I am certainly not disagreeing, if one is lucky enough to have a mook jong, use it.

Woah! How the moving image says a thousand words!Great (uncut!) clip and thanks for sharing.
You can see Ip Man actually struggling to remember what he is doing, and I even noticed him joke at the end of the Po Pye set which 90% of people still do in the same manner today. Actually, most guys tend to look very similar to Ip Man, which I find interesting as he definitely did not 'move like that' when he was younger (or so I'm told)
It's good to see and hear that most have put this 'level arms' thing behind us
Personally, I wouldn't put my money on anything in the Ip Man Tong being 'original' other than the bust of Ip Man! And I hear the upkeep of the place has gone downhill as the last footage I see the dummy was all mangled up where people had been cracking it one! Now there are signs everywhere warning people not to touch anything

I think he was simply feeling weak from his cancer.
What level arms?. . .It's good to see and hear that most have put this 'level arms' thing behind us

I understand that Phil.
Check out my own footage filmed when the Tong opened and you will see the 'real' Ip Man wooden man with it's arms set how I have mine. They must change it around daily

Yes indeed Sanjuro. But this footage has been around and available to anyone who visits Ip Man Tong in Foshan. It's projected in a loop inside the wooden dummy hall and it looks like this Youtube clip was filmed from there as that's the only place I remember seeing the uncut version...

That footage by the great man was taken only a few days before he died.
He was ill and feeble but you can still see the elements of the power that he had.
Ho Kam Ming was with him on the day that he died. When HKM went back to Macao from HK, Ip Ching called him to let him know that his father had died.

An experienced person can adjust to different wing chun dummies. True for Ip man.
However for best development- upper arms being on the same level follows some important wing chun principles particularly principles descended from Ip Man.
These principles include balanced development on both left and right sides of the body.
With proper development one can adjust and apply in different ways.

You guys!
Play with your wooden man how you like, believe what stories you like. Because I do, and I wouldn't expect any less from the elder generation
