Video: See how a woman can break a man's chokehold
Video from Texas Moy Tung Kung Fu showing the effectiveness of centerline and horse training, practicing forms, conditioning drills and Chi Sao. In Ving Tsun we also study and drill practical applications like this, but we train Chi Sao (advanced exercise) with classmates by hitting to the chest. It's safer and more difficult; if you can hit someone in the chest, you can hit their face easily. Notice the energy in her hands - if she hit him in the face, she would bust up his eyes, nose, teeth and cheekbones, and a real fight would quickly be over. The chops to the throat - it's over. This ability can only be gained by dedicated training, but you will be surprised by how much kung fu you'll have in just a year or two.
The Richmond, VA Moy Yat Kung Fu Academy has a women-only training program, as do the Texas schools and many of the other Moy Tung-lineage schools.
