Wing Chun knives video (Leo Au Yeung)

[thedreamer7]

Like Leo AY, Ip Chuns Knives are riddled with mistakes. They may look good to the untrained eye but for fighting.....completely wrong.

How can you make that assumption?
Can you show us a fighting example of the knife form?

Agree I also see wrong angles and actions.

Erm, because I can.

We learn the forms and surrounding drills for sparring. We learn the pole for sparring, We learn the knives for sparring. They all compliment each other and improve our Ving Tsun. Everything in Ving Tsun is directed towards sparring and ultimately if one ever has to use it to protect themselves.....real fighting.

We don't do fancy knives on river banks. This is only good for Kung Fu movies. If that was his intention then I hope to see him on TV soon

I’m not sure what this is all about, but it’s nothing wrong with what he’s doing (Leo Au Yeung).

Does anyone actually know who taught Ip Chun his knife form?

You gave your opinion and I responded to it. This is a forum after all. If you think that there is nothing wrong with Leos knives it means you are not aware of the problems inside or are you just complimenting him on his dramatic prowess?

I have no problem with what you said.

I thank you for your opinion; it’s your right to trash whomever; but no, that’s not it.

Look, you’ve really told on yourself on another thread (made it clear), so it makes no sense for me to fight with you.

Excellent! I prefer to learn a system that doesn't work in the movies.

The butterfly knives reflect your empty hand style so each person will be a little different. All southern styles, hung gar, choy li fut, pak mei etc have butterfly knife forms and techniques based on their styles fighting methods.

I honestly think that like the dummy and pole, the knives probably only consisted of drills and principles and not a standard form until ip man generation.

Sure your interested in anything non Philipp Bayer?

[Graham H]

Having experienced quite a few other lineages no I am not.

In fact had I not met PB I would have gone back to Boxing or something because Wing Chun is generally full of nonsense.


..........in my opinion.
