  • awe man i didn't know this guy was a real kung fu man I remember in the movie Bruce Lee The Man And The Myth he played Yip Man.......awesome get movie by the way for those who never heard of it!

  • im sorry but this isnt Yip man or yip chun = /

  • @ 5:38 dude favor (look like) Donnie Yen's Ip Man.

  • Donnie Yan???

  • Imagine a fighting system with no patterned movement training and no cooperative partner applications. Training that looks the way real violence looks...

  • @mattkovsky how is that a system then? I think you defined fighting for the sake of fighting, as opposed to sparring for the sake of efficiency.

  • @dmos62 It would be a system that is utterly efficient for real violence by training improvisation and adaptation by using drills and exercises based on raw movement principles like balance, looseness, body unity, power, sensitivity, elusiveness and "anything goes" savagery rather than specific "if you do that then I'll do this" techniques, forms, patterns and katas.

  • @mattkovsky that does sound attractive, but I think that true efficiency is a compromise between that "looseness" you're talking about and drilling or forms.

  • @dmos62 Not just looseness. The way you train is the way you fight. If you're a jazz musician who only trains scales or copies other people's leads you'll never be able to "jam" or improvise a solo. If you train being creative and feeling how to flow with other people's spontaneous playing right from the beginning, you'll be the better jazz musician. Similarly with fighting. Once you learn how to punch, kick, chop and gouge (which takes no time at all), flow + adaptation = efficiency.

  • @mattkovsky All patterned training does is lock up the mind, body and reactivity. The same with defense.

  • @mattkovsky I agree with your explanation. I think we can get lost in our training and many people have a tendency to forget why they are training, so they keep doing the same routines year after year and never really progress. I have known people with decades of "traditional" training who simply could not handle people outside their specific art.

  • @Ronin6575 You are dead on. I've found personally that free-form training teaches you to react in the moment and gets more done in less training time.

  • is it true that kung fu originated in india?

    like buddism

  • @ssemajretsua kung-fu originated with the monks of china. some people think it was created to warm off soldiers from steeling there crop.

  • @popanth4r Wing Chun was created by a woman, or so the stories tell, and was later taught to the monks for self defense. There's a lot more to the story then that though.

  • @gaolisvideolog 1) u r sucker 2)u r mother fucker 3)u r dick head and 4) u don't know any thing about martial arts

  • The agility, concise movements and nimbleness are impressive. I have never seen such grace by a practitioner before. The hand motions are amazingly precise: muscle memory. Very impressive. Was this, in fact, Sifu Ip Man?

  • @MADHater01 i think this is an old video of a young Ip Chun back in the 70's or 80's.

  • @MADHater01 this is his son Yip Chun

  • Be water my friends!

  • So where are the true origins of Martial Arts historically, and it be traced through the generations of whom started what, then how it adapted or manifested to other forms or styles of MA?

  • I like Wing Chun's use of kata (forms) better than Karate's.

  • they need to use kungfu against those greedy British mothafkcrs..thats true..british/american folks need others resources always..dont teach them kung fu..lol..ima nigga and a racist..feel free to call or comment as you like

  • this dude trained bruce lee. he's dead but he trained bruce after he beat the living fuck out of a british pro boxer during the boxer rebellion era

  • Bruce lee is God....to me..

  • a thai boxer can beat this old man so easly.

  • @Wiseguy88 a thai boxer could get his ass kicked so hard by a wing-chun`er

  • @Wiseguy88 Thai boxers dont do their art at 80

  • @mskpro309 There isn't a real answer for that. Kyokushin has beaten muay thai in most of their matchups, but it does depend on the person. Wing chun is excellent for smaller, thinner people. All 3 styles are considered the top 3. I'm a Kyokushin fighter, but I have respect for these two strong styles.

  • @hasanallahu i think bruce lee just never stop training

  • It is said that wing chun was started with a royal women i guess.

    I want to chose between kyokushinkai, maui thai and wing chun. Which is better?

  • @mskpro309 I'm a Wing Chun Practioner and I love it for it's effectiveness and real life applications, it's also a very quick martial art to learn to comparison to other styles. Mauy Thai is brutal (so is Wing Chun though) and is deffinately at the top of my list of styles I wouldn't want to fight against because of their kicks to the shins, but it's not such a good style as you get older. Kyokushin is a style I'd like to try out because of the kicks and it appeals to me....

  • @mskpro309 .....because of my Karatae past and the constant sparring they do every lesson. I highly recommend Kyokushin and of course Wing Chun, but I do have a deep respect for Muay Thai. I personally think one of the best combo's to have is Wing Chun as your base, A karatae style or Taekwondo mostly for the kicks and then juijitsu for the ground.

  • @MyJibJib I Am Doing Kyokushin Karate Since 1 Year Ago. There Is No Place In Pakistan Where I Can Learn JUI JITSU OR AKIDO. What is the possible Nearest country Where I can Learn These Styles. I would prefer UAE.

  • @mskpro309 No Idea mate, you'd have a better idea than me. Look on the net. Maybe India, I'm guessing being in Asia. I've heard there's some pretty insane Afghan Martial arts though. Just do what's available, and what'll be easy for you to train in regularly. You can always start learning another style when it's avaliable. The important thing is to learn something

  • @MyJibJib Actually I have Chosen Kyokushin But I Want To Learn Wing Chun And Jui Jitsu Or Akido As My Base. Thank You For Your Help!

  • no such thing as original wing chun in this video, wing chun was invented by a woman ( Yim wing chun) in southern shaolin in the qing dinasty, she invented it in order to fight the warlord who offered marriage to her, she refused and she had to beat him in a fight to be free, so thus wing chun was born ;)

  • Where are the hooks and jabs?

  • Asian wives waiting **busizz4me.info**

  • "2:59" heil hitler!

  • like christianity(religion at all)....... stupid

  • amca seni bi döverim elimden kimse alamaz

  • @GaolisVideoLog u are right abaut this ip man learn it from a different master actually 2 masters

  • @mrexclusive45 Really? I did not know that. Thank you. Maybe I really should watch the movie. A German peer of mine said I should watch it; and this other movie entitled Wing Chun starring Michelle Yeoh. Wing Chun really isn't my style. I just learned about it when I came to the western world = = Where I come from they have Kuntao and Arnis.

  • if i watch longer this garbage i get seek!!!! by

  • @evripapa remember die on the way ahahahahah

  • nothing, absolutely nothing to to with martial arts

  • @evripapa u r the all wise master of faggots....

  • "Ip" and "Yip" are just different ways of spelling the same name. Just like Wing Chun, Ving Tsun, etc. are all pretty close approximations of the Cantonese pronunciations.

  • @DARKKIRBYRIOT yip man is his name, ip man is the movie.

  • @sthtrry123 It does not matter whether you write Yip Man or Ip Man, Jip Man or Yè Wèn. Before you making a statement like yours try to learn one of the Chinese languages. The only thing that matters is that you either write 叶问 or 葉問.

  • @DARKKIRBYRIOT wrong

  • 1) Bruce Lee isn't a god.

    2) Martial Arts in Asia go back 3.000 years. Li Xiaolong was not an apparition nor singularity.

    3)This video title is wrong. There's no such thing as "Original Wing Chun". Yipman didn't invent it.

    3.1) MA changes with each generation. The same techniques have diff. effects if used by different people. That alone changes so much.

    4) Style doesn't matter in Asia, so why does it matter to you outsiders?

  • @GaolisVideoLog Well said, Sir!

  • @GaolisVideoLog dude I shall subscribe u for u r ma brother right now

  • @tranglomango Ah, thanks. I don't know what to say.

  • @GaolisVideoLog You are right. Bruce wasn't a god, he was a J Christ. Yip Man was the God. Nah, just throwing a funny comment out there man. But seriously he was....

  • @GaolisVideoLog if there is no original wing tsun then where does it come from??

  • @goodwhitedog a woman.

  • @goodwhitedog Please read 3.1

  • @GaolisVideoLog

    i agree with you, i hate when someone says that boxing is better than karate, or this is better than that, only people fight better than other people, not styles. but saying this is like saying nothing, people will continue thinking that styles are better, its pathetic.

  • @GaolisVideoLog Yay and it's safe to say Chuck Norris is no god either.

  • @ShadowGates45 Oh, I'm afraid you couldn't be more wrong. Outer space only exists, because it's too afraid to be on the same planet as Chuck Norris (Just kidding. Happy Holidays.)

  • @GaolisVideoLog Happy Holidays to you too Gaolis

  • @GaolisVideoLog To #4 Because people can and will appreciate what ever they want or how they want And if it matters to an ' outsider', why not take it as a compliment to the art rather than take it as an unintended insult . Thats the beauty of 'interpretation', It doesn t have a governing body delegating how much' interpretation' us outsiders are allowed to have.

  • @thegliphic It may have come out wrong. Sorry, it's not about loving a certain style. But a lot of people in the west I talked to always say that their style is supreme to other styles. But it's not the style, it's the person. If you love something it's ok. But people shouldn't say that the stuuf they like is better than what others prefer.

  • @GaolisVideoLog Ok I hear what you are saying but. If its not about style, then why do u care when westerners make style the issue?? Who cares if they say its better. Everybody knows the appeal of style is subjective. You can t govern the evolution of stupidity in that sense. I agree with what you are saying. Let them turn their interpretation of your art into something childish and petty. In the end people will find authenticity . let them. its more reason to promote what you know to b right

  • @thegliphic very late reply: Sorry for replying so late. When we grew up, we were always told to let the people talk their talk. I was highly annoyed by what people do to a part of traditional Asian culture, especially Wing Chun and Arnis. This is no excuse, just a reason as to why wrote this. Thank you for your understanding.

  • @GaolisVideoLog no he didnt create it but and excellent student of it as i believe though there is only 2 different styles of wing chun, wing tsun and they are very VERY similar.

  • @MrRandomaussie Westerners and their copyright. Leung Ting thinks that changing transcription methods changes the world in his favor. It still remains 詠春拳. I could also write Yǒng chūn quán, would that change anything? Leung Ting & Kernspecht are ... for doing such a thing. I'm sorry for being so direct. Anyway, the number of styles, depends on how you count, you can easily reach 5 major branches in Hongkong alone. From personal perspective, there's only one wing tsun with many teachers.

  • @GaolisVideoLog well yes you are right but here in Australia i was refering to the two major styles of Wing chun and i just put wing tsun there becasue it is also spelt like that and also other ways

  • @GaolisVideoLog nice words, i like to be open to learning all arts.

  • @GaolisVideoLog It's not the style it's the fighter, however those to train diligently in different styles will have varying results + skills. Ng-Mui taught Yim-Wing-Chun a system of kung fu to defend herself from a bandit who was forcing her into marriage, that system is now recognized as Wing Chun. The title is not wrong, it's implying that this is the Original Wing Chun Ip Man VIDEOS. This is also probably the first time Wing Chun has ever been video recorded as well.

  • @WillFiordalisi Thank you for your reply. I am not a martial arts expert or historian. But if I may, you partially repeated what I said. Additionally I would like to raise your awareness to the fact that I am from Asia& am fluent in Chinese. Further I have been training martial arts for 20 years now, but am seriously not an expert. Also I would like to point to the hyphen in the video. It doesn't say 叶问咏春功夫 but 原咏春功夫 - 叶问/ 叶準. A rather striking difference in grammar, cohesion& implication there

  • @GaolisVideoLog haha, I'm no expert either friend, I've been training for less than a quarter of the time you have, however I would consider myself somewhat of a historian, I'm taking elementary chinese classes at my university, which influences me to ask you, why is the hyphen in the video a rather sriking difference in grammar?

  • @GaolisVideoLog 1. We know Bruce Lee isn't a god.

    2. MA.. don't trust everything on the internet, lill boy :PP

    3. Why is the video title wrong? Just because Yip Man didn't invent Wing Chun dosen't mean he's using it exactly the same way as the woman who invented Wing Chun.

    3.1. MA actually don't change with each generation. Different persons can use the same techniques about exactly the same way, man ^^

    4. Style actually matters, i think wing chun have many counter attack/defense styles against

  • @LoveDJCammy

    1. You're an idiot.

    2. You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

    3. You know nothing about martial arts. You most likely do not even practice one considering you come from a non-country.

    4. Martial Arts DOES go back thousands of years. Just because you do not like the facts does not mean they aren't true.

    5. You're an idiot.

    I think I adequately figured you out in about 3 minutes. Don't bother replying for I have already forced your resignation. :)

  • @LoveDJCammy Actually, I've trained Drunken Boxing even since i was 6, I've admired Wing Chun since i was about 5... And, Wing Chun does not go back thousands of years... Btw, u're an idiot, u even know u told me im an idiot both on 1, 5? :) <3

  • @GaolisVideoLog 4. Style actually matters, i think wing chun have many counter attack/defense styles against other MA styles.

    5. Why are u trying to act cool? Yip Man, Yip Chun are legends, so is Bruce Lee.

    Why do you care if it matters to us outsiders, and why do u use the word "you" when you say you outsiders? u are an outsider too, try the word we next time, ok? get real man ^^

  • @LoveDJCammy 小孩子, I've been training martial arts ever since I was six years old. That's been 20 years now. I learned it from my father together with my brother and cousins. I've seen a lot of martial artists in Asia and Europe and a lot of styles so far.

  • @GaolisVideoLog Yeah i agree with you people are up bruce lees ass and thats only cuz hes a real icon even in death he is well known. And for everyone else to know this is Traditional, not Original. there is no such thing. And i take wing chun, and i would think style does matter in Asia. Northerners and Southners in china have there different cultures, including fighting styles so i would think socially there is a slight difference in views or practices other wise there wouldnt be competitions

  • @westbrowndreds95 武术是武术,格斗是格斗。There is a tremendous difference between NEA & SEA cultures. Southern Chinese cultures are very similar to SEA cultures (except for the language). Even the fighting techniques & weapons are incredibly similar. Anyway, those style differences you refer to have more to do with geography & vegetation, not with philosophy. There are more plants in the south, so techniques are fit for "parochial" environments. What is portrayed in Kungfu movies has long been forgotten.

  • @GaolisVideoLog I think Wing Chun was invented by a woman.

  • @blueeagleTFL That's why it's called 咏春拳。

  • @GaolisVideoLog 这里没有人会说英语?

  • @blueeagleTFL 蠢……哈哈。玩笑。「你管」是一个美国的BBS,所以几乎所有的­人需要会写英文。妳/你/您为什么会用汉字?你是英国华人吧?或­你只用谷歌翻译?无所谓,你学格斗或武术吗?

  • @GaolisVideoLog Bruce Lee is a god if people believe him to be.

    Yipman's Wing Chun lineage go back to the inventor of "Original Wing Chun" whom was a women.

    That lineage kept Wing Chun traditionally pure to the Original Style and Philosophies of it's creator.

  • @BillyBatsonMarvel

    styles are always growing. to conform to a "pure style" is to dwell in stagnation. I believe bruce lee had something to say on this.

  • @usernamejoshS Indeed he did, he said "BE WATER" and flow like Jeet kune do.

    Have No Style. I understand ALL THAT. but that is another subject.

  • Nice.

  • well bruce did come out with jitkundo

  • good performance, but the idiot with the camera fucked it all up.

  • holy shit men theyre high all the time, too much drugs!!!, and he have dilated pupils

  • looks like an alien

  • if you se the hand movments he uses all of the wrist in hadn amazing

  • I think Bruce Lee did a great job for HIMSELF. His cup was over-filled, but he was a great thinker. I agree with his passion to learn as much about martial arts as he could. Too bad he had to speak poorly about the ways of martial arts that have been around for hundreds of years or more. War brings out a true martial artist.

  • Yip Man surely had a younger bro, Yip Kuen.

  • If he is yip man I'm bruce lee....

    and this is not original...

  • @georgekavrx8

    This is Yip Chun, the first born son of Yip Man, who have learned Wing Chun from his father since he was 7. He is the eldest of his generation. His Wing Chun is as original and pure as it can get, Bruce Lee.

    By the way you can see Yip Man in part 1 of this series

  • This man is genius, just from his form in his slow movements you can see his precision speed and power. I would love for him to teach me, sadly i couldnt afford something like that, if only i were rich.

  • That's not Yip Man! That guy is a joke!

  • @DonCarlo4Broadway

    That "guy" you're talking about right there is Yip Chun, the first born son of Yip Man, who have learned Wing Chun from his father since he was 7. He is the eldest of his generation. His Wing Chun is as original and pure as it can get.

  • @jungleefender

    Okay I will retract the statement I made 2 months ago and give him his props. After viewing one of his students that makes him the real deal. Sorry for any disrespect.

  • @DonCarlo4Broadway

    lol sorry I had a bad day and I went around fucking people.

    Apologize for any harm caused

  • yip man was a bruce lee teacher i saw a veridick story about this and a cope shoot yip man but she stel a live

  • That's Baddass! I love it!

  • bruce lee got his from training win chung and from this man.... i not sure how valid a question that is

  • do any of u have any idea what this is??? its patience and flexibility training.... this is rare... wonder how bruce lee got his flex...

  • Im not talking about ground fighters versus wing chun. Im talking about all round fighters who are competent standing and on the deck. Wing chun often ends up very close and a clinch is feasable and doable. From there takedowns and groundwork take over. I agree that us wing chun practitioners are a lot less likely to be taken down due to the martial art we practice but when it happens we have very little to work with.

  • Comment removed

  • not really.... because A) squirming will not get you out of anything a good grappler attempts B) how are you gonna bite, eye gauge and break fingers against someone who is choking you or applying a crank? and C) how are you going to hurt someone who has superiour positioning and strategy and a great understanding of the ground game?

  • "And i have been in street fights. "

    You watch to much TV...

  • Fights never go how you want them to, people trip, stumble, get put of balance by the aversary, get jammed up close. Going to ground is common regardless of the martial art.

  • be clear master at work

  • Pra que serve mexer o pulso assim?

  • Man, I've been learning Wing Chun for a while, Man I know the SLT and th Chum-Kiu, But the Biu-Tze. Hard, you talk about hard!

  • ...and when you get taken to the ground, what then?

  • you dont get taken down. That just doesn't happen. Simples.......

  • This is a dream, just a dream....deeep within a wish!

  • Not true. almost all fights end up on the deck. Unfortuantely this this the area where wing chun is seriously floored (Excuse the pun). If it goes to ground wing chun has no groundwork. Thats why integrating groundwork into wing chun training is a very good idea.

  • 1) kineticmb, There may be some truth to that in the since that it may be a posibility to successfully take down a wing chun fighter . However , its only speculation untill tottal wing chun is tested against ground fighting and take downs.. Which never happens because Wing chun fighters rarely fight in those ufc style MMA compititions .. THe reason they don't is because the rules would hamper there full expresion of wing chun.. People forget wing chun is a DEADLY art.. its not a sport.

  • 2) Wing chun trains to mame. FOr example, u can try a take down, but what if Im very effective in applying bil jee and I lodge my fingers 4 inches in ur scull (via ur eye socket) in the process of your take down and when I retract my hand ur eye ball is rolling around somewhere on the flooor? Need I say FIGHT over?.

  • 3) THats a real STReet fighting. low blows,crush wind pipes. I (like other wing chun students ) was trained this way when I took it. So This big theory of ground fighting vs wing chun is only speculation or a reality when the rules are in favor of sport fighting mma compititions ..

  • Hi Jami888,

    I practice wing chun myself and love this martial art.

    I agree with you that wing chun cannot be used in MMA due to the serious restrictions. I have seen on several occasions expert wing chun practitioners being taken down by other wing chun practitioners who are also trained in take downs and groundwork. Im afraid it is not speculation. Unfortunately it is wingchuns only weakness and it can be taken advantage of.

  • th problem is that most of the stuff we r tought is illigal ..so if u ever do get 2 witness a REAL wing chun fight like in the old days in china (The same way u were taught) ur propbably going to a be witness 2 a crime & the person cought on tape using such moves will probably have the law after em. So since no one can really see raw wing chun in unristricted action the only thing we are left with is speculation. we even have restrictions on what we are being tought in the class room.

  • @Jami888 What is taught is not illegal.... the improper use is illegal. I've been training palm of iron sand skill and it's benefits go beyond that of ending a fight quickly. My hands are now less likely to be injured than they were before. One time I was drunk and I fell down a flight of stairs onto a concrete patio. I caught myself tho, I landed flat on my two hands and the balls of my feet. I expected that my hands were all scrapped up and bloodied but when I looked, I was not injured

  • it can and does happen but that is why you punch the throat and kick the groin so many times.

  • What dont you think Wing Chun has ground defense?

  • No ground grabbling that I have ever seen.

  • you kill them by breaking their throat, silly.

  • Might work 9 times out of 10. But whatcha gonna do that 1 time they take you to the ground and have full mount?

  • talon115: is the only who know what the time is fouls !!!!!

  • No, didnt see any articles from anyone.

    I just have alot of Bruce Lee interviews, old ones that is...

  • problem is... in the real world your more likely to encounter stand up fighting than ground. JKD offers more real life counters where art forms such as BJJ which count on taking oponents down to the ground can put the BJJ artists in a very dangerous place. How many fights start with one person then end up with several. In a real world situation like this JKD would offer more.

  • no bruce's style he invented was jkd. If a master WC or WT artist entered UFC they would have to learn, sub escapes and sum basic ground fighting which both styles do already have but like anything if ur on ur back no matter wat u do( except maybe bjj) ur fucked

  • you're a complete idiot

  • Wing chun's greatest enemy is indeed grappler. In a retorical world it without grappling allowed the Wing Chun practitioner would have much greater odds in winning.

  • would like to see that from a more distant view, he did the biu tze very good but sadly i couldn´t see the whole body moving

  • JKD is not supposed to be a style but more of a philosophy of fighting. Bruce had no style. He was continually learning and incorporating what he learned.  Wing chun was his base.

  • @mval44 Outstanding! You are the 1st one to actually make sense, as I learned from Sifu Fred Kwok, whom was a disciple of Jui Wan and taught in Van, BC since the early 80's. Too much emphasis on Bruce Lee, as Bruce was only in Wing Chun for about 3 years and there are many great martial artist's from his time, whom went unrecognized internationally, mainly beacuse they were not into the hollywood scene. Fred Kwok was one of them.

  • @mval44 Years ago, I remember Dan Inosanto (who trained with Bruce Lee) had a studio in Marina Del Rey, CA. One of the classes he taught was 'Jun Fan Martial Arts'. It was basically considered the 'Bruce Lee style' of fighting. He also taught a Jeet Kune Do class separately. That's all I know, I never joined but I lived in the area.

  • Bruce may have abandoned some wing chun tools' but he didn't abandon wing chun development. He changed the art for himself, not for you or me.

  • Necro, you didn't happen to read Hawkins Cheung's article about Bruce Lee did you? What you just said sounds like it came from that article, which is cool.

  • Well, from what I understand that Bruce Lee said in a interview was that he took the best and dropped the rest, said a waste of energy jumping around...

    I think Wing Chun is simple and yet effective... JKD looks alot similar to Wing Chun in some aspects, and yet so different... I like watching Donnie Yen perform his arts, as Steven Chow...

    Live by the sword get shot by those who dont...

  • Most if not all of these oriental arts as they have become are very narrow minded and steeped in tradition. The 1 punch kill idea or the idea if i harden my hands i will be unstopable junk is an insult to the original warriors who actually used combat as a means of survival. all of these forms and preconcieved outcomes are not realistic and a waste of time. look at a REAL fight between 2 karateka or kung fu prac. no crane or tiger stances just fighting. Even SH.monks use a direct style, freeform

  • I'm so sick of idiots on youtube with absolutely no idea what they are talking about... Go and discover for yourself and save oxygen for other potentially talented human beings please :)

  • Wrong, Lee didnt abandon Wing Chun...

    He used it as a foundation of his own Kung Fu...

    He took movements from other Kung Fu/Karate that was good and dumped the wasting energy on jumping/flying around and wasting critical time...

  • No i said most of wing chun and yes he did create his own style of kung fu and later a style which he called JKD, and finnally disolved any concept of style or pre-determined outcomes or moves for a certian attack, you are too quick to prove your knowlege that you revealed your ignorance, anything else need cleared up

  • I tried these movements.. very painful to the joints, lol

  • they do it for hours a day. thats why their hands are very powerful.

  • even the most effective techniques become ineffective if you don't know how to use it properly sucker.

  • That why Bruce Lee made the whole world head down to him 'cause he was the best student of Wing Chun.

  • Not sure if he was the best, but he was indeed the most famous.

  • Lee abandoned most of the wing chun system in later years. found it to be too wasteful, he kept some ideas like the vertical punch and the "no rules" idea but disreguarded the chi saio, it was still used for as a drill but not as is

  • That's all chi sao is meant to be. It's like rolling in BJJ, it's play.

    Sparring is not chi sao and chi sao is not sparring.

  • no rolling is basicaly what a BJJ guy would do in a fight and could do in a fight if he chose to. This chi sao drill is not what a wing chun fighter looks like in a fight.

  • Rolling is a BJJ flow drill. And no BJJ guys don't drop to the ground in a fight, even they want to stay away from there and mostly use reversals to get up or attain dominant position for striking, subs, or leaving.

    You can't assume because someone trains ground they are going to go their automatically. You wouldn't see judoka jump to the ground either mate. It's as ridiculous as jumping guard in a real fight.

  • no i take bjj and on occasion we slow roll as a flow drill but still use realistic fighting concepts shooying for a single or double or a leg trip. still the techniques used rep.a real fight wing chun would not use these techniques in a real fight(Chi sao flow drill) watch the gracies take on kung fu guys and tell me that what we practice isn't realistic we can beat a guy without striking. Oh and jumping guard is 1 thing but pulling guard is a completely different thing ie. legtrip to guard mate

  • ha ha also you are misinformed if you think that BJJ= droping to the ground Bjj can also = me tossing you on your head, hard. a judoka by the way probably would attempt a clinch that is what they learned also not dropping to the ground,trust me a good judoka will toss you before you can counter and you are left to scramble pull guard and work from there.

  • With all that said I think Wng Chun has some good points like every art but to truely test it would be to try it against many different styles boxing,Kick boxing,wrestling,BJJ,someone who is a complete Mixed martial artest,and someone who knows nothing. I use some of the concepts in sparring and have used some in my boxing training(trap and backfist,not a legal punch:) )but it works also handfighting for bjj or in a clinch battle.

  • Thanks for posting this. Eventhough I dont understand why Ip Chun keeps his elbows out and high, its good to see the proper form.
