There's nothing more that changes the fight and its intensity as "unleashing hell" unto your opponent. This is a primitive and incredibly powerful source of untapped energy that many of us have a hard time in expressing - especially in the kung fu school setting.
We train bong sao, we train killer strikes to the neck, and we train how to attack the groin - but how often do you train the ability to 1) unleash your inner beast and 2) control this so that you can maximize your wing tsun ability rather than just swing wildly at your opponent.
Unleashing this animal is like a backup battery pack - its limited in energy but its packed with juice.
Even during sparring, we usually suppress this emotion as to not let things get out of hand - but this shouldn't be confused with allowing the killer instinct emotions come into play.
In class, we train this during the two partner drills. We are encouraged to fake it until you make it and to not be shy. it is not easy. But man, when u are in that zone (usually for only a few minutes for me), the sweat pours and the legs are shaking...
Until then.
NOTE; I won't be back on until June! Mark your calendar!
