Fast forward 25 years and the twin that box'd will have joint and back issues. Maybe possible retardation from being hit in the head 1000's of times . While the twin that did the WC will have possibly mastered the system including the " weird stance" he had so much trouble with in the first month. So what's your point?
Take twin brothers...train one in boxing for a month and the other in wing chun for a month. Then they fight. Boxer will win. While the WC student is studying that wierd stance for a whole month...the boxer has hit the heavy bag 1000 times...and the mitss 1000 times.
@gorfjorf2112112 How about a 60 year old boxer versus a 60 year old WC practitioner? Like the guy in this vid? I'm pretty sure boxers become pretty ineffective when they're at that age compared to the WC guy.
looks good, but has this guy been tested in a free fight situation? against professional wrestlers, boxers, karate/judo men or just punks from the street?
@kwangAPORIA wrestling has good strategy against stand up fighting styles. it's hard for wing chun, karate, boxer or any such stylist to spar with a wrestler. i know he's done some duels against other schools of martial arts in hong kong to represent wing chun, but his teacher wong shun leung was legendary for having never been lost a fight in over 100 such challenge fights. those includes against boxers and all sorts of styles, probably not against a wrestler though.
i would love to start wing chun. but to me, it doesnt look like it would be affective in a real life situation. i just get the feeling its good for demonstrations and for use against other wc artists. any1 agree?
@ThePtno1 ,mate, you didn't get it from the video, one thumb punch from the master, you are on the ground. don't know why you don't agree its practical. I am training under my Sifu who is student of The master in the video.
@ThePtno1 your wrong. It is very effective. It is economy of movement that svaes energy. its not flashy like other martial arts and isnt competition based but it is effective. The straight/centre line theory and strong structure make a well trained wing chun practioner formiddable.
@ThePtno1 Ive used wing chun in fights and it works when done right. Also the best hit ive ever landed on someone gave them a blackeye for a month delivered from a centered wing chun stance. Ive used karate back in the day to far less effect I got tired fast trying to kick a guy in the head after 3 misses he got me good in the eye with a jab. Wing Chun is made for the street just got to give it time and effort.
@ThePtno1 I've seen a lot of different Wing Chun and some of it really sucks. This doesn't. WKL's Wing Chun is quite distinctive and different to the Ip Chun style. Both of these are effective. In the UK, Alan Gibson and Kevin Chan teach first class Wing Chun of each school respectively. If you go to a class, just see whether what is being taught and what's said about it makes sense to you. Wing Chun is very direct and practical - when it looks mystical and fancy, it's usually bad. Good luck.
what would the wing chun practitioner do against a BJJ opponent intent & able to get him/her on the ground? Imagine by some fluke Sifu Wan Kam Leung got on the ground somehow.... are there wing chun contingencies against the Gracie Jui Jitsu moves?
Be careful of getting ahead of yourself. If you practice on the dummy without the proper foundations of SLT and Chum Kiu, or even Biu Jee, then you will most likely end up cultivating incorrect habits in regards of posture, micro and macro positioning in relation to your opponent - not to mention improper energy absorption/emission skills. IF this be the case, then you will end up doing Karate with Wing Chun shapes...which is next to useless. Best of luck in your studies.
aaw man, watch at 2:19 pak and check and heel kick to the back of the head!! man love howe sifu wan includes kicks his wing chun.. there are so many wing chun practitisioners that limit themselfes by neglecting to practice good kicking as well as hand skills. man sifu wan is truly a master that proves his skills are as a practical as they are beautiful. great wing chun.
The guy is great. I went to his Uk demo and sadly he talked through 90% of it. Whilst I was engrossed in his theories, I would have loved to have done more practical wing chun, or got a few slaps off the guy (there's nothing so refreshing as being made to feel like a beginner!). I hope this guy is around for a long time - he has a lot to teach the world
We will see a return hopefully soon in the Uk of Wan Sifu but unfortunately our great wankers i mean bankers has made the majority all broke!! so when things get better i sure sifu would love to come to the UK! Yeah!
Sifu Wan is an extraordinary man. While his technique is simply uncanny, his power from his Chi (which is not really shown in the video) has to be felt to be understood. The power in Sifu's strikes can be damaging to the point of being extremely dangerous. Those who have trained with this man understand what I am saying. Above all, Sifu Wan is extremely generous to those who train with him.
Interesting point PatternsofWinning. I would love to train with him. Im hoping hes going to visit the UK again on one of his tours? I notice in his teachings he emphasises softness. Perhaps this is key to his dangerous power?
Sifu Wan, is one the best Wing Chun instructor in Hong Kong, his teaching emphasizes on practical use, and he and his sifu (passed away in 97) both oftenly practicipated in various bare hand fight with many different style fighters.
Fantastic clip, looks very similar to Wong Shun Leung himself, you can see his lineage. What is like learning from him personally? How do you find his teaching style? Does he speak english?

@DonMega187 Well, stand up fighters just need to learn how to sprawl well, and that should negate the advantage of the wrestler.

As walk my 11th year in the art , i feel his truth all-though we come from different schools.
The true art ( just like good music ) is instantly recognizable and liberates us from any guilt.
