"Wing Chun" Documentary

[@spinningbacksidekick]

This was a beautiful love letter to Wing Chun. It's a martial art and this documentary truly showed the art of it. Whatever martial art or martial sport you practice, give it your everything, both in and out of the gym. Train hard and live honorably.

[@austincraver4894]

"Live honorably." Enough said my friend!

[@ngchernkhangroy59]

Mma can try Bruce lee.

[@BlackDragonModernCombat]

This was superior! After all the garbage I have to endure by the ignorant, this gave me hope! I have 45 years of Wing Chun and still training, teaching & learning. Its not a dying art; a most deadly art and a hidden beauty for those with discipline.

[@aqx770]

Having practiced Okinawa Karate for well over 40 years I can say without reservation that the principals shown here are rock solid. I have great respect for Sifu and for Wing Chun.

[@fightscience]

Fantastic documentary, especially the opening scene. Thank you for sharing.

In actuality W.c.k. did not begin this way. Look into the 1860s and before to 1700 Shaolin then back to 1560. This jamming or the body is dangerous and is a recent development mainly by Kung Fu movies.

[@210rmg]

After years of hard work and training in wing chun I can say that i'm glad I chose to practice this art, it truly changed me physically and mentally.

[@jaipartyka5586]

Wing Chun is an extension, further development of a person. It makes them humble, precise, disciplined and many more things. It builds character, understanding and respect. It guides you, challenges you, defines you and it is something that can never be taken away from you. Wing Chun has helped me though a very dark and strenuous year, for without me practising and training wing chun i would not have been able to think clearly and make sense of everything. I have myself to thank for my dedication and my perseverance and i never gave up. Same goes for wing chun. It is a journey, an art, a discipline, a lifestyle etc, and it is yours to make, take and master. To each is own in wing chun and what it can do for you.

[@millsbomb007]

not just wing chun, many other things can do this for people. For me in Bboying, as in the video same learning techniques, slow, relaxed with lots of repetition right from the off, and remain so even when speed is introduced.

[@fightun3r]

I think martial arts in general teaches you all this

[@Doctorgogeta]

I absolutely love this documentary and how it explains the philosophy behind it. And using wing chun in our daily lives thank you for posting this

[@lebarosky]

This is a brilliant and very comprehensive documentary of one of the greatest of the East Asian fighting disciplines. The Sifu is obviously a grandmaster of his art, and it is a very valuable record of his mastery.

[@brandonbriseno9810]

Wow how can people dislike this video, it is truly inspirational and now learning Wing Chun is on my bucket list

[@subwoofer6726]

It's trolls and people who bandwagon on the Wing Chun hate train who think disliking the video will actually affect it's status on KZbin. That or MMA/UFC meat heads who know fighting from their chairs and television.

[@brandonbriseno9810]

Probably

[@ZaddyZavid]

Watch this doc also kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJekqXpoa7etpck

[@Mhurilo10]

I disliked it because they are focusing on wing Chun as an effective striking set of techniques instead of focusing on the *super-rich* culture, history and philosophy behind it. So if my objective is having a calmer mind. Wing Chun is valid If my objective is defending myself against someone who wants to harm me, I would go for the 'meatheads' to defend myself from them. But this video offers nothing on Wing Chun culture and philosophy

[@danpt2000]

I don't quite understand Wing Chun, but in Chess, the masters also say the key to winning is gaining and maintaining the center, this will allow your pieces greater maneuverability. Wing Chun seems to teach a similar principle for close quarter combat.

[@austincraver4894]

I think that all of the best life lessons teach us to calm down and focus upon what truly matters.

[@antwango]

same thing retaining control or dominance of your centre line comes down to percentages and who has the greater control in all walks of life be it mind body soul! Greater maneuverability for chess, works for all MA as well as wing chun....

[@MrMoSuk]

I have practiced Wing Chun for a long time... Wing Chun is, it is no doubt, the best art for street fighting. I survived in many street fights, using the deadly slug footwork, Tan Sao block to handle fierce crazy multiple attackers at the same time on the street as well as on the rooftops. Poking the eyes and the throat, attacking the groin, and headbutting are real-deal techniques. From my experience, Wing Chun is the most effective on the rooftops where thugs cannot even move a millimeter...

[@AbsoluteZeroxX]

I've practiced for over a decade and then really studied heavy on the jeet kune do side of the system. Because of my structure jeet kune do flows easier for me not by a lot but enough to where it taught me to be soft. I remember the days people thought wing tsun was fake. Those people really aren't around anymore because hearing to be soft was crazy trust me I grew up around western boxing style and mindset on one side, on the other side I grew up around martial arts chinese boxing style. My first 7 years of wing tsun I could not get soft and flow the right way and buying a dummy for 1000 USD. wasn't the best thing to do either. It was hard to reverse the hardened mindset it gives you takes years I've just recently improved techniques by being smooth and right flow, and I was stuck for about almost 4 years. I've practiced for a little over 12 years now total. Being soft with strength and technique is the hardest thing to do. Respect to all true sifu's and disciple's around the world. Love these documentaries.

Your words have deep meaning to me after 45 years of WC!

My sifu always tells me there's nothing good on youtube, so I have to show him this documentary. What an accurate representation of the kung fu philosophy!

Amen!

[@derekdeschillie5095]

I love this whenever my I tell my friends I am a practiconer of he martial art Wing Chun they always think I'm trying to be a big macho tough guy who can kick anyone's butt, but I do it for the philosophy and connection to myself and it really is an art and it helps me a lot. :)

[@lisar9425]

Thank you for sharing this. It was eye opening to see how deeply moving these simple principles can be, both practically and metaphorically. Form does follow function.

[@brad0692]

Just wanted to say that I thought this was a Great documentary, I have always loved Wing Chun, since the very first moment that I studied it, this documentary was not only enlightening but also gave us a sense of the true spirit of Wing Chun, thank you very much to the people that created this for us.

[@byrusmx]

This documentary is amazing. Thanks for sharing!

[@LIOMONK11]

My favourite Wing Chun documentary!! It expresses exactly what I believe this art is all about - simple and effective. Besides, and most important, we can input its principles into our lives and improve our everyday demands. Life can be very demanding, and Wing Chun is always there, showing us how to cope with it!

[@s13iLLuminati]

My dad learned Wing Chun when he was a teenager, he's in his 50's now and I'm 28. I can remember countless times he would teach me things without me even realizing I was learning anything. At times he would literally 'slap spar' with me using it and I picked up on it pretty well with his instruction. Now When I'm working out and sometimes sparing at the MMA gym I joined, I sometime find a moment to use it and it does come in handy. It certainly compliments my Boxing and Mauy Thai training.

[@jackortez4534]

where did your dad train and was he good with his wing chun and what did you learn from your father about wing chun i am just curious and did you ever do dynamic tension the 5th form

[@mdcruz]

Beautifully done! It was a pleasure watching this documentary- thanks!

[@original80053]

I have been practicing Wing Chun for 11 years now. It has come in handy a few times,example, when I was first starting to learn Chum Kui (about 2/3 months of practice) me and a bunch of friends were attacked by about 10 guys and without even thinking I used what I had learnt and dispatched every single person who tried to attack me. Its not only effective for fighting but also as it said in the documentary a good basis for everyday decisions. Practice Wing Chun properly and reap the benefits!

[@TheMaimi2007]

Master Liu is phenomenal! His teaching and wisdom of Wing Chun makes me eager to learn this special art more. Thank you for sharing such an insightful and beautifully created documentary!

R.I.P. Master Ip Man, who gave Wing Chun to the world. I love this video, This explain the technique of Wing Chun and the philosophy for every day life.

[@reyvictorilao645]

Perhaps those people who claim that wing chun is useless in MMA fights is correct, I agree. As you can't use a lot of wing chun techniques in MMA fights. A lot of wing chun and other kung fu styles would be useless in these scenario as I myself do practice wing chun and used to fight in MMA rings here in the Philippines. It's not the question if it's ineffective or not (of course it is). But it's totally useless in MMA as all of my attacks are deadly enough though I was disqualified because of it. Eye gouges, elbow techniques and attacks, neck chops and the like are deadliest aspects of wing chun that would make short work of any street fight but won't be allowed in the ring. Wing chun is powerful enough to destroy anyone in the ring if not for the rules. To those who despise wing chun, Why not ask the practitioners of JKD about wing chun or better yet why not try to fight someone who is using it. Please stop badmouthing the art. and stop making any hate speeches about it...

[@thegoldenqaseeda239]

I understand the deadliness of wing chun because i do a kung fu style deadlier but something can be deadly and yet not as effective at the same time because it was invented to fight people who could not fight.

[@reyvictorilao645]

Not really... and of course it depends, wing chun as per GM Ip Man's oral history was created for the purpose of Yim Wing Chun fighting an experience Fighter/ a Warlord. If you say that it is ineffective because it was intended to fight those people who could not or at least doesn't know how to fight then you're mistaken my friend. This is the same reason why Wing Chun was looked down by other kung fu styles as this was originally created for a girl's self defense against a master of kung fu not some random guy who can be easily beaten to a pulp

[@thegoldenqaseeda239]

The thing is it was invented in a time when people did not know how to box, boxing is so effective even Bruce Lee had to learn it and adopt it as his main attack and defence. Those people in the past could not box and thus arts invented to fight them lack the techniques to handle modern fighters like Boxers and kick boxers, also it Wing Chun was invented in isolation of other world martial arts unlike today in which one can learn any martial art including Wing chun and then conclude which is best, i agree wing chun still has a place but like most martial arts is limited unless mixed with modern boxing, kick boxing and grappling arts etc. Today i saw a UFC fight in which the fighter's arms were touching and entangled so a wing chun technique could have been very effective there but such entanglements are rare.

[@reyvictorilao645]

Like I said Wing Chun can yes be less or totally ineffective in the ring with MMA were there are rules. but then again I would disagree that wing chun is already limited as it cannot adopt to some modern arts like grappling and such.Wing Chun as it was said by GM Wong Sheun Leung adapts throughout the times that is why you have the Chi Sao (sticky hands) and Mok Dung (wooden dummy) with those two techniques you can still practice, train or even develop your own fighting style within the principles and tenets of wing chun. If you say that bruce lee adopted boxing as his stance and defence, then think again. Although Bruce adopted a lot of boxing techniques in his defense he still didn't use at his main, his stance yes it is boxing as it moves a lot but the footwork is already in wing chun as it was being taught in wing chun (see WIng Chun Science of in fighting) in defense yes again I agree that his fighting pose can be boxing but then again most of the time that he blocks punches and kicks are wing chun. In a martial arts match or even a fight where there are rules wing chun wont stand a chance (i.e. in UFC and other MMA competetion groin kicks, eye gouges throat chops and the like are illegal, while in judo or aikido matches punching ain't allowed or in TKD's throwing is not allowed as well as n boxing kicking) but remove those rules wing chun will emerge triumphant. like I said I used it a couple of times with MMA fighters and other martial artist. Before they disrespect the art as it wasn't effective at all, but when we fought they agreed with me that wing chun is totally ineffective if there are rules but is superb when no rules are to be followed. My friend I respect your opinion and I only aired my answer/ thought as one who practices wing chun. I don't want to fight or to brag as it would only make the situation worse. I hope you can get your point as I already got yours

[@timsevilla830]

The Golden Qaseeda yes, in the old times people don't know how to box. But still it's not designed for the ring it's designed for street fight situations. And boxing is pretty much used mostly in the ring.. But wing chun isn't designed for the ring so it'll be ineffective

This is what modern "fighters" dont understand.... they only understand the fight part.... martial arts is supposed to be taken as a whole mental spiritual physical... you cant seperate these attributes... but you get the usual youtube warriors claiming this way of breathing is better than this way of breathing... the end product is to live no matter what way you breathe through your mouth or through your nose

[@antwango]

@Artisan Wooooosh! the point is there is no SHIT martial arts! Nobody spends 1000s of years to create shit MA?! your not going to enroll into a class you dont like.... you get to pick the art! You get to pick the lesson that is right for you! You get to pick the tutor! How hard is it to understand?! You want to compare whos better? Mike Tyson, Ali, Mayweather, Connor Mac, Khabib? Do you understand these words? Do you understand dance? do you want to dance to my beat or your beat? All arts have a punch and a kick, now you figure it out! Lesson over!

[@Mhurilo10]

@Artisan if you practice martial arts and incorporate a 'shit martial art' say... No touch chi to test the absurdness of it... You can supposedly claim it helped you develop. I'd say it's a valid point but indeed a 1 year Thai striker is probably going to beat a 30 year wing chun practicioner. But not a 30 year martial artist who doesn't discriminate on styles

[@Mhurilo10]

@@antwango if the purpose is to live no matter what, I'd reccomend parkour classes, body language and non-violent communication. You can't hit what you can't catch and you won't go after a nice person to beat him up just because he was nice to you

[@luismgodinez]

This documentary is beautiful .

[@cokrowinoto]

Sometimes it is difficult to understand why there is so much animosity towards Wing Chun. Maybe because of its popularity, maybe because some Wing Chungers are simply over-egotistical about their arts to the extent of degrading other arts. In our school we always teach our students to respect other martial arts because we believe there is no single good or bad martial arts - only good or bad practitioners. Furthermore if someone really wants to harm you, they will, and they can, one way or another, disregarding your type of martial arts or grade. Each martial arts has its own objective or objectives and if your objective/s as a student or practitioner does not meet those objective/s then you should choose another arts - if it works for you keep it, if it doesn't then leave it. But always respect it.

[@MrDioXIII]

I agree 100% Especially that last part. There seems to be a lot of egos running around in regards to martial arts, both by outsiders to Wing Chun, and inside the organisation itself. I was reading a Wing Chun Book yesterday by Master Yip Chun (Yip Man's son), and he addresses this issue in an interview. Seems that there are too many people who claim to know "secret techniques", and show off, instead of improving the art. He also mentioned that when he invited known direct disciples of his father for a dinner/seminar, they mentioned that Mainstream Wing Chun now seems to have abandoned a lot of the teachings. Certain stepping movements are abandoned, and there is now an overemphasis on one technique/area of techniques. This can be seen with a lot of emphasis on rapid chain punching, and relatively little practice with Chi Sao. A lot of people who have trained with "Grandmaster" Leung Ting have noted a lack of skill in the basic Chi Sao and basic stepping, which is a problem. In the interview. Master Yip Chun stated that his father and he have something like 80-90% emphasis on Chi Sao, which does wonders for increasing reaction time, and thus helping "in fighting" Likewise, with the rise of combat sports, such as MMA, there has been an increase in ego amongst many, who claim that certain arts do not work. In contrast, I believe that there is nothing wrong with mixing martial arts, and there are some particularly deadly ones that have taken the best from each style (Krav Maga, Systema, PKT Kali and more), yet the attitude is wrong. Instead, the proper attitude should be something equivalent to Bruce Lee's, who found Wing Chun to be very effective in the tight quarters of Hong Kong, but not so effective in the open spaces prevalent in Los Angeles (I believe). Thus, the improved up the style, and borrowed from others, making JKD. He didn't think "My style is the greatest, and Karate/Boxing/Muay Thai ect is crap". He respected and embraced the techniques and concepts of each art, and added them to his arsenal. And when you, how can you go wrong? You can't!

[@dylanr.cerezo4325]

[@jimmyjamesWang]

Most Chinese of our generation are shallow posers. Chinese Kongfu as well as Chinese traditional technology, science and mathematics all has its foundations in Chinese philosophies. Ancient Chinese people are smart and capable because they are really educated, they are educated by the Classics. While today, we all chase the shallow exteriors and ignore the core of wisdom, that's why we don't have real Kongfu.

Some people disrespect the art but dont know how too use it. Some people respect the art because they understand it. A real art master piece is not made over night and is a lot of hard work and depends on "YOU" You are becoming art. Wing Chun is definetly effective in any street fight or Mix sport is just depends on you and how you practice Wing Chun some ppl may use it differently from others, but me I see it as an ability that will enhance your learning ability Absorbing ability And Expessing yourself once thou express thy self in a fighting matter Wing Chun will win. Ever wonder why you dont see Wing Chun in streets and posted on a video is because their is no Sport or TV or anything like that. It's because its an art that will not be taken into the media for "pleasure". it is more.

I can't understand why anyone would claim Wing Chun doesn't work in real life. It was already a popular and widely practiced martial art long before Ip Man even became popular. Comparing this to other martial arts is simply a waste of time. Most martial arts don't really teach you how to truly survive.

The skills you learn in any martial art is an extension of the actual fight in you if you have the smallest amount of doubt in you then nine times out of ten you will lose regardless of the style..I studied kung fu in late seventies and there was no grading system and all fighting was full contact with no pads or gloves also you were never taught to fight in controlled ring environments because there were no rules as most strikes and moves were to disable .

[@russellmanley5502]

That's great to day but if your not running 3 miles a day, push ups, dips, pullups and going to boxing gym doing 30 rounds of sparring good luck and most people forget why wrestling and boxing use weight classes. I'm sure your doing all that and not living in la la land.

[@laurencelance586]

Excellent. I can't remember how many decades ago I came across a small booklet on Wing Chun. What immediately struck was the similarities between the Okinawan kata of Seisan and the first kata of Wing Chun. Now in those days, long before there were computers and long long before there was an internet, there was almost no contact between the Okinawan culture and the West, and likewise no exchange of knowledge between Chinese schools and those of the West. But I knew there had to be a link between the Matsumura family of Okinawa and Wing Chun. It has taken nearly 50 years to find that link and the names of the people in history that proves the link. But at long long last I have, and there is something even more important; Wing Chun appears to contain much of the lost knowledge that the Okinawan masters knew but hid from the world.

I did many years of Tae Kwon Do but never knew much about Wing Chun until started seeing fight scenes on movies and videos. The first thing that I noticed and what surprised me is how close quarters the engagement is with the opponent. It seemed like a more 'in your face' attack/defense that I hadn't seen. I also of course noticed the lack of aerial kicking displays and really couldn't understand why and why it was so predominantly hand to hand based. In this video where it mentions the cornerstone of Wing Chun the 'centerline' it all made sense to me as to why.

Nobody seems to question why can a woman invent an entire idea of martial art out of the blue just because some bandit warlord wants to marry her. All great art has the backing of deep and philosophical theories, and these can only be attained by generations of people who willingly sought the solitude of research and meditation in poor and remote areas away from the material world. Just like scientific research.

Wing Chun learned the art from Ng Mui creator of Plum Blossom Kung Fu at the Shaolin Temple. Ng Mui name the fighting system after her student Wing Chun. This is one story.

[@derekowen4538]

Yim Wing Chun didn't invent the style. She was taught by Ng Mui. A Shaolin Nun. The original style was dirived from the Plum Blossom style and after seeing a fight between a snake and a crane the animal movement were added.

Lolwhat? Wing Chun can be traced back to the Red Boats which was an opera organization that housed "assasins" at the time to the Ching Dynasty. This is a fact. Yip Man's Wing Chun is only one of many different versions.

[@derekowen4538]

combattacticsgroup You are correct. My Sifu told me that there are hundreds of versions. Our is Chan

Sadly, the artists are pursued as often as the scientists.

[@TheSunIsMyDestroyer]

this is not brute force, you shouldn't involve this art with mindless violence

[@blonglor5114]

Awesome documentary! I like the philosophy of Wing Chun. Still training and striving to improve.

[@bradpack9340]

train loud, talk quiet.

I started with Wing Chun 6 years ago and i'm still amazed how many varations and how beautiful it actually is. It doesn't make me feel angry or doesn't need the force you need for other fighting styles. It's more about bein pacient with yourself learn the movements and the feelings while doin Chi Sao for example. None of the wing chun students say it is the best fighting style or whatever this is which is also important to me i mean a fighting style is just as good as the fighter anyway. This documentary is really good and on the point, if i ever need to explain it to someone in 34 mins. You can feel so much love for wing chun and you can feel the real spirit and idea behind Wing chun, not only that it is a style to strike your opponent it's also a way of living.

[@TheGreekoo]

Wing chun for Steet fighting.?? The truth is a bouncer thats been in dozens of fights that only knows a simple 1 2 combo is a much more efective street fighter than a person thats been pratising wing chun or mma for 10 years but thats never been in a real fight.

[@dennisgoe3537]

Not necessarily.

[@txmale5070]

Excellent documentary.

Wing Chun sucks so hard, Black Holes in outer space, pales in comparison to the sheer amount of the power of suck from wing chun.

[@brutuscassius1647]

You seem to know a lot about sucking. Indeed, one can tell from your comment that you, too, suck. But the question is: how hard? I'm willing to bet that you suck harder than you would at first let on. But you shouldn't be so modest. Embrace it. When someone sucks as hard as I think you suck, it's impossible to hide it for long anyhow.

[@TheScotchaholic]

***** Your reply belongs in same regions of suck as black holes and Wing Chun! LMAO! Nice try Lao Che!

[@jasonrutibager7542]

HAHAHAHAAH! TheScotchaholic i couldn't agree more.

[@albertechevarria4701]

***** you got a point there.

[@MrTzemisce]

when you say wing tsun suck than you also say white crane suck or monkey hand kung fu suck. Their so many high skilled wing Tsun fighter they would destroy you. Ever see a 110 kg guy do chain punches in a sandbag? 8 per second? but he´s also soft when he need to to get for his goal the throat. Wing tsun isn´t a sport or a art. Wing tsun is fighting for your life with 110 % when you need to. Wing tsun is kill in 1 second when you have to. You my frind have never trained wing tsun with a good sifu or you just a troll. go watch your mma or boxing or whatever but dont talk shit when you have no idea. wing tsun people are either disrespectful. And i also dont like hyper soft wing tsun like kernspecht wing tsun and my sifu isn´t member of ewto. When you have a problem with ewto talk shit about ewto. But dont talk shit about wing tsun. it´s a great system very eficient, with a good ratio between soft and hard.

Fantastic documentary - Family God Wing Chun are my centre. Wing Chun is not about fighting its about living. Everything us Wing Chun and Wing Chun can be seen in everything we do. Science, maths and nature - Wing Chun - when you understand this then you are ready to truly learn. Thankyou for the privilege of watching this.

[@Rasmus_Ai]

Thank you so much for this video :)

[@GonG108]

it is interesting i am a yoga teacher and the spine or the vertikal centre line is most important , we use to twist and stretch the spine in all directions , thereby we achieve plenty of goals one is to be able to sit in the lotus seat without pain and thereby be able to focus on your centre line your breath , wing tsun is like yoga in motion you achieve the same sensitivity when it comes to your body and its surrounding , the ability to watch your body work fluently and better without thinking - during a fight and let your body do its work independently , watching yourself like a yoga watches his breath only that you are a fighter and the moment of touch and its direction is everything , your breath is also involved you don´t strike while you breathe in , you could get hit ( you always open up attacking ) and as we all know it hurts , so these components anchor you into the present moment and intensifies it , up to what ever level you reach , fighting can be pure meditation , actually my Si Fu always closed his eyes , before they went up and then he used to kind of shake his body and got flexibel like rubber , no one ever came close to hitting him ( Si Fu Salih Avci ) . one day after a seminar we had a rest and it came to meditation he knew i was in my education program to become a yoga teacher , he only said smiling to me you know , we don´t talk about it and smiled ( we do it is what i would add , it was really like that and this was the way i loved it ). to build a fighting concept or system around your spine your centre axis as the basis is from the yoga standpoint the most brilliant thing you can do and the fact that you learn to act out of a reflex tops everything ( because you have still your mind in a meditation mode and are able to witness everything from let´s say above , this is pure meditation)

[@danpitruzzella9174]

This documentary is an informative and powerful window into the authentic beauty behind the art of Wing Chun. Thank you for this upload!:)

[@Geekman333]

Has anybody ever seen a negative comment containing profanity made by a Wing Chun practitioner ANYWHERE on the net trashing whatever style or sport other people do? No...me either. Proof again that Wing Chun cultivates character, spirit AND fighting ability rather than ego, cockiness and arrogance. To all my WC brothers and sisters...Train Hard, Live Long and Enjoy Peace.
