Yip man siu lim tao

[DeepWhiteMusic]

i love YIP MAN he's a hero!

[frozenchillpill]

bahahah was that bruce lee passing by? and I don't care how small he may look, respect Ip Man and what he's done. A true master. Btw the video is mad old...it's like dinosaur radioshack XD looks like an alien recording

[rikirikado]

Did LT learn all his wing chun from this video? Explains alot.

[hkwingtsunboy]

this footage was from LT he was the one who film this. He owned this for several years before he gave it back to Yip man's sons

[milfmummy]

the late great yip man. one of the worlds' foremost wing chun masters. I personally glad that yip " modified " the wing chun system, as it has led to the survival of the wing chun style. If it had been left as it was, no doubt it would have died out of existence like many styles before, because many would have viewed it " impractical " for self defense in a modern world. thanks sifu, you were the greatest.

[conorthealien]

wow a lot of people who post comments on here actually know a lot about wing chun.i just watched a video of some other guy doing wing chun and it was shit,it was diferent from this proper wing chun,and this is what i do cos my lineage came from this guy

[lYakuzal]

I hate it how Wing Tsun was separated from Wing Chun...

Wing Chun should've been kept as one whole martial art, Wing Tsun is just another lame excuse to modernize Wing Chun by implementing violence.

[tropicvibe]

I'm shocked at the very few comments and ratings for this historical piece of media. The 1st Wing Chun practitioner I ever met about 20 yrs ago used to perform SNT exactly as seen here. RIP Yip Man

[hulkout666]

Actually many people think that the techniques in Chum Kiu and Biu Jee are more advanced than Sil Lim Tao. This is not true. They are simply other techniques. To this day, I am still refining things I learned on my first day like Tan Sao and Pak Sao. It's like saying in the alphabet that x is more advanced than a. That's the point of Wing Chun. We don't have tons of techniques, but to really master it takes a lifetime.

[yzotop111]

@hulkout666 well i agree with you at some point but siu lim tao are basic moves that you use all times even in chum kiu and biu jee , my sifu explained to me like that siu lim tao is 50 kg weight , chum kiu like 100 kg, biu jee 150 and if youre not able to take up 50 kg you cant take up 100 kg so i wouldnt say its the same level. but i think its sure that a man that learns siu lim tao 5 years would beat a man that would get from siu lim tao to biu jee for 5 years

[MERVILLE3]

Alpha, I had a WT guy from Germany come in to my place to challenge me. I got him to chi sao with Michael, a student of mine with only 5 months training. The other guy was a student of a very famous teacher in Germany. Michael could not help bt lut sau as the other guy's hands had nothing. He had 10 years training

[magicmandaniel]

you seem to really know wot ur talking about, im interested to know who your sifu is? wot lineage?? thanks :)

[gaivrn]

a lot of people arenlt learning it right.. there are lots of " sifu's out there that doesn;t know waht they are doing, doesn;t teach you exactly so you will fail go back to him and pay him more money etc etc... some of those are even official now lol....

[MERVILLE3]

Alpha, please don't take this the wrong way but please do not do Wing Tsun (Leung Ting). I have trained with Wing Chun people from many sources and this is the weakest. They are very aggresssive which seems cool but they have no tendon strenght as they do not take their time with SNT. I am so sorry but I mean this for YOUR benifit

[gaivrn]

leung ting is awesome sifu if he likes you. anyways 20 years ago he teaches dfferently than now.. that says a lot..

[MERVILLE3]

Blitz, Biu Jee is wgainst all the structures in Wing Chun and teaches one how to recover them when things have gone wild. It's the least important form in Wing Chun. There's no secrets at all. SNT is the most important. It must be done slowly (Sam pai fut alone should take at least 20 minutes each time). Peace to you all

[jonnyblaze777]

Yip Man was the best, hands down. Guy was skinny but could bust anyone up and no one does wing chun like him. Jah Bless Yip and bruce2. peace

[AlphaWinner28]

Wow, I'm in awe. A true legend of the art. I have only started Wing Tsun 2 months ago, and it's fair to say I will stick with it for life now. Watching this video of Yip Man performing the Siu Nim Tao is incredible. Thanks for posting!

[glovemtb]

Thanks !!!!!!! for video documentation of a legend.

[JunFanJimi]

What I love about Wing Chun is how they all go on about it's high levels of authenticity and accuracy, yet not one Wing Chun school agrees with another about the motions in the forms or their applications. Just beautifully, hypocritically, ridiculous how styles encage the devotee to them.

[aethr69]

Wing Chun is a very simple style of martial art. It is the easiest of all the styles i know. Such a simple art leaves itself open to many interpretations. I can say without a doubt that trad WC as known by the founders no longer exists. Its natural for people to take something and add themselves into it. Anyone who says theirs is authentic is lying. How do you judge authenticity of a style traditionally handed down orally? U cant, All you can do is look at lineage

[Blitzzeig]

I agree with you and honestly those who want to teach the "Authentic Yip Man Wing Chun Kung Fu" should, IN MY OPINION, teach it according to what he left behind, aka these videos or at least from his songs Ip Chun and Ip Ching

[gaivrn]

i saw one of his sons. perform.. the one i saw not sure which one.. is not really kung fu material.. regardless the traditional wing chun there is such thing.. when yip man taught leng ting, seung tim etc that generation was traditional.. it died very fast afterwards so it seems to me... I right now am learning from that very lineage.. I am learning from yip mans branch than tsiu wan's side.. tsiu wan's side is too sneaky for me lol

[engine2truck6]

HEY! I love this video! I am a western boxer (golden gloves). I studied ving tsun only a little, because the sticking seemed very useful. Of course, you cannot grab onto the oppenent with hands in Western boxing, but let me tell you, I look at video of my own fights, and I use parts of sticking and turning my oppenent ALL the TIME!!!!

Thanks for posting this video, so we can see the little idea as it was by Yip Man!!!!

[dwezus]

aertht69, Why you talk such bullsht. Why would yipman bother make a video at old age to fool people and not showing the real thing. The ownly reason i see he made this video is to keep ving tsun real. Maybe things have changed, certainly in some lineages. But to question his intentions is realy showing no respect. And, how do you know what he thaught and to who? have you been his own student? Or, are you just replayin'your sifu, who probably wasn't either.

[aethr69]

Actually, my sifu was a student of Ip Chun and Pan Nam. Hong Kong (Ip Man) wing chun is considered a modified form of traditional wing chun. Fatshan and Guangzhou Wing Chun are considered traditional. If you knew Fatshan or Guangzhou WC you would notice some of the modifications. It's easy to tell because his second section breaks the rule of three and I know he did not teach Ip Chun this way.

[aethr69]

This isn't even how Yip Man taught SLT. It might be him doing it but would a master teach his students everything he knows? Most of his students were taught like this for good reasons. This version breaks at least one fundamental concept in wing chun. If you learnt this version from someone with Yip Man lineage it is highly probable that Yip Man didn't like him.

[aethr69]

if you don't believe me then study his fook sau to wu sau. This is not consistent with his own style of chi sao.

[aethr69]

Yip Man was originally taught modified Wing Chun from Chan Wa Soon then was taught traditional Wing Chun from Leung Bak who was the son of Leung Jan, who was renowned for his Iron Palm technique. The story goes that Leung Jan taught modified Wing Chun to Chan because he feared an uprising by him which in the end did actually happen. Chan forced Bak to leave Fatshan after the deaths Bak's father and brother.

[aethr69]

Im not saying that modified Wing Chun is not as good as trad. Wing Chun because both have evolved beyond what they were and are based on similar principles. Im simply telling the story as i see it and know it.

[castroherman]

Hey thanks for the info, could you point me to a youtube video or website that shows the version of sil lum tao he taught students he liked. I practice Choy Li Fat, but I'm very interested in Wing Chun. Thank you.

[aethr69]

Haven't found one yet. All material I've found shows only the modified version. Ip Man's 108 move SLT. If you can find a kwoon that has a sifu taught by one of his sons, you might be shown the traditional style. Mostly the differences are elaborations in movement that lead to modified versions and would be considered unneccessary in trad wc.

[zzlee14]

WHats missing are the secrets some brother and sister have them. If they trust and respect you you may lern from them. you trusted with gifts.

[tellingsnotselling]

aethr69 - for the benefit of others ('If you can find a kwoon that has a sifu taught by one of his sons, you might be shown the traditional style'), I studied under Sifu Colin Ward of Leeds. He is taught directly by Ip Chun, Ip Man's son. Though Ip Chun recognises many Sifus in the UK there are only four that he officially states are his representatives in the UK for teaching pure Wing Chun: Sifu Colin Ward, Sifu Shawn Rawcliffe, Sifu Samuel Kwok, Sifu Martin Tse.

[daosifu]

You say nothing but the truth!

[rgvwingchun]

Ip Man's own sons were the ones who suggested to Ip Man that he leave a record of his own teachings as others were already teaching different things in his name (not going to mention names,cough cough). These were filmed roughly 10 days before he died and passed to Ip Ching's wife for safe keeping. I hardly doubt he left a false record to his own sons. Other forms weren't filmed because he was already too weak. see uncut dummy form. He is hanging holding on to the jong tiredly

[Blitzzeig]

not to mention that biu jee (bill jee, bil je, biu tze) is a well guarded style that Ip Man and his sons, according to what I gather, believe should only be taught to more advanced practitioners due to the lethal nature and extreme practice of it

[rgvwingchun]

well its not because of its "lethal nature"...in and of itself, its as deadly as a bowl of wet noodles...its just that the concepts and the movements make no sense apart from Siu Lim Tao and Chum Kiu. Ip Chun himself has said that there are "no secrets" in the system itself..."its just a matter if you are ready for the concepts or not"....Ip Ching himself does not do Biu Jee as his father taught but has modified the form order and some movements to suit his own needs...

[rgvwingchun]

I believe WSL taught that one other reason that Biu Jee was not taught to early students was because Biu Jee, in a round about way, reveals and corrects the potential weakness of Siu Lim Tao and Chum Kiu....if these concepts went "out the door" it was possible for fighters to exploit the weakness in early students and discourage them in their WC training should they lose in a fight...there is another of Ip Man's student's take on the saying "Biu Jee does not go out the door"

[Blitzzeig]

That makes sense to me = D

[Threefingers123]

hung fa yi is the true wing chun!!!!

[Threefingers123]

this is yip mans virsion but the true virsion is the hung fa yI !!!!

[PICLex]

What i love about seeing Yip man and Gary Lam, is the way they are so grounded. Its the fundamental element in anything huh? From it comes all power, control, speed, position. Inspiring to see it.

[wingchunboxer]

after seeing alot of shit forms on youtube its good to see the right one done for a change. the club im in do this exactly the same im honoured

[BetterthanBruceLee]

I'm better, check out my 'wing chun dummy detailed' form - I do it the best

[NagualElias]

this is the fellow that originally taught Bruce Lee

[ShadowReubenKee]

That is correct, Bruce Lee was taught Wing Chun Kung-Fu from the age 14-18 from Grandmaster Yip Man. May you both rest in peace.

[shaolinlongfist]

if you put the volume up to full can you hear music in the background...cus i can

[wingchunslaywer]

Nice to see the form done correctly as only Yip Man can do, note after the tan sau a smooth huen sau to Woo sau NO jerking motion, more students should watch this form and take note.

[istar1000]

yes well spotted

[IcemanASP]

My mistake I meant century :)

[IcemanASP]

A great master,one of the greatest of the past decade

[tigergohunting]

He passed away almost 4 decades ago.

[BestSroPLayer]

yip man was the th seihng of bruce lee

[heckald]

uhhh dont u mean sifu?

[sam4freedom74]

Sifu, not Sehing. Sehing is older brother.

[telakanesis]

look wing chung came from a woman if they tell you any thing else they r fucking up history but you know how people are it noting worng with doing a style a woman made read up on it it was yes burse did a style by a woman and kick ass

[narayanr]

I suggest you "google" the "Ving Tsun Museum". There you will find the TRUTH! Or are you telling me that you are more knowledgeable than the fine folks that have written such authoritative material? if so, then I won't even bother answering your next "Ego-Driven" reply, no matter how insulting to my intelligence it may be. Why don't you read the article?

[telakanesis]

what i am say a woman my have strat off the system a then a man may have took what she had a made it what it is to day i am not say i know more of any thing i just knoereal master's andso many people so many story thta thay wil naver know people make up thing's to make them self look more that what thay are

[telakanesis]

i hop you all know this style was made by a woman check your history it was it will take eo long to tell you why

[narayanr]

You should get your history straight, buddy!

[telakanesis]

what ever it was if you look at it and like i saud check you history read book's check the back ground of the style it so said that people take up style's and don't know ware it came from and why if you grab at a woman chest what is the frist thing she do if she don't want u to look at the move it,s not hard read William Chung book,s a bout the history you will see man did not make every thing dam

[narayanr]

Shut up and practice your Siu Nim Tao, woman!

[hawkfist69]

Sadly Yip Man's students dishonor their master and their art with their petty infighting. Seems all the squabbles in WC are in the Yip Man lineage. If I decide to look into WC it'll be Pan Nam's WC and far away from Yip Man's legacy of infighting senseless boasting.

[ConnyGranlund]

is that bruce lee, running in the corner? LOL :P

[nobber1233]

I know you posted this a long time ago, but I'm new to youtube! I think it may be Bruce, and the kid at the end is Brandon. I'm not 100% certain, but I heard that Bruce took Brandon to Yip man the last time he was in HK and asked to film him doing the sets for WC. However, I heard he had refused. Looks like maybe he didn't!

[narayanr]

Simple;...yet profound!
