WING CHUN IN THE MOVIES - VOL.I

[sexyboriquaman22]

this vid got some good scenes, i wish i knew the title of those movies so i could watch them.

[kmp3000]

Loving the tune!!!!! And the Wing Chun.

[MrTennisMenace]

Compared to Ip Man all these other movies are kind of weird because it is pure kung fu and no plot to it lmao. All it is, is to prove who is better and they just full blown go out and fight each other.

[hulkout666]

@MrTennisMenace That's the way all the old kung fu films are. The plot is always really simplistic and stupid. It's just an excuse to cram as many fights into an hour and a half long film as you can. A lot of the fights, choreography, and skill demonstrated are really cool. But if you're looking for a complete film with action, plot, and character development, you won't find it with these old films. Ip Man is the kind of film my wife can watch and enjoy. She'll never watch these films with me.

[TheGoldenWildcat]

They don't make them like this anymore!!

[Amar0K86]

what's the name of the song?

[JollySilver]

00:59 - Best move ever...

[deicruxified]

ip man was just sensationalized... this one's better...

[selinah3]

they need to make more movies that show wing chun.maybe a modern day story.

[Shindai]

Good on you for including Warriors Two and Prodigal Son, this video wouldn't be complete without them.

[xcalibur4ever]

shyte, i was going to make one of these! oh well, guess i'll just enjoy yours. :)

[SayntMatthew7]

can we get a list of them plz :D im a student of sifu sam hing fai chan which is ip ching and ip chuns student

[aminul1984]

4:09 is very good, reminds me of form 1 (little idea)

[adolescent900]

please list the movies, thanks. :)

[lefkosippotis]

guys...not every close hand style is wing chun :P

and most of these scenes are into northern fist wushu..

[Cascaan]

Didn't he completely customize his wing Chun Style to become his own Intercepting Fist thing?

[fdesa12]

@Cascaan

Yup. His philosophy of the intercepting fist is based on the Pak sao, which he was proficient at in Wing Chun. You should google up Hawkins Cheung and look around his site for an article about Bruce Lee as they were friends and fellow Wing Chun peers when studying under Ip Man.

[ernDog1978]

what the name of the second movie

[livendapast]

Decendant of Wing Chung. (Eagles Showdown). It is a very good film, i have it.

[mcmcc2]

@livendapast I thought I saw that movie and it doesn't ring a bell with the clips here...I will have to go back and check it out again.

[Liberate006A]

Bruce Lee ( Li Shoue Lung) Was a real master of Wing Chun. His art Jeet Kune Do evolved from Wing Chun.

[tampasifu]

Speaking as a Wing Chun sifu and an apprentice instructor in Jeet Kune Do, I have to say that Lee was not a master in Wing Chun. He was very talented in that art, but he only learned half of the Mook Yan Johng Kuen and none of the Luk Dim Bun Guan or Baht Cham Dao. Some sources close to him, particularly Wong Sheung Lung, say he never learned Biu Jee, either.

[Liberate006A]

Yes. i was talking with my Wing Chun Sifu and he told me the same thing the other day. Thanks for the correction.

[sabre926]

Luk Dim Bun Guan and Baht Cham Dao...what part of Wing Chung is that? I mean, can you tell me more about those two techinques? I'd like to know.

[tampasifu]

@sabre926 The Luk Dim Bun Guan is the "Six-and-a-half-point pole", also known as "rat-tail staff" or "dragon pole." Depending on which branch of Wing Chun you practice, it can be between seven and 13 feet long. The "Baht Cham Dao" means "Eight Direction Knives," or more commonly called, butterfly swords. They are the weapons sets of Wing Chun.

[sabre926]

Ohhh! What other weapons can be used with the Wing Chun Fist?

[tampasifu]

@sabre926 For most branches of Wing Chun, those are the only weapons. I've heard some branches might include a broadsword set. The BCD and the LDBK were added to the style one or two generations into the system. There are different theories as to how they were added to Wing Chun, probably from the Hung Gar system.

[sabre926]

@tampasifu

What about Choy Li Fut? Does Wing Chun have a connection with that discipline? Some say yes, while others say no.

[tampasifu]

@sabre926 The only connection I can find is that Hung Gar contributed to both systems. Wing Chun and Hung Gar were practiced by Red Boat sailors, an anti-Manchu revolutionary group which used a traveling opera troupe as its front. I don't know much about Choy Li Fut, but I think it was created much later than WC or HG.

[Nhia89]

@tampasifu Yea Bruce Lee never learned Biu Jee form because he moved to the US and because he was teaching other ppl and foriengers Wing Chun and Yip Man didn't like that so he never advance in Wing Chun.

[hulkout666]

@tampasifu Having spent quite a bit of time training in Wing Chun, I now understand that Bruce Lee was very good, but he was not a Wing Chun master. There were many things in Wing Chun that he was actually quite poor at. My Sigung did Chi Sao with him and said that his legs were weak and his structure wasn't that good. That's not to say he wasn't a good martial artist. He made JKD for himself and made it work. But he was not a Wing Chun master and really wasn't qualified to teach it.

[tampasifu]

@hulkout666 Lee cross-trained in other Kung Fu styles. He knew some forms and techniques from Hung Gar, Eagle Claw and Wu Taijiquan, as well as some foil fencing and western boxing. He was constantly experimenting with other arts when he arrived in the U.S. and incorporated a lot of what he learned from those systems. As Dan Inosanto said at a seminar I attended, "In 1966, he must have changed the curricula at his school every two months."

[hulkout666]

@tampasifu I heard the same thing about him changing things around all the time. One of the best things that Lee brought to the world was the concept of combining different arts and making it into your own. I know he wasn't the first one to do it, but in the 20th century he was. I don't feel he was qualified to teach Wing Chun, but he was certainly qualified to teach and develop his own martial art which is exactly what he did and he was the best at it.

[fdesa12]

@hulkout666

Was your Sigung Hawkins Cheung? That's what he said in an article too, that Bruce had great upper body strength, but his footwork was weak.

[hulkout666]

@fdesa12 No, my Sigung was Moy Yat. He was a couple of years older than Bruce and Hawkins. A lot of myths have been told about how incredible Bruce Lee was. The bottom line is that he was only human. Yes he was very good, but he was not superhuman. In fact, the era most people associate with his peak (Enter The Dragon, Return Of The Dragon) was his weakest and he was in fact near death. Everyone is always so obsessed with being ripped, they don't realize how dangerous that really is.

[mcmcc2]

@Liberate006A I am a student in the Moy Yat family and a Sifu as well, and I have always been told just the opposite. Although very talented and the spearhead for the martial arts movement that got most americans involved in it...he had not finished the Ving Tsun training, no pole, no swords, and never finished the 3rd form or jong. Even without all of this, he was still pretty impressive.

[999taira]

How good is Jacky Chan in Wing Chun? Does he have a degree in the art?

[Happyanand69]

@999taira ; ''Degrees''... There is no such thing in kung fu . And if there is then it's meant for western students... But in the traditional Chinese kung fu You're either a master or a student. And most masters agree that they are students for their entire life.

I think Jackie chan has a certain knowledge of wing chun and a certain skill in kung fu but he is hardly a master since he focuses on movies.

[999taira]

Thx for the info.

[Happyanand69]

@999taira ; np, I'm just spreading what my sifu taught me.

[jaikaransingh]

This is supposed to be good?

[YoshiroShin]

@jaikaransingh Yes

[jaikaransingh]

If u like that -good.

But there are scenes so much more complex and simple at thew same time along with them being more dynamic and much less predictable. To each there own, I guess.

Canada? Small world

[KOKUJINCHAN]

One of my fav. vids! Wing Chun: Simple, but deadly.

[Scyeth]

watching people hit the wooden dummies is always interesting ^^

[Takethisnamebitch]

From about 5:25 to 7:35 the movie is Warriors Two. At about 5:30ish, Sammo Hung (spelling?) is shown. I don't know how much Wing Chun he knows, but I do know that he was the choreographer for the movie Ip Man, and that he was the guy fighting Bruce Lee at the beginning of Enter the Dragon. Great WC movie, Warriors Two is!

[1UpGamers]

Sammo Hung trained in Wing Chun during his time at acting school, and since then I believe he's taken it up as a personal style of choice.

[LegendaryDragon90]

dis is a cool vid! i luv wing chun! XD

[YoshiroShin]

That guy that was being shown from 1:16 all the way to 3:15, was that Yuen Biao? And what movie was that?

[YoshiroShin]

Yes that was and it was Prodigal Son.

[YoshiroShin]

Oh, thanks!

[1UpGamers]

Movie is called Prodigal Son. And yes, it is. :D

[LalalandE2008]

the name of the movie in 9:39 ?

[yomtumthai2]

rumble in the bronx

[jaygmui]

LOL 6:24 kick the ass hole

[yomtumthai2]

wing chun AKA yong chun

[Jank143]

Prodigal Son and Ip Man are the two most authentic WC movies I've seen. Great stuff!

[masikah]

tuff

[AhnicB]

Sweet stuff

[sloppymantis]

indeed prodigal son was awesome.. thanks for taking the time to make this.. I have not seen this flick with jackie in it though.. I will have to check it out. good day brother

[Shindai]

Did you see Rumble in Hong Kong and Gorgeous yet? I think the bits on the dummy is all the wing chun in them, if memory serves, sadly

[sloppymantis]

No i do not think i have seen eith erof those.. and I have to watch this vid again to remind myself of what was in it, but I did eventually see the jackie chan where he is using a wooden man .. I think it was rumble in the bronx? Somehow a movie called Gorgeous doesnt sound like a kung fu flick hehehe i shall go check it out though thanks :D

[Shindai]

I dunno what the Chinese title would be translated as, Gorgeous might just be the UK renaming (we all know how the west loves to rename shit :p) but it's a romantic comedy with some martial arts thrown in, some excellent fight scenes in it :) I hope you enjoy it if you see it, it's one of my favourite movies *Total pimp for Jackie movies lol*

[gragrn]

Slow down Jackie, the Jongs getting confused.

[Shindai]

*lols*

[kravmagiczka]

awesome

[immortalmacleod]

prodigal son, one of the best gung-fu movies
