هذا الرجل قد كشف سرا عظيما !!
كم هو كريم و سخي حقا !!
غيره من المدربين و المعلمين يحتفظون بهذه الاسرار ويبخلون بها حتى على من يقدر و يثمن و يستحقها !
اما هذا الأستاذ فهو كريم النفس
سخي العطاء..بارك الله فيه و عليه و زاده صحة و سلامة و عمرا ..آمين

Long live martialman and thumbs up to master yap boh's teaching🤠

This principal is a major part of Wu hao / Wu Li ( the two families from Wu I Xiang Tai ji ) They always stress the tip of the elbow extending deep into the ground, whilst keeping the feeling of an egg or tangerine inside the arm pit. They also say the elbows prees down to the knees, and the knees push up to the elbows. Note that it is this branch of Tai ji that wrote 70 to 90% of the classics.

Sifu loves teaching. Sign of true Sifu

Within Ving Tsun, many of us dream of sinking our elbows. It represents the essence of the art in its purest form, and its study and mastery is a lifelong pursuit. A great contribution, and thank you.

Greetings from Malaysia, where Master Yap is teaching. I looked up the course and I must say 299 USD is a lot for us Malaysian. I studied Ving Tsun under the tutelage of Sifu David Peterson, one of Sigung Wong Shun Leong best student. And the real man who taught Bruce Lee. For someone who is very well known in the Wing Chun community all over the world, his classes only cost 200 Malaysian Ringgit a month. It's just something to consider about. Cheers

Master Yap shares so freely, I have benefited greatly 🙏

Just remember this takes a lot of practice to turn off the muscles and relax so it works. Awesome stuff

To  the question about   Stance.


I am not standing in the stance, I’m just standing normally as you do when you wait for the bus. However, my spine and my strings, the myofascial meridians are engaged. I stand this way for the sake of the demo., So that I can demonstrate the heavy elbows without bending my knees and to be able to generate power without throwing my wei.


For combat applications, we use a stance from our faith ancestor system, it is a small stat Tan, they allow us to stay rooted yet give us agility. Combine this. With the sunken elbows, we can deliver powerful strikes. I thought the power is also useful for takedowns.

Love this so much. I've watched it multiple times! A calm manner coupled with helpful displays of effective use of the sunken elbow - and how to do it wrong - make this an invaluable lesson. Very generous of both of you to share the insights. Thank you!

Perhaps the best martial arts video I've ever seen. Truly excellent beautifully explained. And thank you very much. I am sharing this with my students and anybody, a good character who will listen

This is gold. Master Yab's teaching is very very good. I can recommend his only courses too! 🤩

A very good explanation of ergonomically correct functioning shoulder blade.
A few month ago I came across a small write up titled: The underappreciated muscle. It was all about the lower trapezium, a shoulder-blade stabilizer.

Master Yap shows what happens when the shoulder blade is held in the correct position by the lower trap, and what happens when it is not. This means, how weak the shoulder is when instead of the lower trap the Latissimus dorsi is used. The lats are arm movement muscles, not stabilizer ones, and compensating muscles.

Why is this so important?
The stabilizer muscles give the body the structure, or strength, and no efforts is needed, and equally so, there is no strength when the mobility muscles are engaged.
After over 2 years of weekly PT and 3years of weekly massage for my shoulders (decades of bad position because of two shoulder injuries), I did get a good understanding what happens when the shoulder-blades are not stable, or worse, not in the correct position.
Sure, this is what therapists say, or many from their teachers/masters, it but what it really means I found out when I was at the martial camp. No structure nothing works, being no ergonomically correct aligned body nothing works.

Master Yap mentioned the hip. At the camp, Master Yap showed me the importance of the feet, and what some little foot movent can do when there is a good structure/alignment of the body.

Why did I post this? Who did not collect some some injuries doing martial practices? Late in life they will show up and reveal how detrimental they are for normal, body movements, the chi flow, and of course, the fascia. If one has difficulties learning marshal aspects like what Master Yap shows here, or then apply them, it may well be an old injury we don't even know about.

Good stuff Keiren for bringing the internal arts to the fore in a well presented and respectful way. Thanks to Master Yap for his clear explanations of his art. I am of the Huang Sheng Shyan taiji and WC tradition but very much enjoy these videos from other but related arts.

Great work you are doing - You really help the Martial arts world :D

Thanks Kieran again, great timing

I love Master Yap's clear explanations and demonstrations. I am never disappointed. As a Southern practitioner it makes perfect sense and really develops my understanding. Thank you  very much for this 🙏

Sifu Yap Boh Heong is amazing! So much knowledge in so little time!
