Hello Fellow Wing Chunners-

I was wondering if anyone has seen / owns this video:

http://www.wle.com/media/VWT01.jpg
Authentic Wing Tsun Kung Fu Video - $39.95

Its description claims it contains footage of Yip Man performing Sil Lim Tao and the Wooden Dummy form.

Any reviews? Is the quality decent or too grainy to be any use? Does Yip Man perform the entire Sil Lim Tao or just parts? Also, is the dummy form complete with all the movements? Bottom line, is it worth the price (I am really only interested in the Yip Man portions. ;))

It seems a video with Grand Master Yip Man would be a helpful tool and a historial treasure. Thanks in advance for your input.

PS - Found the video here: Wing Lam Kung Fu (http://www.wle.com//products/vwt01.html)

Peace
:D

I thought this video was terrific, though the Yip Man parts are truncated.

Despite that, Leung Ting does a nice job demonstrating everything. He doesn't understand the philosophy of the hard styles, but he knows his Wing Chun very well.

I own this video, and it was worth every penny. Complement this video with Yip Man's "Wooden Dummy" book.

... check the thread titled Where to buy video/vcd of full Yip Man footage? (http://forum.kungfuonline.com/1/OpenTopic?a=tpc&s=126197291&f=769195302&m=9421918982)

Then purchase the video put out by steve lee swift.It has yip man performing the first 2 forms and the dummy.The video is from yip chun's super 8 movie that yip man made shortly before his death.

...for the helpful reviews. I'd hate to spend 40 bucks on something and have it turn out to be crap! I'll arrange something with Santa to get the hook up!

Peace!
