The speed thing is most likely due to it being filmed on 8mm film at 24fps (frames per second), most digital video these days plays at 25fps, that would explain why the clip looks slightly sped up. Yip Man is clearly doing these forms insanely fast though regardless, so much respect!
@yidaki82 No worries, I think the info on FPS is accurate!! But I could be wrong! It also occured to me that if he was using an old 8mm camera it's likely he'd be limited to film reels that could only record about 2 and a half minutes at a time, so to get it all on film he'd also need to do the forms pretty quick!
@Shinryuken15 Whoa! that was 7 months ago!! LOL. (Well, my training is pretty much once a week though..) Well, I pretty much know Siu Lim Tao like the back of my hand. xD I'm gonna be starting Chi Sao pretty soon.
There is no honor in fighting.

I missed the gum sao part of the form. Was it too fast or did he omit?

His pak sao is so short, he barely reachs his shoulders.
