Great stuff. It's a real shame all other wing chun people do not practice wc internal. There all been had. Keep up the great work.and u also have a great attitude
Tony's ability is fantastic, every wing chun practitioner should look at this and ask themselves is this what they they are learning. It takes true devotion to reach this level.
+Sung Wing Chun - Chu Shong Tin lineage in the UK And he is able to explain it properly, in a way even a beginner can understand. You know that he KNOWS the system.
Man I miss Sifu, instructor Len Hollis and more of them. This was the greatest place to learn wing Chun/martial arts.
Excellent explanation, Tony! You certainly know your wing chun!
This Sifu is fantastic! True internal arts have the basic principles, the actual technique doesn't matter. This is pirnciple he is talking about and that's so kind of him....very rare to see real internal energy demonstrated here in youtube, this is one of the fews. :)
This is the first time I've ever seen the internal approach to wing chun, i've always learnt the external approach
What a wonderful insight! The explanation is almost identical to Taiji's relaxation and internal mechanism. I've always heard of positive comments about Sifu Jim Fung's school, this video testifies to the quality of his teaching & students.
Please keep posting =)
THIS IS BRILL THANK YOU FOR SHOWING THIS.... just starting out wow love this!!!
0:59 this is a really great example of spinal structure!
@HomasterX agreed - I'm really slowing down my Sil Lim Tao now & focusing on it. My punching drills have slowed down and relaxed and my chi sao has become quite 'floppy' but still has structure and focus. Strangely tho EVERYTHING I do has become at least twice as effective.. speed, power, footwork, structure, technique, response... Its amazing how thinking this way about your 'internal' structure really allows you to dominate the opponent as they try to overpower you. amazing videos! ant.
WOW AND WOW AND WOW! A really good explanation! I know some YiQuan, started a kind of Tai Chi recently which contains THE SAME principles. Style doesn't matter, it's the basics which does and I'd barely seen any better demonstration here in RUclips until now. I'm honestly grateful!
BRAVO! I'm moved by the explanation in this video. It cannot be more clear and educational. This is indeed the "seed" or "essence" of not just Wing Chun but LIFE in general.
Great video, thanks for sharing, Sifu.
Excellent video and very well explained. Thank you!
superb demonstration and explanation!!!
peace
Excellent explanation. Very technical. Thank you and I hope you post more videos!
Wing Chun is so important - this means one of the highest compliments you can receive as a student is - you may begin in Kung Fu first.
Great video Sifu!
Very informative and well taught many thanks!
that was a great lesson.very informative.
Yes, he does know what hes talking about, and he is extremely skilled :)
Unfortunately, the international wing chun academy is only located throughout Australia. Tony is an instructor in Adelaide. If you're keen about wing chun, I urge you to come visit. You're always welcome!
wow...that was awesome.
very interesting stuff :)
but it's still so hard to relax my shoulder while in training =/
This is extremely difficult to master especially in a fight scenario. However, if you can learn to do this, you will be well equipped to deal with attackers who are much larger and physically stronger than you.
Great clip!
nicely explained Tony...
great video
internal approach is amazing, this way I could conserve more energy than going blitz in external approach, starting to teach my WC students this concept
this is very true I use the same method for sparing with my brothers
@lightdark321 He's a student, when you see what the attacker feels you develope empathy for your attacker and try not to harm them. It's very good in learning any martial art.
so,sifu,it means if i can relax,and execute my stuff(wing chun),i percieve it as no power -but actually it has?thanks and thanks,please reply,
Is it possible to do this drills without partner at home?
@Scythehalotrial I think what he means is that you relax a part of your arm, although your muscles do contract and expand, it is the biceps that slow the speed of the punch. Similarly, if you look at the action of lifting weights, the biceps contract, whereas in a wing chun punch, correctly done, you will see that the biceps don't move at all or at least only a little bit
Absolutely.
great demo, I want to learn Wing Chun, but only in this way, do all classes teach it in this internal way?
Very Nice!
@Liberate006A i take it also and where and who is you sifu and what branch
This is a great Sifu. Everyone thinks nice of him. Whoever i talked to.
it took me about 2 years but depends entirely upon the skill and determination of the individual ! practice making perfect : )
He could have added that by relaxing, you are allowing your punch to be faster, as Biceps pull your hand while triceps extend your hand. Therefore, tensing your bicep while punching actually is like driving with the handbrake on.
Well explained
how do you make this effekt when you switch from one scene to another? it kinda washes out, is this with cs5?
i wonder if you have an associated school in prague, czech republic
Fantastic video very informative.Many thanks Colin.
Very worthwhile watching. Wing Chun is applied science. You can clearly see that the man knows what he is doing AND that he can explain it. So whoever has the chance shoild learn from him.
Pitty I live in europe. Does anyone lknow if a branch oft this school is set up in Slazburg Austria Euroe?
If so please inform me. I shure could not locvate any in the wild wild web.
Greetings

@djeternumba2 I imagine your technique has improved for you alot now but if you want to see some more... have a look at hgamer's youtube channel - he's got a brilliant set of videos on stance & punching. The punching one is particularly good - I've since slowed my punching down and focused on technique... punching the air doesn't do your joints any good if your doing it incorrectly. For drills I slow my punching down... then focus power punches on the wallbag :)
@Liberate006A
It is a good art, just not the only good art. There are lots of MA that apply the principles.
I noticed that in IP Man movies, but I am just wondering how such contrary things like Fight and Relaxation work together!
Well you need to relax the parts that are irrelevant. For example the bicep should be relaxed if extending the arm.
@DaeWixr Extremely hard to do!
@Scythehalotrial Relaxing your muscles does not mean your muscles do not work at all. If it was the case your body would fall down on the ground :D What he means by relaxing is not to tense your muscles at all. Let your muscles use only a little bit of "power" necessery to move your badypart. In fact, you can use your opponet's force to move your joins (ex. your arm) and your muscles only need to control the direction of your movement. Check out how tense you are now! :D
the whole time i watched this i kept punching and it just seems impossible for my muscles to not tense up..
move like water.
@TheBreg311
Not only that but you realise that what your instructor is teaching is real, not bullshit. I think any martial art where an instructor can clearly show how the method works, and explain it, is a very good art. There aren't many of them unfortunately
put ha suspencion behind the canoon o got it. ;u..!!
this vid was better the leung tings video
MADNESS!! WHAT SORCERY IS THIS??
is
6:01 ! inch punched that poor guy across the room >.>
i'm not too sure about this guy, i've never met a "good" sifu who has potentially injured his own student
is he enjoying hurting him lol
@Liberate006A All arts are scientifically viable. It's in the application and/or teaching of them that most of this is lost. Most teachers don't know their asses from their elbows when it comes to how their style works and in turn, it comes off as very unscientific.
pity the sparring partner, he looks like he's forced to do it, haha...anyway great video though
