Sifu Gary Lam with students @ the park 2011

[@IzzoWingChun]

The two students who are exchanging are actually outstanding. A fight WILL happen that way. I feel bad for anyone who challenges them. Excellent work.

[@JKDVIPER]

Gary’s long time student was getting it in on the smaller kid. He was holding them back in control. GOR SAO. 😉💥💯🐉

[@notusingmyname4791]

little known tid-bit their exchange was quasi-rehearsed to help set up Sifu Gary's lecture. (quasi-rehearsed; they were asked to start having an exchange like that, not choreographed moves though).

[@timetimeful]

"Even no matter how fast you think you are, wing chun is faster than you." Hahahaha! What a bad ass.

[@hoaxialcable]

Gotta respect Master Lam for stepping in and teaching the right way, then getting them to shake hands and then touch hands again. How you gotta do it!

[@nowayasway5258]

I enjoy ALL Gary Lam videos. He TRULY is one of the Best WC practitioners / Sifu out there now. AWESOME!!!

Gary Lam is a very special Sifu! Most respect 🫡! Bradley

[@superhumansight]

Sifu Lam is a legend. I am honored to know him and lucky that he likes to demonstrate on me when he is around. His knowledge is practical in an immediate sense, yet also a long term. See how he uses humor to break tension, yet can make you fear for your life a moment later. That is a true Grandmaster.

Thanks for the post! Love to watch Gary teach!

you can just see the experience and knowledge oozing from this dude

[@JKDVIPER]

I noticed the kid in the stripe jacket was blocking and scoring well too..

[@Tekionemission]

So true - distance and control; applies to all art. The ability to apply under pressure requires good partners and lots of practice. Partner and practice are something not everyone have. Most arts focus on forms and kata. It is a rude awakening when they found out it doesn’t work under pressure. Glad to see you’re training distance and control under pressure. Keep up the good work.

[@ikecerqueira2010]

Whenever I want to present what is Wing Chun, I use Sifu Lam as reference. Specially this video. He is great!

[@hailtheleaf5447]

Gary Lam is awesome!...his wing chun his skills everything!....his is awesome man and awesome teacher!

Also the gentlemen in the striped jacket did well defecting and scoring, I just noticed that now!! Ty

Great!

The facetjoints work so to lift the vertebras, when beeing leveraged by the physical principle (leverage) of pulling on the back of a long stick, will over a rock or so close to the rock, move something much heavier. Only a little pull of the spinalmuscles will have great strengt and can lift a heavy burden.

[@CasshernCasshern]

and to think this guy is 61 years old!

[@endubsar]

If he is coming to london anytime soon pls let me knw.thanks.

[@TheTwsa]

speed, power and focus, the text says. Lam defines furhter as control. TheTwsa supplies adding: correct consiousness of both mind and perception of body!

[@JohnnyAguirreTV]

What is wrong with the Wing Chun hands position and why is using a Boxing hands position better in your opinion? or do you feel either can hands position can be effective?

[@TheTwsa]

and feel of body...!

[@MESHUGAH88]

@Transatlanticism04 do you ever heard about Phillip bayer?

[@pategan7697]

funny, it looks real gentle how he's handling the guy in the white shirt. But it surely from experience I can tell you it does not feel gentle while you are on the receiving end. Watch how he turns his head to the side after he sits him down. This looks so soft but when its happening you feel it is right on the edge of breaking you. Also notice the difference in the first exchange to the last, Sifu quickly makes him start punching in a wing chun type style. great fighters seem to be able to make others conform to their style like this he does it extremely quickly. Especially impressive with a student who is strong and obviously wound up on adrenaline.

[@Velasca]

Hey, hey, cannot do like this!

[@kwstantine83]

Very Good video !!!! G master Lam is great! power - energy - control,i hope one day i can be good at this style of wing chun

[@kwstantine83]

@endubsar Endubsar you can also come to Greece and see Sifu Evangelos Valisakis,Leader of europe for Gary Lam Wing Chun :D

[@estuardoriosxxx]

is the best

[@TheTwsa]

Beeing on the forefront of the movements of the oppenent, is what is the key, I belive. He attacks, you see an opening and sets in in the space he so creates, something that makes him to pull back, which makes you follow him on his way back... That is the way allso of muay thai.

[@wingchunsingapore]

Gary Lam is from Hong Kong...

[@JohnnyAguirreTV]

The Wing Chun fighting stance doesn't look anything like a Boxing stance. You bend your knees, put your legs in a different position, one hand is in front near the chest while the other hand sticks out like you're going to shake someone's hand, and you leave your neck unprotected for attack. The Boxing stance is slightly bending the knees, hands up near the chin and arms compact, and chin tucked in for protection.

[@mywingchunsucks]

nice!

[@JKDVIPER]

And the guy in the sweater has a lot of heart ❤️ and his punches were disciplined but the fundamentals guys!!! Disrupt the balance!! Recurve and collect his energy!! Scatter it n send it back while controlling the distance and shift when you know he’s loading because wouldn’t you spin into a guy who intercepted your arm? I would!! Probably a hook or a cross right? These couple key details n you guys are on your way to becoming masters yourselves!! Great fight!! Great skills!! Peace sifu

[@1Invinc]

It's neither better nor worse. I think each fighter has to find what works better for themselves. I can pose the same question back to you. Every stance has it's pros and cons, and depending on your opponent and your level of skill and style, either works well. If your core Wing Chun is strong, I believe it can be applied from any stance. Given the prevalence of Muay Thai/Kick Boxing today, using their boxing stance designed specifically to deal with MT/KB styles seems appropriate.

[@bernardngy]

Thank you for sharing. This is a great video. Btw, Is Gary Lam from Singapore or Malaysia? His accent sounds familiar.

[@lancelee1382]

All the things that Sifu Lam is doing comes from years of training and dedication in wing chun , nothing comes easy . If you can train in the sil lum tao form everyday , whenever you can , then you can achieve what Sifu Lam is doing . This is for real , no BS . All kung fu systems has these elements its just that not everybody takes the time to do it . Everybody wants things to happen over night , but it really does ' nt happen that way , you need to build yourself up . If you ' re a wing chun student try doing the sil lum tao form for 1 - month , then try and spar with someone , if you don ' t feel yourself getting strong yet , then you need to keep practicing until you feel the benefits . If you ' re not learning WC yet , then find a teacher then experience it . If you really don ' t care about WC then , Stay off this section of youtube .

[@TheShadowlin]

how he does it is exactly how san shou should evolve into real chi sou, and chi sou for all internal and southern gongfu, not only wing chun. This is where it gets to. If you cannot understand how to move this calm and be apparently fast though not outwardly fast, you cannot get to the real bagua or taiji; Many xingyi hold themselves back in this way, because they remain attached to "What I am doing". It isn't what you are doing, it is what WE are doing.

[@papertiger7]

@moondragon05 He was looking pretty serious lol

[@maduroholdings]

yeah take it from a ex boxer and now hsing i/pakua practitioner wing chun structure is unreal the punches look like they dont have power but they do when i was 17 years old and weighed about 140 i could stand in goat stance with my back to the nautilus machine wrap the pulleys around my arm in a way so that i could do the wing chun center line punches no exxageration i could do the entire rack i wasnt that powerful the wing chun structure is just that good

[@JohnnyAguirreTV]

maduroholdings If I may ask, how long have you been trianing in Wing Chun Kyun and how long did you learn Boxing?

[@maduroholdings]

Johnny Aguirre TV I never said I train in wing chun. I train hsing i/ bagua since 1990 i trained in boxing and choy lay fut from 17-22 years old. boxed with the police Athletic League. Now why do I know about wing chun Structure. I went to a wing chun school in my area about a two years ago, and was there a few months. in that time Over and over again the sifu there was able to take me off my root. and take me off my root.somewhat easily. one thing about hsing i and bagua is that we know how to root. most people i dealt with Krav maga, tai chi shaolin teachers and long time practioners. are pretty impressed with my root and structure.. but this wing chun teacher dealt with me like I was a five year old. After being there that short time I did learn that their stance is set up in a way that like hsing i and pakua it is engineered to be stable. not as stable as hsing i but stable in its own right. Test it for yourself visit your local wing chun school. or a couple. and ask them about how their stance works.. and why is their structure sound. I am sure they will be more than happy to demonstrate to you how stable they are. and when you do make them move they will make you pay for that loss in real estate. now lets talk about the power in the wing chun punch. as per the sifu at Elite Academy (these are not my words) the wing chun punch is not a knockout blow it is a barrage of jack hammer type blows. if you watch a jack hammer you will see that the first second and even the third blow is not enough to break the concrete but the fourth fifth and sixth do break the concrete. It is really not enough to just talk about it. you need to feel it for yourself.. notice I said feel it not see it. the eyes cannot process. what it is I am trying to explain. So again visit a wing chun school and ask about the engineering of their stance. and what makes it work. they will be happy to explain. PEACE.

[@masteropuppets100]

Why cant he ask His Sifu A question? You learn from your mistakes, and thats what he was trying to do. Is your Sifu, from north korea or something?

[@masteropuppets100]

I aint talking about the Pidgen toe'd stance. I am talking about the regular neutral, wing chun stance, you use to fight and spar with. Not the stance you start in with, when doing chi Sao. And, I wasn't talking about the Hand structuring, either.

[@salvatoreJKD]

One of few that has understand really the principles and not stupid routines of SAU. Today Wing chun is very bad because is far from the goal! Gary Lam is an OK Sifu and I repeat he express for real the principles .

[@cheothegeo2742]

wow. finally. wing chun doesn't look lame.

[@blurfist]

@bknives LOL. I'm waiting to see "Gary goes to the Library" with the epic hero music. Similar to the Wong Fei Hung song played on almost every chinese kung fu demonstration video from hk/china.

[@masteropuppets100]

Yes, because the traditional wing chun stance, is just like the Boxer's, but more condensed, with more bending of the knees.

[@MikePScott624]

A cooperative partner

[@1Invinc]

Not really. I believe the position of the arms matters much less than the legwork and positioning. You can hold a slightly modified boxing stance yet still be able to apply Wing Chun principles. The traditional stance is applicable yes, but blind adherence to tradition is not good Wing Chun. That stance is most applicable for training and WC vs WC sparring.

[@Fayt713]

Not gonna lie I don't really like most of Gary Lam stuff but this was impressive

lol why not use Ip Man? most of his new students when they ask me to do simple chi sao with them and i asked them howd they get into wing chun andd they all say the movie xD

[@MingTwoG]

shake hands = chi shao and fight again =D

Guess he's a teacher you rather learn by watching. His explanations are rather, well, scratching the surface: "And then (shows move), and then (shows move) and then.."

Explaining Wing Chun to someone is kinda hard, sometimes you have to be shown sometimes on you it helps the best.

The bald head dude boxing and the other guy acting doing wing chun and he snap dude face each time he comes in! PAC sao and the hand intercept the guy hand that wing chun

[@Shadowx209]

sifu gary is good but no matter how skillful he is with his wing chun no match for a pro boxer, hes good at that cuz they are used to fighting like that, but with a boxer is different, you cant do that in boxing, you will get knocked off

[@TheTwsa]

One things allways hit me though, these guys allways never really act as offencive of defencive, allways they keep the act of game... which is no good...!
