wow. His front heel kick is very unpredictable. It takes skill to deliver such kick without telegraphing (and while rolling your arms during Chi Sao!!!). I'm proud to be a wing chun practicioner from the WSL lineage. Great respect to Wong Shun Leung.
I visited two of barry's seminars and sat next to him in a restaurant for four hours where I took my chances to interview him about everything, including Wong. I've never met Wong, but I've seen Barry in action and even felt his power when he demonstrated some moves on me. Just to imagine how deadly he must have been in the early days is scary. And when this Killer (he's a wonderfull person and really cool) spoke with deep respect and admiration of Wong, my doubts about Wong's legend vanished.
He is such gentle and humble man when you have a conversation with him. The quiteness of his voice belies the viciousness and explosiveness he harnesses when he is in combat.
Please read properly, I didn't say he became master after half a year, I said he became too strong. Yip was an old man. Besides, I've heard that Yip claimed Wong to be the quickest learner he'd ever taught. Just what I heard (from Barry Lee btw) And don't make the mistake to overemphasize on technique. Wong was known for his pit bull-like agressiveness, his absolute will to win and his no- illusions-down to earth-mentality. Barry told me: I've seen so many fights won by a strong mind an will.
Don't missunderstand me guys I'm not talking about technique or knowledge. I wouldn't wonder if Yip never really taught ALL his skills to anyone. He was a proud and very traditional chinese. What I meant is: Wong was a young and hungry genious badass in those days while Yip was an old man. During their first meeting Yip easiliy beat Wong in a challenge match, that's why Wong accepted him as his teacher. But after half a year, the a quicklearner Wong simply became too strong to do that again.
its inspiring to see a master at work. please i ask you too keep respect in mind and that kung fu translates as "skill". respect any skill regardless of preference or loyalties. i studied this beautiful art for only a short time, i left because of politics and ego. we must empty our cup in order to fill it.
kung fu and other words like chi can have various interpretations. hard work = skill in my book. i was just attempting to instill some respect and 'skill' was an easier way to get my point across. thanks.
Oh, and about this thing with Ting's book: that would be like telling Robert DeNiro that he`s not a good actor and better get to learn how to do it right from Keanu Reeves...
Er...grasshopperbl, do I get it right that YOU are trying to tell WONG SHUN LEUNG that his Chi Sao is bad and how he can improve it? YOU criticise the direct student of Yip Man, who ran his school in Hong Kong? Who only needed half a year to became better than Yip Man himself, who was send as THE representative of Yip Man's school whenever it came to challenge matches versus other schools and styles; the man who won more than sixty of those fights without defeat? You critisize him? Think twice!
i understand your respect for Wong si bak, but any of si gung Yip Man's students still alive will tell you that they do not think, or ever thought that they are better than Yip Man.
So inspiring. WSL rules WSL lineage all the way. This is like, the best chi sau clip on youtube. Real, solid training being done there. Awesome. Thanks for posting

wong walked in as a western boxer thinking he could beat any man. He was humbled without effort and then dedicated himself to the training.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
way to jerky movements, not good, to hard aswell. learn to deflect not crash with arms.

what the fuck are you talking about??
The lap sau grabs and pulls the man to one side, and you punch him, that is all.
NOthing aims to chase hands, but only to hit the man.
