YOU my friend are a charlatan!!

[@frozenthrone6458]

1.He explained the technicality of body movement for conditioning muscles 2. He cleared the major intention of Chi Sau and using energy efficiently 3. He clarified errors people make while using wing chun 4. He mentioned footwork and agility importance while not moving backwards at all. He taught a lot!

[@Kwokwingchun]

Raz Shaikh Thank you . 🙏

[@michigannewsnow4927]

Living legend I'd love to meet you sifu and be in one of your videos it would be an honor

[@MarcAndreLevesque]

Like my Sifu always says, with Wing Chun, you become a train, once you start to move forward you stop for nothing and going in reverse is impossible. Wing Chun is for close combat and the closer place you can be is toward your opponent occupying the center line.

[@pepelemoko01]

Also why the boxers have an advantage over some wing Chun fighters (footwork)

[@zat-en-aphpaneah2830]

Excellent breakdown!!

[@joelarrarte8486]

I learned more from the basic examples and explanations in this video than a hundred classes in martial arts... Thank you Sifu.

[@Kissmikerotch]

In the '80s I was very blessed to have Master Kwok turn up twice where we trained in an old church hall where we sparred with him when he was blindfolded. Even then, none of us could land a blow on him.

[@rabukan5842]

I've been practicing MA since 1970 in Asia and the US, many belts/sashes in many styles, including Wing Chun. In the end, what Sifu demonstrated here, is in all of the traditional martial art styles and schools. The problem is, very few understand how to achieve what Sifu just demonstrated with such flow. They want to play (chi sau, kakie, sparring/kumite, dummies, bags, etc.) and don't understand the fundamental movements that are essential in real combat. Sifu Kwok is the real deal, and he just imparted a world of information that takes decades to make 2nd nature.

[@SifuRudyuniversalkungfu]

[@FFLL2112]

Simply AMAZING! wow! He's just casually giving away years worth of CORRECT training tips! I've always found Mr. Kwok sir to be very authentic. ty for upload

[@ryancoleman3816]

I love the practical approach of his teaching you just dont see when watching other people teach wing chun or many other martial arts. Not only a great master but great teacher too. He is extraordinary

[@apriljohnson421]

True Wing Chun indeed. He moves as well as Ip Man himself. I love this video!

[@kendro101]

You can see the respect in his student. That shows how great the teacher is!

[@WashingMykale]

It's so refreshing to hear a kung fu master use the term biceps/triceps/isometric exercise. He explains everything in a very scientific manner, and obviously had exposure to other martial arts.

[@WashingMykale]

@Hawksen Doom why?

[@davidduenas4131]

I just just started taking jeet kune do. And there was an extended wing chun class that over took my jkd class. And Mr. Kwok was teaching as a guest. So without even knowing I was participating in wing chun. Let me tell you I was blown away. It such a diffent way of doing things and the technique is amazing. The movements flowed nicely but when applied pressure can be damaging. So much history behind wing chun. I was delighted to have participated in this class. Thank you Sifu Ceasar and Mr Kwok

[@bobbymars403]

Sam Kwok is one of the best. His Sifu was GM Ip Ching ( son of Ip Man) who just passed away in January 2020. Great video. Greetings from Sunny Tang Ving Tsun ,Ottawa , Canada.

[@colinbyerly5212]

My Sifu Howard Hunter had the very same Grandmaster. And the very deep journey into the training details foundations are extremely detailed and exact . It’s amazing when you see videos of the early grandmasters how much they had allowed us to learn from them do to the details . They still today are teaching as if you were getting the same instructions. And you can tell the difference in those who use the name of the style . Yet had made up what so often is said to be the original styles . It pays to look hard even five years to find the teacher with the original teachers directly to the grandmasters. Who really had spent a decade or so with them in China . Thank you for these videos . They are very special !

[@AjaychinuShah]

This is different GM Kwok. Sorry 😞

[@dollhaus1]

I've been studying VT for 30 years under the Ip Man Lineage from Sunny Tang ( Toronto/ Ottawa ) who studied under Moy Yat (NYC / Hong Kong ,a diciple of Ip Man ) .GM Samuel Kwok knows his stuff. Developing the forms properly will develop your strength and mind. It's not about kicking the shit out of anyone. But if that day comes , the person attacking you better have a " Will ".These GM's are out to teach, not rip off gwai los as one posted. If you spent your money on classes and didn't learn from these Masters, you deserve to lose. Great video. Mr Kwok knows all the above GM's I mentioned. R.I.P. Ip Ching .

[@garthrobinson6972]

Hello Bobby, good to speak with a Moy Yat Ving Tsun brother. If you are okay with me asking, then who is your teacher?

[@dollhaus1]

@@garthrobinson6972 My Sifu is GM Walter Jakimchuk in Ottawa Canada. GM Sunny Tang , my Si-Gung is in Toronto. Moy Yat was the Sifu of Sunny Tang. Of course Moy Yat was a student of Ip Man. I had the privilege to meet Moy Yat at a seminar in Ottawa 1997. A true honour.

[@garthrobinson6972]

Too bad I never got to meet Moy Yat. I was just a kid when he died. Thanks, I will look up Walter Jakimchuk. My teacher is Wayne Belonoha, another student of Sunny Tang.

[@andyng5321]

what does it mean?

[@andyng5321]

@Moses Roccostill don't understand

[@andyng5321]

@Moses Rocco haha, I think he means he isn't there already when the opponent punches lands, ready to counter strike

[@section9809]

This is the Wing Chun I was taught. I spent 15 years doing doorwork/bouncing and this was 90% of my movement. Used palms instead of fists to help with legalities, great transition into stand up grappling/control postures and could do it in confined spaces/crowds. Mr Kwok is the real deal!

[@triplecheesemac]

I am beginning to think Tony Ferguson watched some his videos. But seriously did it really helped?

[@section9809]

@@triplecheesemac Yes, very much so. The biggest weaknesses of Wing Chun practitioners is lack of aerobics, no Iron Palm/Iron Robe conditioning and an over reliance/over prioritizing of Chi Sao. At my peak I was training as hard as a Thai Boxer but using mainly Wing Chun and 90% of Joe Public had nothing to match it. A few times I had to remove people who were like State ranked professional MMA or Boxers/Kick boxers and while they were better conditioned than me, they really couldn't deal with my close in game. WC has more than it's fair share of bullshit artists but if you train it like Mr Kwok here teaches, you will have gained a skill set few styles can match. Tai Chi, Ba Gua and Southern Styles like Li Gar do similar things but WC is almost unparalleled in close in fighting. Cheers!

[@EmoneyMaker28]

So amazing, at 12:07, when the Grandmaster invites the "narrator" for lack of a better word into the action, Wow. What a great explanation with no ego which is rare in the Martial Arts World especially the land of Wing Chun where everybody wants to be the greatest teacher. So, simple so refined, no Wing Chun is not the best system. On its own; however, it teaches things that are just amazing, how to do deal with energy, and momentum, attacking the intentions or "Motus Operandi" of the opponent. LOVE IT! Much to be expanded on, to me its the intro course to fluidity among styles.

[@CanonPaulHamilton]

Hello Master Kwok. My father was a Wing Chung teacher in Blackpool and spoke highly of you. You crossed paths in the 80s because he was a video camera man and told me he’d met you.

[@richardthemagician8991]

I totally just met this man at camp in Ireland. His workshop was the best part of the weekend.

[@CharlesDamianoBLC]

Excellent video! Thank you so much for interviewing Master Samuel Kwok. I enjoyed every minutes of his explanation on the application of the techniques learned thru the Wooden Dummy, Chi Sao and the forms! I studied Wing Chun for many years in the early 70's and 80's with Sifu Duncan Leung, Sifu Alan Lamb and Sifu Chow out of New York City! It is a great fighting system and became popularized by the late Bruce Lee!

[@cagaulu]

God.. learned so much from this video.. didn't know that those techniques were targeting to do so heavy damage.

[@bryantfalk7021]

Love this interview. One of the best I have seen. Hello Wing Chun is about fighting! He says that several times. Sticking hands happens only in milliseconds of a fight. But we must train like crazy to get those milliseconds to work flawlessly. When you do it creates what I call "the lucky punch". For no Wing Chun practitioners you just think he got a lucky punch in but it wasn't luck, it was sticking hand, finding the bridge. Thank you again for video!

[@clarke7421]

i trained many times with master kwok. he was very open and free with his knowledge of wing chun but was also willing to include boxing and bjj and anything else anyone brought up.

[@i-evi-l]

Yup! That's what makes him the real deal. He's not clinging to style superiority fantasies like the dopes in MMA and Wing Chun. "BJJ is ground king".... Khabib enters the ring. Muy Thai is best striking..... Tony Ferguson enters the ring. This shit has gotten hilarious. Play the same game too long and others will figure you out.

[@eddiebilly9198]

I've been doing a lot of research on Chinese Culture, lately. I've only recently started to dive into the aspects of Martial Arts, I decided to begin with the Ip Man movies. I never watched them, but had heard of them. That was my first exposure to Wing Chun. My entire life, I've always enjoyed a good MA film, but I have to admit -- there was something about Wing Chun that had me spiritually drawn to it. Out of every MA style I've ever seen / watched -- Wing Chun is the only Martial Art that makes me want to actually /learn/ its art. There is something so beautiful and profound about it. I am considering altering the MA style that one of my main character uses, and having them fight strictly in Wing Chun. (This might cause me to have to undo a crap load of previous character development, but I love WC so much, it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make). This video was one of the most informative ones that I've come across, thus far. This has helped me tremendously for research on my character. Thank you so much for uploading this!! Bless!

[@rafaelnacha1788]

One of the first time I feel I really learned someting practical as a real fighting system from a Wing Chun master. Very good!

[@THEMARTIALMAN]

Thanks for watching!

[@toraguchitoraguchi9154]

First Wing Chun master who talks some sense, when he said people focus too much on Chi Sau, and 1 punch should be enough - if you punch a guy 5 times and he's still standing you better run...., and then he goes to talk about footwork when too many WC people just stand still and do weak Chi Sau....so he's the only Wing Chun master without BS.because he tells the truth.

[@apoptosisduellinks109]

So that's what he said at 17:00: "You better run like hell." When he said "One punch too much. You can't take even one punch" I wonder if he meant 'one punch should be enough to take someone out' or 'you should never get hit by the opponent'.

[@bestthingsinceslicedrice]

I love the stuff he is mentioning about how people are fixated on the form instead of thinking wing chun is used for the sole purpose of fighting, along with how theres resistance where nobody would just stand there to get punched. Plus seeing him move at his age looks very impressive

[@cpt.ahab_it7044]

I use that kind of blocking when I do not want to hurt, just not get hit. If you make and maintain contact, you control their mind. After they can't hit you and their arms get tired, it's over. Sometimes you may get attacked and not wish to retaliate. It is also a good way to trap. The angle of the arm is important, let it slide a little to reduce impact. I got inspired by sticky hands 40 years ago, I love it. I used it to teach my kid.
