Interview with Moy Tung MY3 Sifu Moy Lung Barry O’Brien, published in Issue 44 of Wing Chun Illustrated, October 2018. Sifu Moy Lung is also a grand student disciple of Grandmaster Moy Yat, and a member of his GSS Association for grand special students. He teaches the Ving Tsun system of martial arts, for fitness and self-defense.
While in the classroom I should always be sinking my horse and seeking to relax and minimize my use of energy. This is constructive Kung Fu. I am building and constructing a stronger horse and better relaxation because I am in a safe environment around people I know and trust.
However, destructive Kung Fu is totally different. It is destructive Kung Fu because I am trying to destroy my opponent and I am not concerned about how it affects my Kung Fu. If I am in a fight I’m not thinking about relaxing my shoulders or how low I am in my horse. I am not going to be in a constructive horse. I will be in a fighting crouch which is an instinctive position where you bend your knees in preparation for fight or flight. I will not be in a training horse because the horse is an attempt to create immobility.
