Sifu Sergio teaching the 6th two man set of the Ip Man Wing Chun kung fu system

[yasinm]

they lost the connection to the REALITY. chisao is good. but there are so many things to train to which is very important for every martial artist. they give toooo muuuuuuch importance for this theory - when he do this i ll do this etc.... in this sections... if you ever fight for real more times you will understand what is effective or not... and how to train, like bruce lee did...

[TheSUBGAMER]

wow grandmaster,how cool

he must be so powerful

italians=retarded fags=fact

peace

[PandaWingTsun]

I don't understand how people can speak so ill of someone who evidently has much skill and devoted his life to Wing Tsun. Ya'll should take a step back and stop being keyboard warriors and maybe go out there and train. You don't see Sifu Sergio on here blasting other peoples video's... Why? Because he is training, or spending time with his family or teaching... Why again you might ask? Oh ya, because he has a life. Maybe ya'll should get one as well.

[kanyinak]

Whatever title Sergio chooses to be called, his kung fu is good.

[gab0382]

bravissimo sifu sergio! anche se sono di un altra federazione lo apprezzo tanto..

[TheFabianFaria]

This is called finding the hand nice...

[Engels121]

Differentiate and define master & GM. Sifu (master) means literally father/teacher. Once your own students are advance (sifu) enough to teach other students u become GM, sounds legit? Ranks are overrated imo, more important are inner values and capability of teaching.

[SEHD]

@Engels121 I agree

[PandaWingTsun]

@Engels121 Sifu doesn't mean master at all. You can be a sifu one of two ways. Either you are very accomplished at something or you are a martial art teacher. Sifu in the Kung fu sense of the word usually means that you are an instructor, but not always. Sometimes it could mean that you are an accomplished practitioner.

[gambleyourhealth]

@PandaWingTsun Actually, Sifu does mean Master. In martial arts terminology, Specifically "Master-Father" which is used to indicate a student teacher relationship in Chinese martial arts.

People are able to speak ill of any self proclaimed "Grandmaster".

"Oh ya, because he has a life. Maybe ya'll should get one as well"

Says the man commenting on the VERY same video, Hypocrite.

Interested (and skilled) practitioners come here to watch other examples of their art too.

[PandaWingTsun]

@gambleyourhealth I've had my friends and tung-moon (fluent in chinese) tell me point blank that Sifu and Si-Fu do/does not mean master. Maybe in Mandarin "Shifu" means master. I could however be wrong since I'm not fluent in Cantonese, but apparently you are. Secondly, I didn't come here to bash on someone for giving us insight, so you can shove that hypocrite stuff right in your pipe to smoke it. And yes I'm sure your interested and skilled and so am I.

[PandaWingTsun]

@gambleyourhealth And I have no clue why you have come to get down on me for expressing my feelings of not wanting to see all the psycophantic garbage put on here by people who are only interested in causing a scene. If you want to come and share ideas, no problem. That is what instructional/informational video's are for. A platform to to share ideologies and viewpoints. So go ahead and troll me now, I'm done wasting time trying to make a blind man see.

[gambleyourhealth]

@PandaWingTsun

1] because you are saying people here "dont have a life", you trolled, not me.

2] Anyone can look up the cantonese and mandorin of Sifu / Shifu and see that they do indeed mean exactly what I said they did. You dont have to be fluent in ANYTHING to find that out.

"put on here by people who are only interested in causing a scene"

And how does you insulting EVERYONE else differ from that?

As I said, Hypocrite.

[nico27004]

hes no grandmaster

[HeiseMeiDragon]

This guy is a joke

[HeiseMeiDragon]

Seriously is this Tom green trying to do kung fu? baha

[KoolJayJ]

whats with white guys and there obsession with asian martial arts?

[nttlover]

Sifu is showing great skill- its a shame people concentrate on the negative and not the positive. Skill is skill, a title is a title, a name is a name. As for the fight between chung and emin, that was an embarassing disgrace for both parties, no skill, just 2 adolescent school children acting up in front of a crowd, just a display of egos. Martial Artists are supposed to be humble beings.Look within to find the "answer" to the question.

[WildWhiteDignity]

He doesn't seem too impressive.

[WildWhiteDignity]

Some people call themselves grandmaster when thier ego gets too big, I don't like the term myself as it implies some kind of end instead of a lifetime dedicated to improvement, I'll be a student till the day I die

[tako2002]

schweißt youtube mit der dummem werbung

[Spikebert]

I don't know if this is true or not but this is what I was told about the terms: in some Western traditions, like schools, the teacher or head of the classroom is addressed as master, the principal is the Head Master, and just like your father's father is your "Grand" father and your son's son is your grandson, the 'Head teacher' of Your "Head-teacher" is the "Grand-teacher" aka Grand Master, so it's a title of position, not necessarily a title of skill or ability.

[xxdjcharlierockxx]

don't concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory

[beejdee]

I dont understand. Why is he 'grandmaster'? We have Tsui Sheung Tin lineage instructors who train for 30+ years and are not at master level yet.

[dlvt79]

@beejdee He gives the titles to his self!Basically he produce masters so he claim to be superior,,,,that is grandmaster!..WEST

[pornpan96]

@beejdee agreed but i guess we gotta pay a visit to this guy and see what makes him to think that he is the grandmaster and we the ants lol....

[sloppymantis]

@beejdee Who knows how people define ranking. For me there are people that I learn from and people who learn from me, but often it is both. They have masters who are not called masters so why not have some called masters who are not masters. Black belt sounds like a lovely rank,for example, but have you asked your average black belt of a given school system why he moves in a certain way or test them under pressure?Certainly I do not mean all or to offend anyone, just saying ranks are just words

[bordereye]

@beejdee Lack of talent and/or dedication is the answer.

[SuperMooiemeid]

@beejdee That's because he gives himself the title "grandmaster" that's what I have heard from several ex-pupils of him. ;)

[16taneja]

@SuperMooiemeid I am an old pupil of him, and believe me he is a GM!!

[SEHD]

@beejdee

If i'm not mistaking Sergio teaches his own system called Chi Sim Wing Tjun. Everyone saying that Sergio is not actually a grand master clearly doesn't know what he/she is talking about. He has his own system thus he is the grandmaster of that particular system no?

The style he teaches retains the core of Chi Sim Wing TJun (his own system), Sap Yat Kuen (Ving Tsun Kuen), Saam Bai Faat, Chong Kuen, as well as Siu Lam Tao, Chum Kiu and Biu Jee the Look Dim Boon Gwun and Baht Jam Dao.

[SEHD]

Also, Wing Chun is not only about technique. There is a lot of philosophy involved, something 99% of practitioners do not master. I know for a fact that this man lives and breathes Wing Chun kung fu. Every decision he makes in daily life can be traced back to wing chun.

And if you're not sure this man is qualified to be a master you should check out this link. It shows all the sifu's he studied under and their lineages.

[hi8959]

People in China are 89 when they reach the title of grandmaster, some are good in chinese traditional medicine too. Here in the west, when you are 40, you are already grandmaster.Something to think about and find an answer. I have seen even in Europe other masters in other MA getting their grandmaster title when they are 70.

[actionmanrandell]

@hi8959 well grandmaster is really a western invention. in china you call your teacher. sifu. not master sifu means teacher/father. because your teacher is a father figure. in japan they dont say master they say sensei master is usually something you call a religious leader ie in shinto . or budism.

[TheObelix876]

@actionmanrandell they got a name for (grand)master in japan thought... Shihan

[actionmanrandell]

@TheObelix876 Shihan doesnt mean grand master it means master teacher. which is not the same thing as calling someone a master.. in most asian countries they simply have titles that denote them being a teacher such as sensei which simply means teacher or literally translated, "born first". in china they usually call the teacher sifu. sometimes pronounced sea foo. and other times pronounced shifoo. with a silent s as iin sh foo. but always it means "father teacher"

[actionmanrandell]

@hi8959 cont. and who cares if if in japan and china and places you have to wait til your 70 or 80 to get such a high rank. the time you spend in a martial arts system doesnt mean you can fight. most martial artist have no idea how to fight. because they lack sparring

[hi8959]

@hi8959 Thanks for your comment, you answerd my question. Peace!

[vtfist]

@GonG108 Wake up

[GonG108]

@vtfist so you admire william big mouth chung , the GM who never had a good student and failed against emin ?

sorry but your comment is very disrespectful and to be frankly the best ving chung stundents i have seen where all leung ting deciples the other ones just talk and talk but there is not even one good video of them , you critic sifu sergio without ever have met him , this is ridiculous , if you know it better then him show me a link to one of your videos , i would like to see some

[vtfist]

@oltifromhungary Sorry my hungarian friend but leung ting and his system suck.

How do i know because i used to learn Ting system from a direct student of Ting for years. I also taught system for several years before finding a more realistic way of using wing chun. What u have is a set of pointless drills and even worse dead applications. Looks bit like wing chun but just the shell filled out with applications & drills largely imported from other martial arts, Mayb LT was only junior student.

[oltifromhungary]

@vtfist That's why in the LT system some other "grandmasters" would fail on the first student degree exam. That's why LT W.T. second master degree technicians are kicking the ass of other _ing _un masters and G.masters. That is why wing chun master who was 25 kg heavier had been beaten by a wing tsun master. The drill are very important in this style, but there are only pointless if people dont know how are they done exactly.

[oltifromhungary]

@vtfist And the apps.. ohh :D I dont know where did you learn LT WT but a friend of mine is learning karate for now 7 or 8 years , and I took him to the wt training and he said that he learned more in 1 wt training than years of training karate. And Lt was not a student he was a master when he got the chance to be a closed door student, and he was the last of those who could learn the techs from master YIp.

[oltifromhungary]

@vtfist And if the LT wing tsun sucks, how is that the forms are exactly the same as Yip Man presented, but in other _ing _uns they are something completely diffrent?

[andypandyhu]

@oltifromhungary forms are not the same as ip mans as they are in wt, very very similar yes but not exactly the same :-) i have learned both so i know this for fact.

[oltifromhungary]

@andypandyhu Why not,(first of all), and then what about with the wing chun styles? those are totally diffrent.

[pearlblack]

wt ethnicity ar they?? r they italians?

[oltifromhungary]

@vtfist If you call Leung Tings system a rubbish, you have just the shell, and the basic idea of chi sau is: If the pass is free, go ahead! If he contects you, bond to him! Dodge! (i think this is the word) IF THE OPPONENT RETREATS, FOLLOW HIM! So LT's method is good, yours is shit

[andypandyhu]

@oltifromhungary i have trained traditional wc from ip mans sons liniage in one country and also leung tings system in hungary the same as you, i wouldnt profess one total rubbish and one amazing i think you take from anything what you want both had merit. my problem is LT has made it all about money everything costs and you have to pay to progress. wing tsun costs a fortune where as in my wc traditional training money wasnt the driving force it was knowlege. at least thats what i experienced.

[oltifromhungary]

@andypandyhu Yes the tuition fees are very high (I admit this), as you have to pay more for a Ferrari than a Paugeot. As Si-Fu Máday said: everybody learns that kind of _ing _un,what he /she deserves.(and it's not about the money...)

[oltifromhungary]

How allowed you to wear wide yellow striped uniform ?!

[minasz]

Why special effect sounds..??

[suckmyarseb]

master? master of what? showing his ego over students?

[MegaCopyman]

I love Sergio.

[doctormoo]

You need to teach them the discipline of chinese Kung fu, not only the move... The spirit behind kungfu is harder to learn..

[ertert33]

0:11: fai quello che vuoi...per la serie "tanto sempre che le buschi da me" :D

[paoloscotto]

mamma mia questo oltre a essere una forza della natura l'ho sentito parlare 3 lingue diverse in tre diversi video...tanto di cappello.

[Donkyfishy]

hey, thanks for the reply but that doesnt really make much sense to me, section 5 chi sau? ar u refering to entries? as I understand it chi sau is a proving ground/drill so how can it have formal sections? & whilst I appreciate that any move can 'become' effective in the moment (i.e. it worked that time) this move breaks alot of classic wing chun rules & doesnt demonstrate any control other than surprise. Agreed Biu jee has under arm stuff but thats for emergancies not the norm, right?

[Apolonmagnus]

@Donkyfishy

Sifu Sergio is teaching the 6th section chi sao, right?

So you learn the defence to this attack already in the 5th.

I wonder why his student didn´t react correctly when he did it.

About biu tze: Isn´t any attack an emergency? ;-)

To me they are not really emergency techniques. They are really deadly techniques europeans would only use behind enemy lines. It is a chinese interpretation (philosophy etc.) that only in an emergency they would use the techniques to kill an enemy.

[Apolonmagnus]

@Donkyfishy

To me the real emergency techniques are these of the wooden dummy. They sometimes even seem to brake Wing Chun ideas.

[zmajski777]

you gotta be a good chess player to get to this level of wing chun lol

[tomasconleche]

Nice Chisao!

[EffectiveArts]

I love the video Sifu Sergio!!! Great!!!

[TheVortex720]

ma iadarola se perde in un freefighting cambia stile secondo voi?

[Donkyfishy]

What is people's obsession with punching under their own Bong sau? Surely 2:05 onwards is massively dangerous for dude in yellow? Lap sau anybody? Whatever happened to hitting with impunity?

[lordtains]

I was thinking the same thing. If the other guy makes a Jat sau on his bong there, both his arms are completely trapped.

[Apolonmagnus]

@Donkyfishy

You learn how to do it and avoid being traped while doing it in section 5 chi sao. There are a lot of similar techniques in biu tze too.

[Donkyfishy]

@Apolonmagnus

posted a reply (incorrectly, doh!) let me know what ur thoughts are.

[Apolonmagnus]

@Donkyfishy

Look at this at 0.56:

youtube

WT Lehr-DVD 6 Trailer von Sifu Niko

There is the technique.

[Donkyfishy]

@Apolonmagnus

"Isn´t any attack an emergency?" lol, yep. Cheers for pointing us towards the other vids btw. On the dummy front I was under the impression that the breaking of rules was related to error correction/ recovery rather than delibratly training against the WC rule set, as for deadly moves in Biu jee.. I guess it depends on which version u learn, the 3rd form tends to be the most different between lineages (altho most have the finger strike bit). I study WSL, what lineage do u learn?

[Apolonmagnus]

@Donkyfishy

World Sanda league? This is not really a lineage.

I am brown belt Ninjutsu and Taekwondo, black belt Full contact Pakua and 2. technician Wing Tsun Chuan. (We left IWTO a few years ago). I am considering going back to some kind of modern Ninjutsu (creating it myself) and using Wing Tsun + best of mix as unarmed combat instead of levers etc., but teaching also the survival stuff of Ninjutsu.

[Donkyfishy]

@Apolonmagnus

wow thats alot of martial arts, no I meant I study Wong Shung Leung, Wing Chun.

[Apolonmagnus]

@Donkyfishy

Isn´t it strange. It is perfectly possible to learn Wing Chun for a dozen of years thinking you are doing the best stuff. Then you look something up - for example your Wong Shung Leung, Wing Chun I never heart about before - and you realise that it looks perfectly ok too and that there is not only one way. In which city do you train?

[Donkyfishy]

@Apolonmagnus

Yeah I know what you mean, I find new versions/ways of doing WC everyday whilst surfing Youtube. Im in England, Huddersfield to be precise.

[pablitomastah]

@Apolonmagnus use chinese wing tsun and ninjutsu? :| freak

[Apolonmagnus]

@pablitomastah

ya betcha! ;-)

No te creas que no es perfectamente compatible. Si una vez sabes como moverte corectamente lo puedes hacer con todas las artes marciales. Ademas el Ninjutsu no es una arte marcial sino una forma de usar las artes marciales "de puntillas".

[pablitomastah]

@Apolonmagnus la fuerza de los golpes de kung fu viene de la posicion, de las piernas, de una posicion fuerte salen golpes fuertes, y obviamente estar de puntillas no es una buena posicion, al menos en lo que a kung fu se refiere

[Apolonmagnus]

@pablitomastah

Hazme el favor de leer mi "chanel".

No me referia a "estar de puntillas" con los pies sino a hacer las cosas de manera clandestina. Tal vez tendria que haber escrito en ingles.

[vtfist]

@MrSoprofound ITs not about who's sifu is best its about charlatans trying to sell a load of rubbish to gullible fools. Why do these self proclaimed 'masters' have no fight record ? How come you never see any of this cr*p in real fighting? Why does it only work against your own students ? These are the questions you should be asking !

[MrSoprofound]

@vtfist Leung Ting might be Sifu Sergios teacher but he is one of the very few that is in close contact witn different Wing Chun organisations. He is, believe me or not, idc, one of the most educated Sifus in the world who has truely understood all basics and motions of the IP Man system. I understand that their are alot of branches in the great Wing Chun tree of origin and that are alot of ppl that believe that their Sifu is the best bla bla bla! Stop worshiping. Sifu Tassos Sifu Sergio would..

[klsuperman]

@vtfist

Leung Ting rubbish is true. But wing Chun is really excellent. Leung Ting is stole the name of Wing Chun to teach other one, understand?

[klsuperman]

but i can see the Chinese word on his T-shirt is “永春”，actually the real one is “詠春”，i suspect his kung fu is fake.

[leomend92]

@klsuperman it is not at all,thats pure wing chun,he was taught by leung ting,former student of grandmaster ip man

[Mrjazz2]

this is wing chun.

He was my teacher in Amsterdam.

Just look at google iwka wing tjun thats his organistation

[MasterChince]

yeah that is obviously wing chun... great work sifu.... I love how you got to go around .. and you make very well composed youtube videos.... must say I am slightly jealous of all the things you got to do......... cheers

[sjander29]

Great Wing Chun Teaching Applications in Chi Sao Demo Video ! Thanks Sifu Sergio .

[MasterChince]

am I ever glad I have your subscription Sifu

[Samtex2660]

lol, these people never heard of ellbows and i dont mean for striking.

this is plain shitty...nothing to do with wing chun

[MasterChince]

no it looks pretty wing chun to me.... see how they move their arms... that is the reason the wooden dummy was created ..to work them as if they were arms... and that looks strikingly l;ike wing chun...

[MasterChince]

@MasterChince and thats because it is .... my prefered fighting system is Silat...or Kali.... the most efective street fighting system in the world.... right beside brazillian jujitsu

[MasterChince]

@MasterChince in my humble oppinion that is

[MasterChince]

@Samtex2660 if you do not think that is wing chun.... please show me a video that emulates it propperly

[233seal]

Nice demo and patient sifu at the moment.Funny at 0:52 when the student tried to continue by his own and sifu managed to hold his reflex last moment,not to hit him! : ) For those who don't know,that's why when we do chi-sao or etc with the sifus,we must not try to make stupid things,cause we can 'hurt' our selves and won't be our teacher's fault... :P

[Anandfulness]

@233seal ; Yes that was funny indeed. :-)

[Aedox1]

Congrats Sifu Sergio, subtle and effective maneavers.

[boergsen]

good video, sifu sergio seems to be very patient, my sifu would have kicked this wiseacre student out of the hall.

[Alanwingchun]

Sifu sergio is a very good master , i did wing tsun for 9 years and on ther seminars you cannt talk or ask to many questions ,thid student has the right to ask because he pays !!!

[alfiosss]

i speak ita and can guarantee he's an idiot who doesnt understand wc

[sild123]

hehe, i kinda understand what the other man saying/doing. he's like testing the grandmaster right?

[jofreak123]

why is he always speaking?

Listen to your master before speaking!

[bubishi2]

yeah, i wish i knew italian so I could understand what he was saying/asking. But, he seems like an idiot either way, LOL

[wailofoshan]

Good video.

I invite you to visit my youtube channel.

There are videos of Wing Chun Yip Man line Foshan / Fatshan.

Greetings my friend !

[asparton91]

Bello, mi piace, il Si Fu ha spiegato veramente molto bene!

[Wingtsuninpo]

awesome. this is the chi-sau section I'm currently working on.
