New TWC?

[Lee Chiang Po]

Looking at youtube and saw this new stuff:

Are the TWC sets changing? Advanced Biu Jee now? ASLT looks different, too.

Andrew? Phil? Victor?

Since there are about 16,000 different lineages and styles of wing chun I couldn't say if it was new or not. All I can say is that I feel that it is in really poor form. Like many people he seems to be just following a routine of movements without thinking about it much. Sil Lim is about gaining true form in each individual technique that is done within the form. You don't just stand and stare into space while your body follows learned routine like a dance or some such.

Wow... 16,000 different lineages! Care to recite 50? .

Nice one, but he learned from a Yank (Me) . . .

That Gwai Ma section is still somewhat different than what Rick Spain showed me.

[Ultimatewingchun]

Perhaps you can show us what you learned from Rick Spain ???

[chusauli]

I am not a good representative of Rick Spain. Rick Spain and his students could show you. Andrew probably could.

Perhaps I could ... if I knew what Gwai Ma meant

Obviously it means kneeling Kangaroo! You sure your from Australia?

I can't recite more than a couple, but in the last year or so I have seen an awesome number of different Wing Chun lineages. From just about every country in the world. Somebody will post a new utube video showing some obscure WC lineage every now and then. If you keep count you might exceed 16,000.

Gwai = kneeling. Mah = Horse

In my post I wrote . . . "demonstrates "one" version of the Gwai Mah . . . .

[Phil Redmond]

Gwai Ma is in the Australian version of TWC...

I’m presently rehearsing the role of Master Qu Yang of the Sun Moon Cult in the Wuxia play “Laughing in the Wind”

I studied acting years ago briefly from Stella Adler. Does my little bit of acting training make me an expert?
The same goes for a "little" knowledge of any particular branch of Wing Chun.

I do a pak/tseun to set up the first kneeling stance, and a bil/tseun to set up the second. I don't step back quite as far as Ryan Kennedy does while dropping to the "hood ornament stance", either.

This is a statement of differences, no criticism implied.

Kangaroos don't kneel ... but for that matter I don't think horses do either

[anerlich]

FWIW, I thought Ryan Kennedy's execution of bil jee was better than that of the European guy in the OP's vid ... Ryan made sure he got complete extension on every technique, the other guy seemed to be shortening techniques for the sake of speed, especially the kicks.

Feel free to argue or disagree.

[Ultimatewingchun]

Agree, Ryan's rendition was much better.
