Ip chun chi sau Shaun Rawcliffe and others.wmv

A short video of Ip Chun performing chi sau with sifu Shaun Rawcliffe and a few others (who I don't know the names of, sorry) at the first ving tsun conference. I hope the people in the video don't mind me posting this, I'll take it down if it's a problem with any of you guys. This is uploaded without permission but with epic respect for their skill and contribution to the art. Sifuchen.

It looks like the man on the right is scared. And why don't I see any kicking and throws ?

[Shindai]

@erbake He looks intimidated coz he's a foot shorter than everyone else lol. There are no kicks or throws because throws aren't the focus of this style (which is a weakness), and kicks at that range aren't the ideal attack. Better to keep balance and rely on structure and hand techniques.

idont understand but i have a respect for this old man

[Shindai]

@anpredictable What don't you understand? Perhaps I could help explain it.

Can be taught to anyone. I hate when guys (mainly Ving Tsun guys) try to out muscle others, Ving Tsun us different in my eyes than Wing Chun, Ving Tsun uses way too much power and tries to outmuscle and outspeed people

[Shindai]

@SnakePIissken I saw a comment on a wing chun video once where someone said a nonChinese couldn't master wing chun. It's funny what some people believe. Speed is definitely important, but structure is moreso than muscle.

[reissyboy64]

this is fantastic, there is no way anyone is laying a finger on you with this amazing martial art style, you cant even be grabbed either and look at the size of those guys and yet there been schooled by someone a fraction of there weight

MMA is both a sport and an art.

There are actually many gyms now that teach MMA as style itself. They teach all the various styles used in MMA fights in one gym.

I also think MMA(the style itself that is being taught now) works better than most traditional martial arts for the streets too.

And I KNOW that real MMA is better than all traditional martial arts in the street because their is no limit to the "style".

[aswashingtonwrites]

@SkemeKOS MMA is a sport, not a martial art. It is comprised of various martial arts. Something Bruce Lee did with his journey into the study of martial arts, outside of his base art of Wing Chun. MMA is more a system of what works best for the ring against sport competitors. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that these guys aren't fabulous fighters/martial artist, but MMA itself is not a martial art.

@SkemeKOS obviously your going to get 'touched' have you ever heard of a non contact type of martial arts, -__- I cant even be bothered to explain what figure of speech is to you lol, on like a year old comment, dont take it out on me because you got battered by someone doing karate!! wing chun is amazing - grab a leaflet!!

[SkemeKOS]

@YauwTaoCiu

I understand where youre coming from, but you have to understand that many people(myself included) find it disrespectful if someone takes it easy on you, when youre supposed to be better than them.

Maybe the old man is glad that they werent taking it easy on him?

[SkemeKOS]

@reissyboy64

To say you cant be touched or grabbed is complete bull. I hate to break it to you but youre wrong...very wrong.

@erbake

Hes over 75 years old is far lighter than most if not all the other guys! Theres no kicks and takedowns/throws etc because wing chun doesnt include those techniques unfortunately.

Im not a big fan of wing chun(I prefer MMA) but I have respect for any old guys who are training in their art.
