I would like to announce and annotate how important Master Chu's teachings of Chum Kiu is in this video. (As of anything that Master Chu taught, props to Ip Man.) My Sifu Mark every now and then mentions this section of the footage from @3:00 to us (his students), because he was there and it's recorded! At the 3 minute mark, Master Chu can be seen teaching Chum Kiu pivot from neutral stance, where the weight shifts from the leg of the side you're pivoting to, gradually to the rear leg, until 90 degrees pivot where the rear leg has 100% of the weight. This can be seen in Ip Man's Chum Kiu footage (the one that was filmed a few weeks before his death). Strangely, it can be seen that many of Ip Man's lineages, the first generation students (or/and student's students) didn't quite get his teachings, with all due respect. It could be perhaps the student didn't spend enough time on the forms, or perhaps it was Ip Man's traditional-laid back teaching style. Therefore, it can be noticed if you compare several Chum Kiu forms of Ip Man's HK students, that out of the three empty hand forms, Chum Kiu differs the most. Such flawed differences can also be seen in WC sparring videos against other martial arts. Most of them fail because the WC practitioner doesn't know how to ulitise their own body mass upon contact with the opponent, found in Chum Kiu and fundamentally from Siu Nim Tao.

Marks Spence’s understanding of Wing Chun is exceptional . Thank you for your observation. This part of the second form with the shifting of your weight to the rear leg is an aspect I have not practised properly . Interestingly CST demonstrated on one of his earlier visits to Australia , what my sifu termed “ghost kick”. Where CST , whilst having his weight on his rear leg in the form , performed a kick with his rear leg , without appearing to shift his weight. He was an amazing man. Did you visit him with Mark ?

This video is showcasing the Bone Structure, and mechanics of how proper bone structure, will generate a strength that muscles can't. The physics of this is that it often appears as if the practitioner has super strength, or some hidden chi power. This is where the Kung Fu gets these myths and legends from. But proper CHI is actually bone structure, alignment, relaxing during it, and physics implemented. Most people during a fight are using Muscle mass, and muscle strength, but Wing Chun relies on application by bone structure, natural movements that generate far more strength than muscle can.

He was teaching how to perform this kick correctly. He had no intention to show us how much power he could generate. We already knew his power. At the speed he is performing this kick at , you can see the movement of the guy holding the pad at the slow speed. Nothing is wasted . Even when the move is done slowly. And yeah. He was nearly 60. Skinny ? Yes. He was unwell. His skills we perfect. Check him out on other sites. He died some years ago but many still continue teaching from his legacy.

Graham would have been training for around 16 years at the time of this video and Ah Keuhn slightly less. I’ve been training in Wing Chun for 37 years and I’m blown away by the quality of their chi sau. Graham’s angles rarely collapse, despite Ah Keuhn using his whole mass at times to drive in. Watching how relaxed Ah Keuhn’s face and neck muscles were was a treat. Both were able to maintain their structure throughout. Usually two people of similar skill levels make chi sau between them become and look ugly. But this is as good as any chi sau battle I’ve seen.

You’re quite possibly on a very similar train of thought to many of us , and I can only speak of the westerners I trained with in HK, that more answers are still to be discovered. His HK students were training for many different reasons. The more intellectual students had different reasons and the better for those of us who trained with them . Some just wanted to fight. Despite Chu Shong Tins knowledge, he had possibly gone off on a bit of a tangent near his final time with us. But who am I to say ? He was so good at the physical stuff that his pursuit of the internal focus had him trying to move things with his internal power. He admitted he couldn’t do it but continued to try until the end. He was a truly remarkable Kung fu master. We are all fortunate to have known him and felt his life. 👍🏻
