Wing Chun - The Ultimate Demonstration 

Ip Man popularized Wing Chun. Bruce Lee was Ip Man's student!

To all the MMA fighters out there you should all remember that the father of MMA was bruce lee. His main foundation came from wing chun it self to begin with, so please show some respect to all martial arts...as you should always keep in mind that there will always be good competition in all arts...so get your facts right and research on actual facts before you sound out. There will always be some one bigger and stronger then you.

Yes. The master is clearly showing so complicated Wing Chun skills that average individuals cannot see the linkage of them at all. I learned the depth of Wing Chun from this video.

Lovely to watch. these guys were only demonstrating. Imagine what they could do for real. I am so proud to be a WC Student.

It's called tradition and style. Much like dancing is. It's practically their form of dancing. It's a movement based on flow and practice. As with most traditional martial arts, it's ancient, it's legend, it's practice, it's kung fu. It may not win in a today's fight, but it's about the tradition and the art form, not necessarily the "who can beat up who." Now take what I said and stop arguing.

Don't knock someone else's style just because you lack the comprehension to see the applications. This video is a demo of reflex training...the actual fighting applications look much different (IF you see them at all before you get KO'd). Just because you don't want to participate doesn't mean you should hate. Challenge a WC master for yourself. When you get out of the E.R. we can talk again.

This is a very good representation of chi sau sparing. Performed correctly and with great control. Performed in this manner, nobody has to get hurt. No egos

Wing Chun, as I understand it, is the art of using your opponents movements to disable then. For instance, if someone comes as you with a strike, you would not only block them but use their momentum to close them up so they cannot hit you, leaving them very vulnerable, vs Jiu-Jitsu which opens the opponent to strike them. It is a very effective form as I have a friend who is belted and has taught me(a former Marine) a few things. Love the video!

u people tht think's this looks silly watch if ip man was alive right now he would kick ur guys asses with wing chun :P

Are you an awkward nerd who fantasizes about beating up his bullies? Do you want to be a fighter but don't want to get punched in the face? Is getting in shape too much of a hassle for you? Wanna (secretly) feel tougher than the meat head wearing the Tapout shirt? Would you like to live in a fantastic dream world, where crazy Chinese men with heavy accents sell you (Disclaimer: "never actually pulled off") moves they made up while tripping out on opiates? Then Wing Chun is for you! 

The first time I ever saw Wing Chun. I've been curious, and finally addicted ever since.

I love this, perfect demonstration, great inspiration in learning such a style, I love this video.

All the people who act knowledgeable in MA only act that way because they watch UFC lol pathetic. Especially the BJJ and muay thai fangirls.

I don't get it, why do people think this is effective? xD In a real fight you are forced to fight in a very very different way.

fantastic sense of humour. what a great demo!

I grew up watching Bruce Lee movies and as a child mimic him. He is the founder of JKD which means "Way of the Fist" nobody will ever come close to him. He was an amazing martial artist and is all thanks to Ip Man Wing Chun. He learned the first two forms then practiced daily on Wooden Dummy. And that's my goal!

Very nice demonstration. Your Sifu seems quite skilled. Cheers!

Wing Chun is such a beautiful style to watch. I hope to find somewhere to learn sometime soon, provided that my physical limitations will allow me to train in some way.

I like WC its a beautiful display of grace and control I see that it is not just self control you can bend the will of the oponant

I love it. was train when I was 12 never finish it I have one more to finish but it going to be a long while. Had many street fight haven't lose.

amazing hand-eye coordination...it is also great exercise for the brain !!!

this man, is now officially, CAPTAIN OBVIOUS.. I salute you sir

I work at a facility for the mentally ill, and I do have to say, sticking hands definitely helped build up reflexes that have helped me on the job, especially in breaking up fights. The most recent incident I had to step in to break up, I was able to keep the patient from attacking by restraining the shoulders with my hands from the front, preventing any attempts to strike anyone. I had to read the movements in motion, and that's where the sticking hand training came in.

wing chun is actually a very applicable art. This is only a demonstration of one of the particular training methods within the art.

Quiz: I always would like to know this answer: In a real fight to defending his life, who has the winner's advantage? A master of karate with full knowledge of kata's bunkai and makiwara experienced or a Wing Chun master trained in wooden dummy (mudjong).

whoops, feel like a goob now cause i posted on another of your vids asking who your teacher was. great video. not a whole lot of wing chun goin on here in nashville, tn :(

well thats why you put there the dots, but not everyone can read the whole sentence right, awesome video, awesome martial art

Enjoyable video. Thanks for sharing

@MaestroDraven agreed. good to see level headed people out here too.

this is amazing

@iApna I'd like to respectfully ask you a question. Do you think that in a fight to the death the system of MMA would be more effective than the system of WC. Taking into account that MMA is a sport ( a good one) where the prime focus is on the tap out or ko and WC is a weapons based combat system where one of the first things you learn is how to strike to the vital points to cause death? I would be interested to hear your response. I'm trying to understand how you MMA guys think. Thanks

Very Nice. Thanks for sharing

@TheBallKeeper i like how little you know and understand... thumbs up

Excellent!

Well said. Cheers.

@InTheWeedz how can you punch someone when there blocking your punches and there landing 7punches in under 3 seconds

@videosdatreta You said Yes for the comment or for the question about if you practice Jeet Kune Do? or both ?

no fighting style is superior to another. it is the practicioner that makes all the difference. training, training, training, and more training.

@iApna iApna u are muai tai fighter if i remember good.Tell me honestly.In a fight out of the ring u would use gramble and wrestle?Or your fast front kick or front punch?

@Kaniwano please link something they've done that looks even close to this....

Good demo

@hgamer which part of wing chun starts off the video? is it chi sao?

@iApna what does 3 miles in 21 minutes have anything to do with fighting

@alacapesci how is that possible when we don't use muscle in our techniques

@iApna I totally agree. Regardless of the style, unless u evaluate your skills in a full contact manner, you'll never know how good you are at using those skills.

when it comes to close range fight it will be a gr8 asset, but a combination of such arts would really help a lot on streets, especially grappling combined with strikes !

@TheGr8one1022 would a fight or altercation in the street be considered a "real" situation? Is it ok to shoot in and take someone down in that situation?

I had a lot street fight I did good because of wing ching and other stuff I learn when was young. I combined my own style of fighting without fighting. It not matter I big a person is or the fight he does. Without the energy within inside there's no hope! When you built your aura then you are more powerful then a regular human. Your speed and power increase. That what Bruce was doing. But not too many people knew. So wing ching was my key to find my energy. Loke I said before i had to many fight and i use too live in the project. It does work on real fights.

@simonmafy i understand you. I practice Wing Chun (but just for 8 months...) and when i train sometimes, i feel some need to be a little more free, is that what you mean? (you practice Jeet Kune Do?)

Awesome

amazing

@Limemill so is what i just said about wing chun. see when fighting you're not supposed to make a plan of things. things just happen. not everybody has "speed" and speed isn't necessary in wing chun. just power at a short distance.

Who's the genius who hung those dragon banners? Seriously. Brilliant set-up.

@Diggy22 That's awesome.

@tekproxy do you think his student is letting him do this?

@TheBallKeeper "It is not the style. It is you."

@TheBallKeeper I know what you mean. I take Jeet Kune Do and I can honestly say the footwork has given me so much moving ability.

Im really impressed, they must have trained very hard to reach this lvl :)

I just want to point out some of the subtleties here. Look how relaxed Sifu Fong is and how he redirects force into his stance without losing balance. It's ... awesome. None of the applied pressure is making it into the core of his body. I would hate to chi sao against him as he would tire me out in less than a minute of practice.

@iApna Well in your context it's all physical but if you do it long enough, it can be applied to anything in life. Not just in a fight.

@TheBallKeeper I agree that it is important to analyze every art. Wing Chun is unique because it incorporates physics into the actual style, which can enable you to use your opponent's energy against them. While I agree that analyzing or even learning different arts can be beneficial, and that certain arts have certain advantages/disadvantages, Wing Chun takes all of these into consideration. It just comes down to how much practice you have attained and how disciplined you are.

@OMFGDmanrules What I think of when I watch them in the beginning of the demonstration.. It seems to help with a lot of defensive blocking. And speed, and location of where people's hits will land. Wing Chun is about learning to see what someone does before they even do it, so that you can instantly defend it and make a vital blow.

@macmini434 Thanks for the reply, I can see how it would be useful now :D

@iApna In the video with multiple attacks,u would go grapple?That is a real situation and usually grampling is too slow so to loose time with one enemy.I would hit and go

you should promote your sifu's name. add it to the title and/or description box and/or comment wall. i'm sure i'm not the only one impressed by his skills & wanting to find out more. thanks.

@TheBallKeeper there's one other point I missed (sorry) and it's pretty damn crucial. Contrary to perceptions, the trailing hand is never stationary. It often follows the elbow of the lead hand. When the lead hand is extended, the trailing hand is moving either forward, up, down, left or right or it's striking, depending on your opponents body language (the most skilled fighter can still be read like a book). If the trailing hand isn't deflecting or COVERING the head OR BODY then it is STRIKING.

@tekproxy it is also well known that students tend to "give" to their teachers when doing demonstrations. ..... what part am i reading wrong

@xxbluejay21 its called chi sao it is sensitivity training

@antimatter07 also ho are you to decide what is authentic?

@TheBallKeeper Thank you. Same to you. =)

@spikeydewd01 Problem is, a hook is quick - speed is its crucial feature - and is performed at short range, either after a dive under the opponent's arm, which instantaneously breaks the distance, or when you naturally approach your adversary after a sucessful combination of punches. It shouldn't be confused with a long-distance loopy punch, which takes a lot more time and is easier to predict and deflect by far. In fact, a hook is extremely difficult to avoid or block - even for professionals.

Don’t worry I understand where you are coming from, there is a thing with Wing Chun that its actually quite difficult to see how it can work, I’ve met people who have done it for a few years and haven’t figured it out, and even when you are learning it you have to put a lot of trust in your Sifu that what he’s teaching you works. But believe me if you learn it right and understand it, and if you have actually trained properly, most people don’t, it will definitely work.

@theantichristproduct Eye gouges, groin strikes, throat strikes, certain elbow strikes, kicking or kneeing the head of a grounded opponent and so on. You think these techniques are banned because they're ineffective?

I love how people confuse a drill, called chi sao, with sparring or fighting, and then attack wc through that. Lol... like judging a boxer by how well he skips rope.

I am going to start wing chun training next week. after watching Ip man...I have always wanted to train but I did not realize how superior it is compared to all other martial arts in the direct approach and redirecting your opponents energy... I had studies Tae kwon do back in the late 80's and it don't compare...if you don't like it just watch some video's that some of the sifu's post...do a search on wing chun basics and watch Wong Shun Leung's video's on the art its awesome....

yes it is

yes. it is.

@finetubs no, this is a demonstration! a slowed down version.An exercise! please look up accual application of wing chun.

that technique is sticky hands, its used when 2 wing chun ppl are training and testing their abilties and gain sensitivity, it helps a bit in real situations in that u can move ur oponent and feel where the force of their next blow will be, since in most wing chun forms of offence, you hold onto your opponent

(Cont.) Knees to face- which are illegal in UFC while opponent is grounded which is what they are when they are going for a take down. Elbows to base of head/neck which are also illegal etc. I could go on with all the illegal strikes and techniques but it is easy enough for you to search them within the UFC rules.

@iApna On 2 separate occasions I've put guys down with a single punch and those punches were deliberately gauged to concuss and not kill. If you know anything about fighting you should know that when you hit a guy he can stumble backwards & remain standing, he can stumble back and fall or he will collapse downwards on the spot. The last one means that as soon as he got hit he was unconscious. If needs be that could very easily be gauged up to be a killing blow. Talking from experience on the st.

@josh808m I love it too - but what do you do when the guy's friend shows up? ;p

@julian16s As the narrator does say, this is Augustine Fong. He teaches in Tucson, Arizona. His students operate branches all over, like the guy who posted this demo, who's in Chicago.

Alot of ignorant people don't realize that it was developed by a woman. Wing Chun can appear to be soft but can turn hard at any moment necessary. Nice demo. Nice Chi Sao. Wing Chun demos can be boring. But this Sifu did an excellent job!

@cheshirepat30 your right, i hear that all the time too.. people who never fight wing chunners

@TheBallKeeper you are 80% correct. The major points that people miss are: With the arms extended, your face is much further from the punch; By watching different areas of the body (not hands and feet) you get twice the time to react; Footwork should have you out of range of the punch while either deflecting or dodging and simultaneously striking; The most crucial is - if a boxer has no gloves on but holds his hand to his head, I'm gonna smash that hand into his head until he's KO'd by it...

everyone who trains in a martial art they like will say the exact same thing. word of the wise.

Não existe o melhor sistema de luta, mas o melhor lutador. Tem lutadores que treinaram a vida inteira e nao se igualará a outro que treinou menos, mas tem uma inteligencia fisica melhor. Lutar é uma arte e poucos nasceram com o dom.

wing chun saved my friends life.

@iRollBluntz excellent point

@TheBallKeeper theres actually a 3rd movie without ip man in the title. I was only responding to your statement about the strongest punch though, because otherwise i agree, like bruce lee said you have to be fluid, like water.

@MaestroDraven I'll tell you what, I'll do that. I can't now because I'm transitioning into my own business and it's taking a lot of time, but I'm sure there's a wing chun school around here. My only question is this: will they let me counter with BJJ?

@SkemeKOS Yeah that's true. Also with MMA fighters and boxers, their fighting style relies heavily on size and strength for grappling/endurance/heavy blows respectively. In contrast a good wing chun practitioner is generally small in build to help promote speed and fluidity. Wing chun doesn't use strength to over power the opponent. It uses balance, dominance and speed to make the opponents strength invalid. But it's like in the sequel "ip man 2" where he's fighting a boxer.

@hgamer I had fun too but I also need to get back to work :)

@simonmafy that was because he went even trough Wing Chun and achieved something even better. And that happened because he started knowing DEEPLY Wing Chun, in order to (after that) be in such a level that he could say that

sticky hands is useed to train your muscles and stance so that with force applied you wond fall over and when they breack the (sticky) connection between hands your oewn hands dont fly forward

Chi sau is not a fighting application,its merely a training exercise to develop sensitivity,positioning and to work on and perfect both attack and defence skills

@hulkout666 yeah i think i get ur point

@hgamer then explain what he is wrong about?

damn his technique was good, and his legs are so strong
