thanks for this. I often wonder where to put my vision, and had so far found the eyes were the best place, but hadn’t considered the elbows/knees. i will give this a go when next at class on thursday

I was trained too look at the the spot between the dantien(chinese) or, hara,(japenese), and the solar plexus along the centerline about the belly button,,,it affords peripheral vision too the entire body from knees too neck.giving the ability to see knees (Kick indicators),elbows, and shoulders. (upper body strike indicators)…my style is southern chinese kempo (five animals style)

I tried your method and it was effective, however I am of the novice opinion that if you examine the picture, the right shoulder and chest had to move in order for you to strike with your right arm. It seems logical to me to watch the chest because it usually moves first before the fist follows through, especially when protecting yourself from the average person off of the streets. I emphasize that this is a novice opinion however. Thanks for reading it.

Very happy to read about peripheral vision. To me, I don’t focus on where i’m looking (elbow, shoulder…) I just learned to keep all the body (feet until top of head) in my peripheral vision. In fact, the most important thing to me is not to know what will hit me, but only the trajectory, the speed and the distance between a thing (ball, fist, elbow, nunchaku, don’t care, something is moving in my peripheral vision) and me AND elavuating in the really close future where this thing will be. The peripheral vision is a expert to determine that faster that the focal vision. 100ms faster than the focal vision.
So, with this evaluation of the trajectory and speed of this travelling object (the body of my opponent and his moving segments) that I perceive, I make (try to in fact, practicing for) the decision to move my body (or not) to be in the best place to not be hit and to be at the best place and position to be efficient in my conter-attack.

Nicely said Sifu, i dont practice wing chun, but shaolin 5 style fist. peripheral vision usage is hard to explain to some people, when i said the shoulders, i also meant the use of peripherals within the shoulders for punching, and the telegraphed knee for a kick. Feeling your opponent is very important, but that technique also requires a bit of anticipation and the use of peripheral, in all to be more aware of your opponents movements is the point. I think you pulled that of well with your demonstration. Im no sifu, but ive been in kung fu for almost 20 years now. Have a good one.
