Can Wing Chun Work Against Bigger Opponents? | Sifu Francis Fong 

Sifu Francis's face is pure love and happiness when Kevin figures out the concept on only the 2nd try. Very quick learner and a blessing.

I am so appreciative that Sifu Francis is willing to share his knowledge here and that Kevin facilitates that. Really feels like something special to learn from someone with so much experience

I would love to be taught any martial art with a Sifu as knowledgeable and passionate as Sifu Francis. Always in awe watching these, seeing someone so in tune with his craft.

I used to laugh at these videos. I thought they were BS. Then I started training judo and jiu jitsu and realized the hand fighting is what sets up the attack. Came back to this and holy shit... it's the same for striking. Wing Chun is like the deep study of engagement for all martial arts.

Sifu's understanding is mind boggling. And you, Sifu Kevin are amazing in your own right!

As a bigger guy (granted with a background in wing chun and other Chinese martial arts), I found that using my reach in striking and superior strength in grappling is a good tactic for more skilled hand fighters.

As a 6'7" dai si hing, I am constantly being asked by my sidi how to fight against taller opponents. Thank you Kevin and Fong Sifu.

Very insightful look into what you guys do. Thanks for sharing Kevin 😎🙏🏾

People will understand the real power of Wing Chun when they actually experience it in live practice. Many people underestimate the efficiency of a dynamic martial arts like Wing Chun because they don't see any aggression in a Wing Chun practitioner in videos. But Wing Chun is a soft yet most powerful and effective combat system and science.

OUTSTANDING lesson as always !! Plz keep up the great work. LOVE how y'all teach . Peace n God Bless

Thank you. This is really great stuff. I never understood these concepts before. So well explained!

I like the attention to body mechanics in your martial art. Good video.

This was very insightful, thanks for sharing it

I love how you love practice and learn always positive and happy. Personally i love TKD but i respect and admire all the MA styles. Your channel is a joy to watch. Greetings from Greece.

it's a pleasure to see Sifu Wong. We clearly see in this video that the most important thing is not the movements, but the structure of the body and working with pressure. Thanks for sharing. the WTACPARIS team.

Wow! Amazing video! I genuinely laughed out loud watching how everything all came together. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent demonstration!

This is gold! Thanks for sharing!

😮😊 this is amazing … could you make a follow up where you dissimate it a bit (it went a bit fast)… maybe with a connection to the forms …. I would love to see more of this theme.. where there is defence against the straigh hit, hook and kick (against a big attacker/oppponent) . This is brilliant .

I love this videos, helps me a lot in my kung fu trainings

Sifu Francis Fong is the real thing...every time I DOUBT THE EFFECTIVENESS OG WING CHUN, I SEE HIM ON MR LEE'S CHANNEL AND I'M A BELIEVER.

This is next level stuff. Wish there was somewhere nearby to train this.

I've been getting into Wing Chun more lately due to not being able to practice other martial arts I'm more accustomed to due to disabilities getting worse (I walk with a cane and have back, hip, and shoulder pain constantly even though I'm 31 and it's been a problem since my early 20's) So far your videos on the subject have been super helpful! I'm a bigger guy in height and I have broad shoulders but being 6ft. 3in. tall and broad shouldered I'm also not very strong and I only weigh 190 pounds so I'm a bean pole. So far I've found the upper body strikes and the grappling most applicable but due to my legs not being the sturdiest, I tend to avoid too many low kicks outside of a couple of basic ones and some sweeps that I like to use for takedowns. Your videos have really opened my eyes and made Wing Chun very viable for me despite my failing body and my limitations, so I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your work and what it has done for me.

Wow this is an amazing lesson with sifu Fong . My goodness what we wouldnt have given to see this in the old days . Thank yku for this brother !!! Everyone seeing this should donate $$ love you

That was some great gems of knowledge there!

Kevin,Sifu is a genius! He has forgotten more wing chun than I could ever hope to learn lol. You are the luckiest man in the world Kevin! Be well my friend......Stephen

Keep up with spreading the hand-fighting knowledge kevin

Amazing teaching!

I think both Kevin Lee & Francis Fong are amazing instructors , I hope one day I get to meet them both and learn some Wing Chun.

Its dirty but another trick you can do to help control tall people is step on their foot as you strike them so they stumble or fall. Be careful using this with friends if they fall and you keep your foot on their foot it may break their ankle! ALOT of people leave their lead leg way out and its super easy to simply step on their foot and keep your foot on their foot and trap them.

Drinking my coffee to get ready for my WC class at 0900. Perfect timing.

Dude this is so good!

Keep these tips coming! Us short kings need to know what works best!

Such a great principle 💯

Great stuff !

I would love to see a reverse of this video. As a tall-ish guy, it would be very interesting to see how Sifu would recommend avoiding a shorter partner/opponent bringing me into their range using these techniques.

Sifu fong is amazing What a great teacher!

Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can I just say that I love that his ad was for a massage chair. I feel like all the martial art channels I see are advertising like survival or tactical gear. I don’t think I’ll ever use a MRE, but a massage chair? That’s a buy 😂

Congrats on getting a sponsor! Well deserved!

Useful Kev

Excellent!

Amazing...👏👏👏👏

Thank you Sifu ✨

I am 5'3" and have to agree with all the Sifu has taught and can state with experience...it works.

Está muy buena la enceñanza

I love watching your videos purely on you being a true martial artist. You are a good man.

Beautiful!

Sifu Fong is AMAZING! Now you're gonna have some more tricks next time you spar Varga! LOL

Great exercise for the tall person as well.

Kevin Lee thank you for your talents in Marital Arts and your willingness to teach these techniques to someone who knows nothing about Wing Chun. Do you give On- line lessons if so what is your Web-site and cost. Thank you!!

6:30 The facial expressions and reaction of the tall guy tells you this works. He is clearly experienced, proficient and much bigger, but every time he laughs you know, he knows, he just got caught.

Wing chun's so underrated, I have a question, do you think that wing chun works best when you have a person cornered or against the cage, to me that's where most of the theory snaps to place and makes sooo much sense, thank you regardless🔥

Excelent Sifu !!!

Thank you

Yeah if you think you will stand head on with a larger opponent you have another thing coming. It's better to move to the blind side to avoid the other arm and leg

Very lucky to be with Sifu there

Thanks Kevin that was Soo cool .I'm 5ft 3 I need help lol

This teacher is very intelligent

This is GREAT!! Lynda will love you for this! Now she will beat my long arms even more!! (help)

Very very nice

How long have you been training? If you don't mind my asking.

Most ppl think WC is BS until that first lop sau and heel palm to the chin

Amazing how can one come train with you guys

Kevin, does this work against a conventional boxer not using wing-chin

wing chun is the "beginning of the fight" you need to have ruthless follow up to stop a Big Man, or it will just piss him off and he will smash you. what if he is a good BJJ man or a wrestler?

💥Excellent🕺Instruction💥

Kevin's lethal looking palm strikes scare me 😮😂😅

Kevin anything will work against a larger, complying, non-resisting opponent as in this video, its just theoretical . Would the sifu test himself on camera against the opposite? If not why not? I think you know.

Where is this!?

I thought the whole point was dealing with a larger stronger opponent.

I really would like to know whether the sensitivity method (Chi-sao) works when the opponent has heavy clothes on.

.... so... how do we use wing chun against a smaller opponent?

Nice video, but it’s hard to see what Sifu is doing with his elbows from a side shot. Perhaps there is an excuse to buy a camera drone, for overhead shots? :)

Francis needs to see his Si Hing Kwok Ying Wah. His chi sau is week!

5:55

Look up wrestling hand fighting to see how someone would appropriately react to this, not complying with the movements of the person using the technique.

Wing chun was developed by monks for women monks. It is about tactical movements to deflect and redirect kinetic force. It is not designed to impart power or defeat your opponent. In my opinion it is great for setting yourself up for the second response which is to utilize some other form of attack, which can be a martial art or use of a weapon. Wing chun looks like it’s for attacking only when a man employs it. Wing chun alone will get the shit kicked out of you.

Beautiful intelligence

control the opponent with elbow stength

But in fact, your oponent dont follow your hand, you see in mma, wingchun almost not functioning

It's really good.... Thanks

👏👏👏👍👍👍😁

The answer is no. As a former soldier i can tell you that if you try that with someone skilled in military hand to hand combat like Krav Maga it will not end well.

Everybody is talking about how to fight taller oppenents but no ones about how to fight smaller opponents🤔

With real Wing Chun power, yes. Also..

❤❤❤❤❤wing chun

Wing chun vs only Wing chun haha

I think grapplers could learn a lot from some wing chun sparring.

Sifu Francis Fong You Should Try Your Hands With John Lineker's "Hands of Stone" Who will be knocked out? ru-vid.comf94NfrsSq54 ,

wew... kevin's good but master francis made him look like it's his first time with wing chun lol

Very nice 👌 India

Wow somebody showing real wing Chun…my Sifu will not let us show the actual concept online…

Reminds me of like a flowing Mantis instead of a grabbing Mantis.

Learning for fun is ok😅

Yup but....... A actual boxer puts a stop to that slapping wingo chung stuff

Sugar Sean Sullivan would destroy both of them. It would be an embarrassment to Sifu. I picked Seam because their weight would be comparable but puck any jiu-jitsu trained fighters and Whang Chung would be no more!

Demonstration subjects are trying to be helpful to the sifu and that's great. But I assure you, dear students, when you're pretending that you're losing balance every time your sifu moves a pinkie for example, you're actually not helpful at all, it looks stupid and fake. Especially that dumb trample thing. Nobody actually does that in reality, and at best you're showing that haven't even learned basic balance and basic relaxation in your classes. I know where this is coming from, it's a common tactic employed by fake martial arts masters, especially in arts like tai chi and aikido that sometimes like to pretend that they use supernatural forces. But Francis Fong doesn't need fakery, he doesn't need you to try to make him look good because he's the real deal by himself. Just be natural, please.

Γιατί το κάνετε τόσο γρήγορα σε εμάς θέλετε να δείξετε η στον εαυτό σας σιγά σιγά να βλέπουμε

Why is this stuff never shown sparring in spar gear?!
