Having read excerpts of the book through Amazon, I must say that it definitely looks very interesting and like there was a lot of hard word and research put into it. I just may have to purchase the...
Seems more like a flashy demonstration than real drilling. I think the best example of this is with the long hook-like punches at 4:58. Those punches aren't even thrown at a real target. The guy...
Well, I've been slowly reading through the the Southern Kung Fu section here, and saw this thread on page 30 out of 212 and found it really interesting to the point I had to respond even though it's...

My sigong learned Bak Mei before Ving Tsun, and as a result, my sifu learned some Bak Mei and of that he taught me some as well. I always wondered about...
I wouldn't doubt it. Though as far as I understood, things like 5 Element theory and Yin Yang are applicable and within all CMA (at the least) whether they're mentioned or not by the Sifu (that's...
Like others mentioned, Tan, bong, and fook (and Wu, Huen, Etc) are not necessarily defensive techniques. The "8 methods/Baat Faat (sp?)" in general are more like "energies" rather than "attacks" or...
So my sifu is in this movie and this is the trailer, maybe some of you will enjoy it. I wonder if I'll be able to get my hands on a subbed copy at some point.
And for the love of God, let's us...
What would you say was the most impressive system/style you've sparred against (at any intensity)?
I suck at throws, and I still haven't had a good chance to learn them well yet, but I do have a bunch of takedowns that I use. Some of them may be considered Ving Tsun takedowns in their own right,...
I spar at least once a week with a few people who collectively train: Muay Thai, JKD+Silat+kali, Xing Yi+Bagua+Tai Chi. On a side note, I also cross train with these people, so I do have some level...
Ving Tsun is White Crane for fighting :p
I honestly think that almost any style is good to mix w/ with Ving Tsun, although I wont deny that they're not all the same for each person because, for certain people, mixing with certain...
I dont think Ali should be banned. He's overall a cool guy, though I dont always agree with what he says.
But at the same time, what Sanjuro Ronin said about Wing Chunners, at least on these...
Personally speaking, I've always been at least a bit interested in the whole "historical/dna analysis" that hendrik talks about, and I do think that it's possible that he's onto unveiling or...
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I dont remember Hendrick ever responding regarding how he knows his 2 older texts on Wing Chun Kuen are even as old as he claims.
Should I bust out a notepad and...
as GlennR asked, how do we know the documents are from the years you claim they are from? Have they been scientifically dated somehow? If not, there is good reason to doubt the authenticity of the...
I think there have been several names put forward for who "Leung Bik' might have been had the YM story not been true. Another example besides those mentioned in this thread is Chu Chong Man.
They...
good example. had to deal with this earlier this week with a training partner with a background in wrestling (but primarily a kung fu guy as well). At one point his front leg tried to sweep my front...
But being semi serious for a moment...
my sifu always said a few things about bong sao (take it how you want, for all i know, it could have just been advice to me for that specific moment in...
Indeed, bong sao is the result of a broken condom
Tan/Bong/Fook/etc are concepts taught through shapes and expressed in action.
Cheng Bagua is not at all my primary art, but I do cross train it, and while I'm still a beginner, my friend I train with has been pretty clear that his sifu taught him that the legs/feet should...
Tai Chi master would use "snake creeps down" and snatch that bill.
to be fair though, the forms are hardly the complete compilation of the techniques in the system, sometimes a move in the form is like a "root move" used later to train many "different" moves in...
I'm still very much in the earlier stages of the Luk Dim Poon Gwon, but one thing that my sifu taught as vital that I see in Tang Yiks video and not too many others is that the energy of each...
