I enjoyed the demo was well done and the sifu shows an understanding of the physics of the kung fu, a rare thing. (He didn't turn sideway, didn't cross the centerline, used forward energy etc). It's good to note that the opponent kept removing his right arm from contact and the sifu was being benevolent as, especially when blindfolded, one can't allow the opp to break contact without immediately moving in with a deadly blow. Very nice job, great skills. A true WC teacher!
When I'm at a high enough level to be able to play around more with chi sau and the like, I'd very much like to train with you if I'm ever in Brum town.
This clip really demonstrates who fast and effective Wing Chun can be. Si Gung Rawcliffe's style is unmistakeable! I love the pak sau section! I miss Midlands Wing Chun Kuen!
Yeah; there appears to be excellent judgement of distance and command of the all important 'centre line' from both guys, very important in Wing Chun it seems. If any one of them inadvertently stepped too far away, they would find themselves in Boxing range, too close they will end up in a clinch. Bruce Lee was a Cha Cha champion, any style of dancing must require an impeccable sense of distancing. Do you think this could be the reason why Bruce Lee was able to pull off Wing Chun so effectively?
Wow, usually I'm very skeptical of Wing Chun and similar martial arts that aren't directly applicable to mma, but this demonstration showed a very effective fighting style. Obviously nut shots would not be allowed in mma, but the other moves could be transferred. Wing Chun, or at least your style, appears adept at stopping brawlers. Good stuff, wouldn't mind seeing some more.
This stuff here is representative of real Wing chun; Rawcliffe is of Yip Man lineage, the Wing Chun that actually works, not a lot of the crap out there that just makes Wing Chun look bad. The Wing Chun that Bruce Lee incorporated into JKD is of Yip Man lineage.

@247wingchun To develop the sensitivity to not rely on your eyes in a fight, so you can already know your opponents intentions

pretty ballsy letting a guy in a blindfold make finger strikes to the face, dont think I would do that.
