My sifu Rick Frye had a falling out with Ron Heimberger when I was learning Chum Kiu, began training under Sam Kwok when I was learning Biu Jee. When he came back from his trips to the UK and Hong Kong he was full of new ideas and super impressed with Kwok. Some things blew his mind, like the way he collapses his bong sau, apparently breaking all the rules but making it work perfectly.

Sam Kwok was never great but he is a fantastic ambassador for Wing Chun! He goes to different countries promoting it, he is well connected with those from other martial arts, he stayed away from conflicts such as the Wing Chun war in the 80's. In terms of functional Wing Chun to directly use on the street, Sam Kwok's Wing Chun is as far removed from that as you can get, for functional practical stuff check out people like Sergio Iadarola, Francis Fong, Thomas Mannes, Emin Boztepe, etc but to learn the art to look good and to learn more about Chinese culture then Sam Kwok is the man. Any of the afore mentioned people would knock Sam Kwok around a room at chi sao and those from other lineages who have done chi sao with Sam Kwok they describe him as being like swiss cheese i.e. full of holes and very easy to hit but to someone not trying or that doesn't know too much then Sam Kwok's chi sao can look great to them.

Dominic - it's strange when you talk about Samuel's arms. I did chi sau with him back in 1996/97 and I swear his arms were like trolley bars wrapped with skin. Incredible. If interested, I have a video here somewhere of a seminar he did in Edinburgh with Ip Chun. During the seminar Ip Chun and Samuel are chi-sauing and it's getting faster and faster and faster and in an instant Ip Chun breaks Kwok's centre line and slaps him so hard that it took him off his feet. There was such a gasp in that room. Even my sifu Paul Smith was stunned. We all were, including Samuel himself, who did crack the joke 'oh you are so kind' to Ip Chun which brought about laughter. But even after that seminar broke up we were all talking about it.

I’m not in agreement with necessarily defining a G.O.A.T or Wing Chun, but that you for sharing your experience. It seems as if Sifu Kwok helped sharpen some areas that you needed sharpening in. Prior to that the Chi Sao was a bit “wide.” That is the arm movements. There was a lot or reaching. In my humble opinion the horse carries the weapons. That doesn’t seem to be what was going on.

It is called active time distortion. If you place the tip of your tongue behind your top front teeth and engage in abdominal breathing, You will see The effect in a more pronounced fashion. Although I picked the technique up on my own almost 30 years ago, I recognized it immediately when you described it. Basically all you're doing is locking in your conception and governing vessels which then speeds up your thinking processes and thus slows down your perception of time and motion. To this day I still don't know why it works. I just know that it does.

Izzo, I must express my deep disappointment with this video. I've been following you for a very long time, even from the days of your police career, but this video praising Samuel Kwok doesn't sit well with me. I’ve had several Wing Chun (or more accurately, Yung Chun as it’s called in China where I also trained) instructors, and my experience with Sam at a seminar was quite disheartening. He taught one thing but demonstrated another. When I asked if he could show me the technique he was explaining, he agreed, but it didn’t work. He then resorted to using force and, admittedly, some skill to cover up the failure. From that moment, I ceased to exist for him at the seminar. For me, that’s not the mark of a true teacher or a master of the martial art. Others may share their experiences, but the internet is full of substantial criticisms. Thus, for me, this portrayal is professionally unacceptable. Warm regards, Jaro

You might be right, i really can't say as i haven't met the guy. But as a Judo teacher with a lot of experience in martial arts, i can tell you that many things just don't work by themselves and others are way better as a reaction, as a plan B. For example Bong Sao, if any teacher tried to demostrate Bong Sao by itself and the other person actually tried to punch them, the teacher will surely fail. As Izzo has said many times, most techniques on Wing Chun are reactions to what your hands find on front of them, so it isn't like you go "I'm going to do a Jum Sao/Sinking hand!" But if you punch and the opponent blocks in a certain way, then you can do a Jum Sao, but nowdays, it is very hard to teach like that without being deemed a Mcteacher (lol😂) because of the typical "You punch with that hand, on this way on this area and then i can do my technique" that is done by people that do not know what they are doing/teaching, but if you do Judo, you'll that many techniques are either done with brute force or when the opponent does some specific thing, which will seem fake whrn teaching the move at a seminar, but that's how it is... Once again, i haven't met the guy and haven't watched the whole video so you might be right, i just wanted to give my two cents
@jeremymcbride4 ай бұрын
I will start by saying I have no experience with Sam Kwok - I've always believed it is very difficult to teach a fluid art. There are always going to be fundamentals, and teachers can do their best to teach you 'when A, do B' - but in reality that's almost never how it applies - even at extremely high levels of training. Fundamentals are building blocks of the art, and it is ultimately up to the student to learn how to be flexible with them; when to apply them, and when to 'break the rules'. Izzo says it very well at 1:43 - 1:56. In street fights or self defense scenarios, some say that training and rules of engagement go out the window when you get punched in the face. Izzo has covered many videos over the years of 'wing chun vs MMA' etc and usually wing chun gets obliterated. Why? Sticking to the fundamentals, following the 'rules'. When a big dude is throwing haymakers, most of the time he only needs to land one. If you're the smaller guy in the fight, chances are also very high that the big guy can handle enough of your strikes, and if he gets you to the ground, it's probably game over. This is also where I love that Izzo discusses and includes concepts from wrestling, BJJ, etc. The combination of various arts is what took Ip Man Wing Chun and became Bruce Lee Jeet Kwon Do. (I know Izzo doesn't like Bruce, but that's besides the point here) Your description here seems to encompass that topic completely to me. Sam 'broke the rules' applying force to push through a technique gap when something didn't go as planned. That, to me, sounds like the lesson in your interaction - Adapt. The channel 'Inside Fighting' posted a video last month about Wing Chun about 'Grandmaster teaches me a lesson' - Great video IMO, but at 14:30 there is a comment that really sets this whole conversation : "Sensitivity is nothing without force". And while I wholly agree that if he ignored you past that moment because you questioned him that it was very poor as a teacher, however calling out Izzo that this "doesn't sit well with me" and that this "portrayal is professionally unacceptable" because his experience with Sam Kwok wasn't the same as yours is asinine. Total side note: Wing Chun vs Yung Chun is primarily the difference in Mandarin vs Cantonese, where Mandarin is the primary language nearly 15:1. At least in the western world, if you google Wing Chun, you get martial arts. If you google Yung Chun, you get peoples social media profiles.

@@jeremymcbride I agree with most of your comments and additional clarifications on the topic. I have been following Izzo's videos for a long time and usually find myself in agreement with him. However, this time, I must respectfully disagree. Regarding street fights or even MMA, as well as the typical practice of martial arts by most people, you are completely right. These are indeed different beasts, and one should never become complacent or believe that "gym" practice alone is sufficient. While pressure testing could bridge the gap between practice and reality, it is unfortunately rare in today's martial arts teaching. This is also the case with Sam Kwok. He has never been in such a position, and using force on a cooperative student does not constitute teaching in my view. It would be different if there was an agreement on pressure testing, but that was not the case. As for Wing Chun and Yung Chun, I am well aware of the difference between the Mandarin and Southern dialects, having learned it the hard way while searching for a Wing Chun teacher in Xi'an. Additionally, my understanding of Ip Man and his teachings, gleaned from firsthand experience, differs significantly from the movie portrayals and stories about him. Nevertheless, there are great teachers of Yung Chun in China who remain relatively unknown due to the different terminology used.

And well technically every existing style of wing Chun, aside from a small few which came from other students of Leung bik(ip mans sifu) they all came from ip man.

@@willtherealrustyschacklefo3812 The second half of your statement is correct. Ip Man taught different students differently and that can be seen in the way his different students did their wing chun. That's only natural as Ip Man developed as a teacher over the years and the way he taught his art or modified what he taught, reflects this. Your first 3 lines are very inaccurate. Ip Man is only responsible for his lineage of WIng Chun. There are other styles/lineages of WIng Chun that existed before Ip Man and while he was around. He did not create Wing Chun. Theres Yuen Kay San lineage, Vietnamese Wing Chun, You Choi Wing Chun, Pan Nam Wing Chun, Gulao/Pin Sun Wing Chun etc... These are just a few other wing chun branches that are in existence outside the Ip Man line. So to say " technically every existing style of wing chun, aside from a small few which came from Leung bik(Ip Mans Sifu), they all came from Ip Man", is wrong and factually inaccurate. You didn't even credit Chan Wah Suh as Ip Man's Sifu but a character who's existence is dubious at best according to Wing Chun historians. We in the west are constantly finding out about obscure lineages because of the secrecy that existed in Wing Chun. Just because Ip Man lineage is the most popular because he taught openly in Hong Kong, doesn't mean all wing chun comes from Ip Man.

@@0352usmc1 for starters , nobody said ip man created anything, and wing Chun is actually atleast 1,000 years old if not much older. However I don't know of many at all that didn't come from either of those two. aside from rather obscure "lineages" which were not passed along to very many or really even within any schools, more so just from one individual to another. And Leung bik (the son of Leung Jan) was chans sifu, and he always wanted to ip to be trained by him. There's nothing "dubious" about him. Or the fact that he did teach a good number of individuals in both China as well as where he moved to in the UK.

Heyy ✌ Very interesting video so far. Just watched the first 3 mins of it and already need to writhe a comment haha. I live in germany. Where keith kernspecht is like the "main" source 99,99% of all Wing chun people learn from. The interesting thing is that the names you already dropped like boztepe are a ABSOLUTE ecaption. 99% of wing chun people comeing from the schools from kernspecht are (no offense) absolute garbage in applicating things they learned. So here in germeny the bad reputations clearly rooted to kernspechts teachings and methodes. After finishing watching the complete video i can clearly see why you say he is the GOAT of wing chun. On one hand i would easily agree with that. When it comes to the external and technical and crosstrain side of his way of wing chun i would 100% agree. But here is another point. When you look at the Kuen Kuits of wing chun you clearly see that wing chun was more of a internal style then a external style what practice 99,99% of wing chun people today. So i'd say when it comes to the people who practice wing chun more in the direction was desinged to be in the old times (internal style) there are some way better people. I would recommand to check out The Martial Men channel where you already used some martial from in your video. People like Sergio Idadrola, Yuri Moreli, Nima King and so on are way more advanced in the internal side of wing chun. I personally would recommand to EVERY wing chun guy to traing the external and the internal way of wing chun cause it solves some wing chun problems most people have and why they start crosstrain in other arts.

SAM KWOK ???? PLEASE STOP THE BS MATE.... SAM KWOK IS NOT A GOOD TEACHER NOR A GOOD WING CHUN PRACTITIONER. SAD, HIS TECHNIQUE WILL NOT WORK IN A REAL MARTIAL ART FIGHT. SIFU FRANCIS FONG & MASTER TU TENGYAO ARE BETTER THAN KWOK BY A LONG SHOT , SAM KWOK IS NOWHERE NEAR THAT PERFECTION.

I've heard Ramsey Dewey say it's an excuse to say my martial art is too do in MMA but there are some martial arts that I could maybe say are too deadly to do in MMA such as tiger claw eagle end dragon because of those involve ripping and tearing and there's also deadly techniques in martial arts and there are reasons you wouldn't want to do these things in MMA first off I don't think you want to kill anybody even in MMA secondly you get in trouble with the law

What makes you qualified..nothing. Ip Man said he wasn’t a grandmaster, so please explain how you think coke master Kwok is? There’s so much wrong with this video that it’s embarrassing.

I don't know for sure, but I notice that Sam Kwok has a forward head posture, because of this I have considered that he has spent a lot of time on the wooden dummy and this has led me to concern about the height of the wooden dummy and whether it should be adjusted for the individual to prevent issues.

He misunderstands a lot + focuses too much on things he shouldn't over/rather than things which he should.
