Sil Lim Tao Wing Chun Set

[0stfu0]

beast :) havnt done this for 3-4 years and had forgot most of it and the application! have definatly been doing the bit at 1:24 wrong (somthing, tan sau?) the last few days, cheers

[Acification95]

so then how would you fight using wing chun?

do you have to know all of the forms?

[trevorhaines]

@Acification95 The forms give examples of how to move your body and energy properly but they are not a play book of "when I guy does this you should do that..." Wing Chun is a concept driven art where the reactions of these concepts are fine tuned through Chi Sau (sticky hand sensitivity training), a variety of partner drills, and of course freestyle sparring at a variety of contact levels. I do believe forms are a useful and convenient tool and I enjoy the historical aspect of them as well.

[Acification95]

why are there forms in wing chun? do you follow these forms in fighting/sparring?

[trevorhaines]

@Acification95 It is possible to achieve skill in Wing Chun and never learn the forms but they are useful in teaching how to link body movement (structure) with intent of energy. In sparring/fighting you certainly are not seeking to follow a certain pattern of movements. The forms are more like a stone used to sharpen a knife; the knife is what is actually used in combat not the stone. Forms are just one slice of the Wing Chun training pie.

[AYNIEMON]

cool, thanks for the video. great to practice to :D

[prepperskills]

Good demonstration on the applications of the movements. A nice twist. It was a little rushed, but still pretty good. Thanks for sharing.

@TheMartialartsJedi

Wong Shun Leung was Ip Man's first student. There is little observable difference between their Siu Lim Tau forms.

[TheChristopherHope]

Nice video overall. One observation though on the penultimate movement (i.e. before final triple punch) is that there should be contact between the arms and a brushing and specifically turning motion downwards. My understanding of this is they are not strikes - rather, you are breaking imaginary wrist locks.

I understand forms vary between schools - But I think practitioners from most lineages would share my interpretation.

Everything else looks great to me. Nice one.

[crazyCLONE112]

Nice visualisation. Cool ;)

[salskyline]

I appreciate you showing the applications of the form, now every idiot can understand what the meaning of the forms in wing chun. thank you.

[vigiyoung]

that's cool

[CH1PP0]

Great mixing of the hand movements with bag and dummy strikes, as well as the pole to establish centreline. The only thing I'd suggest to people is to remember to keep your off-hand (the one tucked away in the one-hand movements) elbow tucked as close to perpendicular to your opponent as possible.

I'd love to see all six forms done this way, great job and keep the videos coming!

[intirayami]

I'm afraid that there is one word for this video: tense. Although i will say, power is power, and whether it's from relaxation or muscle it can be very impressive.

[panostheleader]

Awesome video..

Thanxs for uploading it...

[JannahWR]

Agreed with @Draccoloc39...

[frizzzzzzal]

cool

[adigspi]

I like how you clipped in the applications along with the movements. very nicely done!

[XD4133]

@silicon605 forms don't matter they are just textbook what matters is applications and that is what he shows.

[crisbucek2]

Very useful!! ++++++ thanks for posting!

[wingchundouglas]

Here's a really goog Vid of Siu Lim Tao in detail especially for beginners so you can study each movie in slow motion

[mikevern69]

this guy has it i think and very well done applications in the video, thankyou.

[chisaoboy]

Nice job Sifu! First time I've seen someone blend the form with application on video. Bravo! Thank you!

[Lisstel]

Gute und anschauliche Form!

[dmarkey100]

this form is very correct but lacks in ip mans power, please watch my 3rd gen sifu's sui nim tau

siu lim tao - chrysostomou (youtube)

[sweettimez]

The idea to Show the Application in the First Form is really Great. Thank you.

Which lineage are u Training?

[dzetoad3]

As far as I know, the double fak-sau should have an inertia going straight out to hit with the knife of the hand, and not rotating about the shoulder.

[awesomeianTV]

pretty sweet video, but his fook sao is wrong and his elbows need to be higher. But still very good.

[kungfucritic]

Why let people post when you only want positive, quotes . Doesn't your Wing Chun training prepare you to handle criticism and realities of life ??? Shame on you !

[chainpuncher]

nice concept

[kungfucritic]

Just curious is there more applications on the DVD ? as there are several important applications not shown.

[wckwoon]

Very innovative.

[dariusdynamite]

I very much enjoyed the video and the added applications for each move. I am currently studying Wign Chun and am learning the Sil Lim Tao form. I've noticed small, subtle differences in certain techniques that you've executed as opposed to the ones my Sifu teaches me. Never the less, I think that this is a very sound, technical video which anyone seeking to learn Wing Chun can appreciate. Thank you so much....

[Hide1863]

thanks

中々面白い動画でした！

[suzencarson]

This is great! Thanks!

[Morrisseyfan07]

Thank you for this video.

I love the way you show the first forms consistancy through-out  training.

basics are the foundation on which to build, if you have no foundations, you will crumble.

[lordballz32]

excellent form, although i'd like to point out that your elbows are flared out a little too much.

[Wotanallvater]

very good! thank you very much!

but perhaps try to slow the applications down!

[bahdah1234]

i am still trying to understand woosao forward movement at 31 sec into video. any ideas?

[habashi76]

thx for posting this video. super job

[seoulskatematt]

Well I'll be damned!!! Your WC is very impressive and I agree with prototype, showing the application was brilliant =]

Trevor, if you don't mind me asking, how long have you been a student of WC? And who was your Sifu?

[lodafoob]

Can u show the application abit slower trying very hard to catch up lol

[iamPROTOTYPE]

thank you for sharing your hard work. i enjoyed how you showed the applications of the form.

[sikckb8]

Nice video showing the slt and its applications, hey your arms are they unable to go back?

[mossimopooky]

Very well edited. Great to see each specific application. Very helpful! Thanks

[prancelee]

good stuff

[bankofwank]

I appreciate what you've done here.

Its a good way to explain the form with the snippets in between applications.

A very tidy form aswell thankyou.

Peace.
