Thank you for posting these videos - excellent content. I also have two of your books on the WSL method and have read them multiple times to reinforce concepts.
Very clearly explained - thank you very much for that!👌🙏 I have a question here: if the Bong-Sao no longer receives pressure (which is why it was only deformed into “Bong-Sao”), does the energy charged in it actually go or relax into a direct forward movement? So far I have received the explanation (also from the WSL line) that the Bong-Sao is a purely defensive technique and that an offensive attack would make no sense because it would be too weak to have any corresponding effect... What is your answer to this?🤔
@@sipscl as you have written, ‘Bong Sau’ more often than not, is the result of too much force causing the arm to shift that force away by changing shape into the ‘Bong Sau’ action; this would best be described as the ‘Yi Bong’ or “Shifting Bong Sau.” Under such circumstances, one would normally, if the distance is correct & structure in place, be able to launch an attack with the opposite hand, after which the ‘Bong Sau’ arm would then flow on into the next attack. However, as seen in ‘Chi Sau’ practice (both single-hand & double-hand versions), as the arms involved remain in contact, thus with pressure still being exchanged, if the attacking hand is withdrawn, the principle of ‘Lat Sau Jik Chung’ automatically comes into play, such that the ‘Bong Sau’ arm immediately goes forward in an attacking manner, with the ‘Faak Sau’ action being the most practical hand to strike with under those conditions. This would also be more likely the result if ‘Bong Sau’ has been applied as a stop-gap measure (eg: a ‘Paau Bong’ reaction to a loss of contact), whereby if the attacking hand is immediately removed after the ‘Bong Sau’ has intercepted it, of course the ‘Bong Sau’ arm could straight away then strike in its own right. Offensively, ‘Bong Sau’ is extremely effective for jamming up an opponent so that they cannot respond to the attacks thrown by our other hand, so it has applications under many conditions.
Hi. Is there any way one could find a full-length copy or get a full-length copy of Sifu Leung from this video (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j3N8ua-o3aQ.html), with english subtitles? All of what you are teaching (so much appreciated, btw) relates directly to what I've seen in the video but would still like to hear it from the late Master himself. Thanks for any help. Cheers!
I believe that there may well be such a version, but unfortunately I cannot direct you to where you might find one. As a speaker of Mandarin, I’ve only ever had this and the companion discussion on the ‘Cham Kiu’ form, in the original Mandarin version. My Sifu created these two clips whilst in Beijing in 1996 whilst he was there on the invitation of several martial arts groups there. He preferred to present Ving Tsun concepts in Cantonese, but on this particular occasion, mere months before his sad passing, he decided to present the information in Mandarin for the participants of the week-long lecture programme that he was conducting at the time.
@@WSLVTMalaysia ... Thank you. Wish I could have met him. Everything I've seen and read paints a wonderful picture of the man; a true giant. You are so fortunate to have traveled that road with him. Cheers my good man.
