Sifu Gary Lam's Wing Chun Lightning Hands With Evangelos ( Greece )

[@file66]

Sifu Gary Lam is the real deal - a strong fighter and a great teacher - it's pretty amazing that you can just go to his house and train with him and his students in his back yard. Fantastic stuff

[@Geekman333]

I love to quote Lao-Tzu when it comes to people who disrespect ANY martial arts style. 'Those who know don't talk. Those who talk don't know.' Train insane or stay the same. Peace.

[@Transatlanticism04]

I can't stop watching,Gary Lam is the best wing chun sifu in the world!

[@eamonob84]

what a cool video! gary lam's speed and technique never ceases to amaze me. and you add to it that evangelos is one of the best wing chun guys in the world and gary lam makes him look like a beginner!

[@germancrespo2724]

I love Gary lam...he is really good humble ..also very fluid he is a master of wing Chun no shiet !!!!!

[@theUsesOFnot]

Lam's skills are nothing short of exceptional. It takes mountains of practice and patience to get to where he is. don't waste your time trying to engage in meaningful respectful dialog with all the keyboard warriors and critics; they are lame and harmless. just keep training and be disciplined.

[@takingoutthetrash1512]

LOL, where there is no rules it is actually more dangerous for a wing-chun fighter.. rules would save a wing-chun fighter from possible death

[@takingoutthetrash1512]

wing-chun is fake, 90% of wing chun practitioners get their ass beat in every fighting scenario... Its 2017 going on 2018, wake the fuck up! END OF STORY!

[@PatrickEvans-x1v]

Takingout thetrash 60 percent of wing chun was lost in a fire

[@JKDVIPER]

He’s the best in the world in my opinion.. number 10 is the Bruce Lee favorite “PAK 2 PAK” and number 11 is a LOW PAK with lop and 12 is the running hand with lop and TUI PAK or pressing pak.. ㊙️

[@JKDVIPER]

@@takingoutthetrash1512 boooo.. no way Jose

[@uptish1]

Outstanding!! Just outstanding, Shifu!! Regards.

[@fumanjoe1]

Gary lam is a humble teacher.

[@thomasgroov3r]

It's always crazy when you see a guy that most people would not flinch to get into a confrontation with slapping around a skilled martial artist. Moral of the story...never assume you can dominate someone unless you know for sure

[@wingchun-simplekungfu7584]

👍🏻never assume

[@OryieaN]

Awesome!!! I am still a ways from learning the 12 hands of pak, actually learning pulling hands right now, but when I see my si-hings do it, it looks very cool...and even better demonstrated by Si-kung...thanks Sifu Evangelos for the demonstration! Cheers!

[@Tarc5150]

I can't believe some of the criticism of Gary Lam. He one of the top 3 wing Chun instructors in the US if not the world. His Wing Chun is incredible. If you live near Los Angeles, go to his school and take a class. He teaches personally to most new students. I think you will change your mind in about 5 minutes.

[@file66]

This was true 11 years ago and still 100% true today - strong fighter, great teacher, fantastic school

[@chisauking]

He makes it look soooo easy!

[@massimilianoaitoro2399]

I like it, Sifu! 👍🏼Just i remember now, 12 hands! 👍🏼

[@quincyyoungbloodakajudah4-486]

This is awesome stuff here ..👀

[@JMEASWHO]

Mr. Lam has some real power in his body.

[@MakCw]

This is what we call a WING CHUN Master!

[@MrCrosstrainer]

The God of wing chun. no other comment can describe this.

[@JanGrimek]

Bravo, Sifu!

[@Edalb123]

Near the end when he is doing the pak sao counters and says this is number.....are those sequences from an instructional DVD?

[@JKDVIPER]

That is 18 hand PAK SAO 1. FRONT HAND 🤚 outside 2. FRONT HAND inside 3. BACK HAND outside 4. BACK HAND inside 5. FRONT HAND with helping hand outside 6. FRONT HAND With helping hand inside 7. BACK HAND with helping hand OUTSIDE 8. BACK HAND with helping hand inside .. 9. TAN TAN-DA 10. PAK 2PAK Bruce Lee’s favorite action.

[@WingChunChiSauTube]

Just awesomeness right there🙏🏻😎

[@quincyyoungbloodakajudah4-486]

This video right heeeeere 💯 💪

[@OliverLarson]

True, you are taught to fight where the nature of the incoming force places you. That is how it should be. If you actively try to move to the blind side or anywhere else, you risk losing contact and thereby control.

[@adolphijumba6094]

It’s so perfect thanks

[@yisraelaker6696]

Awesome skills

[@igormgplays2473]

Good style !

[@wingchun-simplekungfu7584]

Great hands Lam sifu 🙏

[@SuperEpeen]

@stateofawesome Its a demonstration not a competition or fight

[@geoffalan1857]

reminds me of sammo hung. would love to see those 2 duel

[@Tarc5150]

@Warkiam I probably shouldn't have posted that but here's a few and I realize some are considered JKD instructors more so than just Wing Chun. Ted Wong, Randy Williams, Augustine Fong, Dan Inosanto, Richard Bustillo for the US Instructors.

[@stjfv01]

The perry in this still is crazy!! Counter killing moves!

[@Tarc5150]

@Warkiam Lamar Davis and Samuel Kwok are pretty good as well. I went to seminar from both a few years back and was amazed by the sensitivity they had in Chi Sao.

[@shanefrance5071]

Awesome

[@tueikfdig]

Gary can do whatever to win, I wish I am as good as him.

[@sanjiaozhang]

@johnmaraschino I did not worry at all ;-) Are you talking about your personal experiences with Sigung Wong Shun Leung?! It might be kind of a bold statement to say Sifu Gary teaches bad wing chun. With all due humbleness - I have decades of experience with different systems of fighting and different interpretations of wing chun. And I've never come along anybody with the knowledge, experience and ability of Gary Lam.

[@Velasca]

Gary had drank a bottle of red wine before this video was shot and was arguing with the neighbours

[@Aniontedone]

Good trapping and controlling. This the true way to chain punch.

[@ssj7gokurpg]

@vombie If the opponent has stiff arms and uses brute force it can be used as a lever to help the wing chun guy close the distance. For a beginner, They want people to play chi sau soft so that the WC guy will learn how to redirect the force instead of fighting it. But once they learn how to handle the opponents power, they will be able to play with the non wing chun guy no problem

[@dong-chinchai8163]

Having actually seen Gary Lam live...I've seen first hand how potent and efficient his fists are. You wouldn't wanna be there if it was a real fight between you and him.

[@mark1983peace]

Gary Lam has the best wing chun!!!!!! Can someone please tell me how the wing chun system defends against street attacks since most street aggressors will throw a hook or overhand punch. Obviously, the aim would be to intercept the swing with a more direct centreline punch, but what I'm asking for is how they block or deflect the shot. Thanks

[@javiercisneros8622]

There are a few excercices that explain very well the theory of the 4 doors . Speaking in christian its like ; adapt your form in order to block/atack the agressor’s movement

[@kentucky1174]

Not to shit on Gary's skills as they're obviously way up there, but he's annoyingly arrogant with his chi sao. At around 1:42 he lowers his left hand as if to say "look at me I only need 1 hand to break you" then Evangelos counter attacks and has to stop his punch right in front of Gary's face cause now his left hand is too late to the party to block it.

[@mueblepl]

Great Sifu, great Wing Chun!

[@sanjiaozhang]

@TheZista Thanx :-) Can you clarify to me what you mean by "the chinese boxing system"?

[@fabiandee8178]

the push is hilarious

[@krat0102]

@chisauking coz he did practiced more than 30 yrs

[@chsftball57]

I wish someone taught this in my area 😞

[@tao123chi]

i will find it and send it to you. also look up william chung vs emin boztepe

[@ali404040]

he is different he is uniqe he is fast and powerful

[@DylansTracks]

I have a WT friend who believes he can give Sifu Gary Lam a run for his money. I am a Sifu in the Sticky-Boxing lineage of Jeet Kune Do. As my Wing Chun came from the WSL lineage, I have smacked him up good, bur the ego never goes away.. I wish Sifu Gary would put him in his place from the WSL Lineage!

[@222-n9h]

Lmfao he just shoves him "Fuck out my face" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@JohnnyCashual]

Nice!

[@Warkiam]

@Tarc5150 Who are the other two? Let's see if we have the same list?

[@DMulah3]

@VingTsunFANATIC What leung ting was jackie chans sifu and close personal friend

[@krat0102]

@chisauking anyway.. gary lam is a good instructor

[@bizz1024]

You hope I like it? I love it!

[@fdesa12]

I'm curious but what is it about William Cheung's WC system that makes it better? I read somewhere that the system focuses much more on using footwork and positioning relative to other WC systems, but I can't really remember.

[@sanjiaozhang]

@TheZista Ever thought about a difference in instruction and sparring (playing)? You can't see anything here?! Then why waste your time and watch? Don't worry if you don't get it, just stick to things you can understand/see. Cheers!

[@sabdol916]

Gary lam is the next great master.

[@stateofawesome]

@SuperEpeen it's a rather poor demonstration of the effectiveness and efficiency of Wing Chun then. Or is it a demonstration of how to do things badly?

[@CasshernCasshern]

if you say the fight between wc vs karate vid then let me tell you that they are not useing punches cause its not a fight on the street they are using open palms!if the open palms where punches you would not need to throw him 100 punches!believe me 3 punches on the same spot with presure from your back leg it would be enough !anyway seminars are for the audience to see the techniques not for fighting !thats why they are doing it slow!if the sifus go at full speed you will not understand the tech

[@Ichigooo11]

coooooooooool

[@Noizy_Katz]

that was awesome

[@iamcrabby]

Hi, is the center still located at 121 S Rural? I passed by and it looked like residential area so i wasn't sure if that's the right location.

[@kwstantine83]

i know about William Cheng and i have practise some , but still i dont confirm it

[@pipi3222]

is this the famous wooden dummy form in the beginning???

[@trondyne]

EDIT meaning to say it is not Ving Tsun's fault... above..

[@cornwallgeezer]

Amazing!

[@wingchunkungcenter]

Best system...

[@waltonsam1503]

good

[@CasshernCasshern]

chalenge accepted :D !same goes for you if you come to greece for holidays!

[@phalanx66Satan]

Are there any specific attacks that attack the open hand itself during their block or knife hand attack?

[@nikolaosachillesmyrmidon9320]

Bruce was close friend to William and William was the one who took Bruce to Ip Man... Thats why Ip Man send Bruce to train with William many times when Bruce caused troubles to the older students.. I've seen letters from Bruce to William where Bruce shows great admiration to Williams Wing Chun knowledgel. WC was great and made a lot of great students who achieved many things in Hong Kong Kung Fu tournaments and Australian Kick Boxing tournaments.If you ask Dan Innocanto about Bruce n' William

[@cornwallgeezer]

Hey, i think that on wikipedia it says that Lo beat Wong, no way i would put my house on it!

[@SoyaSaaauce]

most compliant partners I have ever seen

[@Geekman333]

+SoyaSaaauce It's chi sau. It's not fighting simulation. It's sensitivity training. It's only a part of Wing Chun. Sparring is completely different.

[@ipman343]

+Geekman333 I know what Chi Sao is. Iv been doing wing chun for 9 years.

[@Geekman333]

Ip Man That's great. I was talking to SoyaSaaauce though.

[@SoyaSaaauce]

+Geekman333 This is compliant chi sao. That is what I meant. That guy is just holding his tan sau statically in position after Gary Lam shows something. Have you seen the switzerland footage ?

[@Geekman333]

No I haven't. Where can I find it please?

[@leoramirez4024]

just 1 question for Sifu Gary Lam is it better practice when your partner is always pauses the punches because that can give your students a false sense of security just asking, and thanks for the video

[@SoyaSaaauce]

+Leo Ramirez No it is not. That type of training is okay to develop muscle memory of the movement. When you can do a movement proficient enough it should be trained realistically.

[@Liaret]

Blindside itself is a very controversial thing. In WC/WT style I currently practice there are lots of drills and actions on a blind side, but the thing is - it works rarely in fights with modern styles. In most fights I was in, I had to work mostly "inside" the man, and that is where european WT excels. No one really will let you go to blind side, aside from situations when your opponent is WAY slower then you, but in this situations - you don't need your WC to beat him at all.

[@TheBjjones]

Liaret "European" WT🤣

[@Liaret]

@@TheBjjones it has been 9 years, but yeah, I was referring to EWTO and EBMAS. I've trained WT/WC around the world, and many European variations of it are drastically different from what you will find in traditional Chinese WC branches.

[@ichimarugin1995]

​@@TheBjjonesyeah. Ewto is European. And modern. A kind of wing tsun nodoby other know. Wing tsun really work. Not this Gary Lam one.

[@ichimarugin1995]

​@@Liaretafter 10 years in ewto i can tell: our is the most complete and realistic wing tsun in the world ;)

[@stateofawesome]

There's something I don't understand here: why doesn't the student ever bring his guard up? I'm sure it's one of the first thing's we're taught, to get back to guard position if you feel as though you have any gaps. The student also seems quite senior but never pulls his hand out of the "traps" & into man/wu sau. Nor does he attempt to slip any of the laps. He seems to bring his trailing hand back way further than a WC student should, too. It's like he's helping his Sifu beat him or something.

[@mocktong]

I like how he counts his kills - This is no. 1, no. 2.....this is no. 12

[@MrX01011000]

May I ask what the video is called? I would like to see it.

[@JKDVIPER]

9 tan tan..10 Fung hao .. 11 running hand .. low 12 Fung hao ..

[@nikolaosachillesmyrmidon9320]

Sifu Theo Katsigiannis is the best in Greece,at least. WC's style is more effective because you use the blindside,its 50-50, has more and better footwork,and just to know the great Bruce Lee learned a lot from Cheung and there are documents from Bruce's quotes about William Cheung... It all depends on the sifu of course. If Sifu Theo was at Lam's position and it was a real fight,i dont know if Evangelos would stand more than 10 seconds...

[@KungFuKing166]

Ive never seen a good William Cheung school

[@ANGELSGYMSINGH]

Well brother you have a point. But there is more to infighting squareup principle. There are angles, Bobing and weaving, Slipping and pivoting and the all important moving of the head. Hand and foot moving and arriving together is more powerful when whole body moves together as a unit. WT guys have problems with guys who can do this and not give up their arms. Master Lam is very strong, big, wise and experienced. His Kung Fu is Strong. I think I would learn alot crossing arms with him.

[@Soulfege09]

At 1:51 if you listen closely you can hear Gary about to bust out laughing after he smacks up Evangelos. LOL!

[@aliim8]

@chisauking Right! Right!!

[@robertbeck1602]

good point these people that bash other arts are in a minority, a muay thai trainer sent a guy to my wing chun class because he thought he was lacking good defense, he trains cage fighters, and told the guy to go and learn wing chun. These sort of people on the internet do a hell of alot of research but very little fighting. If u went to any good mma school or muay thai school and told them u have done wing chun, they will definatly not laugh in your face like these sort of people suggest.

[@bambangmubariqlol]

Omg!! seriously??!! why do you think the sensei has a sunglasses on?

[@papertiger7]

@shiifu Why not vs someone from another lineage? I would definitely love to see Wan Kam Leung kick Lo Man Kam's ass.

[@robertbeck1602]

quote from grandmaster ip ching "any old grandmaster who claims he can still fight is a fraud, we forgot how to fight along time ago, all we are good for now is teaching through our past experiences, nothing else.

[@zacktillery]

Defend against a taken down. Explain to me the steps you'd use. Let's say I was over under and was going for a simple hip toss, uchi mata, or even a single. Explain what you'd do.

[@trondyne]

Much of what you say is true but square on stances are used in many full contact arts and are an absolute must when in-fighting in any art.. Ving tsun is the at fault it is the people and teachers issues for not teaching it correctly--it is a connected controlling art--or encouraging expression and learning in free fighting...

[@zacktillery]

Well played, yet unexperienced in grappling most likely. If you strike, you don't know how to defend against a take-down. You're also going under the assumption that EVERY SINGLE TIME you can knock me out with the first punch. A good boxer knows that the jab tears them apart, while setting you up for hooks etc. If you think that while I'm going in for the shot, and you jab, you'll knock me out, you're just unexperienced. But I respect your comment, and thank you for replying. :) Love and respect

[@johnmaraschino]

hihihih gary lam weeks!!!

[@ericcheng3103]

Gary lam

[@chisauking]

@pkpk614350 : actually, that's not an accurate observation. I know many, many wing chun practitioners with 30-years' plus and they don't seem to be skillful. Time is not the only factor. One must also take into consideration of training method, intelligence and talent.

[@zacktillery]

Grappling is a whole different classification. Think about it like this: You can have 10,000 different martial arts and they could all do well against each other. You can put ONE wrestler in with all of these people, and they'll all get beaten. Simply because they don't know how to grapple. A pure grappler vs a pure striker = a hurt strikers every time.

[@RaymunJai]

1.04 was some nice reflex!

[@BaGuaPerfectionist1]

WHAT IS THAT VIDEO TITLED

[@sai2013sp]

Good

[@statar905]

I missed the "lightning hands" somewhere... and full controll- is it any joke or...?
