"Do NOT SHARE your stuff!” - Kung Fu Report Q&A

[@patricknoonan6835]

As to what you said about not broadcasti, that brings back something that Ed Hart told me in 1979, it was "never show them what you can do until its to late to do anything about it about it".

[@jamesb.4289]

I don't think you could bore anybody with stories about yourself, your teachers, Jesse, or Ed ! I personally love hearing the stories. As always thanks for sharing with us.👍

Steve Smith is a legend. I've been very blessed to find Smith as my first source. 🙏

People who speak negative to you can F-off. You’re great brother.

[@benedictchin8799]

Greetings Mr Chan, you are correct☀️🙏🏾

[@benmoore6327]

I enjoy this because I hear names I have never heard, probably because each branch of the tree of wing Chun has its favorites. It's cool to take it back to a source.

[@lorenzodeluca1934]

As long we'll live in a democracy (Im Italian so pardon my bad english) everybody can tell his stories, 'cause we're all disciples in learning. Go ahead! Bruce was the greatest ambassador martial arts ever had, his real ability as fighter is not even a problem for me, he was a man ahead his time, what he did in movies is more than enough. Thanx ciao amico!

[@jackmihov5231]

Thank you brother Adam for this wonderful advice. I agree with you.. Humility, gentleness kindness thoughtfulness gratefulness appreciation and good manners goes a long way. Keep the good lessons coming my brother. There is so much wisdom in your words and thoughts. I am feasting from the crumbs of your table of knowledge and foresight. You have my total support.

Always good video s with Adam. Everthing is good explaned. Keep on making video s...

[@hosehuang8565]

This was fun, insightful, interesting, in short....I could watch Adam talk all day. GREAT STUFF!

[@KeithMosherSifu]

My first sensei (James Logue), taught me two important things (among many): 1. "Always give back." That does not apply only to returning the opponent's energy, it also means help your fellow students. Help clean the school. Help people - give back. 2. "Do not wear your gi in public." Another way of saying, do not broadcast your stuff. Like you mentioned, a t-shirt that brags, a person that brags and shows off. Don't wear your gi in public.

[@hung-yenhoang1462]

You may not have "typical Wing Chun," but it's still the best and most functional Wing Chun on KZbin.

[@9usuck0]

I second that.

[@colinmoras2385]

I agree

[@tavtav3526]

I agree about that. Being original is only important in training but in practice u must keep your mindset on whatever works to deal with the situation. Adaptation is most important aspect in fighting than originality in technique execution.

[@JKDVIPER]

That’s the whole point.. Gary Lam, Adam, myself, we are all different in a good way..

thanks

[@nittydalion]

I also trained under someone whose style was a mixture of many elements but with a wing chun and southern Pacific islands base. It took me awhile to start to absorb and dissect everything. It had elements of tai chi chuan, pa kua chuan, and also techniques like what is seen in pentjak silat. The style was heavily Filipino. Lacoste/Inosanto blend is what he called it. He also used dumog and pananjakman and panantukan. It was very interesting and he was very fluid, fast and powerful. He also was technical and explained everything like Adam does in classes. I trained under this man for a good 11 - 12 years. To this day I love this man because he gave everything to me willingly and freely. If you ever read this Kel...Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@cassiuslives4807]

in terms of Ving Tsun purity, I think whatever you're showing, mention which concept you are explaining. I will also look Steve up, thanks!

[@the.demarcation.problem]

Really appreciate your content Adam. When I was 'questioning' what styles have influenced you I was by no means trying to criticises you I was purely curious and inspired to know. After all who am I to question anyone about anything. I just love to learn. Thank you. 🙏

[@JackShen]

oh cool, my wing chun was learned from the Moy Yat lineage also. But the school I was attending was a bit 'cultish'. My sifu and I broke away from the association. We eventually went on our separate journeys, as he said it was time for me to go out and explore for myself. I'd learned what he had to offer at that point in his life. We're still friends. I started becoming more influenced by the Filipino systems and Silat, and got pushed into the modern handgun combatives stuff, by a lot of the cops that were training at the same gym.

[@Chalchiuitlyollotl]

Chi shong tin is my greatest inspiration. But by practice and PRACTICE ALONE, did I begin to feel what all these concepts and understandings meant. Just do your forms, listen to your master, and like miymoto musashi said, "The martial way of life practiced by warriors is based on excelling others in anything and everything...There is nothing outside yourself that can ever enable you to get better, richer, stronger, quicker or smarter. Everything is within...Seek nothing outside of yourself." It works. Believe it or not. Amituofo

I know about fook yeung because of Adam. I had no idea about him before he mentioned it in a video from about 5 years ago.

[@KevinWallbridge]

I studied some Qigong with Yeung Fook. He was amazing.

[@wingchun-simplekungfu7584]

GREAT interview 🙏

[@mattbugg4568]

There is a few old addeges in tai chi. 1. Never go to the meaning if you don't know it. 2. Don't be greedy to learn it all in a day... what this means is if you know kung-fu it's OK to proceed to the meaning or content of the martial art, because there is way more to it than you can learn in a day or a lesson. Teachers go through this alot student comes in and learns student gains some knowledge and decides the art is easy after some time and a small amount of enlightenment. Student leaves. However the seed was planted and the student still grows through experience. The teacher always feels like they could have done a better job if students would stay around. However sometimes the student gains other knowledge that propels them forward. Sometimes they just get there feet wet. Thats kinda what happened to Bruce he got his feet wet and a spark set him on fire to learn and discover his way. His teachers should be very proud even though he didn't stay with them. This is what teaching is about show great content if you know it and allow space for students to grow. Sometimes it's with you sometimes its not dont exhange your teachings for retention there is more than you can teach in a day.

[@Johnwick-07]

Thank you for sharing🙏

[@Robbielynngarmon]

I was guilty of that stuff. In college i took a self defense class and i was always wanting to spar with my roommates. It made them mad. I guess some people just have to learn the hard way. Luckily i didn't get beat up or anything. I just learned to keep my martial arts to myself

[@JKDVIPER]

The stuff you teach is very functional and realistic.. people can see the difference.. I do what you do .. maybe I use different hands but it’s all still similar ,, effective knockouts quick

[@stevenedmund5680]

cool video and topic .....screw driver story rings close to home when I was inside lol

Do you think a person can be a martial artist learning online only, without live lessons?

[@axelstone3131]

Adam, do you know is Jesse kept in touch with Bruce up until 73? If so, did they meet often? Did Jesse still take lessons with Bruce?

[@MikeS24-v4s]

Steve's a great guy.

Great video as always 👍

[@JKDVIPER]

That was fascinating

[@i4MiSRAEL]

What! “Wing Chun” or “Ving Tsun” itself is already a modified and/or simplified version of the Kung Fu because in order to master Kung Fu then one has to acquire (master) all the different sections (“styles”) of it such as Shaolin, Tai Chi Chen, Wushu, Bagua etc. Well to put it in another way, “Wing Chun” or “Ving Tsun” is like the “English” Language and so in order to create English then it has to consist of Greek, Latin, Hebrew, French, Old English, German (Japanese) etc. So you get the point, right?

[@i4MiSRAEL]

@Tai Chi Tube: Haha. No man, “Wing Chun” or “Ving Tsun” is just as sophisticated as the “English” language itself because there is a secretly hidden philosophy behind it and not many men and women beings who can truly understand it unless he or she has reached at certain level of understandings. Well however, it is just that so many men (women) are being indoctrinated in their ways of thinking and so that is the reason why not many “Wing Chun” or “Ving Tsun” teachers who can really explain it simply. So therefore stop blaming a gun if you are such a really terrible shooter, haha.

[@davidwilliams4837]

@Tai Chi Tube With respect, Wing Chun is as deep [& misunderstood] as Tai Chi. Wing Chun appears "simple", but the well is deep because there are many "intentions" concentrated in direct techniques. The Wooden Dummy form reveals ADVANCED Kung Fu applications [pressure points, rib breaks, subtle positioning]. WC is an energy-based art NOT a movement-based art.

[@WingChunGungFu]

No one can master all of Kung Fu. One can hope to master one of these many styles in their lifetime

[@axelstone3131]

Mightymeatmonsta that you?

[@Chalchiuitlyollotl]

I'd just say that any system is best understood by PRACTICING IT. That's how I learned internal understandings. Not by, necessarily, by watching videos or hearing ancient concepts. But by doing forms and FEELING, I know now.

[@ArthusofAzeroth]

Did I hear that right? You train some Hakka Fist? That could explain why your stuff suits what I’ve learned from practicing Bak Mei, Bak Fu Pai and Lung Ying Kuen (I apologize if I spelled any of those wrong, my knowledge of Cantonese is extremely limited lol) so well since they’re part of that same family of Chinese Martial Arts 😎

@@JKDVIPER I would love to see that being a reality. The Wing Chun purists don't understand that to improve the art you have to test it whilst physically sparring against someone resisting.

@@mrt445 at least trapping to feel out your body n how your mechanics work... Adjust this adjust that, tweak it n work in some controlling tools and point striking tools , distance game, and footwork game, power n speed, but then at a point we should give our techniques a run so to speak . I just felt it's better to do mattress training all the time, pretty physical n rough for best results..

[@bechelerroseme6821]

And Bruce would've shut up a lot of haters.

[@tavtav3526]

I don't understand the need of originality in "practicing" martial art. It's not a religion so being not pure is just a common sense. Let say someone is attacking u with machete, wing chun don't really have a counter technique about it. Do u really still wanna deal the machete guy using typical wing chun stuff? I think it's stupid. Training and kata is just merely a tool, it's bound to principle. In principle, we learn about attitude and how to deal with things physically or mentally. Learn and train wing chun as original as you can do. But when it comes to practice, adapt to the situation and do whatever works to solve the situation.

[@johnwick9765]

This guy may have trained with some teachers but has not been recognized by any organizations as a Sifu. Please make that clear to you to teach.

[@tydurr759]

Yet he's more qualified than 90% of the bullshit kungfoolery being peddled by overweight and out of shape "grandmasters" who've never actually been in a fight. Adam can not only use his shit, he can explain the how and why that most others can't. If you value a piece of paper from some bullshit organization over that, then go run your Mcdojo and let the legitimate teachers teach.

[@matthewthompson2844]

Oh my gosh! I hate those stupid "Touch me and your first lesson is free shirts". Like who came up with that junk!?

[@outofthebox7]

Bruce shut down a professional boxer in a boxing rules match??? What does that mean?? Did he just cover up and run around so the guy couldn't hit him?? So what? And how do we know the boxer was not just being respectful and friendly with him? How do we know how many shots the boxer got in? If you claim none, I would have to say that you are either naive or a liar. So what does shut down really mean? Tired of hearing about a talented martial artist who is very mediocre today, just because the movies and wing chun instructors puff him up to gain from it. All this mystifying Bruce, what he knew, what he hid, who he fought, IT'S A LOAD OF CRAP I TELL YOU. Move on, break the idols!

[@outofthebox7]

If anyone wants to see what a real master looks like and what he teaches, see here, listen VERY carefully how he exposes centuries of lies and liars: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4fUlaZ_jZpgbrc kzbin.info/www/bejne/maitq4hjiph_mpY No mesmerizing the students with illusions, no games, nothing faked, nothing that cannot be done in a fight, but pure and powerful skill. Realize that he devoted his life to learning devastating mechanics, see his skills, nothing mystical, only raw pure power resulting from training and proper theory. Can you compare (heck!...) Bruce Lee, or Jesse Clover, or (

Not you again. In the box I see.
