Grand Master Dang Yik 鄧奕: Wing Chun 永春 Six and Half Point Long Pole 六點半棍

[@joedelgado5336]

Beautiful, loved it. Really enjoy seeing a true classic master at work. Traditional masters thank you for sharing.

[@kaiya2]

The weapon looks too short to be a long pole?

[@mgk22]

Typically they vary in size from roughly 6ft to 9ft or longer

[@bspi624]

I been doing Wing Chun for over 20 years. This pole work is the work of a true master. What a treat.

[@mgk22]

this is not wing chun but weng chun

[@bspi624]

@mgk22 I don't know if there is much difference. I just don't know enough to say anything about it.

[@mgk22]

@@bspi624 there is a difference their not the same style now yes there are similarities i wont deny that and more than likely a common origin but they have more then a few differences as well.

[@zhenjiu]

Great footage...any idea of the year(s) these were filmed?

[@mgk22]

How is master Dang Yik a successor to master Tang Yick??

[@TheGhostOperative]

that move where he tippy toe and advances in short steps reminds me of Mr Bean dancing :D. 1:40

[@samsaluni]

shi shi!

[@rileyhooge1201]

That means "Am am" in Mandarin. Congrats!

lol

[@kairahauser3889]

Ok I am new to WC and am really enjoying it, but I dunno about this long pole and this is one of the best videos I have seen, probably because it is much shorter then the typical 9 foot dragon poles. I practiced Jodo for some time (50.25 inch long staff) it's much faster allowing to easily block and get on the inside so now I'm in kicking range with a staff ideal for that distance, what would Master Dang Yik do at that point? Drop his pole and try to steal my Jo?

[@andrew_atanasov]

That's a good question and I've wondered about it myself. Isn't the pole too long? Too impractical a weapon? It seems like it kind of contradicts the close range nature of wing chun.

[@sp8smedia]

Funny. As I read this I was thinking, "Yep. Sounds quite familiar. I wonder what lineage he is from." And come to find out you are also of Lok Yiu's lineage. My SiFu learned from Lok Yiu before he was selected as a private disciple of Yip Man. It's always nice to hear familiar explanations within the family considering how vast and varied interpretations of Wing Chun have become, even just within the Yip Man lineage.

[@sp8smedia]

Drew Watkin My SiFu is Lee Che Kong (Allan Lee). He was also an assistant instructor under Lok Yiu for a few years before being taken on as a private disciple of Yip Man.

[@DanielHernandez-io9db]

Lol I dont think anyone in real life would be fighting with poles or swords or anything of the like.... you either have a gun or you have a fist fight. No one hits up the club with a big ass pole, or any pole for that matter lol. A hilarious sight that would be though...

[@franksiliati3926]

@@andrew_atanasov The pole was used for power training, there is a double end pole that some lineages of wing chun have for fighting techniques.

[@bwing9883]

Does anyone know what lineage this form comes from? Is there anyone who can translate the Chinese that is on the video?

[@wingchunscience5895]

This lineage is called Wing4 Chun 永春 meaning "forever spring", which is not Ip Man's lineage Wing5 Chun 詠春 meaning "chanting of spring". The video shows the different techniques in using a wood post to fight, which includes footwork, stance, wrist and arm movements, positioning and movement of the post (especially the post tip), etc. The guy has a nickname "king of wood post". He was a true fighter in one of the biggest and oldest fruit marketplace in Hong Kong, where there were tons of gangsters messing with the street hawkers and fruit wholesalers back in the 50s-70s.

B wing This is Grandmaster Tang Yik and it is the longpole of Tang Family Weng Chun. There is a new group about the history of Tang Family and Shaolin Weng Chun on Facebook. The group is published by Master Michael Tang, the heir of GM Tang Yik: facebook.com/groups/1936493169928490/
