DK Yoo - Pros And Cons Of WING CHUN And European Tour

[@metaldad1967]

In a nutshell: "Absorb that which is useful, discard that which is useless, keep what is expressly your own" - Bruce Lee Master Yoo is completely on point here!

[@EmpowerYourLifewithBogdanRosu]

I agree

[@BaZn8]

hats off to the interpreter.... lots of technical questions and answers exchanged

[@billymandalay929]

B C She is one focused, intelligent young woman !

[@BaZn8]

I stand corrected. Thanks

[@jayc9130]

i speak Korean and i must say that she tried hard but did a bad job

[@Apollo5600]

She is truly amazing

[@kennethytang]

For a guy who's supposed to be as good as he is, he is surprisingly friendly and modest, no air of self-importance at all. The mark of truly focused teachers who have a true passion for what they teach. Very refreshing.

[@fdota]

the translatiom by the lady was mostly on point, but there are sone things she missed. when talking about the pros and cons of wing chun, dk yoo said that wingchun is good when you cannot see clearly around you, if for example it is very dark, or there are multiple opponents and its hard to process all the frantic information quickly, not just if you have bad eyesight. with regard to wing chun guard position, it is slow to react to fast opponents who utilise timing tricks like low high feinting, but wing chun is very fast and excels in a close range after initial contact is made. with regards to future seminars, he will visit greece after france and italy.

[@erick7777]

Falcor, Defender of the Alliance - Hey man didn't you pay attention? He said "painting", not "feinting" (rolls eyes). JK man, thanks so much for the additional translation - much appreciated!

[@prospervienne4539]

the essence of wing chun guard position is the centre line that goes through the vertical axis of your body. if i have to reframe, it has not a proper guard, as it is based on neutral stance. when you make your steps, you make sure that your core is following automatically. about reaction, we should not forget that wing chun is feminine martial arts, it's not aiming to chase actively the opponent.

[@kyriakos-dimitriospapaster6104]

when is he coming to greece exactly?

[@mightymeatmonsta]

Wrong! If you hands are out in the center, then HOW can you NOT make contact? We don't fall for feints because our hands are in the center and there is NO WAY IN HELL he is getting through that way.

[@nstratford9073]

+mightymeatmonsta I think you need to calm down a little bit buddy. I believe the original commenter was further explaining the translation not his/her point of view. So unless you know more about Wing Chun than DK Yoon you just need to read and don't get so defensive. Your ignorance is so ridiculous....it has been absolutely proven that 1 martial art or fighting theology is not the ultimate way and is not completely the only way. Even the very best (and non delusional) "master" of a particular style will be open to learning and absorbing any and all beneficial knowledge.

[@Ravi-un7eg]

He is like a kinetic energy in human form , true martial ARTist

[@EmpowerYourLifewithBogdanRosu]

Have you started practicing what he's teaching?

[@CBHDK59]

Ravi Chakraborty HUNT KING DO (arms down techniques) is older and so am i

[@liam-n8098]

Relaxation and coordination of all his body parts are the root of power and speed. Look at Bruce lee they both emphasise the same concepts

[@EmpowerYourLifewithBogdanRosu]

I think you are on point! What martial arts are you practicing? :)

[@TijiSan]

10:33 thats why bruce lee said there is no style and form in the end we are human with one pair of arm and leg

[@EmpowerYourLifewithBogdanRosu]

Exactly! What martial arts are you doing? :)

[@davidletterboyz]

Bruce Lee was so visionary.

[@AntiPattern123]

First thought i had watching DK YOO was... this looks like Bruces Jeet Kune Do

[@martialmovement1722]

At the end of the day, Martial arts is about expressing yourself honestly. When you subribe to a "style"... or even worse someone else's ego... you become a limited expression of yourself. Rather than just a practitioner of a martial art, the ultimate goal is to become a Martial Artist, expressing one's self honestly.

[@EmpowerYourLifewithBogdanRosu]

I agree...

[@Lngo1023]

He's like following Bruce Lee when Bruce was learning martial arts after wing chun

[@metaldad1967]

"...absorb that which is useful, discard that which is useless, make it expressly your own" - Bruce Lee

[@bogdanrosu3364]

Indeed

[@Legendarydrago123]

This guy has extraordinary speed and snapping power.

[@Kakarod]

Bout time!!! A interview in English! The translator translated a lot but when asked pros and cons...she struggled. Understandable Dk did say a lot to resite. Good video no doubt.

[@DaoistMonkey]

This is an awesome interview Sifu Bogdan, this interview touches on many levels of how someone should train and develop the body. I believe DK Yoo is pointing out that no martial art is a complete system, that all styles of martial arts has its pros and cons.

[@AllForManKind77]

Thank you very much Mr. Bodgan Rosu for your interview with Mr. DK Yoo. Its enlightening me in my deep study of CMA specifically like Wing Chun.

[@EmpowerYourLifewithBogdanRosu]

[@ghossler]

[@shovelhead4558]

DK is a born natural

[@게으른공대생]

Biker he said “I am not born natual”

[@EmpowerYourLifewithBogdanRosu]

Yeah that's what I love about his story as well! That he wasn't naturally gifted and had to really work for what he has :-)

[@HorseDing]

Thank you so much for this interview, and of course thank you Mr. Yoo.

[@Menyhard]

Just like bruse lee said. Take what it useful and disregard what you. Don’t like and make it your own

[@Moogiwara26]

when dk said something about boxing and being blind or sumthing, made me realize again, they both do have in common in martial arts whether you see or not. they both utilizes fast counters, both have to use feel rather than memorizing, Counter by feeling hands touch in wing chun and feeling jabs or punches touch your gloves, arms, and elbow in boxing while guarding. In boxing just clinch as your getting beat, then you know where the opponent is and fucking swing them arms like a maniac. or am i wrong.... -_-

[@davidrochamoreira210]

Incredible individual through his self control n how he lives his life as well native free n positive only well done Dk yoo 🥋 👍🏿

[@oscarpearson7981]

A very strong individual, probably the closest thing to Bruce Lee in terms of skill and potentially speed??????, definitely inspirational in all manners of aspects.

[@Enryu_CZX]

Reason because he's not famous Is he's not an actor yet

[@stellascloset7602]

[@mariustalos200]

[@Moogiwara26]

i love bruce leeee and dk seems to be the next role model in martial arts after bruce lee's death. all those mma ufc join talk... i personally still think dk should'nt join cuz he will kill. and that is a no no..

[@engine2truck6]

Makes sense!

[@engine2truck6]

DK is a gifted athlete and would do well in the cage if he trained with MMA coaches. Usually when people say they won't compete in UFC because their art is too lethal, it is just an excuse. I simply think DK does not want to be a professional fighter because he does not want to be a professional fighter. He is very skilled and likes what he is doing now.

[@davidrochamoreira210]

kmden Rt Wanna bet? My kung fu skills can compete

[@Aris19Q]

DK Yoo is indeed a very skilled martial artist, a fact which derives from all the hard work he has put in. Talent alone doesn't cut it. One thing he failed to realize though, (and how could he not, even people training years in what they think is wing chun don't know of the full extend of it) is that the whole power generating aspect which he emphasizes in his system is, in fact, pure wing chun. Flow, utilize opposing forces to propel power forwards, simply reroute force with nothing but the smallest shift of your body, using your whole body like a spring are all things that are in the core of wing chun. The problem is that the vast majority of people training in wing chun have no idea, or have the most basic of understanding of those things, because these are very advanced stuff, difficult to fully grasp, they take years and years of training. In fact, with a handfull of exceptions, even most of the so called masters don't know about them. Not because Ip Man was cryptic and didn't want to teach the full art or anything as illuminati as that -althought he was a bit of a dick, truth be told, especially with Japaneese people (sorry master)- but simply because they never took the time to dwelve in the style and understand it. They all left before their training was complete, thinking they know. But, if you studied under sifus like Duncan Leung, Allan Lee (R.I.P sifu) or any of their students you understand what i'm talking about. Wing Chun trully is an alive, complete system from all points of view, because it is constantly evolving, incorporating everything new that we find out works in the battlefield and grow beyond that. The most important aspect of Wing Chun is the philosophy behind it. The mathematically structured logic of the shortest distance, the economy of movement, the generation of the maximum crushing power in the smallest amount of time and space and the principle of covering instead of reacting. Nice video, always useful to hear what good martial artists like DK have to say on things.

[@EmpowerYourLifewithBogdanRosu]

How can something be both complete and continually evolving?

[@tijihbakungfu977]

I agree with dk Yoo about the weakness and strength of wing chun.

[@J2897Tutorials]

10:00 Yes, "paintings" would be "faintings" since there's actually no letter F in the Korean alphabet. For example, Koreans often write "fighting" either as 화이팅 (whiting) or 파이팅 (piting).

[@MartialArtsTutorialsFighttips]

Hello bro What is your fight record. Do you have any videos sparring full contact?

[@isaacyeon6334]

Do you think someone that strong should be qualified to spar? The dude literally punched the cover of a motorcycle helmet

[@ievolution-9651]

Yeah hes just too strong to fight is he. :) any idiot can punch the plastic cover of a motorcycle helmet.

[@rockfordberetta8414]

Mr Yoo is an inspiration.

[@flipside21]

Not that he needs to be a former mil/le guy - or to have written credentials for that matter - but what is his professional background? he's one of the few major instructors that has no noted history or professional or marital art lineage.

[@RichardYu1983]

He's certified in Systema.

[@EmpowerYourLifewithBogdanRosu]

He just created his own thing which is not an easy task! :)

has he ever fought a guy that hit back?

Wing chun more of creating your set reflexes to what is a good overall standing (that is known) You reset into a good position or a known set or movements on or even before ques to react.

[@frostobliviongaming3116]

The body must be in a state of relaxation for all muscles. So that you cope with any situation Martial Arts

[@adventuroustravelearth5493]

Awesome interview and great martial artist & interpreter

[@Enryu_CZX]

His thinking is like Bruce Lee he said he absorbed techniques from various martial arts and added in his own

[@cc-nb8om]

It is good to take what you like from the various teachers, as my mum use to say the same, take what you like, that suits you and just being thankful for the opportunity to learn' from those teachers, and the student becomes the teacher because they develop to increase knowledge for the next generation to push it to the next step, cool (nothing stays the same, everything evolves for each generation to do better than the present.

[@EmpowerYourLifewithBogdanRosu]

see aunty 100% agreed

[@nasosandreopoulos3483]

I think he was very diplomatic in the cons of wing chun .Also there are so many systems so its a kind of generalization.Lack of sparring and focusing only in chi sao is the main aspect that needs fixing.On small speed a practitioner mainly a student cant understand which techniques movements dont work .Nice interview by the way and you looked a cool guy in the seminar as in the videos.

[@calebjohnson7354]

tzak sparrow if the wing chun guy were to spar, wouldn't he then know what moves do and don't work?

[@nasosandreopoulos3483]

Thats what i said i think .The term spar defers though many wing chun guys continue sparring with the same way .Dealing a with a non resisting opponent.

[@MasterofPlay7]

lmao he already said that if focusing on the external (various forms) he wasn't able to do much to improve his health and striking

[@calebjohnson7354]

MasterofPlay7 what do you mean by that? Are you saying the forms are useless?

[@calebjohnson7354]

MasterofPlay7 or are you saying that we as wing chun practitioners need to also focus on internal stuff?

[@therenaissanceman8563]

P.S., if you are ever in Utah, U.S.A., look me up. It would be fun to exchange Wing chun thoughts and do a speed workout with you.

It was a great lesson for me .... Thank u ......

[@tonypeter8209]

Talented man in martial art

[@orangeiceice12]

Thise guys hes training with are doing wing chun. He's doing systema with a wing chun theme, like making a cheeseburger sushi roll. Check out Kevin secours or Martin wheeler, or check out their former master vlad vasiliev, and do the eye test. The reason this fires me up a little is that systema has too much martial arts bullshit magic in it already. It could be the next jujitsu. But this guy is trying to go full down the Asian kung fu parlor tricks route, it seems. I respect his skills deeply, though.

[@EmpowerYourLifewithBogdanRosu]

omega he looks pretty good to me, man 😌

[@orangeiceice12]

Empower Your Life with Bogdan Rosu he's amazing, I just wish he would give credit where it's due.

[@orangeiceice12]

Empower Your Life with Bogdan Rosu I know he split with vlad on bad terms, but to act like he invented everything himself - that's not very cool. But it's whatever, maybe I'll get go ask him one day.

7:31 If you have bad eyesight, Dr. Yoo recommends three options: glasses, contacts, or Wing Chun

[@GauteAnimationNorway]

I can vouch for that. Got aweful eyesight, but still able to do good in sparring.

[@ZhuDaMC]

DK Yoo vs Mayweather! Now that is a match I would pay to see!

That all depend how is your inner energy level and how your passion to be come a true martial artist. Maybe one day, i will become stronger than DK! ;) But you, guy and girl, have a great chance to meet him, to learn about his experiences. Do you will at Montreal, canada? Or somewhere else in Canada soon or later?

So he's not gonna mention the fact that he learned from vlad vasiliev and basically integrated his previous skills into ryabko lineage systema?

[@EmpowerYourLifewithBogdanRosu]

omega I honestly don’t know. Why do you feel it’s important to do so?

[@orangeiceice12]

We're all on the same path. I don't expect him to plug systema. I just don't dig this "parts unknown" stuff in 2018. He's a martial arts genius, and one day hopefully I'll study with him; which you have had the opportunity to do. Hats off. But you guys could learn a lot by checking out vlad and Kevin secours, or when li ang (I think) did that wing chun meets systema video. Since that is, of course, what you're looking to do: learn new modes of approaching combat. Systema and WC share a lot in common, I came from the latter to the former, similar to DK. I still play chi sau. Cheers

[@mishaaskar3323]

I knew ont he spot that he does systema, it's just sped up very fast and he mixes his TKD speed and knowlege alone with his WC work...But His Systema work is beyond obvious...I just think it doesn't need to be mentioned in a WC channel as it deviates from the urpose of talking about WC as Systema is already way too broad a topic...WAY TOO BROAD...

[@NZSUBZRO]

colt harrmon Bruce Lee was very knowledgeable but as a fighter and a fighter alone, he never proved his system worked because he never had a real fight to prove it. just like you will never ever see this guy put up a video of him fighting..do you never ever think to yourself why these guys never put up videos of them fighting pro fighters?? c'mon man

[@freaker126]

what dk yoo teach are nothing new. In fact are even similar to lots of other martial arts. Like he said, he learned from various masters and incorporate into his own style. I kept thinking of one of jacky chan old kung fu movie where he used same technique. Even showed, in one scene how you can smack a paper and tear it (hurt an opponents). I'm actually looking for it on youtube. The story about the investigations of who poisoned the water to kill all the master in a meeting. I forgot the title of that movie. :p

DK yoo is definitely Bruce Lee reincarnated... I like his whole philosophy. Most places claim they are "open-minded" but in reality, if you're not down and representing their brand...they want nothing to do with you. I know how that feels. So many times I ran across supposed "open-minded" coaches, only to quickly see that it's just an act. They are like crazed cult members and that's why I don't sign up for martial arts anymore. I decided to just study the theories and principle of application behind any martial arts I come across and leave it at that. DK Yoo, seems like he practices what he preaches...which is very rare these days, especially in the Martial Art world...and that's why he is blowing up world wide and people are starting to utter his name. Same as they did Bruce lee...
