the series on Wing-Chun blocks, we're going to go through some basic blocks. So we have

Wu-sau. We showed you before the basic move. wu-sau is deflecting the person with the wrist

pushing forward like this. As he's punching, I'm deflecting with wu-sau across the wrist.

I can do it on the outside, this is called the outside of the person, outside gate, or

the inside gates, wu-sau across here. So this will be wu-sau on the outside, this would

be wu-sau on the inside. I can do it against the other arm, wu-sau on the inside, and then

he punches here, wu-sau on the outside. Or I can combine them; wu-sau on the outside

here, wu-sau on the outside here. Okay, that's the basic blocks for wu-sau. Next one we're

going to go through after wu-sau, we have pak-sau. Pak-sau if he punches here, I can

pak-sau, which is a slap block on the inside. I can pak-sau on the outside. All these blocks

when you deflect, you're going to also hit at the same time you deflect. So if he punches

here, as I delfect I go to hit. If I do it the same thing on the inside, I can deflect

and hit from here. I could also pak-sau the back arm, and hit from here. Or I could pak-sau

the back arm this way, come across. So, pak-sau is a slap block, slapping the person away

with the hand. Okay, you can use the left side here, or you can use the right side.

You can use both both of them. So we have wu-sau, pak-sau, tong-sau. Tong-sau, the palm

is up, tong-sau means palm-up block. The palm is up deflecting the punch away; that can

be on the outside, or it can also be on the inside deflecting the punch away this way.

Same thing. So if he punches with this hand, I can tong-sau on this side, or I can tong-sau

on the outside here. So you have wu-sau, pak-sau, tong-sau. Jum-sau. Jum-sau is like wu-sau;

pushing forward with the wrist, but it sinks down. So if he's punching more chest level,

I would jum-sau, push down the wrist to deflect and punch. If he punches with this arm, same

thing, I jum-sau, push down the wrist and punch. So you have wu-sau, pak-sau, tong-sau,

jum-sau, bong-sau. Bong-sau. Bong-sau is the next one. Bong-sau as he's punching here,

I'm deflecting with the arm; Bong-sau means "Wings of Crane", deflects with the arm the

back arm is up. Wing-Chun style is a combination of Snake and Crane styles. This would be the

wing arm. And then I can go into a strike. Or, I can bong-sau this arm if he punches

from here, I can bong-sau on the inside this way. So bong-sau is deflecting the back arm

is up in a wu-sau position deflecting. So again the back arm he punches here, I bong-sau

across here; he punches here, I can bong-sau this way as well with the back arm. Lop-sau.

Lop-sau is a grab. When he's punching here I make a circular motion like this, not passing

my shoulder, palm is facing him; I grab the arm, and that can go into a lop-sau grab.

So on the outside, block the arm here. Same thing if he punches here. He throws a punch,

I lop-sau on the inside. I can do that with both arms. He punches with this arm, I can

lop and hit him here. He punches with this arm again, I can lop and hit him here. So

those are some of the basic blocks: You have wu-sau, pak, tong, jum, bong, lop. The next

section we're going to go through combining the blocks with kicks.
