Masterclass Steve Dyde Wing Chun Bong Sau 

A common sense approach to wing chun principles great stuff

Excellent. All the best from Chicago Wing Chun. -Dominick Izzo

I've been training in Wing Chun in a South London club for several years and Steve Dyde is one of the best instructors on youtube, wish I could attend his club also.

Excellent explanation Mr. Steve Dyde, very precise, full of details, very educational, gives you alot of ideas on the correct way to do the technique. @00:19 A bong lop punch aint gonna work againts a quick 1-2punch combination and Steve Dyde explained how to use the bong sao correctly. This video makes you know the difference between real wingchun and bullshit wingchun. Some wingchun sifus just demonstrate wingchun techniques without explaining clearly to the student the pros and cons of the technique. A good sifu should let the student understand clearly whats the purpose of the technique, its advantages & disadvantages and how to execute the technique correctly. i think Steve Dyde explained it very well.

Great video, very thought provoking.

This is great stuff! I love how you explain using wc techniques in a realistic way and really just the aspect of a real fight and using what works. To many vids on here that fail to stress that. Keep it up and much blessings!

Many moons later I have read your comment and would like to explain..Firstly sorry for the long delay :-) What I meant was apply the energy and positions when training the form just as you would use it in application..Too often we see half hearted performance in the form, especially Chum Kil where the "Yu Ma2 (turning power ) isn't apparent and therefore the form will have a lack of understanding as intention should be part of the form. Hope this helps to explain. regards Stephen

This is Why Master Stephen Dyde is one of the Best......

Thanks Steve nice explanation there , good stuff

Thankyou very appreciated

This is top notch instruction right here!

How can anybody dislike this video be real!!!

Bong never stays.

Bong sau,is only for transition of changing sides,and if ur caught off guard and it's a last defense!

Superb stuff - thanks!

Awesome

Trenoops i think what Steve means is the the movements in the form aren't always used or applied in the exact way they are set out in the forms so don't take them too literally but on the other hand when you practice form use a strong energy with a striking intent , this way even tho you may not use the movements the way the form is set out you will still apply form movements with good power , energy and intent

Thank you Phil for your comment

At the start i was like, "This guy is an asshole." By the end I was like, "This dude is ace."

This is good information. I did noticed you contradicted (or at least confused the issue) yourself when you said @ 5:39 that you only use the forms for principles and not for techniques, but you also said @ 6:42 that you should train your form as you would apply it. Please explain further. I have a point of view on this, but I am trying to understand yours.

Nice. Would expect to turn that bong to a tahn when punching with the other hand

bong sau fingers dont point at the floor, they point in a plane from your centerline. the climbing elbow of biu jee is not a bong sau

Bong is unsafe, best to slip and use Pak either inner and outer gate

1: the two low arms you reference from chun kiu are not bong saos, they are in fact cau saos. (pressure on the inside) 2: the suppressive elbow is called Kwai-jarn, it is also known as the kneeling elbow. 3: countering the kwai-jarn-da (kwai with a punch) is easy, just kwan-sao... ...do you even know what a kwan-sao is? probably not, it's a super secret that was hidden from the forms.
