Customer Reviews of Wing Chun: The Science of In-Fighting
Wong Sheung Leung proved Wing Chun If you don't recognize the man on the front cover, don't fret. He is Wong Sheung Leung, one of the best Wing Chun practitioners of the modern era. He along with a few others, proved Wing Chun on the rooftops of Hong Kong in the 1950s and 1960s. They are the reason that the Hong Kong police department adopted Wing Chun as its official fighting style up until recently (I heard they stopped using it because was to harsh).
This video shows you the basic moves of the first form (Siu Lam Tao), as well as some of the footwork from the second form (Chum Kiu). The one-inch punch is also included. I recommend this video over the videos of some of the others due to its authenticity.
Another plus: Wong Sheung Leung was Bruce Lee's main teacher. In fact, Bruce Lee used to stand in front of his house before class and lie to the other students, telling them that Wong was sick. This allowed Bruce to get private lessons. Upon learning of this, Wong gave Bruce a nice taste of Wing Chun in action.
May he rest in peace, and his legacy of excellence live on.
Great Fundmentals/Basics DVD
This DVD is a great introduction and fully covered the Sil Lum Tao form and basics of wing chun. I was fully able to learn the movements of Sil Lum Tao. I am just learning but I feel it demonstrated the art of wing chun in a simple and concise manner. This is a good reference tool in wing chun fundamentals for all beginning practitioners. It instructed well and piqued my interest. This DVD and Sil Lum Tao are both very utilitous and will be helpful in preparing one in finding and participating with a good wing chun instructor/club. In my opinion, if one wants to learn about Wing Chun, this DVD is an excellent resource. Well worth the purchase.
I had purchased two books that promised Sil Lum Tao. Wing Chun Kung Fu by Ip Chun had pictures for the entire form but it's difficult to learn from static pictures. I recommend this book as a good supplement to this DVD. The other book was not helpful except for the translation of Confucius' Art of Mean.
A review by a beginner in Wing Chun
Video quality is good considering the age of the original footage. English dubbing was OK, but I also expected the original Chinese to be available. Oh well ....
A pretty basic introduction to the main Wing Chun philosophy, centre line theory, gates, etc.
Good demonstration of the basic footwork and how to apply it. Brief run through of the first form: Sil Lim Tao and applications.
What I enjoyed the most was towards the end with the 2-man scenarios. Sifu Wong would demonstrate a technique taken from Sil Lim Tao which one of his students would counter, then the next scene would be his counter to the counter.
You won't be able to learn Wing Chun from this DVD, but it is a good overview of the Wing Chun philosophy and some very well filmed sequences. I'm sure I will dip into this periodically as my own Wing Chun training progresses.
Sifu Wong died in 1997 so there is no follow up video demonstrating the next form: Chum Kiu (Searching for the Bridge). A great shame.
