Let's discuss bong and/or the bong lap drill, that would be great. I did try to discuss earlier but nobody wanted to.
Great idea! Since this is a very prominent aspect of nearly every Phillip Bayer video on youtube, I would love to hear more about how WSLVT views it and what it trains.
From a Pin Sun Wing Chun perspective it is not nearly as "central" a drill as it appears to be in WSLVT.......we see this as a relatively simple and straight-forward beginner's drill that is just one of many. We do it a little differently than what you see in most Ip Man lineages. You see it here at the 1:35 minute mark:
The punch is a "Gwai Choi", which is a type of "back-knuckle", and not a straight punch. The forearms stay in contact at the "pivot point" the entire time and do not disengage. When used outside of the drill, rather than using a common pivot at the mutual forearm contact, from the Bong the Gwai Choi swings around as the elbow pins the opponent's arm just above the elbow and the strike is aimed at the bridge of the nose.
