Revolution? Seems more like opportunists looking to cash in on poorly trained chunners and poorly trained chunners looking for a magic formula. Buncha yahoos jealous of genuine yip man wing tsun looking to create a name for themselves and carve out a niche in the wing tsun world.Quote:

Very on point Bai Chi.
I doubt that Phil wants a couple minutes of his vast background being used to promote this.
Why don't vid's show the other half of force flow?
Revolution??Quote:

I have over 25 years experience in the art of wing chun, I wouldn't have travelled to San Jose to learn from Hendrik if I felt there was nothing there to learn. Phil Romero, Alan Orr, Dave mckinnon, Sergio Iadarola , Jim Roselando, Robert Chu, Delroi Flood and myself are all senior wing chun instructors. Please correct me if I am wrong, but didn't you visit Robert Chu to learn from him at one point? As a collective there is more than 100 years of wing chun experience are amongst us, clearly there is something to what Hendrik is sharing.
Not sure what you mean this??? perhaps you can explain what you are referring to. everything is on the video if you know what to look for, but of course there are others elements that are not visible on video which needs to be felt.Quote:

[QUOTE=stonecrusher69;1279245]thanks Brother! I forgot to mention that Sifu Michael Mcilwrath also went to san Jose to learn from Hendrik as well and he is a senior wing chun instructor in NYC as well with well over 30 years of wing chun experience.Quote:

The only thing to what Hendrik is sharing is opportunity for unknowns to become recognized and make some money by supporting those that are promoting this scam. If they truely had as much knowledge as you say they have, they would see right through this rubbish. The fact that they support it speaks volumes about their character and knowledge.
One question for you. If this is such a superior method, how come so many of you hang out on the message boards proding for info on various subjects related to wing tsun theory?

I thought this forum was supposed to have changed and act more like decent human being..I guess that was a impermanent gesture...Ok carry on acting like 5 year old children..
The real problem with 5 year old children is they can't subscribe to internet marketing sites so are not a potential source of revenue.... :eek:
Well, they do think potty humor is funny. I guess that also is a problem. :D

The forum had changed briefly with Hendrik making one of his departures.
The more mature way of putting it....Quote:

If the new revolution is about taking basic principles that virtually everyone does ( in almost every MA by the way) and putting a "new label" on it, then well done !!
Well tell hin to use a better choice of words. If he said, "here's how our guys train Hendricks way" then that's fine. I'm sure you would even get feedback, responses etcQuote:

Exactly, maybe these 30 year plus veterans needed it explained to them by hendrik. Wow......Quote:

If you use the word "revolution" with those clips as evidence, you invite derision.
All the clips are working with compliant partners. At least Navin and Alan Orr showed something resembling fighting against resistance, for which they deserve respect.
Phil Romero grabbed ponytail guy by the wrists and lifted him up or pushed him away. Someone lets me get those grips on him, he's getting arm dragged, snapped down or headbutted. Push him away and give up those grips? Never. Phil might be awesome at Wing Chun, but those clips give no evidence of that.
Jim Roselando showing that if the guy is all tense he's easy to push, less so if he's relaxed? How revelatory! Show an application against resistance.
Dave McKinnon gave me some sound tactics if someone grabs my arm or fist and starts pushing. Which happens all the time on the mean streets of Sydney. He may be great at WC, but that's not possible to determine from this clip.
Sergio did stuff to neutralise some sycophants' not-too-hard pushes which bear uncanny resemblance to stuff I saw on an old Russian MA VHS tape about 12 years ago. I was begging someone to haul off and punch him in his smug face or double leg him.
Frankly, this stuff looks like basic to intermediate level taiji. From what I've seen on the clips, a half decent judo guy with a bit of boxing defence would murder everyone on these vids except maybe Navin and Alan.
We seem to be getting further away from actual fighting against a resisting opponent and more towards demonstrations, stunts, magic tricks, and "concepts" only understood by the "true initiates" who have had direct contact with "Master Hendrik" ... whereas to those ingrates left in outer darkness they look inconsequential and mostly unrelated to Wing Chun's alleged original purpose ... fighting.
Do I sound aggressive? Yeah. I'm far beyond uncritical acceptance of this stuff from Hendrik Santo and disappointed that people expect me to continue to put up with calling this a "revolution" when it's suspiciously like a latter day version of the Emperor's New Clothes.
This is not the way for Wing Chun to reclaim relevance.

PS- sorry to hear about the hostage crisis and the sad results in Australia, Could have been worse.
I'm not quite sure what the common theme is either, though presumably if we make the pilgrimage to Santo HQ, we'll be given the secret handshake.Quote:

Most of Sydney would have been glued to TV screens last night watching events. The police acted with huge competence, patience and restraint.
If there is going to be a positive revolution in Wing Chun it's going to look more like this than any of those vids:

On - a different note related by religious fanaticism- over 120 people including school children were
killed in Peshawar Pakistan with a Taliban group claiming "credit".
"Ideology" & beliefs matter and there are degrees of intensity of beliefs While there is intensity
and conceptions of martyrdom in Shia- the jihadis are generally Sunni. Interesting that the terrorist in Sydney
was originally a Shia who converted to Sunni.
Spot on mate, to use a bit of your lingo :)Quote:

To be honest, i think he used religion as a veil to cover his lunacy. Murdered ex-wife (who was set alight), 40 sexual assault charges, abandoned his first wife & Children in Iran...... the man was just a scumbagQuote:

The Pakistani atrocity was indeed horrible. Children are innocent.
So what he used the word " Revolution" no reason to act childish. What you may think is in your own head.Quote:

It is a forum, you do know that?
As i said earlier, i think its all bit of a chuckle, and if you feel so sensitive about peoples opinions then don't read the responses
Calling it a revolution is childish. :)Quote:

I mean here we have a collection of videos that are from people that are unrelated, and the people in the videos I'm pretty sure aren't consenting to being connected to the other people in the videos.
So I would say yes a revolution has started. A video mashup revolution. Followed by a namecalling revolution. Oh wait. That's not a revolution around here.
Revolution baby !!
