stick.

And the double knives, always dismissed as the luxury at the end? They are the origin. The BiuTze form comes from the knives, not the other way round. The weapon came first, and its concepts were carried over into the empty-hand work.

At the end it gets uncomfortable: how much modern sports science can tradition take? Thomas turns the question around – what is tradition anyway, and who here is actually the traditionalist?

Die WingTsun-Doppelmesser

Ich lernte die Doppelmesser-Form mit Anwendungen schon 1980 und übte sie dann unermüdlich jeden Tag: mit den original WT-Hack-Messern, aber auch mit Gurkha-Messern und alten Bajonetten.

Ich habe nicht nur die Originalmesserform gelernt, wie GM Yip Man sie an GM Leung Ting unterrichtet hatte, sondern auch zwei weitere Variationen.

Aus der Doppelmesser-Form soll die Biu-Tse, die 3. Form entwickelt worden sein: meine liebste Form, die mit ihren kurvigen Bewegungen mein persönliches WingTsun stark beeinflusst.

We congratulate Lars on his 30 years of membership in Wing Tsun within the EWTO.
He has dedicated a significant part of his life to martial arts, and to Wing Tsun in particular. He teaches Wing Tsun with great passion in Helsingborg. Over the years, he has learned the complete unarmed system and has frequently attended seminars and training courses in Germany.
His particular focus has been—and continues to be—on the forms, as well as on structure, biomechanics, fighting principles, and strategy. The principles of Grandmaster Kernspecht’s Magic Hands have also become an integral part of his training and teaching.
With great dedication and meticulous attention to detail, Lars has kept extensive records of everything he has learned. He has also created a comprehensive book covering the 12 student grades, illustrated with numerous pictures. He is constantly developing his own knowledge and skills and, at the same time, passing them on to his students.
And there is more: Lars regularly writes specialist articles in which he also looks beyond the boundaries of Wing Tsun and explores the wider world of martial arts. By now, I have saved 58 of his articles.
I am very pleased as instructor in the Name of EWTO for sweden to have been able to accompany him on his journey for the past five years and to continue contributing new ideas and impulses, particularly in the area of Magic Hands.
In his honour, I have brought with me from the EWTO headquarters the certificate marking his 30 years of membership.
But that is not all:
In recognition of Lars’s extensive skills and abilities as a teacher, I am delighted, here and now, to appoint Lars as Sifu on behalf of the EWTO.
A Sifu, in the Chinese sense of the word, is a fatherly teacher and mentor who is capable of independently passing on the Wing Tsun system to others.

I am thinking about different martial arts:

When you look as beginner from outside you think - wow how different they are for example:

Karate
WingTsun
Teakwando
Ju-jitsu
MMA
kravMaga

And then you become a master and meet masters from the other styles and you start thinking : what the hell is the difference?

They all emphasise:
Attention, Attitude, body structure, body movabilaty, Biomechanics, Distance Training, Timing , Footwork, fighting strategy working with contact feeling (Wing Tsun early others later)

So in the end it’s all the same and they are all interested in inner styles for biomechanics.

The differences are only that they prefer and are especially good in different distances from kicking over boxing distance to elbow/knee, throwing, to ground fighting.

At the moment it looks as MMA is the winner - but this is only valid when there are fighting rules.
