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.

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

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

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

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.
