Weng Chun is not Wing Chun.
Well I found it quite effective. It was a bit scary though, lots of potential for serious injuries when you have the arm lined up along the jic seen and then apply a technique into the opponents center along that line. Just a tiny bit of rotational and fa jing energy was enough to make my training partner wince.
Haha, I was more going for this one:

If we're talking clips an swords I like to keep it in reality

But we are talking about Wing Chun Pole so can you see any similarities?
This is very good stuff! :) Weng Chun rather than Wing Chun, as has been already stated, but I think most of us could learn a lot from this clip alone. I've found that Wing Chun's pole form varies quite a bit even within different Ip Man lineages. And the various versions of Ip Man's pole form use the square horse, cat stance, etc. So there are a lot of similarities. Unlike the previous comment, I don' find that the body mechanics used in Wing Chun pole and Weng Chun pole are really all that different. The body mechanics used in the empty hand phase are certainly different. But the pole not so much. If anything, Wing Chun pole is more like Weng Chun's empty hand mechanics that it is like Wing Chun's empty hand mechanics!
What are we to learn from this clip alone? How to copy things we do not know? lol!
It seems odd to me that this kind of old B&W clip is put in high regard even though it has very little, if anything, to do with the Wing Chun system (according to most) and yet a clip of my own Sigung practising his pole is slammed for being 'his own invention', and he was one of the first representatives of Ip Man in Europe alongside guys like Lok Yiu who was also known as 'King of the stick'!
Maybe I'm just a bit jealous of this Tang Yik lineage :o but the acceptance and praise for it just don't make sense to me at all considering...
I missed the clip of your Sigung's pole form. Could you post a link?
There isn't a 'full' set available anywhere online, only small scenes were included in a promotional DVD advert

Austin Goh demos have been out there for years and one of Joe Lees guys has put stuff out more recently, and both are a little different from eachother and from my own.
