Wing Chun Sparring

[Vio]

The Duncan Leung site vids are really good I wish more schools would emphasis these alive drills and pressure tests.


The fact that Mr Leung is one of the old guard and yet he uses very current training methods (not just chi sau) is really impressive. Ive seen many of the wing chun sparring and fight videos, these training vids are really much more impressive.

There are mpgs you can download scroll down to the bottom of the page, in fact there are 12 pages of movie downloads.

Hello Vio,

While there are certainly 12 pages showing only a limited number are available for viewing. Most redirect to a page advising the file is not found on that server. The suggested solution seems to be to purchase the ones you can not download. Nothing wrong with that, I would have liked to see a wider variety to review though. This would help in making a decision about purchasing any.

Peace,

Dave

FWIW, I'd bet that there are lots of WCK schools that "spar" within the school -- just as there are lots of strip-mall karate studios where the students "spar". And, both camps will have trophies that they have won at "sparring tournaments" on display. Saying that you "spar" is like saying that you "lift weights" -- by itself that doesn't tell you much; we need to look to results. With weights, you determine results by how much you can lift (the result they're looking for is greater strength); with "sparring", you determine results by looking at the skill level of those you're sparring with (the result you are looking for is greater fighting skill). Poorly skilled karate students "sparring" among themselves or with other poorly skilled karate students at a tournament won't help them develop greater skills. Same for WCK students.

These are training clips, not really sparring. Its the aliveness and the full contact nature of the drills that impressed.

These days many Wing chun clubs dont even allow you smack each other in the face when you're doing chi sau.

A former training partner of mine trains there...
The philosopy is APLIED wing chun. They want to focus more on the aplication of the art rather than the theory and forms, thats not to say they ignore the later, but train what they learn to the fullest. Ive watched what they do and there is alot to learn from them and there drills are very intense! I like the circle drill that they do, reminds me of the circle drills i use to do during football practice...

Personally I like the way these guys drill, it's more of a sparring drill then a cooperative drill which is waay better in terms of developing skill in the area you're training, not to mention that some of their drills could easily progress to "sparring".
