s first ever martial arts teacher in Hong Kong. Wing Chun practice is ideal for developing fitness, focus, and discipline. It is also a very practical and highly effective method of self-defense – especially in crowded urban settings and small spaces such as lifts, local trains, metros, and markets. The Head Instructor at Wing Chun Fist, Suresh Nair, has over 20 years of experience in practicing and teaching martial arts. He is currently undergoing instructor-level study of Wing Chun Kung Fu with Hong Kong-based Grand Master Leung Ting, a direct student of Grand Master Ip Man. Suresh Nair is also a second-degree black belt in Shotokan Karate, certified by JKA (Japan Karate Association) in Tokyo.

The 'simple' art of the punch:
"You don't punch from the arm or even the shoulder. You punch from the foot."

Jack Dempsey (World Heavyweight Champion,1919-26), wrote in his book 'Championship Fighting' that the second knuckle, the one next to the pinky, is where the so-called 'power line' emerges from.
Interestingly, his 3-knuckle landing (middle/index, second and pinky) is similar to what most Wing Chun practitioners advocate.

"People outside of the boxing fraternity do not realize what complexity is involved in throwing just one single punch.
You don't punch from the arm or even the shoulder. You punch from the foot.
The wave of movement travels from the toe, through the foot, knee, hip and chest, sears up the arm, forearm, wrist and finally into the knuckles.
Then the index knuckle and middle knuckle are the two which need to connect. These two knuckles flow from a direct line straight up your arm. The other knuckles don't have the same support, so if you connect badly with the other two you are likely to hurt your hand.
Sometimes you connect correctly with the two correct knuckles and that is the perfect punch. When that happens they just go. Lights out - good night Charlie.
If that is done correctly, which is hard enough, you then have to complete the procedure, which involves getting your fist back into the correct position by your chin, your body is pulled back into form and you are ready to go again.
If you can do that meticulously, you will have probably taken two or three years to master it - and now you know just one punch."
- Chris Eubank, British former professional boxer who held the World Boxing Organization (WBO) middleweight and super-middleweight titles between 1990-95, and is ranked by BoxRec as the third best British super-middleweight boxer of all time

In response to Zain's chest level attack, I execute an outer tan sao with a hip snap and weight shift to deflect the attack before imemdiately driving forward with a stepping punch to the side of his jaw.
Possible finishing techniques include a flurry of punches, a disabling kick to the knee, or a leg sweep.
Next, this self-defense technique will be drilled in response to stronger/faster straight or hook punches to the chest or face level with a forward advancing step.

A simple reaction drill with Ahilya and Zain employing weight shift and waist / hip snap to deflect a chest-level attack - using pak sao, or slapping hand - just enough to find a way in and target the attacker's center and destroy his balance, using any of a number of finishing techniques.
More in future videos.

In response to my attempted roundhouse slap to his face, Zain 'catches' my slap with a yang tan sao and immediately moves sideways and back in at an angle (plum flower footwork), before delivering a sideways palm strike to my ribs.
