@@masudiandrew8794 has always happened when we went on our trip together but but it didn’t even happen again I just watched a documentary of it haha 🤣 I I felt the same day as it seems seems very good for the night to you go go into a a lot and have you ever do a good night 💤
I've been practicing MA since 1970 in Asia and the US, many belts/sashes in many styles, including Wing Chun. In the end, what Sifu demonstrated here, is in all of the traditional martial art styles and schools. The problem is, very few understand how to achieve what Sifu just demonstrated with such flow. They want to play (chi sau, kakie, sparring/kumite, dummies, bags, etc.) and don't understand the fundamental movements that are essential in real combat. Sifu Kwok is the real deal, and he just imparted a world of information that takes decades to make 2nd nature.
1.He explained the technicality of body movement for conditioning muscles 2. He cleared the major intention of Chi Sau and using energy efficiently 3. He clarified errors people make while using wing chun 4. He mentioned footwork and agility importance while not moving backwards at all. He taught a lot!
Like my Sifu always says, with Wing Chun, you become a train, once you start to move forward you stop for nothing and going in reverse is impossible. Wing Chun is for close combat and the closer place you can be is toward your opponent occupying the center line.
In the '80s I was very blessed to have Master Kwok turn up twice where we trained in an old church hall where we sparred with him when he was blindfolded. Even then, none of us could land a blow on him.
Simply AMAZING! wow! He's just casually giving away years worth of CORRECT training tips! I've always found Mr. Kwok sir to be very authentic. ty for upload
I love the practical approach of his teaching you just dont see when watching other people teach wing chun or many other martial arts. Not only a great master but great teacher too. He is extraordinary
Sam Kwok is one of the best. His Sifu was GM Ip Ching ( son of Ip Man) who just passed away in January 2020. Great video. Greetings from Sunny Tang Ving Tsun ,Ottawa , Canada.
My Sifu Howard Hunter had the very same Grandmaster. And the very deep journey into the training details foundations are extremely detailed and exact . It’s amazing when you see videos of the early grandmasters how much they had allowed us to learn from them do to the details . They still today are teaching as if you were getting the same instructions. And you can tell the difference in those who use the name of the style . Yet had made up what so often is said to be the original styles . It pays to look hard even five years to find the teacher with the original teachers directly to the grandmasters. Who really had spent a decade or so with them in China . Thank you for these videos . They are very special !
I've been studying VT for 30 years under the Ip Man Lineage from Sunny Tang ( Toronto/ Ottawa ) who studied under Moy Yat (NYC / Hong Kong ,a diciple of Ip Man ) .GM Samuel Kwok knows his stuff. Developing the forms properly will develop your strength and mind. It's not about kicking the shit out of anyone. But if that day comes , the person attacking you better have a " Will ".These GM's are out to teach, not rip off gwai los as one posted. If you spent your money on classes and didn't learn from these Masters, you deserve to lose. Great video. Mr Kwok knows all the above GM's I mentioned. R.I.P. Ip Ching .
@@garthrobinson6972 My Sifu is GM Walter Jakimchuk in Ottawa Canada. GM Sunny Tang , my Si-Gung is in Toronto. Moy Yat was the Sifu of Sunny Tang. Of course Moy Yat was a student of Ip Man. I had the privilege to meet Moy Yat at a seminar in Ottawa 1997. A true honour.
Too bad I never got to meet Moy Yat. I was just a kid when he died. Thanks, I will look up Walter Jakimchuk. My teacher is Wayne Belonoha, another student of Sunny Tang.
It's so refreshing to hear a kung fu master use the term biceps/triceps/isometric exercise. He explains everything in a very scientific manner, and obviously had exposure to other martial arts.
Hello Master Kwok. My father was a Wing Chung teacher in Blackpool and spoke highly of you. You crossed paths in the 80s because he was a video camera man and told me he’d met you.
I just just started taking jeet kune do. And there was an extended wing chun class that over took my jkd class. And Mr. Kwok was teaching as a guest. So without even knowing I was participating in wing chun. Let me tell you I was blown away. It such a diffent way of doing things and the technique is amazing. The movements flowed nicely but when applied pressure can be damaging. So much history behind wing chun. I was delighted to have participated in this class. Thank you Sifu Ceasar and Mr Kwok
This is the Wing Chun I was taught. I spent 15 years doing doorwork/bouncing and this was 90% of my movement. Used palms instead of fists to help with legalities, great transition into stand up grappling/control postures and could do it in confined spaces/crowds. Mr Kwok is the real deal!
@@triplecheesemac Yes, very much so. The biggest weaknesses of Wing Chun practitioners is lack of aerobics, no Iron Palm/Iron Robe conditioning and an over reliance/over prioritizing of Chi Sao. At my peak I was training as hard as a Thai Boxer but using mainly Wing Chun and 90% of Joe Public had nothing to match it. A few times I had to remove people who were like State ranked professional MMA or Boxers/Kick boxers and while they were better conditioned than me, they really couldn't deal with my close in game. WC has more than it's fair share of bullshit artists but if you train it like Mr Kwok here teaches, you will have gained a skill set few styles can match. Tai Chi, Ba Gua and Southern Styles like Li Gar do similar things but WC is almost unparalleled in close in fighting. Cheers!
Excellent video! Thank you so much for interviewing Master Samuel Kwok. I enjoyed every minutes of his explanation on the application of the techniques learned thru the Wooden Dummy, Chi Sao and the forms! I studied Wing Chun for many years in the early 70's and 80's with Sifu Duncan Leung, Sifu Alan Lamb and Sifu Chow out of New York City! It is a great fighting system and became popularized by the late Bruce Lee!
Amazing. He's talking about developing the neuromuscular connection between the brain and the muscles. A crucial aspect of progress in terms of physical fitness.
So amazing, at 12:07, when the Grandmaster invites the "narrator" for lack of a better word into the action, Wow. What a great explanation with no ego which is rare in the Martial Arts World especially the land of Wing Chun where everybody wants to be the greatest teacher. So, simple so refined, no Wing Chun is not the best system. On its own; however, it teaches things that are just amazing, how to do deal with energy, and momentum, attacking the intentions or "Motus Operandi" of the opponent. LOVE IT! Much to be expanded on, to me its the intro course to fluidity among styles.
Watching this brings back memory's I trained with Sifu Kwok for years he also liked to spend alotof time in the Castle Casino master Kwok loves to gamble. Great film tho Sifu Kwok is a brilliant teacher in Ip Man lineage WCK he hasn't aged a day since the 90s brilliant film brings back great memories fair play to master Kwok I wish him all the best in the world thanks for all priceless knowledge Sifu🙏✊️👊👊
Love this interview. One of the best I have seen. Hello Wing Chun is about fighting! He says that several times. Sticking hands happens only in milliseconds of a fight. But we must train like crazy to get those milliseconds to work flawlessly. When you do it creates what I call "the lucky punch". For no Wing Chun practitioners you just think he got a lucky punch in but it wasn't luck, it was sticking hand, finding the bridge. Thank you again for video!
So in 15 minutes he fixed all the common problems made in Wing Chun by other people with believable methods. Footwork, aggression, and no Chi Sau pattycake. Too damn funny. What an awesome guy.
All I know is he performs almost the same movements on the Movie IP MAN ,, I see the real Win Chun from him. he performs and explain every details . Thumbs up Grandmaster Samuel Kwok.
I was lucky more than 20 years ago to have chance to experience wing chun from Slovak guy Robert Ludwig, trainee of Si Fu Branimir Segvic. While seeing this video I am just made sure, I found the true core. as Grand Master Samuel Wong shown and explained the real wing chun
yea these gentlemen are the real deal, you can sense and feel decades of training when you stand with them and they show an example of the tecniques: relaxed still strong and powerful and precise.
MR KWOK MOVES HIS FORM LIKE A WELL ORCHESTRATED SYMPHONIC PIECE ...HARMONY TEMPO AND RYTHM THIS IS BEAUTIFUL ....THE BALLET OF AGGRESSION ...HEALTH AND PEACE 2 ALL YOUR LOVED ONES
Thank you GM Samuel Kwok for sharing insights in Wing Chun and great video. Keep up the great work :D I bought your book Traditional Wooden Dummy and I highly recommended this book, great explanation to understand GGM Ip Man's Wing Chun System :D
i trained many times with master kwok. he was very open and free with his knowledge of wing chun but was also willing to include boxing and bjj and anything else anyone brought up.
Yup! That's what makes him the real deal. He's not clinging to style superiority fantasies like the dopes in MMA and Wing Chun. "BJJ is ground king".... Khabib enters the ring. Muy Thai is best striking..... Tony Ferguson enters the ring. This shit has gotten hilarious. Play the same game too long and others will figure you out.
@@bob-o9865 Just not how situations go man. Learn muay thai, bjj, wrestling or boxing/kickboxing Here's a video of me in a cage fight against a division 1 wrestler: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_reYKyLSb0Q.html
I've been doing a lot of research on Chinese Culture, lately. I've only recently started to dive into the aspects of Martial Arts, I decided to begin with the Ip Man movies. I never watched them, but had heard of them. That was my first exposure to Wing Chun. My entire life, I've always enjoyed a good MA film, but I have to admit -- there was something about Wing Chun that had me spiritually drawn to it. Out of every MA style I've ever seen / watched -- Wing Chun is the only Martial Art that makes me want to actually /learn/ its art. There is something so beautiful and profound about it. I am considering altering the MA style that one of my main character uses, and having them fight strictly in Wing Chun. (This might cause me to have to undo a crap load of previous character development, but I love WC so much, it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make). This video was one of the most informative ones that I've come across, thus far. This has helped me tremendously for research on my character. Thank you so much for uploading this!! Bless!
i love when u look into their eyes u can see that they r a little angry having to realizie they know so little of wha tthey tried to learn,but be grateful to this masters lesson
I love the stuff he is mentioning about how people are fixated on the form instead of thinking wing chun is used for the sole purpose of fighting, along with how theres resistance where nobody would just stand there to get punched. Plus seeing him move at his age looks very impressive
In the context its optimal for people with thin and small postures. Wing chun is created for fast and sharp punches, even the basic stance is a triangle pointing towards the opponent. So in basic sense the smaller the posture the sharper it is. Ofc this is just the basic, when a person reach a certain level of practice and understanding, the final form is a formless wing chun that evolves belonging to that person alone. In other words all the principles are there but the form of fighting and stance can be completely different.
I like the way he has set up the dummy with pads. Means he can strike it with full power unlike many in wing chun who have to pull their punches when working with the dummy. 👍
Salaam sifu..true original form.this is such a special insight into how and what tsun wing chun is and application. You sifu in my eyes are a living legend with the perfect art trained to perfection . Thank you for this insight and tuition.. You can see the power and form when sifu hits that dummy on neck break is game over lol .
I use that kind of blocking when I do not want to hurt, just not get hit. If you make and maintain contact, you control their mind. After they can't hit you and their arms get tired, it's over. Sometimes you may get attacked and not wish to retaliate. It is also a good way to trap. The angle of the arm is important, let it slide a little to reduce impact. I got inspired by sticky hands 40 years ago, I love it. I used it to teach my kid.
i absolutely loved this video start to finish and its no coincidence it popt up since i watched ip man at my brothers 2 days ago ive always been interested in wing chun since my dad spoon fed me bruce lee videos from age 5 and up. one thing you learn for sure from watching this is dont mess with samuel kwok cos he will mess you up ill be starting wing chun lessons soon as ive got the money
First Wing Chun master who talks some sense, when he said people focus too much on Chi Sau, and 1 punch should be enough - if you punch a guy 5 times and he's still standing you better run...., and then he goes to talk about footwork when too many WC people just stand still and do weak Chi Sau....so he's the only Wing Chun master without BS.because he tells the truth.
So that's what he said at 17:00: "You better run like hell." When he said "One punch too much. You can't take even one punch" I wonder if he meant 'one punch should be enough to take someone out' or 'you should never get hit by the opponent'.
