  • I like the idea-

    that Wing Chun deals with that range were two fighters' hands are stuck in the clinch. The chi-sao sensetivity practice seems very functional as well-in fact we often go over that in JKD. I am not so sure about going into a punching match with one's chin out like that-and the weight on the back foot must make side to side movment hard-Can some one talk about the street use of this art-in a situation do these guys go in with elbows down and face oopen like that?

  • H**o !

    It looks like a bunch of girls fighting, all they need to do now is grab some hair and it would be perfect.

    • Girl Fight

      Wing Chun was invented by a woman according to the legend. The character of Wing Chun is to win without use of much power or brute force. Just be clever.

      And btw: you will always lose a fight with a girl. She will just slip some poison in your drink :)

  • I like the flowerpot

    In Wang Kiu's house there is a nice flowerpot on top of his dummy. I like it.

  • Wing Chun

    Nice trainingvideo, how old is Sifu Wang Kiu now? He has been one of the first students of Grandmaster Yip Man.

    • dude...

      you and the poster are the same guy, right ?...

      I know Wong Kiu is in a wheelchair now and his Wing Chun was always mediocre at best. He trained for about 2 years under Yip Man, but mostly with Wong Shun Leung, being YM's assistant.. don't spread these myths we have plenty of those already... Ever saw a picture with Wong Kiu and Yip Man ?

  • What the hell is this?

    I'm sorry, but what on earth is this? Supposedly wing chun? you have got to be kidding me!
    I detect no structure in their fighting whatsoever, just some mindless bitch-slapping (and that's an insult to bitches imho!).
    Footwork? ever heard of a stance? this is an insult to serious wing chun/ving tsun practicioners!
    btw, since when does *ing *un use a Kwan Dao?

    • Check your history

      This is just an impression of the training. There are advanced people and beginners in this compilation. Of course there is structure in the fighting. There are only a few Sifu's who have learned the Kwan Dao from Yip Man. It is not an important form but only a traditional form for teachers. If you look at the Mainland Wing Chun styles they also have Kwan Dao forms. So Wing Chun uses a Kwan Dao since the beginning of Wing Chun.

    • Kwan No

      The Kwan Do is only taught by Wong Kiu who was trained in some traditional kung fu styles before entering Wing Chun. He introduced it to make up for the lack of 'flashy-ness' in Wing Chun. The Kwan do form has no relation to the principles of Wing Chun, as is easy to see. It has been taken straight from older kung fu styles. Can't hurt to train it, though, it might improve your stance.

  • to all of you that think this is weak.

    wing chun is not about how strong your punches are, it's about interception and having close combat.
