Always a good display of real world application. people forget how real fighting takes place, I'm glad you are opening the true application of Wing Chun to the world. keep up the good work, always remember bong Sao is called a helping hand, not a block but a tool to transition.
The problem with some people is that they use bong sao repeatedly as a primary defense against a punch to the face. Thats stupid way of defending yourself. Youre gonna get your ass knocked out by a wild haymaker in a real street fight.
steeler3258 that's actually the easiest yet hardest to defend against. hardest cause if you slip up even a little bit, ur out, or gonna get some mean curs and bruises. easiest cause if u get off line your attackers center, then his momentum plus your strike to his face, equal great damage to his head. due to two forces. his charging and ur strike combined on his face. I've went against something similar before. when I messed up, I took a mean shot to my lip. but when i pulled off the block and dodge,with pak sao and footwork, I got such clean shots for a quick moment. someone who wants to hurt u badly, will charge at u and get in close to do as much damage as possible and as quickly as possible. they won't jab and move around and feel you out.
speed is a state of mind a knowledge of your nerves. how can you train to be the fastest? what can you do teach a student how to move to their full potential.
Greetings master Wong. Few weeks back I asked for a video on taiji Chen style . How to deal with an opponent when he strikes with his legs. And what if he has a strong grip, how to deal then. I hope u can make a video soon. Thank u for guidance. John
Cool... here we can see very good, that a Bong Sao is `only` a (short and fast) Part of the hole Movement. (in this Situation). Thank you... Greetings from Hamburg, Germany
Nice examples. Often pak sau or tan sau, even the man sau can be interceptors of straight punch, or actually they redirect it. Bong sau also redirects if attacker is closer or you are caught more unaware. I like your examples showing how footwork, body position, shifting makes it work. If you only try a straight bong sau into a straight punch it will slide right over it, striking you in the face, oof. That hip/body turn is the ticket. Love your vids and enthusiasm Master Wong. 🤜🤛
Right, it always depends on the footwork. If you do it like Master Wong does, going to the outside of the attacking arm, like I've been saying OVER AND OVER, it does work! You can see how he is out of range of the counter of his opponent. And he is able to follow him as he backs up, which, really is a big mistake on his part, because Master Wong just uses his forward intent to continue forward into the now open area caused by his backing up. And this allows Master Wong to finish the fight quickly, which, as we all know, is the first concept in wing chun, EFFICIENCY OF MOVEMENT AND TRYING TO END THE FIGHT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
Master Wong, As a 60-year old guy with arthritis, it is difficult for me to have as much movement as most people. I wonder if you could demonstrate techniques for guys in my condition. I am studying Thai Boxing now but cannot get the high kicks. I could probably tag an attacker in the nuts but that"s about as high as I can go. Thank you for the great videos.
robert Allen Translation in English: "I must confess to rather enjoying the gentlemans content. Furthermore, I believe steadfastly in the instructions given throughout."
Dear Master Wong i believe in You! i trust Youre Real And Genuine And Respect as long time fan. i have been working all my life to understand bong sao and now i am old and my life is over. i have seen it work in a direct typical traditional(?) no-footwork standing rooted WC pure-arm invisibly fast conversation exchange so i can only trust and estimate it must work but think it cant be used without sacrifice of equal time slots late to catch up and inevitably lose the flurry conversation. if i try to perform it myself i think bong sao is pointless/a lie and doesnt work in all these demos its stepping turning out of way that works to dodge/step past/deflect+/avoid a punch that works, only the other (slower, lower) twist and step movements create the 'bong sao' move. the actual bong arm is completely useless as a static-standing quick arm-convo mechanic only helps aim/tray/carry through opponents fist over your smooth forearm to your face/chin/throat. you cant somehow block with a weakest already-gone self-Paked lower-hinging forearm unless slower hugely overtaking with a circle-elbow round their forearm (KT3?) this turns the technique into Tai/Jujutsu/Aikido/boxing bob+weave/anything stepping and turning out of the way, but it is not essentially an arm technique? would not work standing static (without totally twisting? (losing your other arm in the convo, chasing the time loss they can overtake you at leisure)) for me. i dont know if its correct but i like to keep as many arms in order of priority because otherwise you lose backups (Paking, as attacker they have initial time luxury as defender you have luxury of higher order of defences, why lose the elbow if unnecessarily letting them have an elbow over you? to slide over/under yours to face or ribs as counterattack/bong your bong (is this a real thing? ive noticed in slightly longer conversation)) i saw your KT3 (?) elbow parry and think that at least works as a semi-useful arm technique. but same problem elbows are just too SLOW indirect inaccessible for me all this is very impractical in understanding. Lets Be Equal+Real A Bruce Lee Lightning-Jab (already hit your face/throat) does not equal to: _ PROCESS EQUAL TRAINING TIMESLOTS lift leg, move leg, plant, transfer shifting weight, lift leg, move leg, plant +any other accompanying motions to make it work _ without this video+any opponents aggressive fixed stance lunging +advertising space-stepping luxurious time given for foresight estimation preparation, without premeditated Loving Student+Master Relationship training+situation seen in other faker vids, and now teaching this to anyone OAPs and children to defend their lives as a usable technique- without that 3D shape elbow-cone taking the shifted direct central space between you acting as a (late+useless) backwards-catching border it does not work(?) i wish to Respectfully declutter useless techniques For My World Family. if we have to change Real life convo to always keeping forearms accessible+diagonal back/forestepping and reading the opponents movements before they happen, lets do that. the Pak is ingenius and beats this(?) my deduction is its the twist (+step)? the arm is just a somewhat slightly helpful border afterthought you dont really need in the same instant, not your real defensive priority, worse than Tan-Sao (which actually might have a use without being saved/only totally carried by other techniques+movements, only accentuated+amplified by them), esp. in JKD where beating them to the first punch is all this is a v dodgy movement all i can think is point your elbow instead of wrists deformedly highest to naturally overtake the horizontal central communication line from your sides. or hide behind it and cover your face smelling your own armpit. but this is supposed to be quicker+more mechanical without force than an a karate upper-block? anyone who can add to this convo on topic of how to make a bong sao arm actually work/do anything (more) useful at all is welcome to. (Please explain the 3D invisible shape youre creating, if you can/it is necessary!? maybe its something to do with how the arm lines cross. higher/lower+inner/outer, closer/further. if it doesnt even work can we all be clear the arm does almost/nothing the torso twist and leg stepping does basically everything? if you have to work this hard to MAKE an elbow technique work im not sure what to say. i am confused at the placements.) Houris+Lights All My Brothers.💙💗💖
Hi Sifu! Can you do a video for when someone keeps stepping back, feigning and trying to BREAK the gap, while you are trying to close the gap? also can you use one of your taller students so we can see how you deal with a taller guy while doing this? Thank you, sifu.
Stevie C. if someone is continuing to step back, then continue to move forward. This is an advantage for you because it is nearly impossible to put up any kind of offense when they are moving backwards. It also makes it very hard to defend because they are moving backwards. If you can time it so you can enter IN BETWEEN their movements, you can catch up with them. Since their energy is going BACKWARDS, not forward, that also makes it easier to break through their defenses and have your attack be more successful.
master, I have no place to train wing chun, so I built a dummy, watch your videos along with some others. can you give me any advice on training alone, how to sharpen my reflex and instinct. thank you for any knowledge you share with us.
Master wong love this new videos series!! , can wing chung defend form kicks? i know wing chung is very good to defend ciculares kicks or straight kicks but what we can do with a roundhouse kick ? maybe a 360 ° .. 540 ° typical of taekwondo? Thanks for all master wong!! you re the best!
+octavio sassone A roundhouse kick is a two-step process; First, the knee is raised and aimed at the target. Then, the knee becomes the hinge from which the shin is swung at the target, making it a circular attack. Like all circular attacks swinging at you from an outside gate, the Wing Chun principle is to STOP the attack from inside the circle, close to the opponent's torso. [The Wing Chun principle against a straight attack [jab or front-kick] is to DEFLECT the attack and move to the outside.] Think of it like this; if you swing a baseball bat at my head, the tip of the bat is the dangerous part, which is moving much faster and carrying much more energy than the handle of the bat, which is moving through a smaller circle, over a shorter distance. So I move forward, into you, and stop the bat with say, bill-sao, or larp-sao and pak-sao, close to the handle, before it can pick up speed and become dangerous. Likewise, if you are swinging your shin at me in a circular roundhouse kick, I take a half-step forward toward you, and use gum-sao or garn-sao to block at your knee. If possible, I raise my own knee to strike the underside of your leg while simultaneously pushing it back and down with gum-sao, trapping your leg between the hammer and the anvil. [Lin sil dai dao, simultaneous attack and defence] By moving forward, inside the arc of your circular kick, I avoid the dangerous fast-moving shin at the end of the arc, and need relatively little force to stop your kick at the knee or inside thigh. Having bridged the gap by moving forward into your attack, I am now in range to deliver a chain-punch or palm-strikes. Or I can take another half-step forward while delivering a knee or elbow-strike, closing to trapping range. Like all WIng Chun scenarios, the specific technique you use is less important than understanding the basic PRINCIPLE of "DEFLECT a straight attack and move sideways out of it's path, STOP a circular attack by moving forward and blocking at the hinge-point". The only real difference between a straight roundhouse, a spinning back-kick, or a 540 degree ballerina twirl, is how long you choose to stand there watching it happen, before stepping forward inside the arc and stopping it close to their torso, where the leverage and velocity is minimal. PS - any kick aimed higher than the opponent's knee is a really good way to find yourself hopping around on one foot while your opponent holds your leg against their hip and beats the shit out of you. Fancy spinning kicks look cool, and they may even work in the dojo, but in a crowded bar, a hallway, or the average furniture-filled living room at a house party [also full of drunk bystanders] it is unlikely you will have any room to perform your super awesome ballerina spin-kicks.
Daniel Stephens-Hunt Right Daniel! You always enter in on a kick, roundhouse or otherwise, on an angle to the opposite side of the kick. You move in the direction it is going. For example if it is going left to right, you would move to your left, his right, and enter in on an angle. Because a kick needs a wide angle to produce power, you would be, in essence, depriving him of his ability to produce that power. There, you could either catch the leg, attack the supporting leg, throw him down, or just enter in and pummel him with your fists. You seem like a very intelligent person who knows what he is talking about. You are right, high kicks RARELY work against real opponents, only beginners. You will either wind up with a broken knee, or on your ass getting pummelled.
+mightymeatmonsta Thank you, but I can't take the credit, that belongs to my sifu. I had a sifu who explained WHY we do things a certain way, and made sure we understand the principles and physics behind every technique, just as his sifu taught him. I have studied sakura kan jiu jitsu and seido karate as well as wing chun I found karate to be rubbish, absolute rubbish. Then I sat in on a black-belt-only class, and was taken aback at how similar the "advanced" techniques were to those I had learned in my first year of wing chun. "Why", I wondered, "Would you force students to endure several years of clumsy robotic blocking and screaming, before teaching them the more efficient movements"?? I found sakura kan jiu jitsu to be brutally effective. As the open-hand system used by desperate samurai who found themselves unhorsed, without a weapon, in the midst of a battle, it had to be. It was based on a basic premise of, "kill the other guy in three seconds and take his weapon". However, each lesson was taught as a highly specialized combat application; if your opponent does A, respond with B. If he does A,B,C, respond with D, E, F. There was never any feeling of being taught, nor understanding, a larger principle guiding the selection and application of various techniques in various scenarios. Having already had a wing chun background, I was able to guess and/or interpret the principles behind the techniques, most of the time. But for the most part, each technique taught stood alone, with no guiding principle to link them. As Bruce Lee said in the Tao of Gung Fu; pearls without a string. This is why I always come back to wing chun. It may look complex, but once understood is actually very simple. There are many, many possible combinations of strikes and blocks, but there are really only a few basic principles to be understood, a core of basic bocks and strikes to be understood, and you're good to go. Everything after that is simply refinement and practice. I think this is why boxers and wing chun students are so dangerous; it is better to have only a few tools and master them, than to have a bewildering array of complex tools and no idea how to use them in the real world.
Daniel Stephens-Hunt good answer you sound like a very good master! thanks for your answer, i practice sipalki is like karate and wing chung with dirty techniques
+octavio sassone I am most definitely NOT a Sifu/Master. I passed gradings for my first four levels, and was training for my fifth when work commitments required me to move to another town. One of the beauties of wing chun is that you do not have to be a Sifu with decades of experience to understand the principles of the system, and their practical application in a variety of situations.
master Wong I have a question today I wanted to test out my wing chun but the guy I was practicing with was fast with his punching he kept coming with fast jabs and fast hooks and I wasn't able to get a grab on him to finish him off. how should I Train to get quick enough to match his speed. when I watch your videos it only explained how to stop a certain attack, what if they opponent come at you with rapid jabbing and non stop hook punch and wide kicks?
i've learned that when you get a straigtpunch, you have to block it outside-inside and give the punch in 1 move straigt to the chin or neck with a fist or with your handpalm (because hurts less on hand) so you opponent is in1moveKO. So the block and the puch is one single move. your foot work is very important too and your offcourse the backhand. but with this single move the fight will take max 2 seconds and its done.but your things a very very powerfull aswell, no offense
+stefan de deugd í did wing chun for a short time its not that i'am very good in it but it's very effective and usefull when you have too decide and respond very fast even for a beginner. the firstpunch is probably enough
Well you don't always have to block it outside but yes you're right it is best to otherwise you're walking right into your opponent's punch. Like you said foot work is always important and personally I think it should be the first thing taught unfortunately in many schools it's not. A block and punch in one single movement is good to learn for improving speed, however how many people even manage to block a punch in a real situation whether a trained fighter or not? not many if any. Of all the actual fights I have been to I have never once needed to block a punch unless it was a hook ,the rest of the time I just simply moved out of the way in a circular motion and would aim for knock out damaging a guy's face with elbow strikes. I also like to damage both legs using shin kicks, knees to groin or head. Sometimes depending on position I am put in I will use open hand strikes,or open hand to grab,throw,poke in eyes.
Master Wong. Have you ever considered, or will you hold classes/ seminar in the United States, Colorado? I have been taking Gung Fu ( Northern Mantis Fist Boxing) For about 4 months now and wold like so further insight / directions. It just seems like there is 50 different ways to do or achieve the same things?
Want to go back to martial arts, but no time; used to do Judo, but you can't really practise Judo by self. You can however pratice Wing Chung by self, to a degree.
Hey there! 🥋 If you're itching to get back into martial arts but struggling with time ⌛, I feel you! Judo is awesome, but practicing solo can be a bit tricky. 🤷♂️ However, the good news is you can definitely practice Wing Chun by yourself, to a certain extent! 🙌 It's a great way to sharpen your skills and stay connected to the art. 💪 So why not give it a go?

You are using the bone side, and part of the forearm muscle to deflect the low shot and the palm or side of the palm to deflect the high or mid range shot. Don't forget to use this in conjunction with a body rotation towards the kick (using a 45 degree angle to square yourself to your opponent) and/or strike, with an angled step in to close the distance. This allows you to see any other strike coming from the far side in your peripheral vision and allow you to stop it.
Sure. That's the good thing about wing chun. There are many different ways to stop a lower attack. If the attack is around mid range, you can use a bong sau, with a body rotation and an angled step in. But it works better with a kwan sao because BOTH levels are protected, in case the first kick is just a decoy to get you to lower your hands, then he tries a kick to the higher sections of the body like the upper body or head. If you use a bong sau, you might not be able to get an arm up to defend. A bong sau is better for mid to upper body protection because you have both hands in the center, allowing you to use the man sau or asking hand if the technique fails for some reason or he does another technique. It's all about what is comfortable for YOU! You have to try it against various kicks and see what is most effective for you to use. Everyone is different, and uses different techniques. What might be right for you, might not be right for someone else. Again, because of wing chun's flexibility, this all becomes possible.
Eric Grays There are three ways. You can use your foot, with a body rotation , or you can use your knee, by coming across your body at a 45 degree angle, which will, if you hit him properly, HURT LIKE HELL since you are hitting him in the ankle or side of the shin, by the small muscles along the side of the shin. then, using an circular step to the outside, you can close the distance. Or you can use a gum sao, or kwoon sau (that is a low bong sau and a pak sao, which protects not only the lower area, but any attacks to the mid and upper area also) with a body rotation and an angled step.
wow! i used a similar move on a muay Thai guys punch when i was younger. im so shocked that its wing chun. i thought i invented a move : / lol. although i did discover the move mid fight in real life
anyone reading... it works super well. you can also throw it like a muay Thai elbow and it knocks them off balance if they are charging street fight style
deepali khanna Use pak sao, tan sao, bong sao or even bil sao from wing chun, with an angled step in to the outside of the attacking arm. This will put you out of reach of his counter and in a great position to counter yourself. It will also close the distance to close combat range. If you are not close enough (two feet or less, depending on your arm length), then you need to either wait for another contact to be made, or you need to take another step in to get the proper distance. This is done through PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE! Make sure you put your leg next to his, dropping the back knee 2 inches, which will give you forward intent, locking his leg in place. Try to make sure that your steps are the same, so you never lose balance. Also, you don't have to RUN in, like in JKD. If you can walk quickly, keeping your balance intact, then you will never lose your balance, which will destroy your structure, also destroying your techniques and the ability to produce power. This is how it is done in traditional wing chun and works very well, especially against boxers.
+Eric Arroyo Agreed. Use larp-sao or jut-sao from the inside of the opponent's hook, on your central line, with simultaneous straight punch or palm-strike on your centre line from the other hand. If you get caught out by a feint and find a hook coming at you from the other side as you are bringing up bong-sao, turn your wu-sao hand over to form tan-sao. This turns bong-sao into quan-sao [simultaneous bong and tan], which is not ideal as a cross-body block, but will usually suffice to block a hook and allow for a quick larp-sao [lop-sao] trap and counter.
+Eric Arroyo I got the crap beaten out of me by some gang members a few years ago. The first guy tried to have a go at me inside, which ended badly for him, and I went to make a timely exit and leave the house party. The second guy came at me in the driveway as I rounded the corner of the house. One of those motion-sensor floodlights was mounted on the eave of the garage behind him. It dazzled me and I could only see him as a silhouette. The right shoulder of the silhouette twitched [I was unable to make out the elbow and monitor it] and he appeared to be throwing a big wide telegraphed right hook. I stepped forward and out on an angle, raising a left bill-sao with right hand wu-sao at the bicep. Turned out, he was actually throwing an overhand straight right, one of those roll-the-shoulder straight boxing punches. It sailed through on the inside of my bill-sao and landed dead centre, breaking my nose. All I could see was stars and pinwheels of light. I took a full step back and switched guards, and my rear foot vanished into a fucking hole a dog had dug in the grass. I went over backwards, slapped the ground in a breakfall and absorbed most of the impact, but my fucking head landed on a decorative rock. I was on the verge of blacking out, and couldn't see shit. The guy landed on my chest on his knees, and proceeded to rain punch after punch onto my face. He got six or seven punches through, because I couldn't see a goddamn thing - my eyes were full of blood and my head was spinning - and rather than cover my face with my forearms and ride it out, I was attempting blind pak-saos and bong-saos in an effort to make contact and use touch sensitivity/chi sao to trap and counter attack. I gave up on that, brought my knee up to my chest and aimed a blind kick, which caught him in the chest and allowed me to lever him off me onto his ass, where he scrabbles away from me on his ass with his hands and heels. I rolled to my feet, set my stance as I brought up my guard, and used my rear hand to quickly wipe some of the blood out of my eyes. That was when I realized there were four of them, and some of the hooks I had taken to the side of my head while on my back and blind, had actually been cheap-shot kicks from his mates. I didn't know it until later, but the dude was wearing a knuckle-duster with nasty hooked blades on it, like shark's teeth, and my face looked like a badly stitched-together Frankenstein by that point. The fact I bounced to my feet, raised a guard and advanced on them turned them from bully to coward pretty quickly, and two of the immediately decided they didn't want anything to do with this. Long story short, I was able to crush one guy's throat with bong-sao, larp-sao, fut-sao and followed it with a cross-body elbow strike to the jaw that made him glassy eyed, and I managed to catch Mr brass-knuckles asshole with pak, larp, and a forearm to the elbow that either fractured it or caused an olicranin bursitis [however you spell it], the popping of the sac of fluid that lubricates the elbow joint. That allowed me a chance to leap and roll over a fence and escape through backyards, until I'd found a safe place to call police from my cellphone. The moral of the story is, it all fell apart and turned to shit when that first overhand roll-the-shoulder straight punch slipped inside my bill-sao. The shoulder movement looked like a hook was coming. I mean, the bill-sao I threw up was kind of lazy, arrogant even, I remember thinking, "Oh Christ, why don't you send me a telegram stating your intentions, this is going to be soooo easy". Because the bill-sao started from my shoulder and stretched forward and out, there was always a giant hole there for the overhand right to sail through unimpeded. If I had been moving my lead hand from a centerline guard position to a larp/lop-sau or jut-sao, it probably would have intercepted the incoming punch by accident as it came through. Since that night, I have been a bit wary of relying on bill-sao. Food for thought.
Daniel Stephens-Hunt wow that was quite a story, glad you made it out. You typed a detailed description. It makes sense if you had done the left arm as man sau or that jut sau from center it may have intercepted. But you couldn’t see details and the light was in your face. I remember in Musashi’s book of 5 rings he recommended fighting with light or the sun at your back, like your attacker did (accidentally) No more house parties at places with holes in the yard or angry gang bangers. Good to keep in mind to be calm and never overconfident, as you discussed. In the past I thought tan sau could be used for hooks, but after taking Krav classes and seeing their hook block, essentially a blend of biu and side jut sau, I like it much better. It withstands more power and makes a quick transition to grab and strikes.
Don’t think it would prove anything, even if Master Wong was to get in the UFC and mop the floor of every fighter easily, you can bet people will still talk shit that “it’s not Wing chun it’s It’s the practioner Master Wong’s use of wing chun” they’ll still say wing chun is weak MMA and UFC and Brazil Gracie jiu jitsu isn’t practical for the street to be honest, they train for a mat/cage with rules and time, i respect them for their training methods, but again it’s isnt good enough for real life situations, there’s a reason why Bruce Lee always did sil lum Tao the first form of wing chun daily at least 3 and as many as 50 sets with tension, that’s holding tension breathing for 3 mins a piece times 50 sets you do the math, sure he dabbled and picked stuff he liked from other arts, but to claim Bruce is the father or founder of UFC MMA is and a disservice to his name Bruce was about expanding and going beyond rings and cages with rules, and make no mistake he was dead serious like Master Wong when it came to surviving someone wanted to hurt you on the street
No offence to "master" Wong, but if you wanted to learn wing chun, you would search locally for a qualified master. The spirit, mindset, and concepts behind all the wing chun principles are completely ignored in his videos. Picking up a book from sigung Chu Shong Tin (yip man lineage) or any deciple of any real wing chun lineage, or at best having an actual sifu that has been taught by one, will prove what I say.The Kung fu you will then learn, holds its true value, and the fighting style will be based on its actual foundations, not some maladroit misinterpretation..
+Theo Pitzini I hear you and understand what you're trying to say But master Wong teaches his students a form of wing chun which is easier to be used in a real life situation. His students are interested in becoming good fighters fastly I believe. I could say his wing chun is a hard wing chun but I still think he's a wonderful master. Thanks for sharing your vision of Wing Chun with us master Wong
I saddens me people think it's ching ching ... It's not. And in real life his technics would not work, picture the scenario: a heavyweight boxer, an mma fighter , or just some big angry guy (small angry guy too), do you think that tip tap crap would work ?

Always a good display of real world application. people forget how real fighting takes place, I'm glad you are opening the true application of Wing Chun to the world. keep up the good work, always remember bong Sao is called a helping hand, not a block but a tool to transition.
"Too many arseholes out there bullshitting you too much."
Never a truer word spoken.

HAHAHAAHAH
What boxer?
I would like to see more vedioes.. Thank u master..
The problem with some people is that they use bong sao repeatedly as a primary defense against a punch to the face. Thats stupid way of defending yourself. Youre gonna get your ass knocked out by a wild haymaker in a real street fight.
👊👊💪keep doing
@@masterwong101 Hahaha
Simple and straight forward. Thanks Master Wong
Master Wong your teaching is really helpful, thank you so much.
Great video master . Congratulations !
Can you do a footwork video Master Wong?
This is my favorite assistant.
Excellent teaching wong sifu.
Sir like the way you teach to counter boxing
Thanks for showing some of that footwork. Liked it and Pinned it, and I already subscribed.
Thanks a lot Sifu Wong :) another lesson learned! Take care yourself Master :)
Master Wong. Love ya videos. Keep it up.
Master Wong, what's the best defense for someone who wildly charges you? Thanks
steeler3258 that's actually the easiest yet hardest to defend against.
hardest cause if you slip up even a little bit, ur out, or gonna get some mean curs and bruises.
easiest cause if u get off line your attackers center, then his momentum plus your strike to his face, equal great damage to his head.
due to two forces.
his charging and ur strike combined on his face.
I've went against something similar before.
when I messed up, I took a mean shot to my lip.
but when i pulled off the block and dodge,with pak sao and footwork, I got such clean shots for a quick moment.
someone who wants to hurt u badly, will charge at u and get in close to do as much damage as possible and as quickly as possible.
they won't jab and move around and feel you out.
ishimaru masato thx now the blind kid has no chance
Front kick to a knee, chest or head.
speed is a state of mind a knowledge of your nerves. how can you train to be the fastest? what can you do teach a student how to move to their full potential.
Greetings master Wong.
Few weeks back I asked for a video on taiji Chen style . How to deal with an opponent when he strikes with his legs. And what if he has a strong grip, how to deal then. I hope u can make a video soon.
Thank u for guidance.
John
Love lessons the enjoyment is endless.
Bong sao is similar to the L guard in boxing and it works. You have to combine it with great footwork as the extended hand leaves your body exposed.
Yes good defense and replic Master WONG i like it
Cool... here we can see very good, that a Bong Sao is `only` a (short and fast) Part of the hole Movement. (in this Situation). Thank you... Greetings from Hamburg, Germany
Another good video
Nice examples. Often pak sau or tan sau, even the man sau can be interceptors of straight punch, or actually they redirect it.
Bong sau also redirects if attacker is closer or you are caught more unaware. I like your examples showing how footwork, body position, shifting makes it work. If you only try a straight bong sau into a straight punch it will slide right over it, striking you in the face, oof. That hip/body turn is the ticket.
Love your vids and enthusiasm Master Wong. 🤜🤛
Right, it always depends on the footwork. If you do it like Master Wong does, going to the outside of the attacking arm, like I've been saying OVER AND OVER, it does work! You can see how he is out of range of the counter of his opponent. And he is able to follow him as he backs up, which, really is a big mistake on his part, because Master Wong just uses his forward intent to continue forward into the now open area caused by his backing up. And this allows Master Wong to finish the fight quickly, which, as we all know, is the first concept in wing chun, EFFICIENCY OF MOVEMENT AND TRYING TO END THE FIGHT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
i would love to train n learn about wing chun...
thenk you master wong!
can you show video on defending straight punch step back
This guy is awesome
You are very good iay like you
i subscribed master. cos i no want my head chopped off !
All Hail Master Wong!!
Master Wong, As a 60-year old guy with arthritis, it is difficult for me to have as much movement as most people. I wonder if you could demonstrate techniques for guys in my condition. I am studying Thai Boxing now but cannot get the high kicks. I could probably tag an attacker in the nuts but that"s about as high as I can go. Thank you for the great videos.
tai chi is the way to go
man ting's mad...di man just real nd talk di tings as they should...big up sir wing chun...your tips them sell off...up like 7.

bong sao is my favourite defending technic ever)
You're videos are awesome! you've really gotten me interested in wing chun. Just out of curiosity, how tall are you and your assistant?
+hughmorox your*
Dear Master Wong i believe in You!
i trust Youre Real And Genuine And Respect as long time fan.
i have been working all my life to understand bong sao and now i am old and my life is over. i have seen it work in a direct typical traditional(?) no-footwork standing rooted WC pure-arm invisibly fast conversation exchange so i can only trust and estimate it must work but think it cant be used without sacrifice of equal time slots late to catch up and inevitably lose the flurry conversation.
if i try to perform it myself i think bong sao is pointless/a lie and doesnt work in all these demos its stepping turning out of way that works to dodge/step past/deflect+/avoid a punch that works, only the other (slower, lower) twist and step movements create the 'bong sao' move. the actual bong arm is completely useless as a static-standing quick arm-convo mechanic only helps aim/tray/carry through opponents fist over your smooth forearm to your face/chin/throat. you cant somehow block with a weakest already-gone self-Paked lower-hinging forearm unless slower hugely overtaking with a circle-elbow round their forearm (KT3?)
this turns the technique into Tai/Jujutsu/Aikido/boxing bob+weave/anything stepping and turning out of the way, but it is not essentially an arm technique? would not work standing static (without totally twisting? (losing your other arm in the convo, chasing the time loss they can overtake you at leisure)) for me.
i dont know if its correct but i like to keep as many arms in order of priority because otherwise you lose backups (Paking, as attacker they have initial time luxury as defender you have luxury of higher order of defences, why lose the elbow if unnecessarily letting them have an elbow over you? to slide over/under yours to face or ribs as counterattack/bong your bong (is this a real thing? ive noticed in slightly longer conversation))
i saw your KT3 (?) elbow parry and think that at least works as a semi-useful arm technique. but same problem elbows are just too SLOW indirect inaccessible for me all this is very impractical in understanding.
Lets Be Equal+Real A Bruce Lee Lightning-Jab (already hit your face/throat) does not equal to:
_
PROCESS EQUAL TRAINING TIMESLOTS
lift leg, move leg, plant, transfer shifting weight, lift leg, move leg, plant +any other accompanying motions to make it work
_
without this video+any opponents aggressive fixed stance lunging +advertising space-stepping luxurious time given for foresight estimation preparation, without premeditated Loving Student+Master Relationship training+situation seen in other faker vids, and now teaching this to anyone OAPs and children to defend their lives as a usable technique- without that 3D shape elbow-cone taking the shifted direct central space between you acting as a (late+useless) backwards-catching border it does not work(?)
i wish to Respectfully declutter useless techniques For My World Family. if we have to change Real life convo to always keeping forearms accessible+diagonal back/forestepping and reading the opponents movements before they happen, lets do that. the Pak is ingenius and beats this(?)
my deduction is its the twist (+step)? the arm is just a somewhat slightly helpful border afterthought you dont really need in the same instant, not your real defensive priority, worse than Tan-Sao (which actually might have a use without being saved/only totally carried by other techniques+movements, only accentuated+amplified by them), esp. in JKD where beating them to the first punch is all
this is a v dodgy movement all i can think is point your elbow instead of wrists deformedly highest to naturally overtake the horizontal central communication line from your sides. or hide behind it and cover your face smelling your own armpit. but this is supposed to be quicker+more mechanical without force than an a karate upper-block?
anyone who can add to this convo on topic of how to make a bong sao arm actually work/do anything (more) useful at all is welcome to.
(Please explain the 3D invisible shape youre creating, if you can/it is necessary!? maybe its something to do with how the arm lines cross. higher/lower+inner/outer, closer/further. if it doesnt even work can we all be clear the arm does almost/nothing the torso twist and leg stepping does basically everything? if you have to work this hard to MAKE an elbow technique work im not sure what to say. i am confused at the placements.)
Houris+Lights All My Brothers.💙💗💖
Hi Sifu! Can you do a video for when someone keeps stepping back, feigning and trying to BREAK the gap, while you are trying to close the gap? also can you use one of your taller students so we can see how you deal with a taller guy while doing this? Thank you, sifu.
Stevie C. if someone is continuing to step back, then continue to move forward. This is an advantage for you because it is nearly impossible to put up any kind of offense when they are moving backwards. It also makes it very hard to defend because they are moving backwards. If you can time it so you can enter IN BETWEEN their movements, you can catch up with them. Since their energy is going BACKWARDS, not forward, that also makes it easier to break through their defenses and have your attack be more successful.
I have a question what wing Chung do when someone kick on mid section and try to hold u from back????? Plz make a video on that
Nice sir
I like this dude
Master Wong do you know any jeet June do techniques to share ?
sir I want learn many thing about fight
12 seconds in and i got my answer thx
master, I have no place to train wing chun, so I built a dummy, watch your videos along with some others. can you give me any advice on training alone, how to sharpen my reflex and instinct. thank you for any knowledge you share with us.
Doug Rosenfield Sr. ok message me on my Facebook
I have a friend who knows judo what is the best way to attack
YOU GOTTA LIKE THESE VIDEOS
Master wong love this new videos series!!
, can wing chung defend form kicks? i know wing chung is very good to defend ciculares kicks or straight kicks
but what we can do with a roundhouse kick ? maybe a 360 ° .. 540 ° typical of taekwondo?
Thanks for all master wong!! you re the best!
+octavio sassone A roundhouse kick is a two-step process;
First, the knee is raised and aimed at the target. Then, the knee becomes the hinge from which the shin is swung at the target, making it a circular attack.
Like all circular attacks swinging at you from an outside gate, the Wing Chun principle is to STOP the attack from inside the circle, close to the opponent's torso.
[The Wing Chun principle against a straight attack [jab or front-kick] is to DEFLECT the attack and move to the outside.]
Think of it like this; if you swing a baseball bat at my head, the tip of the bat is the dangerous part, which is moving much faster and carrying much more energy than the handle of the bat, which is moving through a smaller circle, over a shorter distance.
So I move forward, into you, and stop the bat with say, bill-sao, or larp-sao and pak-sao, close to the handle, before it can pick up speed and become dangerous.
Likewise, if you are swinging your shin at me in a circular roundhouse kick, I take a half-step forward toward you, and use gum-sao or garn-sao to block at your knee.
If possible, I raise my own knee to strike the underside of your leg while simultaneously pushing it back and down with gum-sao, trapping your leg between the hammer and the anvil. [Lin sil dai dao, simultaneous attack and defence]
By moving forward, inside the arc of your circular kick, I avoid the dangerous fast-moving shin at the end of the arc, and need relatively little force to stop your kick at the knee or inside thigh.
Having bridged the gap by moving forward into your attack, I am now in range to deliver a chain-punch or palm-strikes.
Or I can take another half-step forward while delivering a knee or elbow-strike, closing to trapping range.
Like all WIng Chun scenarios, the specific technique you use is less important than understanding the basic PRINCIPLE of "DEFLECT a straight attack and move sideways out of it's path, STOP a circular attack by moving forward and blocking at the hinge-point".
The only real difference between a straight roundhouse, a spinning back-kick, or a 540 degree ballerina twirl, is how long you choose to stand there watching it happen, before stepping forward inside the arc and stopping it close to their torso, where the leverage and velocity is minimal.
PS - any kick aimed higher than the opponent's knee is a really good way to find yourself hopping around on one foot while your opponent holds your leg against their hip and beats the shit out of you.
Fancy spinning kicks look cool, and they may even work in the dojo, but in a crowded bar, a hallway, or the average furniture-filled living room at a house party [also full of drunk bystanders] it is unlikely you will have any room to perform your super awesome ballerina spin-kicks.
Daniel Stephens-Hunt Right Daniel! You always enter in on a kick, roundhouse or otherwise, on an angle to the opposite side of the kick. You move in the direction it is going. For example if it is going left to right, you would move to your left, his right, and enter in on an angle. Because a kick needs a wide angle to produce power, you would be, in essence, depriving him of his ability to produce that power. There, you could either catch the leg, attack the supporting leg, throw him down, or just enter in and pummel him with your fists. You seem like a very intelligent person who knows what he is talking about. You are right, high kicks RARELY work against real opponents, only beginners. You will either wind up with a broken knee, or on your ass getting pummelled.
+mightymeatmonsta Thank you, but I can't take the credit, that belongs to my sifu.
I had a sifu who explained WHY we do things a certain way, and made sure we understand the principles and physics behind every technique, just as his sifu taught him.
I have studied sakura kan jiu jitsu and seido karate as well as wing chun
I found karate to be rubbish, absolute rubbish. Then I sat in on a black-belt-only class, and was taken aback at how similar the "advanced" techniques were to those I had learned in my first year of wing chun.
"Why", I wondered, "Would you force students to endure several years of clumsy robotic blocking and screaming, before teaching them the more efficient movements"??
I found sakura kan jiu jitsu to be brutally effective.
As the open-hand system used by desperate samurai who found themselves unhorsed, without a weapon, in the midst of a battle, it had to be. It was based on a basic premise of, "kill the other guy in three seconds and take his weapon".
However, each lesson was taught as a highly specialized combat application; if your opponent does A, respond with B. If he does A,B,C, respond with D, E, F.
There was never any feeling of being taught, nor understanding, a larger principle guiding the selection and application of various techniques in various scenarios.
Having already had a wing chun background, I was able to guess and/or interpret the principles behind the techniques, most of the time.
But for the most part, each technique taught stood alone, with no guiding principle to link them.
As Bruce Lee said in the Tao of Gung Fu; pearls without a string.
This is why I always come back to wing chun.
It may look complex, but once understood is actually very simple.
There are many, many possible combinations of strikes and blocks, but there are really only a few basic principles to be understood, a core of basic bocks and strikes to be understood, and you're good to go.
Everything after that is simply refinement and practice.
I think this is why boxers and wing chun students are so dangerous; it is better to have only a few tools and master them, than to have a bewildering array of complex tools and no idea how to use them in the real world.
Daniel Stephens-Hunt good answer you sound like a very good master! thanks for your answer, i practice sipalki is like karate and wing chung with dirty techniques
+octavio sassone I am most definitely NOT a Sifu/Master. I passed gradings for my first four levels, and was training for my fifth when work commitments required me to move to another town. One of the beauties of wing chun is that you do not have to be a Sifu with decades of experience to understand the principles of the system, and their practical application in a variety of situations.
How do you defend against uppercuts and side kicks
Daryl Cummings oh yeah 😁😁😁😁
this guy is gr8
If he punches and retreats another that would work is a spinning back fist or elbow after dodging his attack.
Did Master Wong just say "brainwash you" at 3:01? LOL
master Wong I have a question
today I wanted to test out my wing chun but the guy I was practicing with was fast with his punching
he kept coming with fast jabs and fast hooks and I wasn't able to get a grab on him to finish him off. how should I Train to get quick enough to match his speed.
when I watch your videos it only explained how to stop a certain attack, what if they opponent come at you with rapid jabbing and non stop hook punch and wide kicks?
master wo g could u teach me.
i've learned that when you get a straigtpunch, you have to block it outside-inside and give the punch in 1 move straigt to the chin or neck with a fist or with your handpalm (because hurts less on hand) so you opponent is in1moveKO. So the block and the puch is one single move. your foot work is very important too and your offcourse the backhand. but with this single move the fight will take max 2 seconds and its done.but your things a very very powerfull aswell, no offense
+stefan de deugd í did wing chun for a short time its not that i'am very good in it but it's very effective and usefull when you have too decide and respond very fast even for a beginner. the firstpunch is probably enough
+stefan de deugd hope you understand what i mean
Well you don't always have to block it outside but yes you're right it is best to otherwise you're walking right into your opponent's punch. Like you said foot work is always important and personally I think it should be the first thing taught unfortunately in many schools it's not. A block and punch in one single movement is good to learn for improving speed, however how many people even manage to block a punch in a real situation whether a trained fighter or not? not many if any. Of all the actual fights I have been to I have never once needed to block a punch unless it was a hook ,the rest of the time I just simply moved out of the way in a circular motion and would aim for knock out damaging a guy's face with elbow strikes. I also like to damage both legs using shin kicks, knees to groin or head. Sometimes depending on position I am put in I will use open hand strikes,or open hand to grab,throw,poke in eyes.
Mw thanks we like the vids....

Can wing chun kuan sau use to defend both round house kick and straight kick?
Tristan Tan Yes. it can be used to defend either one. It also protects from a mid level or high level attack.
***** shoud i use the side of the bone to defend it? or use the inner arm flesh?
You are using the bone side, and part of the forearm muscle to deflect the low shot and the palm or side of the palm to deflect the high or mid range shot. Don't forget to use this in conjunction with a body rotation towards the kick (using a 45 degree angle to square yourself to your opponent) and/or strike, with an angled step in to close the distance. This allows you to see any other strike coming from the far side in your peripheral vision and allow you to stop it.
how about using a lower bong sau instead? will it still work in the same way?
Sure. That's the good thing about wing chun. There are many different ways to stop a lower attack. If the attack is around mid range, you can use a bong sau, with a body rotation and an angled step in. But it works better with a kwan sao because BOTH levels are protected, in case the first kick is just a decoy to get you to lower your hands, then he tries a kick to the higher sections of the body like the upper body or head. If you use a bong sau, you might not be able to get an arm up to defend. A bong sau is better for mid to upper body protection because you have both hands in the center, allowing you to use the man sau or asking hand if the technique fails for some reason or he does another technique. It's all about what is comfortable for YOU! You have to try it against various kicks and see what is most effective for you to use. Everyone is different, and uses different techniques. What might be right for you, might not be right for someone else. Again, because of wing chun's flexibility, this all becomes possible.
Sofia how can I develop core strength with limited time? And also flexibility
How to stop a kick to the groan?
Eric Grays There are three ways. You can use your foot, with a body rotation , or you can use your knee, by coming across your body at a 45 degree angle, which will, if you hit him properly, HURT LIKE HELL since you are hitting him in the ankle or side of the shin, by the small muscles along the side of the shin. then, using an circular step to the outside, you can close the distance. Or you can use a gum sao, or kwoon sau (that is a low bong sau and a pak sao, which protects not only the lower area, but any attacks to the mid and upper area also) with a body rotation and an angled step.
Would you use Bil Sao in a street fight
is this for defense or attack, master?
Filbert Vance Martin is can be defend and attack
Wing Chun Tai Chi JKD - Master Wong thanks btw how can I practice this at home? I have no dummy or anything that can be punched.
No defence, no offence! ...
Hello, great videos! You mentioned the "jump and move back" strategy. Could you talk a bit more how to react to this? Thank you!
it could. but why should it?
I DMan64 approve this psa.
wow! i used a similar move on a muay Thai guys punch when i was younger. im so shocked that its wing chun. i thought i invented a move : / lol. although i did discover the move mid fight in real life
anyone reading... it works super well. you can also throw it like a muay Thai elbow and it knocks them off balance if they are charging street fight style
Hay how do u stop a flowers kick

How do you stop a attack from a wushu fighter
Master Wong how can I block a straight punch using Jeet Kune Do
+deepali khanna you must be quik, dear friend.
Greutung Thank you dear friend :)
***** haha!! thanks dude!
deepali khanna Use pak sao, tan sao, bong sao or even bil sao from wing chun, with an angled step in to the outside of the attacking arm. This will put you out of reach of his counter and in a great position to counter yourself. It will also close the distance to close combat range. If you are not close enough (two feet or less, depending on your arm length), then you need to either wait for another contact to be made, or you need to take another step in to get the proper distance. This is done through PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE! Make sure you put your leg next to his, dropping the back knee 2 inches, which will give you forward intent, locking his leg in place. Try to make sure that your steps are the same, so you never lose balance. Also, you don't have to RUN in, like in JKD. If you can walk quickly, keeping your balance intact, then you will never lose your balance, which will destroy your structure, also destroying your techniques and the ability to produce power. This is how it is done in traditional wing chun and works very well, especially against boxers.
How would you defend against a ufc takedown
James Allen lol...ufc takedown.. (Double Leg Takedown)
No because what if its when they pick you up and slam you
+James Allen He already has a video on how to counter wrestlers. Go and look for it
Ok thanks
Bong Sao works perfectly against a straight punch. I wouldn't trust it against a hook/round punch, though.
+Eric Arroyo
Agreed. Use larp-sao or jut-sao from the inside of the opponent's hook, on your central line, with simultaneous straight punch or palm-strike on your centre line from the other hand.
If you get caught out by a feint and find a hook coming at you from the other side as you are bringing up bong-sao, turn your wu-sao hand over to form tan-sao. This turns bong-sao into quan-sao [simultaneous bong and tan], which is not ideal as a cross-body block, but will usually suffice to block a hook and allow for a quick larp-sao [lop-sao] trap and counter.
+Daniel Stephens-Hunt I only really trust Biu Sao/Bil Sao for dealing with hooks. Tan alone can fail.
+Eric Arroyo I got the crap beaten out of me by some gang members a few years ago. The first guy tried to have a go at me inside, which ended badly for him, and I went to make a timely exit and leave the house party. The second guy came at me in the driveway as I rounded the corner of the house. One of those motion-sensor floodlights was mounted on the eave of the garage behind him. It dazzled me and I could only see him as a silhouette. The right shoulder of the silhouette twitched [I was unable to make out the elbow and monitor it] and he appeared to be throwing a big wide telegraphed right hook. I stepped forward and out on an angle, raising a left bill-sao with right hand wu-sao at the bicep. Turned out, he was actually throwing an overhand straight right, one of those roll-the-shoulder straight boxing punches. It sailed through on the inside of my bill-sao and landed dead centre, breaking my nose. All I could see was stars and pinwheels of light. I took a full step back and switched guards, and my rear foot vanished into a fucking hole a dog had dug in the grass. I went over backwards, slapped the ground in a breakfall and absorbed most of the impact, but my fucking head landed on a decorative rock. I was on the verge of blacking out, and couldn't see shit. The guy landed on my chest on his knees, and proceeded to rain punch after punch onto my face. He got six or seven punches through, because I couldn't see a goddamn thing - my eyes were full of blood and my head was spinning - and rather than cover my face with my forearms and ride it out, I was attempting blind pak-saos and bong-saos in an effort to make contact and use touch sensitivity/chi sao to trap and counter attack. I gave up on that, brought my knee up to my chest and aimed a blind kick, which caught him in the chest and allowed me to lever him off me onto his ass, where he scrabbles away from me on his ass with his hands and heels. I rolled to my feet, set my stance as I brought up my guard, and used my rear hand to quickly wipe some of the blood out of my eyes. That was when I realized there were four of them, and some of the hooks I had taken to the side of my head while on my back and blind, had actually been cheap-shot kicks from his mates. I didn't know it until later, but the dude was wearing a knuckle-duster with nasty hooked blades on it, like shark's teeth, and my face looked like a badly stitched-together Frankenstein by that point. The fact I bounced to my feet, raised a guard and advanced on them turned them from bully to coward pretty quickly, and two of the immediately decided they didn't want anything to do with this. Long story short, I was able to crush one guy's throat with bong-sao, larp-sao, fut-sao and followed it with a cross-body elbow strike to the jaw that made him glassy eyed, and I managed to catch Mr brass-knuckles asshole with pak, larp, and a forearm to the elbow that either fractured it or caused an olicranin bursitis [however you spell it], the popping of the sac of fluid that lubricates the elbow joint. That allowed me a chance to leap and roll over a fence and escape through backyards, until I'd found a safe place to call police from my cellphone.
The moral of the story is, it all fell apart and turned to shit when that first overhand roll-the-shoulder straight punch slipped inside my bill-sao. The shoulder movement looked like a hook was coming. I mean, the bill-sao I threw up was kind of lazy, arrogant even, I remember thinking, "Oh Christ, why don't you send me a telegram stating your intentions, this is going to be soooo easy".
Because the bill-sao started from my shoulder and stretched forward and out, there was always a giant hole there for the overhand right to sail through unimpeded. If I had been moving my lead hand from a centerline guard position to a larp/lop-sau or jut-sao, it probably would have intercepted the incoming punch by accident as it came through.
Since that night, I have been a bit wary of relying on bill-sao. Food for thought.
Daniel Stephens-Hunt wow that was quite a story, glad you made it out. You typed a detailed description. It makes sense if you had done the left arm as man sau or that jut sau from center it may have intercepted. But you couldn’t see details and the light was in your face.
I remember in Musashi’s book of 5 rings he recommended fighting with light or the sun at your back, like your attacker did (accidentally)
No more house parties at places with holes in the yard or angry gang bangers.
Good to keep in mind to be calm and never overconfident, as you discussed.
In the past I thought tan sau could be used for hooks, but after taking Krav classes and seeing their hook block, essentially a blend of biu and side jut sau, I like it much better. It withstands more power and makes a quick transition to grab and strikes.
All in just one take. 😂

Can master WING CHUN catch a front kick???
Why so aggressive? =)
K
I would love to see you in the ring against a well trained kid mma fighter 😁
yeah lol I also want him to fight a mma fighter
Don’t think it would prove anything, even if Master Wong was to get in the UFC and mop the floor of every fighter easily, you can bet people will still talk shit that “it’s not Wing chun it’s It’s the practioner Master Wong’s use of wing chun” they’ll still say wing chun is weak
MMA and UFC and Brazil Gracie jiu jitsu isn’t practical for the street to be honest, they train for a mat/cage with rules and time, i respect them for their training methods, but again it’s isnt good enough for real life situations, there’s a reason why Bruce Lee always did sil lum Tao the first form of wing chun daily at least 3 and as many as 50 sets with tension, that’s holding tension breathing for 3 mins a piece times 50 sets you do the math, sure he dabbled and picked stuff he liked from other arts, but to claim Bruce is the father or founder of UFC MMA is and a disservice to his name
Bruce was about expanding and going beyond rings and cages with rules, and make no mistake he was dead serious like Master Wong when it came to surviving someone wanted to hurt you on the street
Master wong are trying to help people for their self defense
You shortminded people think about fight, fuck you
Given the coward no where to run good job master Wong
No offence to "master" Wong, but if you wanted to learn wing chun, you would search locally for a qualified master. The spirit, mindset, and concepts behind all the wing chun principles are completely ignored in his videos. Picking up a book from sigung Chu Shong Tin (yip man lineage) or any deciple of any real wing chun lineage, or at best having an actual sifu that has been taught by one, will prove what I say.The Kung fu you will then learn, holds its true value, and the fighting style will be based on its actual foundations, not some maladroit misinterpretation..
He is a master? lmao you make no sense kid.
+Theo Pitzini I hear you and understand what you're trying to say
But master Wong teaches his students a form of wing chun which is easier to be used in a real life situation.
His students are interested in becoming good fighters fastly I believe.
I could say his wing chun is a hard wing chun but I still think he's a wonderful master.
Thanks for sharing your vision of Wing Chun with us master Wong
I saddens me people think it's ching ching ... It's not.
And in real life his technics would not work, picture the scenario: a heavyweight boxer, an mma fighter , or just some big angry guy (small angry guy too), do you think that tip tap crap would work ?
I would pay 100$ to see you fighting in a ring or cage. I'll consider you fake until I see you fighting at least a below average boxer/mma fighter
Don’t think it would prove anything, even if Master Wong was to get in the UFC and mop the floor of every fighter easily, you can bet people will still talk shit that “it’s not Wing chun it’s It’s the practioner Master Wong’s use of wing chun” they’ll still say wing chun is weak

Bruce was about expanding and going beyond rings and cages with rules, and make no mistake he was dead serious like Master Wong when it came to surviving someone wanted to hurt you on the street
