Sifu Wong Zen Yem - Choy Lee Fut demo at Chinese New Year Celebration at Fighthouse New York City Form name is: Sup Gee Leen Wan Kow Da Feb 2010 choyleefut-hungsing.blogspot.com/ ru-vid.com...
Lord have mercy this Instructor is the Real Deal. Choy Lee Fut hand strikes come from all types of angles which makes it a very highly effective combat Art. Ous.
Adrian Li seeing this video led to me thinking youtube was going too fast, then I thought my computer was messed up, then I looked on my phone and everything was the same speed and I thought I was hallucinating. it took me a while to convince myself otherwise. it just looks unreal.
This is very good indeed :) if at first you thought this was speed up, you should also watch a dvd of Sifu Paolo Cangelosi (Hung Gar, Tang Lang or in internal kung-fu, Tai-Ji and Bagua...) Best regards
@MartialArtWay With respect, Bruce Lee's friend and student, Dan Inosanto, said that Choy Li Fut was one of the many styles that Lee trained in, along with Wing Chun, Wu Tai Chi Chuan, Western Boxing, Épée fencing, Judo, and Jujutsu. According to Bruce Lee, "Choy Li Fut is the most effective system that I've seen for fighting more than one person," "one of the most difficult styles to attack and defend against," and "the only Kung Fu style that fought the Thai boxers and hadn't lost."
@MartialArtWay After watching this video, I took a plane from Rio de Janeiro to NYC and hastened to meet Sifu Wong. He IS the real deal, not only because he's the fastest and most precise martial art I've ever seen, but specially because he's the most considerate Sifu I've ever met. Now I'm very proud to be his student.
his speed and obvious power are amazing. To the people who think the video is sped up, you are wrong, if you look at the movements of the people around him, and the drummer, you can see that it is in regular time, i can see by the way it is performed why it looks that way, and without many years it's hard to have that speed, he's put in the time and effort and really has the speed
Absolutely stupendous performance. Precise movements, amazing speed, notable power. I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, but paying a visit to Sifu Wong will be a self-imposed obligation in my next trip to NY.
Nice form! I'm just starting CLF. I can only wish to be this damn good. It's hard to go from a hard style like TKD to Choy Lay Fut in the looseness and circular movements but , train ,train and train!
Actually Bruce Lee did learn Choy Lee fut, (from the Lacies) as well as the Jin Wu curriculum of chinese martial art in Hong Kong. (How else did he know the tiger, and crane forms, he performed in his screen test?) Yip Man was not his only master.
Just awesome. I'm still partial to Japanese martial arts, but if I were to learn kung fu, I'd seek out this style. If I could learn it from this man, all the better.
@stupidkid915 BTW This guy blew everyone away at this demo. I have never seen anyone move as fast as him. And I've been doin Martial Arts for 30 years. Was pretty amazing. ...peace
This is by far my favourite C.L.F. demonstration. a very good example of how efective a kung fu form can be in the "personal defense" sense. the claw makes me wonder who truly cames first, if is the Leopard Style, or the Choy Lai Fat. Authentic south form.
@MartialArtWay bruce lee also said : Choy Li Fut is the most effective system that I've seen for fighting more than one person. [It] is one of the most difficult styles to attack and defend against. Choy Li Fut is the only style [of kung fu] that traveled to Thailand to fight the Thai boxers and hadn't lost.
but thai people doesn't know this Choy Li Fut my first time heard this Choy Li Fut from chinese people in youtube he say exactly as you said but thai people never talk or know about Choy Li Fut from muay thai history has record loss to some karate from aroud 1960 but never record loss to any tradition kung fu. well may be has some possibility that Choy Li Fut fight only low ranking muay thai fighter and thailand doesn't recognize.
awesome...its nice to see intent, most of what you see in any kung fu forms esp when done by a westerner. is a lack of intent, they are looking like 'why am i doing this' but want to learn a traditional art yet lack the commitment, which is why most forms done by those who really dont give a shit other to say ' i know kung fu' looks very ordinary.
@MartialArtWay Bruce Lee also used choy li fut in JKD. Bruce not only learned wing chun. choy li fut was also a style that he practised. but he specialised in wing chun more. Thats why you see it more in JKD. Not that i am a JKD fan or something. I practise CLF in Holland since i was a little kid. im 24 now. Something else, A very good performance sifu Wong showed here. you can really see the loose energy while keeping his stances really firm and strong!!! CLF the Best!!!!!!
@MartialArtWay Bruce knows Choy Li Fut as well. Some of the guys from Buk Sing choy li fut taught Bruce some Choy li Fut techniques. I think it was one of the Lacie Brothers.
I can't believe some people have been dumb enough to suggest that the video has been sped up when the drummer and movements of the audience clearly haven't. The stupidity of some people on RU-vid consistently proves that only two things will ever be infinite, and I am not sure about the universe either.
@MartialArtWay Bruce Lee's first art was tai chi actually. Wing Chun was his second and the one he stuck to until he started doing his own thing. Supposedly, he had great respect for Choi Li Fut if yuo believe the wikipedia Choi Li Fut entry and may have incorporated parts of it into JKD.
Jeez. So THIS is what my sifu described as power that i would need to be able to withstand if I wanted to get good with wing chun. It's fun and games until someone smacks you with that kind of power! This is pretty awesome :D. The stance, footwork, and unity between torso/legs makes me..... drool......... *nerdgasm!!!!!!*
