[@prashantsaraswat1209]

Dan Lok i like wing chun but after seeing so many wingchun guys get beat up i have lost my faith in this art i like JKD much more.

[@Atkrdu]

Would you please get into the mechanics of explosivenss? I understand there's more to it than just trying to go faster in your movements, but also in the path of movements & the manner you go about them. I even heard that it helps to practice thinking quicker!

[@tejasramramesh5663]

Your videos are very helpful. It also adds a new perspective and helps me practice wing chun in a better way. Thanks Dan!

[@wollanooo]

like the deconstruction of the pose, but lose the swearing

[@rigniton7889]

prashant saraswat Wing Chun isn't that bad honestly, it's a close range fighting style which is why it gets outmatched

[@Luciusg666]

Thanx for clarifying that the stand is not for fighting but to practice the technique.

[@radioactiveassassin5218]

2:28 I love this moment so much.

[@AgainstTheBladeOfHonour]

Whenever negativity tries to plague me, I watch a Dan Lok video.

[@thomasrios7752]

Dan lok is to me one of the best instructors I've seen so far, keep up the great work. What I like about him he tells you that you have to master the technique and it takes years to master these techniques and he break it down every little movement he shows you and he's real honest with you.

[@andrewpashley6767]

I enjoyed the video. I am 62 and I have just started two week's ago. Thank you

[@NoahLoftier]

Even if you started 80 years old you can still do it but it Will be much difficult.

[@dangrahman9242]

Are you expert now?😂

[@danyolooy]

Kudos, age is but a number. Much respect to you for always seeking to grow as an individual!

[@dylanmartens2282]

your videos been helping alote man, they have taught me so much. I have 10 years of experience in boxing/mma off and on. Wing chun and jeet kun do is incredible, it is a totally different concept. alote of people say it dont work but I can tell you when im sparring Ill throw a little bit of what ive learned in the mix and it totally throws an mma fighter off guard. It is how you use the techniques that make them effective. keep making the videos. Respect

[@BlueFang714]

It really helps that you have the MMA and boxing background to give you the competitive understanding too. The concepts are sound and found in many different arts, but the experience is always a must to make it work. If nothing else, maintaining event integrity in practice so you can see where you're failing at something. But glad to see someone that has opened up to more traditional systems and found some good out of them :)

[@Rockousley]

Peace to you, keep it up!

[@Ask-Jesus-for-the-Holy-Spirit]

Bruce Lee abandoned Wing Chun after the fight that lasted under 5 min against a tai chi master named Wong Jack Man. Modern JKD says let them have the lane they want to fight over and hit them from a indirect position. (AKA Change lanes and strike!) Fighting over lanes gets you killed in real life. That is the difference of conceptual JKD based on wing chun vs Modern JKD after the Wong Jack Man fight. After that fight Bruce knew he had to remove all the wing chun from JKD. That is when he went to fencing and bare knuckle boxing. Jack Dempsey showed bruce in letters why you want to use your dominant hand as the lead and that matched the fencing books Bruce was reading from his brother house. Brandon and Shannon Lee learned from Ted Wong (AKA Modern JKD) and not Dan Inosanto! (AKA Conceptual JKD) WHO you learn from and lineage is more important that the art is self.

[@coreyriley3858]

I agree with u. Couldn't say it better myself

[@hellsbells1151]

nice one. !!!

[@Jezisjepan4031]

No one says it quite like YOU! Fantastic teaching and never before was this stance explained to me.

[@daveyallen7525]

I've been wanting to learn Wing Chun for quite some time now and this guy has the best instructional videos I've looked at. I'm 52 years old and overweight; I'm not wanting to learn this to fight, but rather, as a way to try and get fit. And what better place to do that, than from the comfort of my own home. Thank you, Dan Lok for sharing your knowledge... 🙏🏼

[@sgttau977]

I'm in the same boat.

[@7243598830]

I'm turning 42 and started ving tsun it's never too late I absolutely fell in love with Kung fu

[@mokyan7]

I too am interested in more wing chun videos. I really like seeing the connections with JKD and applications and have been practicing blending them with my skills. What I have learned and felt, and internalized thus far is that your triangle stance builds rooting and structure so you can lower the center of gravity and learn stability in any direction. You also practice rotational energy and tension but also relaxation. Also it helps you to develop stability so regardless of what you do with the hands, arms, elbows, movements, etc. you don’t overcommit and you stay balanced. Plus the siu lim tau form trains centerline principles. In time your feet, calves, legs, etc are able to stay relaxed but rooted well, so you can move, pivot, explode, but quickly restore balance and stability for any strike, push, pull, etc..It is best to practice it barefoot or with totally flat shoes so you train your feet sensitivity too. I have never considered myself an ‘athlete ‘ over time, but since training wing chun I have much better balance, posture, power, reflexes, and peace. Stance and stepping may not seem “cool” but if you build it well, it supports everything else better. Then in chum kiu you start learning pivoting and stepping, and drilling your stance into the groung for power and stability. Then in biu gee there are explosive movements, more turning, recovering, two directional force, whole body synchronization, etc. I could go on and on... just thought of one more tip, another student would say at school, when you are losing your balance, just sink a bit more. That lowers the center of gravity a bit and will allow better power, stability, etc. Dan your channel keeps on bringing the good instructions, thank you.

[@Digzitify]

I'm happy you brought up how these stances does not work in today's society, but is meant as a reminder on how Wing Chun is supposed to be performed. I myself has practiced Wing Chun for years, but I still find myself developing new skills through being realistic that some things just wont work in a real fight situation. Standing in the Yee JI Kim Yeung Ma is a spiritual connection between you and the art.

[@1zanewhite]

I recall taking karate lessons at my local boys and girls club during my 6th and 7th grade. We learned a simiar stance and looking back on that time, while I believe our Sensei meant well, our classes felt like a game of telephone. Either way it was a good foundation for self-defense and discipline. I'll follow your teachings and practice along with the rest of the globe. Thank you, Sifu.

[@matthewwill8929]

Thank you Dan for taking the time to teach - to me Wing Chun is a sacred science and sharing is caring. My greatest respect and gratitude.

[@ben3318]

Absolutely the best video I’ve seen yet on this topic. I humbly bow sir, thank you

[@simonemazzoni9ono9oo44]

Hi Mr Dan, many thanks for your videos. I am 48 yo and i started wing chun 1 month ago. I do 2 sessions training per week but it is not enough for me.... I need more.. I need to do practice at home, by myself! Since one month i tried to find a good virtual trainer, good videos in youtube in order to improove my kung-fu skills. I have been watching many videos on youtube but i never found a good one. Fortunately and finally I found you Dan ... 💪i found your videos which i think they are the BEST. No way. The quality of teaching, the quality of explaining ARE TOP; many thanks Mr Dan. Symon (Switzerland).

[@EldritchCypher]

Thank you so much for not only being informative, but for communicating the concepts in a simple, engaging, and humorous way.

[@ProdigalSonAD70]

i love the way he swears but same time he makes valid points Great channel

[@Skooter68]

Thank you for the lessons your putting out there I'm learning the history of wing Chun and using the videos to learn basics the history of a crane and snake where fighting when a woman was running from the burning temple always been a fan of jkd and Bruce Lee thank you for the inspiration and sharing and explaining technique on tan sao wu sao trying to learn correctly how to do each one

[@gargoyleb]

52 years old and just now starting. Thanks for the humor, the history and the help.

[@rellllzzz2473]

Nice tidbit about the stance being a weighted vest.

[@GhostRider-mk5so]

This man has common sense, which many other wing chun trainers lacks.

[@murrielwatson6614]

During Covid I have found many opportunities to reinvent myself. At the age of 59 I am starting a journey of learning the art of Wing Chun. Some may say I am too old to learn this art, but I am confident I can. Your instructional videos are easy to understand and follow. Thank you for doing these.

[@stylaaatya]

You are never too old to learn anything :). Even until your last breath:).Keep going :)

[@pasquinilli]

You are looking buff Dan. You’re sheep squeezing stance description was very helpful! I’m going to go smack the wooden dummy with a better stance now. Thanks!

[@trevorkong1079]

Thank you for creating this new Wing Chun series Sifu Dan! I look forward to your upcoming episodes!

[@IvanFreelancer]

I like it when a businessman explains about martial arts... He explains it in practical ways & more combat ready... Thanks Sifu Dan...

[@timchipps6500]

Thank you for going in depth on the fundamentals and actually giving the history behind it! I’m just looking into wing chun now having done some research, I think it’s the art style I should be learning. Thank you again for your videos I will be watching them often!

[@killa46464]

I like this instruction thank you . And love the explanation about its origins and your funny comments . I have long term physical instability with my spine . I’m hoping that perhaps by watching and practising the moves I can gain balance and strength .

[@tonysobreira]

Nice, i hope this series keeps going and could give us a good understanding of wing chun, from the very basic, plus the history behind gets even more interesting to learn

[@chrissilcox6090]

It is great for watching your JKD videos that you also are giving us some of the Wing Chun basics as well. I enjoy all your videos and keep cranking them out.

[@alexanderobrienii8434]

You explain everything so masterfully. I am learning a great deal from you ,in JKD, and I love your business videos also. Love ya sir peace out for now .

[@jeromedocena1741]

Thank you Sifu Dan! new subscriber here from Philippines.

[@nmc7590]

I have not done WC in years. This video made me wake up. Can you suggest a teacher in the Boston USA area? Thanks

[@stylaaatya]

Got a lot out of this tutorial. Thank you :)

[@riunosk]

i love how simple dan broke it down to, it's really simple to understand how to execute the stance, but i'm not really sure why it takes years to master a stance like that

[@michaelmartin6150]

Somehow I got here and this positive charisma got me. i like the way of explanation, informative and clear. Thank you!

[@salahfarraj8829]

Thank you so much for your knowledge

[@dhanmanikjmt904]

So good master

[@zman4116]

Go over the three forms as well. There's a lot of misinformation about them and how they're used, especially Chum Kiu and Biu Jee, your interpretation would be worth noting, cheers 🍻

[@joeypereira1592]

Thanks Dan going to start martial arts this year….great video…Joe from Staten Island

[@sebastienvanner9018]

Hello Dan , I love and watch all your video and I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on "how to defend yourself against someone you don't want to hurt that much - JEET KUNE DO" It would be awesome I often get in that quind of situation ... Thanks you for all you do on this channel .!👌

[@ddDuncanson]

I am going to be 67 and wish to find a discipline to improve fitness, defense, and relieve stress. I have never seriously studied any Martial Arts. Am I too old?. The Wing Chung Art impresses me. More fluid and I believe I have noticed that being a body builder is necessary

[@The_Marlo]

you are never too old to do something ;)

[@shadabshaikh2764]

Thanks for the help Master . It's amazing and easy to understand the way you have described.

[@nickkosmas7954]

Thank you Dan !and for telling us the story of how this stance started!

[@asingletear624]

i find that standing this way makes it easier to kick because of the tension in my legs. thank you!

[@stellarobinson3789]

Love your videos Dan , technique done with great and easy to understand demonstration. Love it you Funny to . Hehe❤😀

[@bobbyrobbins4369]

I dont know how a suggestion for your videos popped up but im glad it did ive been a bruce lee fan since i was a kid and im 35 loved his movies,biography ive already subscribed to you man

[@preetam121]

Nice Video Sifu Dan . Its good to see new series of Wing Chun

[@paquitagallego6171]

Thanks greetings from Pereiratopteam colombia 🙏

[@BrianMcComas1978]

5:25 I like to say that Forms are the Alphabet of Wing Chun. The first form is teaching you the Alphabet. The 2nd form is teaching you how to use those words in a sentence. 3rd and 4th form are teaching you new ways to speak and how to spell. Speaking should be natural, we don't spell out every single word we say to someone. We let it flow off our tongue. Thus, how can you do talking hands (Fighting and sparring) if you do not know the ABC's of the language?

[@marwlan9854]

Thank you so much for not only being information,I'm found you now and bigining to practice Wing Chun,I'm just 52 y old but why not....:)

[@rileyzamora4429]

[@williamditto7289]

Ill start with this. I want to teach this and I have a perfect place to rent to be a gym dojo😁

[@AdrianRamirez-vm9ox]

Thanks

[@BlueFang714]

Added tip to make sure people preserve their knees. If you don't turn the leg right to achieve the stance, the knees when pinched are being pulled out of line with the rest of the leg making the stance weak and causing damage over time to your knee joints. Make sure you rotate from within the hip socket, so the knees are reangled inward, and when your weight relaxes downward the knees will catch you by pinching together. Makes you a lot more stable than if you just pinch the knees. This is ideally achieved when you rotate into the stance on your heel to point the toes inward but we all move a little differently and achieve the same appearance in different ways. This was a mistake I made for a long time and came to understand in time, so I'd just like to share the revelation with others in hopes that they can improve their own methods as well and prevent future health problems.

[@henrywong2123]

Can you please explain this more? Wish to make sure I understand this important point.

[@sivaprasadt8116]

Sir, wingchun is a softpower kungfu. I think through practising the siu lim tao only power can be generated in the wingchun punches and attacks. There is no other way.So please show the siu lim tao and explain each movement

[@anthonycross6392]

Thank you so much, its good when your told the meaning to why you do things.

[@vydangne8618]

First time I see a martial art's master squaring f*** f*** f*** while lecturing. I seriously laugh so hard 😂😂😂 Mr. Dan you are amazing! ❤

[@conorpatrick3487]

The weighted Wing Chun explosive stance......The explosive bridge for the power bench press .....The six points of contact.....Heels....Gluts....Shoulders.....Bow-backed to shorten the explosive press......Wing Chun Master!!......Master Boxer!!......Master Power-lifter!!......Master Wrestler!!........Drills before skills......And years of it........"We are what we do regularly, excellence is not an act, it's a habit".......Aristotle.......

It will take long time , but I started.

This is great. Thanks Dan!

[@SuperJose26]

谢谢! Thanks so much for sharing these videos Dan! Me too, I love Wing Chun and if you're going to elaborate about this System in the upcoming weeks I'll be very happy to see your videos.

Looking forward to more training. Thanks. Cheers

[@billcrossland1]

I am 69 I am from Hong Kong I now live in Melbourne Australia and would like to learn Wing Chun, thank you Dan for such a good description of the basic Wing Chun Stance, how do I practice it, by just standing in that position and self checking for weeks, or months or years? Where do I go from here? cheers Bill

[@davidbass3395]

All martial art are based on physics and geometry and I do believe that is why most people really like them.

[@angellb8]

Awesome

Awesome video.

I'm loving the videos, Wish to be your student

[@asapyami]

Sound like my football coach everytime he cuss

[@coreyriley3858]

I like this video great explanations and your a cool dude too.

[@renehenriksen1735]

I still don´t understand where that inward stance is practically useable. But if I have to use my imagination a little bit it looks similar to when someone´s head is between one´s legs and you squeeze his head or turn the knees inward to scrub his head.

[@jobitsamuel]

Simple explanation... Liked ++

[@Mazza666]

I love your fucking video. Great information

[@katbali6974]

Do you have any advice for a 40yr young person starting out with Wing Chun?
