His Wing Chun Blows My Mind | Sifu Francis Fong 

We live in a video age so you having no Contant just shows that you’re full of it.

@@tonyvalente i dont even know what you attempted to say there but... ok?

@@wildcat31772 I think he said no martial art is superior to all other martial arts. Unless I'm mistaken, I feel like it was a pretty clear statement.

@@PixelPatrik well i believe the guy deleted his comment, but it said nothing about what you just stated. It wasn't even a full sentence.

Oh sry my bad, I didn't notice you replied to someone else 🤪

You are very fortunate to learn from him. You must be pretty well rounded in the style. Keep practicing!

The school was on plasamore drive off of piedmont in midtown atlanta. A chinese coworker of my mom gave her francis fong's business card for me to study with him. My mom never would sign me up. I was 12 years old and a perfect age to begin training. I later went on to study taekwondo and jujitsu.

@@derrick_smitty mothers are absolute killjoy shits at times. They treat you like a Ken doll.

I was in the plasamore school also. Got there in 1986. Still training with Sifu. He hasn’t lost a step. Amazing man.

@@securehealtheap awesome!!

He continue to amaze me everyday!

Not even close on Ramsey Dewey's channel they had a kung fu guy once who actually used kungfu techniques in actual sparring .

There he is. The requisite MMA doubter. You look at a drill and complain it’s not sparring. Do you get mad when people hit focus mitts and don’t show sparring. Or, teach an umpa drill and don’t show the roll. I never did WC with Francis Fong, but I did get to train Muay Thai with him once in the 90s. He’s a full instructor under Chai Sirisute. He’s a phenomenal instructor. And hits like a mule kicks.

I agree, never seen it applied to grappling on the ground before, amazing.

I love how he is willing to experiment and pressure test his style and continue to develop the art. This is what Bruce Lee alwways wanted for martial arts in the modern era.

❤

Been training most of my life this guy is legit.

There is video of Carlson Gracie training with Sam Kwok. Carlson Gracie was a fan of Wing Chun.

I do appreciate what he says about not using programmed answers but rather looking for solutions.

If you trained bjj since 2007 i bet you would beat him easily though. Even in his prime.

it's all wing chun. jujitsu is Japanese.

Jiu jitsu, IS WUSHUKUNGFU!!! IS QI NA & SHUAI JIAO!!! Chinese. Kungfu's is A PRINCIPAL'S martial arts in the WORLD, father & mother mabWruh...

Is that wing chun, qi na, shuai jiao. Jiu jitsu IS wushukungfu.

cause it does not work

In the 80ies it was already done.

MMA works, anyone that thinks W.C will work in fight your crazy. Its bullshido ​@@benito4649

Good point, off balance is off balance, won't matter how many belts you've got.

Yup. I had a terrible balance and I learned lots. Anyway I still have some issues in daily routine. I have to focus and everything works well 😅😟😔

pencak?

@@get_it_done4580 you mean "pentaj silst" 🤝

Exactly framing is the most important thing in martial arts. Especially those that comes from knife combat like silat and wc. It's all about fighting in the safest way possible. Control is a must to safely disarm or attack an opponent with a blade and it translated into those martial art beautifully.

👍Shifu... that WING CHUN, QI NA & SHUAI JIAO!!! Wushukungfu, is incredible. Kungfu's is A PRINCIPAL'S martial arts in the WORLD, father & mother mabWruh...

To bad it does t work if your opponent is larger than you

​@@williamnicholson8133 Ah, I see you tried it yourself.... Of course. At a certain point a larger opponent outweighs technique. Assuming the opponent knows what he is doing. But a few kg wouldn't make a difference with this guy unless you're an actual well experienced martial artist. So to say "it won't work because weight" is just dumb tbh.

Check out tony watts wing chun

Beautiful 🙏🏾❤️‼️

Gz Rory. The transcendence is his Legacy behind.

@@KevinLeeVlog can you apply wrestling techniques in jiujitsu?

Difficult to think a WingChun master to do BJJ due to its different roots and age. Id be more inclined he learned JJJ because of the wide positions on the ground, spreading and locking.

@@TBButtSmoothy could be old style Judo or he was training and sparring with a bjj master or at least black belt. I would go with Judo since he uses a lot the kata gatame and not the "standard" side control.

My uncle Leo was the coach of the Canadian Judo team and I was always so in awe of him, on and off the mat. His Dojo was attached to his house and when I was a little girl I loved it when we would go visit because you entered his house through the Dojo area and it always seemed like such a magical, mystical, and mysterious place. I just loved watching them train. Watching this video made me feel weirdly the same but I couldn't figure out why until I saw your comment about the Judo. @@gesundheitstips2197

Well, he's certainly done some BJJ, probably a bit later in life. I know he's been in contact with the Machado's for sure, maybe some others.@@TBButtSmoothy

IS THAT WING CHUN, QI NA & SHUAI JIAO!!! Wushukungfu. Jiu jitsu comes from KUNGFU. Kungfu's is A PRINCIPAL'S martial arts in the WORLD, father & mother mabWruh

Makes sense- probably where Kevin's mindset came from

I think he was communicating the shootwrestling / catchwrestling mentality of grappling. I guess he crosstrained with those guys

Thank you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Him knowing the counters is absolutely crazy. Thats the part that gets me, wing chun seems to be very efficient in its actions. Get a good position, strike as hard as you can as many times as fast as you can and then either pull them away or push them away right after. A straight blend of offense and defense. But when he tells him to do something on him, and then has like 5 different counters if he was in the same spot its just crazy the amount of raw muscle memory and experience there is. No wasted movement, all quick but all precise like daaaamn

I think the biggest takeaway is that it's all about the concepts of an art. When you understand concepts and principles, you can incorporate them freely into anything else

Thank you too!

Never too late to start again. Give it a whirl!

no its not. do your fou lim tao, 1000 punches, and get yourself a sau ba. just takes 20 minutes man

I close my eyes when doing chi sao so that I can listen.

I can't tell if this is a racist joke I'm laughing so hard

@@malachite072 i felt the same man

It is faster that way

Lol dude he is repeating the same shit for years. Wing Chun is a joke

@@christianvaixco196Sir Spamalot, are you enjoying yourself?

I agree!

BJJ players could learn alot from this. Not enough feeling, sensitivity in bjj imo

🗼 1:29

@@DustinLikesJiujitsu more like Sifu here can learn a lot from bjj. Like getting on a stance

@@adrianalsina3435 don't be that person. Bjj is the end all be all, it's not. From your verbage you're a novice or less grappler. In the end, if you have basic understanding of body mechanics, you'll be OK with 90% of the people out there. He's teaching self defense not a sport aspect. Also, it's a level of respect, you don't go balls out with your 60+ year old instructor. As you age, your knowledge rises as athletic ability diminishes, without the right mindset, you won't be lucky enough to be training well into your senior years. You think Rickson couldn't destroy Helio?

Any decent mma fighter would rock him. Most people would not stand still and let him grab them

@@bragethedrage2467 And any MMA fighter in the world would get rocked by an average adult male lion. So what? Not every martial artist in the world is training to compete against a single other trained fighter, or to chase the dream of becoming the baddest MF on the planet. Some do it just for exercise, some do it to be better equipped to defend against an unprovoked attack. Show me anyone, martial artist or otherwise, who has been working on their craft for five decades and there will be something amazing there to see.

@@bragethedrage2467remember to at least make sure your mma boyfriend is also 74 years old, just to make it fair, eh.

@@bragethedrage2467 who’s to say he’s not going to still manage to grab them though?

@@bragethedrage2467 You are a dick. The man is in his 70s, and you expect what? He's over 30 years past when most guys are through with cage fighting. Appreciate the man for his skills and what he has accomplished or move on.

💯💯💯💯🔥🔥

This man can flow between arts!

@@KevinLeeVlog Yessir! Be water my friend!

The Original ancient fighters that learned Wing Chun, had former training in different arts. They would have already have been fairly Jacked. Wing Chun was actually designed for, and used... to teach a secret underground group of Rebellion fighters.. to try to take over the corrupted govt. of that Era. They created a combat only artform, that had the most effective combat technology of that time (mainly from internal arts, like Tai Chi). Arts back then, used to take 15 to 20 yrs to fully master, due to their complex depth. They didnt want to wait that long, so they made a reduced art that could be learned and fully mastered in less than 6yrs of daily hardcore efforts. They chose many fighters that already had previous training.. so that Wing Chun added to their pre-existing strength and conditioning base. This is why WC doesnt seem to have much grappling (it prefers lethal strikes, rather than "Nice" moves), nor an advanced level of Iron-Body Conditioning, nor even a set hardcore workout routine / foundational based exercises. That, and barefist sparring was something every one of these guys would have done... but is rarely seen being done these days, by modern practitioners. Now... you dont need to have super bulky muscles to be combat effective / lethal. More important, is the development of super strong and flexible tendons. Thats where most of Internal Power comes from. That said... you do need a certain amount of muscle and fitness.. as well as a well conditioned body/bones. As if there was ever any bone to bone clashes.. even by accident.. you would be out of commission, if you didnt have that previous Iron Body conditioning. A lot of modern WC and other modern Kung Fu practitioners, just do not realize how things used to be. And frankly, many people today, are just not willing to put in the kind of hardcore efforts (and time) that it takes to achieve realistic, and fully functional ...combat level results. And for the record, virtually every other Chinese art, has Chi-Na (Chinese grappling/locking methods) as well as Chinese throwing and Wrestling methods.

@@johndough8115 this is some interesting Martial Arts history for sure.

Bro... judo & jiu jitsu ARE Wushukungfu... COMES FROM qi na & shuai jiao, KUNGFU.

In his 70s? I'm impressed.

Yeah, I trained with Sifu in the early 2000’s for several years. He was in his 50’s, and when I tell you he doesn’t look a day older than I remember. His speed, skill, and technique is still the best I’ve ever seen. Every class my jaw was on the floor in awe of him. He’s one of the greatest people I’ve ever met in my life.

hehe

agreed. old man aint shit

Same and I heard Atlanta is fun come to

If you're looking for a better practitioner it would be Philip Bayer

Plenty of people train in the arts. Plenty of people train many different arts. The key difference, is in actual full "MASTERY" of what you have trained in. You can know 1000 different things, and be very poor at all of them.. and have them all fail when you need them most. Or, you could have full mastery of a few things, and have every one of them work flawlessly.. even in the most critical and stressful of times. I tell people, that a Non-Mastered tech, is like trying to use a Dull plastic butter knife, to cut through a tough piece of over-cooked steak. It becomes so futile.. as you end up spending most of your efforts trying to constantly recover from all of your continual failures... and eventually, the OP will end up defeating you. Very few people these days, are willing to put in the kind of time and efforts that it takes, to take their techs to full combat level of mastery. It takes a lot of hardcore efforts, pain, and sacrifice. Ive had artists from other styles over to cross train with me... and after one, 2 to 3hr session... they would typically never return. It was just too much hardcore work for them (and I was going easy on them).

The choke here is called a hand gun choke. Its good to make them squirm into another submission. It's not a 100 strong but more unexpected. I helps to set up another move if your not strong enough to use the hand gun choke. An Ezekiel requires a totally different pressure and hand to forearm without gi and it's a vascular Cor.artery choke. This hand gun choke applies pressure to the front windpipe. It came from the gi they say the Ezekiel. Anyways it's 💯 hand gun choke. Neil melanson the ground marshall has a video on it. I liked these techniques.
