    Apparently this was the guy that Jimmy was supposed to fight, but the producers said no. Which i can see why cause the guys a beast. As for who the people where in the final fight, they were both wearing t-shirts from Sifu Kong's school.

    I thought the sparring was very one dimensional, but then again, you've only got 5 days to teach them something. What else is there other chain punching, straight kicks, and an aggressive mentality in such a short period of time?

    That whole thing was terrible from start to finish.

    They had the aggression. They should have had stepping at angles, turning punches, sweeps, elbows and grabs (lop, and more importantly the fut neck grab). And somebody should have told them that chain punches are only good, useful and in line with wing chun principles for about the first three.
    its safe to say that I train some martial arts. Im not that good really, but most people really suck, so I feel ok about that - Sunfist

    Sometime blog on training esp in Japan

    That makes sense for Jimmy and Doug, but the guys they were matched against were described as "champions" of something or other, weren't they? It wasn't easy to tell who had been training for only 5 days.

    Is that show still on?

    I had made a thread about it when it was on regularly over a year ago and then they only came back with like two episodes after the first season ended.

    They are not going to give a man 5 days of training and expect him to fight a champion. The opponent was no more advanced in training than he was.

    Fairy tales... It's always easy to claim things from a safe distance and using staged
    videos...

    Who benefits from such a claim?

    Politics again... Welcome to the happy world of Wing Chun!

    I enjoyed the videos however not a very good representation of WCK at the end then again how much can you really pick up in 5 days which is why they had the physical and mechanical movements but no comprehension of the energy obviously as when the one guy was doing chi sau and he was like they are feeling my hands somehow. (though it took me a lot more than 5 days to really understand the energy) I think that should be learned before really showcasing wing chun however all and all it was a great video.

    Not exactly a great showcase for wing chun, but that is how most begining wing chun people fight. They should have picked more experienced fighters who were a better match in size and experience.
