Wing Chun VS Filipino Martial Arts: Fluid Tactics 

I was trained by an 85 year old Filipino man how to do stick fighting. It’s crazy how fast he was for a man of his age. And the way he trains, he makes it so easy that you learn so much in a month. Wish he could’ve taught me more, as he past away a couple of years after I started. Thank you po.. rest in peace 🙏

Thank you for inviting me to your channel Leo! 🙏🏾 we should do this again!

For me as a former practitioner of Eskrima/Arnis/Kali this really warms my heart seeing two different Martial arts being discussed and in a way somewhat similar because both Wing Chun and Eskrima are close quarters based and both use the same drill concepts of feeling one's energy and pressure to parry or defend then attack.

What I like about the Filipino Martial Arts is its simplicity. Most Martial Arts have been modernized and become more of a show-off than studying its core fundamental discipline.

Filipino Martial arts and wing Chun has a lot of things in common. It's good to see you guys learning from each other and we learned a lot too! Thanks guys!

Leo shows incredible vulnerability in learning new skills when he’s already a master, shows an emotional resilience that’s as tough as his physical strength and serves as a lesson for us all to be lifelong learners.

Two great artist from different cultures yet showed same honor and discipline. Thanks for the great content Leo. We appreciate your efforts for doing such hard to do videos. ❤️

This video is totally enriching for people to learn the noble ( not brutal) ways of fighting techniques. It's like 2 long-lost friends who met again and shared to each other their masterful knowledge of the martial arts each one has learned and embraced. Props to their respectful attitude for each one.

Man the Filipino instructor is very charismatic and respects the art. Despite the light rough play both of y’all took it real well and kept it classy which made me very excited. For some reason I wish this video was a bit longer and maybe in an inside space where you guys can let a little more loose

Leo ay Yeung such a great friendly exchange, great to see. And in the martial community, we learn and grow more this way.

Love this kind of humble exchange. Men from 2 totally different styles, coming together in with mutual respect and finding common ground in martial arts. Teaching and learning from both. Ofc, we want to show eachother what we’re capable of, but these gentlemen did it gracefully and have shown restraint. It’s kind of like that awkward moment when you find a new sparring partner and want to start at around 30% and slowly move up knowing your partners boundary. It can go left or it can go right, as long as both parties are equipped with humility and respect to not let pride ruin one’s dignity. After that, your brothers, it’s a special king of bond. Aloha from HI, Tofa soifua from the culture and Fakafetai ni from my rootz 🤝🏾🙏🏾 #polynesian #protectors #chinese #filipino #martialarts

Had a lot of fun filming this. Great video Sifu!

That’s what I call close quarters battle. The way you were able to read each other’s moves and counter them with other defensive and offensive techniques is very impressive. Great demonstration! Peace.

I trained for 10 years. I am happy with my family now but the one thing that I miss, is this kind of interaction. Due to my work I have no time any more. Seeing you two practice reminded me of the old days. You two let your bodys do the communication. For me it looked like a dance with two people that have never met before. I wish both of you a happy and long life

Love the spirit of the video. Literally just having a conversation through martial arts without thinking about who or what is better. Just talking and having fun though movement. Well done both of you!

I love this video especially the comments about "Silent conversation". I have trained in Filipino Kali/Arnis for many years. This is a very inspiring video, thank you for sharing

Always a treat to see martial and cultural exchanges, beautiful arts! Pugay to you both!🙏

I love how they're just casually fighting in the middle of a city street 😂😂

I understand what the Filipino guy means by ''silent conversation'' I've had moments where I fought someone and ended up becoming friends later down the road. the friendship is not always right away but it comes later down the road when we cross paths again and our groups are about to fight but at least he and I just have this mutual respect for each other. We fight again but have a drink after or whatever hahahaa

I love the way they showed respect for each other's art form.

I’m not seeing just martial arts and techniques. I’m learning mindset and life lessons . Thanks for this!

Awesome! The thing is both of you are advanced enough especially, in close quarters combat that you can have a conversation. Both arts are very sensitive in terms of pressure and direction. Very enjoyable to listen and watch.

I thoroughly enjoyed the friendly exchange and sharing of martial arts skills. Thanks for sharing Sifu Leo

What I loved about this: You both have achieved a level of skill that enabled you to explore and even at times let your techniques communicate without talking. Just moving around and understanding where the other person was coming from by "listening" to the movements and energies. Like an universal martial arts translator. :)

*Very good exchange of knowledge. so much respect to Filipino and Chinese martial artist and Martial arts* 🍻🍻

Flow movements are always good for reflex training and realism. There's so much more FMA could offer. FMA could also take you to the ground and use submissions though they look slightly different.

Beautiful to see two skilled teachers mixing it up. It's like watching a song being written.

As Wing Chun Man I can totally feel your struggle in some moves. I'd do exactly the same "mistakes". The trouble in "step forward", the hand from the side strike. But it's so cool how fast you could adapt.

It's so interesting, the last part they ended with, how Paul said it's a silent conversation. If feels like as I'm developing my own understanding of martial arts and working with others, it becomes like learning a new language, and good instructors can sometimes tell your emotional state or personality just by observing the way you move.

This was dope af, I can really appreciate what both you two bring to your respectful arts.... to see the evolution from the first lesson through the entire vid

Humble respect from each master...understanding each martial arts...what works and what doesn't...thumbs up...

this is amazing, we're so blessed to live in an era where we can learn multiple martial arts. back then it was really exclusive to learn martial arts. even if Im trying to master 1 discipline, learning others teaches me to appreciate other disciplines and mine much much more!

Watching two masters was a pleasant treat! Thank you!

I'm not fan of wingchun but i think a practitioner will appreciate the principles applied in FMA. I think because FMA is an adaptive and exploring art, and it takes on the personality of the practitioner. Very great art indeed!

This is why I love Filipino Martial Arts, it looks very similar to Wing Chun for me, it's like muscle memory.

Well done every martial artist should cross train it really opens your eyes and makes you better.

THANK you sir for teaching us Filipino Martial Arts, one of the effective Martial Arts,easy to follow. I like also Wing Chun,also effective and similar to Filipino Martial Arts. All techniques that are effective I gathered it. God bless us all.

I love the real world adjustments of both techniques, as long as you know the basics, wow I enjoyed your video!!! nice exchange guys

its really cool to watch when two masters sharing thier respective arts, thumbs up to both of you guys

Jeet Kune Do, Eskrima Kali and Wing Chun have many similarities, but JKD has also Boxing and Fencing principles in its arsenal and the spanisch name for fencing is Esgrima 😉 and Boxing was influenced by some Filipino fighters who were trained in Empty hand fighting called Filipino Boxing. One of them was Flash Lordi who was Muhammad Ali's favorite fighter. Ali took his moves from Lordi. Then Wing Chun has similarities with old school western boxing and here we have a full circle⭕️ around the globe how martial arts are intertwined and historically connected. Don't forget that the Spaniards went to the Filipines in the 17th century and many believe that Myamoto Musashi the famous Japanese ex Samurai who became a Ronin was the "first" who used two swords to fight simultaneously, a short Wakisashi and the longer brother Katana and that he learned that from some Spanish swordsmen, cause Japan had traded goods with the Filipines and Japanese sailors had encounters with the Spaniards. All in all what I want to say, you will always come back to effective techniques because of our anatomy. So doesn't matter where the art comes from. Nice video and regard from Serbia🇷🇸

Man this was great stuff! Amazing how some things are pretty universal among some combat arts. Well done.

I love that there isn’t much eye contact either, a lot of trainers will say always watch the eyes as that will tell you what their next move will be.. But I love the fact of using your other senses. Nice work 🙏🏽

Thing about this sticky hands drill is that when something comes up you basically just automatically react to defend yourself. Even though I don't practice it now, my body still remembers every trigger and response.

Both are great Arts, i trained in Kali for many years, i am not as smooth as this guy, he is light years ahead of me, and the Vng Tsun guy is amazing too. Hong Kong Ving Tsun is vastly different from other schools is different countries. Very good video. GOD BLESS You both.

I love it! Absolutely amazing! Truly awesome! I love the whole display! It was so masterful! I would love to learn from both of you guys! 🙏🏾

Paul makes it look and sound easy for one off they must dangerous sport in the world. Amazing stuff 👍🏾

Great job! MY husband combines Yan Style Taichi, Akido, Jujitsu and Filipino martials art. Never seen Wing Chun and Yantok.

I enjoyed watching you guys exchange ideas, views, moves and knowledge. More please.

I don’t know how I got here but I love it! Mad respect to these two martial artists.

Arnis used to be taught in regular schools as part of the PE subject before here in the Philippines. But now, there are only a few left.

Wow! With hand to hand, they seem very matched and show very similar concepts!

Two classy and talented martial artists! Love it!

i bow to the two of you for a very good demonstration. i learned more than one way of style. thank you very much.

I like , we are having a conversation without speaking. Questions were and addressed. Very good from you both.

Thanks for sharing this conversation. And it was interesting to see the movement vocabulary in common between the two styles. You both have such positive energy here.

Amazing instructor there, would love to train a few sessions with this man. I had the privilege to train with Atillo Ising for couple years and blown away by the Balintiwak system. This instructor explains it in 5 minutes what it took me them 2 years. Amazing.

As a martial artist in remission (I have not worked out a work/training balance), this was so amazing to watch and really helped me reconnect with my old training. I could visualise myself moving with your video and felt more revitalised and inspired than I have for years. Thank you!

Tang na!!!so proud na meron tau ni2...so deadly...kaya hirap sakupin ng mga banyaga ang pilipinas nung unang panahon pgdting sa face-face cmbat Gstong gsto q matuto nito...🥺🥺

Aww you give off a warmth to your teaching style. I think you’d be a good instructor and your martial arts seems great! Great video guys :)

It's nice how you guys have an agreement not to get agitated while doing light sparring. Hard to come by.

Interesting the sensitivity training in wing chun has the similar principles as the Filipino martial arts too.

This was one of the best videos i have ever seen! I loved it.

I'm a 2nd Dan black belter of Arnis. Doce pares is our style, and yes we always do close combats to the point of even dragging our opponents closer to us so we could proceed with one of our deadliest technique. Abaniko is the technique I'm referring to. I've won a lot of sparrings with that. I've been trained since 7 years old along with my big brothers. We use to teach military personnels along with my brothers in Fort Bonifacio Army Gym and in V Luna. I'm 32 now and am proud of how Arnis is getting the recognition it deserves.

Love the education and brotherhood and love of the art.

A great teaching lesson by two very well balanced men in their skills iron sharpens iron 👍

This is like dancing. Their movements, even the instruction, just watching them go through the motion makes we want to get up and do this!

That was awesome seeing teacher student dynamic go both ways!

The mutual honor & respect is fantastic..

He is an amazing teacher!

Excellent video exposition ! Thanks.

Great video The style and techniques used were on point. Well explained and both guys did a good job keeping their composure and honoring each other. 👏

Great job you two...real martial artist trying to learn off of each other from different aspects of style. Leave ego in the MMA arts.

Excellent presentation, love this fight style and mixture, great seeing such positive people enjoying the sport of it.

Thank you for being for patient and understanding with the new learners.

That looks fun in your exchange. I found myself smiling during your exchange. I believe that's the best way to learn.

Arnis filipino martial arts its not just art it is practicality by using different tools as an extention of your body to defend yourself in the darkroad of streets in any where…Its not only for wooden stick it is very efficient in terms of knife and nails .. and great combination of wing chun for both offense and defense on a close encounter … i guess the best way to approach some unconventional scenario would be just run away as early as it will come use your foot call some help get some help or do something diplomacy and just use these emergency ways of surviving when force is necessary to use make it fast make it deadly. As many says in our place bring a ballpen it could save you buy a little time to run.

Moments when I don't know if you're still having a drill or already fighting are very funny mates. Lovely stuff overall.

Great to watch. It’s one thing to teach some techniques, but it’s a whole level above to teach how to teach. Very insightful

This was awesome to watch... ive studied both styles and have felt the pro and cons of each style

This served as my daily dose of honor, respect, discipline, and kindness. Also, FUN. Thank you for the inspiration.

Yes. It is a "conversation". Love it. The arts are very similar. The feel is so important. Thank you.

The good thing about this is that even Wing Chun users are very intrigued to FMA because they see the similarities of Wing Chun and FMA (Kali), and vice versa.

incredible, two instructors just flowing and learning from each other

This is so cool to see each showing each other their martial arts skills

I'm a practitioner on both. I love Eskrima. Wing Chun I'm still a novice at it

The Philippine material arts is more practical in real life combat. The us special forces uses it. It's a real killing art.

This is epic man varifyed my life long passion for the martial arts,awesome matchup and comraderie,still learning even today,timeless.

This was an amazing exchange. Sounds like it was so fun.

Awesome, I can't wait to study this again, I love this art. Great Video

its always nice to see different martial arts exchange to learn. in the movies a rival martial arts comes to a dojo of another and starts a fight.😂

Paul seems like a really great character, this was a pleasure to watch. Thanks for highlighting some FMA, Sifu Leo.

Wow im amazed at how fluid and dynamic everything its like a song and dance. i love you both.

I think this is something we should bring back to the indigenous tribes of the world so they can be able to defend themselves when neighboring countries decide they want to take over I think it’s important that everybody has strengths….

As we see with MMA, different martial art forms have strengths, weaknesses and techniques that they each bring to the table. In the future I would like to see a blend of highly effective methodologies from around the world. Not as sport but true martial arts, of war, incorporating hand to hand, blades, transitioning to firearms etc. in freeflow muscle memory. My family tends to end up in the military as a tradition, so this type of training could mean the difference between my sons coming home or not.

A beautiful and fascinating conversation / exchange between two masters. It's interesting how towards the end, it seems like feeling rather than seeing. Intuitive movements.

Thank you for this!!! To me this is true mastery that comes and "teaches" from the heart❤‍🔥🙏🏼

Enjoyed this. Xie xie; Salamat Po

Paul is indeed Filipino-trained. His accent is very cool.

I feel like I learned more about Filipino martial arts in this video than any other I've ever seen. I really, really want to learn more.

Thank you! This was awsome :) .. i like to hear more about Paul (and you anyways :)
