The Martial Arts Show 2012 - Wing Chun Demo

[sanjuro_ronin]

As far as choreography goes, Its ok but nothing unlike the usual WC dance routines.
Seems like another typical, choreographed demo of WC.

It's an rehearsal after all ...what would be the feedback which you're looking for?

Yep that clip was, but this was the actual live Demo

That was all it was supposed to be Sanjuro. Core Wing Chun exercises presented in a very specific way. Methods rather than techniques.

My question to you is 'where have you seen a similar demo?' And if it is that typical, maybe you can name everything you see in Wing Chun terms for us all here? Or post a clip of a similar demo??

I won't comment on your 'dance' idea but thanks for your observations.

Don't take the "dance" thing in a negative way, all choreography is a "dance".
As for similare I mean what was being shown:
Compliant, choregraphed routines made to show what WC is about.
Pretty much every demo clip is like that.
Even the ones from Botezepe LOL !
You guys just kept your shirts on

No offence taken dude. But I will say that even dance has it's own language and without that your just raving

Well our shirts will always be on lol!!

Yes these are compliant routines because that's what interaction and the majority of Wing Chun is. But the final set where we pair up is a bit less choreorgraphed and we are applying a little more pressure than I see generally to see how the guys cope.

First day, first attack on one of the guys and he still has a damaged lip to this day!

It may surprise some but I have NO issues with demos being staged and choreographed.
That is what demos are.
My issues have always been when people post clips of what they think WC is "all about" and never show any fighting.

[LoneTiger108]

I can understand that but again I can see why the camera may not be there in the middle of a real fight!?

Any fight where one guy is trying to beat on another is a real fight.
I find videos of people fighting on the street as distasteful as you do.
We are fighters, not thugs or brawlers.
Our is an art of fighting and if we don't fight, what are we doing?

We are training so we never 'have to fight' lol!!

Man, you wanna watch more Mr Miyagi dude
