RIP Grandmaster Yip Fook Choy. I am from another Wing Chun school but I've visited him once. Very humble and kind grandmaster. May his soul rest in peace.
Hi Martial man, I'd like to thank you very much for making this clip possible. My name is Ben, Ben Ng. I started learning Yip kin Wing Chun under Yip Fook Choy Si fu since 2004, although I haven't been able to spend much time with Si fu, I was mainly practicing under Si heng Tony Yip and Kahar Saidun. I simply wanted express my appreciation. Thank you again.
BenokanobiSama that's great to hear. You are learning authentic Kungfu from skilled teachers so keep up the training and help to preserve this precious art. Best regards, Kieren
The internet has changed the martial arts world. There is so much valuable information available for everyone to see now than ever before. Thank you for the comment.
Hello martial fans , if you would like to see more of Grandmaster Yip Fook Choy and the Yip Kin Wing Chun system, then you will be happy to hear that I will be uploading the unseen footage from this interview including the Yip Kin Wing Chun wooden dummy form to the member's area of my website later today. www.themartialman.com
Hard breaks the hard, soft penetrates the hard... Hard styles utilize to be soft then hard for breaking.. Internal arts that are soft use softness to penetrate inspite of being hard.. This is very familiar to the siu lim tao form I practiced few days ago combining all three forms.. It works only if you have good basic qui practice like Tai Chi, Bagua and philosphies and mindsets and thus promote a healthy body and mind... Technical support is awesome.. I would like to see the unseen footage of the wooden dummy form but I already know them as I have explored them.. Sifu Serio has demonstrated them in several occasions like in his own DVD of Siu Lim Tao as an addition to IP man Siu Lim Tao in advance method borrwing them from different lineages, it was great to see this.. Tai Chi of all lineages are great and can be combined with IPman Wing Chun, it is also spectacular and complete like Bagua.. Great Shaolin Wing Chun, thanks Martial man!!
Real Shaolin Wing Chun from the Red boat opera. If anyone wants to know what real opera Wing Chun is then just watch this video!! The video footage of this Master and the Yip Kin system is priceless. Kieran, the martial arts world is very much indebted for your work and for sharing this information to the public. Thank you for another great video.
Jack Simmins Yes you are correct, this is Red Boat Opera Wing Chun from Southern Shaolin. Thank you for the kind words, it’s nice to know that my work is appreciated.
THE MARTIAL MAN it is more than appreciated, that is an understatement. This is the oldest lineage of Wing Chun in Malaysia. There are lots of other teachers claiming Opera Wing Chun but their system is not even 10% of what is shown here. Thank you for bringing this master into the public eye.
Even Hartford and Yale have the last/flunker in class, evening bearing the name Yale and Hartford. Just the word "RED BOAT" is enough to make the white folks drool !! What exactly shown here made it priceless ?? May I ask ? Neanderthal might be a bridge to Human, but it didn't make Neanderthal a wonder!!
少川靖男 Why would you assume someone’s race? Your comment is insulting and racist. Please show some respect and humility. I will not communicate with people that make assumptions.
Its always great to see the traditions carried on These diamonds of time trained experience are a joy to my eyes to see still going on thank you for this.
Just watched this video. Thank you for the interview. I bet you barely can move when he hands touched you, especially when hands with hands, & his right thumb stick your rib and pushing you another side. Ha... His fists, fingers, his grip, his palm strength is so strong that didn't even move his shoulder. Basically you are dead the moment when you got locked inside his boundaries. I bet he is 10 times "heavier" than Kahar. Kahar did it on me before, I can't barely move my hands when both of our hands crossed. I also tried Kahar 0 inch punch on my chest. Even with dictionary covered, is like a sword stab middle into my chest. It took days to recover from the uncomfortable. Good sharing bro, even through I have never meet Yip Fook Choy Sifu. Although I have heard a lot from Kahar. At least with your documentary will help to know him more. He showed you lot ways to attack. But usually they end fight in seconds before even knowing. Which mean, we won't see it clearly.
Your interviews are of very great value. Thank you for your work. I like many of them, especially the Taichi Interviews but also the other videos like this one. Best wishes, Armin K
@@WingChunEcuador Because it's not the short version of Wing Chun, he taught traditional wing chun to a few, Chu Shong Tin was one of them, go look him up and you'll see Ng Mui's Wing Chun. (Ng Mui = The Founder of Wing Chun)
@@varanid9 lol kid, Wing Chun and Wu Mei(Ng Mui) style didn't appear out of thin air. Wing Chun was an art created by somebody, and this somebody is who we refer to as Ng Mui.
@@inspiringothers7197 I think you’re right . The version ip taught in HK was only taught by him directly to a very small group. Remember he was 60 years old when he came to HK. And then those guys did all of the teaching for Ip’s school. Would be really interesting to know how Ip and his fellow students trained in the beginning when they were kids .
I see many similarities to Old Hung Kuen, which makes sense given that this style has a connection to the Red Boat Opera. I always look forward to your videos. Thanks, man
@@THEMARTIALMAN Interesting body language during the interview. He's doing Wing Chun as he gestures with both hands. Elbows low,arms connected and supporting his communication. He's got Wing Chun in his muscle memory and blood.

very nice vid! I used to practice wing chun for some years and now I started okinawa shorin ryu karate. Is there a connection between souhtern kungfu like wing chun and shorin ryu?
Thanks for sharing the knowledge of these Masters. Its indeed of great value. I wish you a happy and healthy 2019 and I hope to see more videos from you in 2019.
Thumbs up just for putting together another excellent interview (and all the planning/preparation and post-production that requires). Then we have the superb content - great to see a flavour of wing chun that goes beyond what I've seen or experienced from the HK branches in terms of variety of technique. Keep up the excellent work Mr KK, wish I could have attended your Thailand camp this season (if there's another one next year then I'm there!).
deadlypalms thank you for kind words and comments. You’re right noting the amount of time, energy, preparation and post-production that goes into making these videos. It is a big project for sure. I will be announcing the details and taking bookings for The Martial Camp (January 2020) around February 2019. It will be great to have to you there if you can make it. Thank you again for your comment, wishing you a happy new year 🙏
Cool video. I really enjoy watching Masters of all styles. I've always loved the martial arts...To many Kung Fu movies as a kid and still till this day...🙏🏽
Thank you so much to the Martial Man for this video. This art certainly deserves exposure , especially with its historical connection to the Red Boat Opera. I hope to see a second video where proponents of this art demonstrate and explain it's similarities and differences in principles and strategic applications as compared to other schools. As far as I do know, due to its association with the Red Boat Opera, Yip Kin Wing Chun also absorbed other Kung Fu patterns or arts practiced by others on the boats. It would be great to share some of this with the audiences round the world .....as they generously did for me. James LeePK, Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu ( Ninjutsu ) , Malaysia.
That was really cool .I wish I knew more about my Wing Chun linage.My teacher was western boxer that learned Chinese martial arts Wing Chun Shui Jiao and Chi na Shaolin Kempo form an old Chinese man during the late fifties and early sixties.Kinda sucks in a lot of way not having traditional affiliation or family.But it does allow for a great deal of experimentation,and not having attachments that can hinder individual development.But I still wish I had that sense of history and connection you get from traditional martial arts.My Wing Chun has become very soft as I grow older I'm in my fifties now and have been at it since 79.I've been considering studying the Ip Man style a Sifu moved close to my home and his fees seem reasonable.I live in Ohio and have considered moving to Dayton.I've heard really good things about the teacher there.I live in between Akron and Cleveland now and they're some pretty good Wing Chun schools and Sifu around.I miss my teacher he was all about practical application and had lots of experience in the ring and on the street.His son even won a kick boxing championship back in 87.But unfortunately his son has a lots of health problem and doesn't teach.Wing Chun is wonderful journey that is for certain it has so much to teach and is deep and full of meaning.
Honestly, from my experience you're better off not being part of a traditional affiliation. There are a lot of outdated and in my opinion useless rituals involved with saving face that have nothing to do with your development in the art as a fighter. I came from those styles and there was not much room for experimentation. I come to find out they don't even know why some things are done, but just go with it cause their teacher did it that way but never explained or thoroughly demonstrated what things were for. I hope you are still training and developing yourself in the art.
@@varanid9 That has been my experience as well. My first martial art was Wing Chun under a guy who had a traditional lineage in 7 Star Praying Mantis and Baguazhang, we did the same stuff for 6 years until his former number 1 revealed that he was slow burning us for school fees. I then left and got with his number 1 who was also thuggish, was a former bounty hunter and bouncer for 19 years. He actually explained what everything was for and told me that in the old days training was very experimental and hands on. My fighting abilities took off from there. After that I explored other arts, but ran into guys who did the same old things as my first instructor, pure BS with no aptitude for fighting. I found another good teacher in an old boxer who did many arts and even competed in old kickboxing competitions but specialized in Xingyiquan. He encouraged me to find what works for my body, fighting aptitude and attitude. Although he holds a lineage, he does not givorn his teaching to the traditions and really likes to train hands on and swap paint with people. However he is old and he cannot go for long like he used to. My former teacher's number 1 student who really took me to new heights lives over seas and my access to him is about a couple of times out of the year. Yes those guys are a real rarity and a real treasure. The more you seek it out, you'll find those guys. They're the guys that do nothing but talk about fighting and life and they value people who really want the skill. To this day I have no rank and do not even hold a traditional lineage, but I was recently shown respect by guys that do at a cqc seminar. The fighters that can see through the facade of tradition and value the skill will recognize you and even offer to train and teach. But beware of the guys that want to use you to say that they trained your high skill so that they can get recognition and respect from other so-called masters. There are a LOT of those around. Keep training. What I found is that even if you teach what you already know to someone who doesn't, your skills improve greatly as you see things from a new angle and even catch errors in things you do.....I suspect this is how multiple different lineages of one style came about. Dudes experimenting and seeing what works for them.
that's interesting because shui Jiao means sleep in Chinese and kempo isn't Chinese... that's not to attack you but rather lights up the bulb in my head and raises surprise to it
Well written. I hope you found a good sifu with a genuine lineage. I’m now in my 60’s and can still practise quite seriously using less effort the more time I can dedicate . Good luck. I hope it’s all going well for you.
So different from the more known style of Wing Chun. Movement is very similar to Southern Mantis mixed with a little Tiger, White Crane and Eagle Claw. Thanks for sharing
@@THEMARTIALMAN Yeah... it's crazy. You can tell just by the movement of his hands in basic conversation that he's a master in some form of martial arts...
@@alichekbigi Kool... those are great. I've studied Muy Thai as well. Would love to of had the honor to study Judo. If you ever get the opportunity to study Systema...do so. One I wish I could find. I just love as many forms to study and train to know yourself better. I'm not into yoga...I'd rather meditate or do martial arts. I love all forms
I should always keep in mind not to scroll too much in the comment section. Otherwise it is 100% sure I'll find a comment such as "this doesn't work, prove it against MMA" . Sometimes it is really uncomfortable to search for valuable comments on martial arts videos and yet find such recurring statements. Great video, anyways. It's always a pleasure to see the right masters interviewed by the right person who asks the right questions and understands what to ask. :)
If you are into different WC styles Pao Fa Lien would be very interresting! It has much more hand and weapon sets and there are almost no videos about this style.
I have watched sifu Yip performing his forms a long time ago . I’m very interested in the variations of this magnificent system based on the theories passed down from great grand master to grand master to sifu etc.. Fascinating ❤ Thank you 🙏
Wow what a difference to the HK style and to Siu Nim Tao! I see a lot of similar movement to WC but def some shaolin\wushu moves mixed up in there....and holy crap is that form long. Love how he just casually imparts "Train until you do not see any apparent external movement to generate internal power"......that takes years and years of practice lol Awesome video Mr Martial Man...keep up the good work, very very very much appreciated. You have picked up on a sightly different angle from where Fight Quest\Kung Fu Quest left off and IMHO far exceeded it!!
Yes, it's interesting to see the differences between Yip Kin Wing Chun and the more commonly known HK version of Wing Chun. Thank you for your kind words, I'm not sure I can compare to other amazing shows like Fight Quest, however, I appreciate your comment. Wishing you all the best for 2019.
No sir...its only a pleasure..credit must be given where credit is due.....your humble approach and genuine interest eggs the Sifu's to impart knowledge and share with you little gems that they would not normally give with a camera pointed at them. (That being said, some of them do tend to go on and on like pompous windbags lol)Also any exposure on RUclips for them means more people watch and therefore more students. The trick is to find those Sifu's who don't want the exposure with the hidden Martial Arts that has been kept a closely guarded secret. All the best for you too in 2019, and hope your training camp is a success! I see its now Sold Out so congratulations! (Would love to come but cannot afford the time or the money unfortunately)
Thanks for another great vid! Got a question, though. When YFC was applying the “construction crane” force to you, did it feel similar to what Nima King did?
Wow that was very interesting! Can you do a video explaining more of the history of the lineage? I'm curious to see how this system evolved differently than the HK WC lineages. Is there any footage of their chi sao or sparring?
Maurice Gatdula I will write an article about this system in the near future. I will also be adding lots of additional footage I captured to the members area of my site. The Yip Kin weapon and wooden dummy forms are very interesting.
All those movements are already contained in the 3 wing chun forms / dummy - simplicity is always a better way. I enjoyed watching this though.... Thanks
I've learn this form before from Yip Fook Choy brother in kungfu (Cantonese mean SiHing). Good to saw him in this channel. If you are still in Kuala Lumpur, we can have a tea to discuss a bit about Kungfu in Malaysia. There is a lot of very interesting kungfu lineage in Malaysia.
In its style and moves and essence looked similar to lau gar kung fu. But then almost has a difference to the attacks and defence techniques. Amazing its so similar but yet so different at the very same time.
@@yourguide637 i don't think so, i had seen many wing chun grandmasters destroyed by Mr. Xu Xiadong in less than 7 seconds.. the greatest chinese tai chi grandmaster, lei lei, almost got his skull broke in 4 seconds, by Xu Xiadong.. i don't think this master will survive against Xu since chinese traditional martial arts are in panic on Mr. Xu's awakening and exposing chinese martial arts as fake or obsolete against real live combat or well trained opponents.. this style might work against untrained bullies but what about trained thugs, streetfighters or robbers who will mug you up real bad??
There are many forms in the different style of WC. However, if you look carefully close enough there are always similarities like Tan sau, fook sau, bong sau kang sau and so on...... Just different styles.
The opening of the form is almost the same as bak mei opening, it also seems to have Hung gar and Hakka southern mantis flavor in it. Very interesting indeed.
Rakoom Boom the opening salutation has a connection to the Red Boat Opera so it will certainly look similar if not the same as some lineages of the Southern arts. Nice comment and observations 👍
The last hand form is Mantis, i noticed that as well... saw a lot of small hints of hsing yi chaun fa, the leopard fist, mantis style... never seen someone who could mix and use so much fluidly with ease.. this man is no joke.... not many ppl strike that part of your Lat muscle, i noticed that right away. He knows way more than Wing Chun.
I am half Malay Irish, all my uncles come from Malaysia. They all know kung fu. One of my uncles did what your doing now but hes a master himself seen a guy pummel river rock with his bare hands seen monks do stuff you'll never see on video amazing things. Qi gong is real but there is so many fakes out there. Also amazed so many grand masters are in Malaysia and ipoh where we are from.
I love seeing content from southeast asia. It’s much richer in diverse KF than ppl give it credit for. Hopefully you can get Eric Ling for White Crane! I must say though... Hung Kuen is not “only hard”. That’s why the first 2 of 12 basics practiced are Gong Kiu and Yao Kiu (hard bridge, soft bridge). What’s interesting is the form he shows actually looks a lot like Gung Gee Fuk Fu Kuen, but with a lot more to remember! Lol. That thumb... been hit with that thumb of death before lol. In the stomach. Messed up my digestion for 2 days 😂 Cheers!
Is there a text to describe why such big differences in the text book wing chun and this non typical wing chun form. As it presents its structure and Movements outside of what is known was the standard?
Once, I fighted a Judoka. When he grabbed me for a throw, I just punched him right to his jaws with uppercuts, then finished him with hooks. He was totally enable to use his techniques. I am not Bruce Lee and maybe this guy could have thrown me to the ground, but He was fighting like in tournament and didn't expected to be hit back. Judo and Ju jutsu are really efficient in a fight, but according to me, people confuse about it because of the Brazillian Jiu Jitsu propaganda and imagine that almost all the fights have to end on ground. Facing an armed agressor, a takedown is pretty unreallistic. You may succed of course, if you're a very skilled Judoka, but continuing the fight on the ground would certainly occure stabs and really bad wounds. Some arts like Arnis de Mano are more suitable for street fights ( I mean life and death encounter ). Even in MMA competitions, you can see grapplers defeated by boxers. Wing Chun has its limitations too, especially dealing with massive and powerful opponents, but, as all martial arts, its purpose is to end the fight as soon as possible, with hits to weak areas of the body : Eyes, temple,throat... If the surprise effect is lost, then the troubles begin. No one can predict how a fight will end.
Please show one video where this stuff is shown to work...i refer to the many MMA videos that abound...if this stuff worked over basic western boxing and BJJ im sure we would have seen it...please prove me wrong
I can show you hundreds of videos! Most produced by RunRun Shaw. Dance of the mantis Return to the 36th chamber The seven deadly fists Oh.... You wanted real life? Sorry, these moves and styles don't work in real life.
It looks somewhat similar to cho-gar wing chun, the use of kiu-Sao, the positioning of body forward rather than backward, seems similar. I wonder if both styles have any connection.
It's real name is Yip, he has only been called In since the movies in the last few years. I have books that are 40 or more years old up to the early 90s and no one ever called Yip ,Ip. It bugs the crap out of me. Eeerrrr.
I'm glad this is promoted for healthy living not self defense. Want to fight effectively but risk brain damage in your 50's learn to box, want to live a long healthy life do this
@@josephperkins4080 while not all boxers will be symptomatic of brain damage it is very unlikely that anything more than a small percentage of pros get away without it.
@@elguitarolerno that's the diffrence between boxing learned for self defence and boxing for sport the guy learning for self defence will still be sharp as a tack come 60
THE MARTIAL MAN I was hoping for written comment or video. I’ve never figured out why the horse stance seems to teach posterior tilt and strong gluteus medius engagement, but the practice seems to result in the opposite, and also a lot of general slouching. (I was a student for a few years in the 90’s)
Good observations, this style has an influence from Red Boat Opera so you will see lots of Southern Shaolin in there. It's a very rare and unique lineage.
@@THEMARTIALMAN It really is. Very cool. Many say that wing Chun evolved from white crane. I think this is proof of a in-between state, that then evolved on it's own. :)
@@chickenfriedbobcat6090 the master is an old man. this is a stupid thing to say. you are a stupid person. its like saying" if Cus d'amato was alive, he would be at a young mma fighters mercy" that is dumb. just dont say that to anybody ever again.
Sai Fa Kuen seems to incorporate many techniques, ideas and concepts under one roof that are found dispersed through all four of the empty hand forms in classic/HK Wing Chun. That is very interesting.
@@THEMARTIALMAN For my sins, so do I... But I am not going to keep secrets from being secrets forever. Perhaps this is odd, I am NOT a businessman, and, because I talk, others take my ideas and run with them...make money, get promoted, run seminars, build more martial arts schools... But me..? No. I am a Taoist. :)
Joseph Stron. I was fortunate enough to study the original Foshan Wing Chun system taught by Ip Man before he moved to Hong King. It's actually very different aesthetically and in application.
@@THEMARTIALMAN you can see the evolution from comparing Foshan YM Wing Chun to the Wing Chun of the 3 Kings (Leung Sheung, Lok Yiu, Chu Shong Tin), and then to something much later like Wong Shun Leung or Moy Yat Wing Chun. Though to be fair, Yip Man never had a disciple in Foshan. He taught unofficially, but Leung Sheung was his first ever actual Disciple.

Never seen anything like that... The form is a strange combination of all three classical forms with some new fancy movements. Interesting.

Thanks for sharing the knowledge of these Masters. Its indeed of great value. I wish you a happy and healthy 2019 and I hope to see more videos from you in 2019.
Thank you, I’m happy to hear that my hard work is valued. Wishing you a Happy New year and all the best for 2019 🙏
Very interesting, thanks for sharing! Love your videos and hard work 💪
Fernando Núñez glad to hear it 🙏
Thumbs up just for putting together another excellent interview (and all the planning/preparation and post-production that requires). Then we have the superb content - great to see a flavour of wing chun that goes beyond what I've seen or experienced from the HK branches in terms of variety of technique. Keep up the excellent work Mr KK, wish I could have attended your Thailand camp this season (if there's another one next year then I'm there!).
deadlypalms thank you for kind words and comments. You’re right noting the amount of time, energy, preparation and post-production that goes into making these videos. It is a big project for sure.
I will be announcing the details and taking bookings for The Martial Camp (January 2020) around February 2019. It will be great to have to you there if you can make it. Thank you again for your comment, wishing you a happy new year 🙏
You can tell by how hard he hits that he's used it. He's fought. He hits with a purpose.
Taylor Bee well spotted 👍
Cool video. I really enjoy watching Masters of all styles. I've always loved the martial arts...To many Kung Fu movies as a kid and still till this day...🙏🏽
Thank you! Great video.
Douglas Newman thanks 🙏
Great stuff! Many thanks!
Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Superb work as usual
Thank you so much to the Martial Man for this video. This art certainly deserves exposure , especially with its historical connection to the Red Boat Opera.
I hope to see a second video where proponents of this art demonstrate and explain it's similarities and differences in principles and strategic applications as compared to other schools.
As far as I do know, due to its association with the Red Boat Opera, Yip Kin Wing Chun also absorbed other Kung Fu patterns or arts practiced by others on the boats. It would be great to share some of this with the audiences round the world .....as they generously did for me.
James LeePK,
Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu ( Ninjutsu ) , Malaysia.
Thanks for this. Many questions my body once had are now answered through observation of the movements and accompanied explanation in this video.
What's that background flute music name?
That was really cool .I wish I knew more about my Wing Chun linage.My teacher was western boxer that learned Chinese martial arts Wing Chun Shui Jiao and Chi na Shaolin Kempo form an old Chinese man during the late fifties and early sixties.Kinda sucks in a lot of way not having traditional affiliation or family.But it does allow for a great deal of experimentation,and not having attachments that can hinder individual development.But I still wish I had that sense of history and connection you get from traditional martial arts.My Wing Chun has become very soft as I grow older I'm in my fifties now and have been at it since 79.I've been considering studying the Ip Man style a Sifu moved close to my home and his fees seem reasonable.I live in Ohio and have considered moving to Dayton.I've heard really good things about the teacher there.I live in between Akron and Cleveland now and they're some pretty good Wing Chun schools and Sifu around.I miss my teacher he was all about practical application and had lots of experience in the ring and on the street.His son even won a kick boxing championship back in 87.But unfortunately his son has a lots of health problem and doesn't teach.Wing Chun is wonderful journey that is for certain it has so much to teach and is deep and full of meaning.
Thank you for sharing, I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the video
Honestly, from my experience you're better off not being part of a traditional affiliation. There are a lot of outdated and in my opinion useless rituals involved with saving face that have nothing to do with your development in the art as a fighter. I came from those styles and there was not much room for experimentation. I come to find out they don't even know why some things are done, but just go with it cause their teacher did it that way but never explained or thoroughly demonstrated what things were for. I hope you are still training and developing yourself in the art.
@@varanid9 That has been my experience as well. My first martial art was Wing Chun under a guy who had a traditional lineage in 7 Star Praying Mantis and Baguazhang, we did the same stuff for 6 years until his former number 1 revealed that he was slow burning us for school fees. I then left and got with his number 1 who was also thuggish, was a former bounty hunter and bouncer for 19 years. He actually explained what everything was for and told me that in the old days training was very experimental and hands on. My fighting abilities took off from there. After that I explored other arts, but ran into guys who did the same old things as my first instructor, pure BS with no aptitude for fighting. I found another good teacher in an old boxer who did many arts and even competed in old kickboxing competitions but specialized in Xingyiquan. He encouraged me to find what works for my body, fighting aptitude and attitude. Although he holds a lineage, he does not givorn his teaching to the traditions and really likes to train hands on and swap paint with people. However he is old and he cannot go for long like he used to. My former teacher's number 1 student who really took me to new heights lives over seas and my access to him is about a couple of times out of the year. Yes those guys are a real rarity and a real treasure. The more you seek it out, you'll find those guys. They're the guys that do nothing but talk about fighting and life and they value people who really want the skill. To this day I have no rank and do not even hold a traditional lineage, but I was recently shown respect by guys that do at a cqc seminar. The fighters that can see through the facade of tradition and value the skill will recognize you and even offer to train and teach. But beware of the guys that want to use you to say that they trained your high skill so that they can get recognition and respect from other so-called masters. There are a LOT of those around. Keep training. What I found is that even if you teach what you already know to someone who doesn't, your skills improve greatly as you see things from a new angle and even catch errors in things you do.....I suspect this is how multiple different lineages of one style came about. Dudes experimenting and seeing what works for them.
that's interesting because shui Jiao means sleep in Chinese and kempo isn't Chinese... that's not to attack you but rather lights up the bulb in my head and raises surprise to it
Well written. I hope you found a good sifu with a genuine lineage. I’m now in my 60’s and can still practise quite seriously using less effort the more time I can dedicate . Good luck. I hope it’s all going well for you.
So different from the more known style of Wing Chun. Movement is very similar to Southern Mantis mixed with a little Tiger, White Crane and Eagle Claw. Thanks for sharing
ISLAND SPICE HAWAII thanks for the comment, I agree that it's nice to see the differences and similarities in the arts.
@@THEMARTIALMAN Yeah... it's crazy. You can tell just by the movement of his hands in basic conversation that he's a master in some form of martial arts...
ISLAND SPICE HAWAII 👍👍👍
I dunno...i see some platypus paw and deer hoof style, maybe a touch of the bearded goat attack
@@alichekbigi Kool... those are great. I've studied Muy Thai as well. Would love to of had the honor to study Judo. If you ever get the opportunity to study Systema...do so. One I wish I could find. I just love as many forms to study and train to know yourself better. I'm not into yoga...I'd rather meditate or do martial arts. I love all forms
I should always keep in mind not to scroll too much in the comment section. Otherwise it is 100% sure I'll find a comment such as "this doesn't work, prove it against MMA" . Sometimes it is really uncomfortable to search for valuable comments on martial arts videos and yet find such recurring statements.
Great video, anyways. It's always a pleasure to see the right masters interviewed by the right person who asks the right questions and understands what to ask. :)
where are these comments?
did they get deleted?
Too late, I scrolled through the comments and already found two comments like that before finding yours 😭
Beautiful video!
If you are into different WC styles Pao Fa Lien would be very interresting! It has much more hand and weapon sets and there are almost no videos about this style.
Cool, I will bear it in mind for the future. Thanks for the comment
Thank you for always uploading great content. If its possible i would like to travel and train with these masters. Please send info.
Black Rain the link for official website of Yip Kin Wing Chun is written in the description of this video. Good luck and safe travels 🙏
Grazie! Tanti spunti e insegnamenti su cui meditare
I have watched sifu Yip performing his forms a long time ago . I’m very interested in the variations of this magnificent system based on the theories passed down from great grand master to grand master to sifu etc.. Fascinating ❤ Thank you 🙏
Wow what a difference to the HK style and to Siu Nim Tao! I see a lot of similar movement to WC but def some shaolin\wushu moves mixed up in there....and holy crap is that form long. Love how he just casually imparts "Train until you do not see any apparent external movement to generate internal power"......that takes years and years of practice lol
Awesome video Mr Martial Man...keep up the good work, very very very much appreciated. You have picked up on a sightly different angle from where Fight Quest\Kung Fu Quest left off and IMHO far exceeded it!!
Yes, it's interesting to see the differences between Yip Kin Wing Chun and the more commonly known HK version of Wing Chun. Thank you for your kind words, I'm not sure I can compare to other amazing shows like Fight Quest, however, I appreciate your comment. Wishing you all the best for 2019.
No sir...its only a pleasure..credit must be given where credit is due.....your humble approach and genuine interest eggs the Sifu's to impart knowledge and share with you little gems that they would not normally give with a camera pointed at them. (That being said, some of them do tend to go on and on like pompous windbags lol)Also any exposure on RUclips for them means more people watch and therefore more students. The trick is to find those Sifu's who don't want the exposure with the hidden Martial Arts that has been kept a closely guarded secret.
All the best for you too in 2019, and hope your training camp is a success! I see its now Sold Out so congratulations! (Would love to come but cannot afford the time or the money unfortunately)
Sir Belphegory thank you 🙏
Wow very different lineage but i still see many Wing Chun principles applied and theories demonstrated. Interesting and beautiful!
It really is a beautiful martial art with so much depth and history. Thank you for the comment
Great ! Thank you for sharing!🙏
Thank you!
Thanks for another great vid! Got a question, though. When YFC was applying the “construction crane” force to you, did it feel similar to what Nima King did?
Master Yip uses a different engine, which results in a completely different feeling. Thanks for the comment.
Wow that was very interesting! Can you do a video explaining more of the history of the lineage? I'm curious to see how this system evolved differently than the HK WC lineages. Is there any footage of their chi sao or sparring?
Maurice Gatdula I will write an article about this system in the near future. I will also be adding lots of additional footage I captured to the members area of my site. The Yip Kin weapon and wooden dummy forms are very interesting.
I can’t wait to watch the wooden dummy form. I will keep checking your website for the videos to be uploaded.
Jack Simmins I will be uploading the unseen footage after the new year. Thank you for your support 🙏
@@THEMARTIALMAN excellent, thank you! I'm looking forward to it as well!
Maurice Gatdula 🙏
All those movements are already contained in the 3 wing chun forms / dummy - simplicity is always a better way. I enjoyed watching this though.... Thanks
I've learn this form before from Yip Fook Choy brother in kungfu (Cantonese mean SiHing). Good to saw him in this channel.
If you are still in Kuala Lumpur, we can have a tea to discuss a bit about Kungfu in Malaysia. There is a lot of very interesting kungfu lineage in Malaysia.
I have now left KL, however, I do have plans to return sometime later this year to film more interviews.
@@THEMARTIALMAN Great. Hopefully we can catch up when you coming over.
Thank you for sharing. Very interesting.
Sir where is your academy and how can I join
In its style and moves and essence looked similar to lau gar kung fu. But then almost has a difference to the attacks and defence techniques. Amazing its so similar but yet so different at the very same time.
he is impressive I am a beginner learning wing chun
Good documentary ! Do you have anything on Bamboo forest mantis ?
You are a humble man.
It's hard not to be humble when meeting with such skilled masters. Thank you for the comment.
I wonder if this would work against Xu Xiadong?
He will die
@@yourguide637 i don't think so, i had seen many wing chun grandmasters destroyed by Mr. Xu Xiadong in less than 7 seconds.. the greatest chinese tai chi grandmaster, lei lei, almost got his skull broke in 4 seconds, by Xu Xiadong.. i don't think this master will survive against Xu since chinese traditional martial arts are in panic on Mr. Xu's awakening and exposing chinese martial arts as fake or obsolete against real live combat or well trained opponents.. this style might work against untrained bullies but what about trained thugs, streetfighters or robbers who will mug you up real bad??
@@debhroravindranathtabaloc9213 Are you talking about no rule or rule fight?
So what's the difference between his wing chun and ip man,s wing chun?
There are many forms in the different style of WC. However, if you look carefully close enough there are always similarities like Tan sau, fook sau, bong sau kang sau and so on...... Just different styles.
The opening of the form is almost the same as bak mei opening, it also seems to have Hung gar and Hakka southern mantis flavor in it. Very interesting indeed.
Rakoom Boom the opening salutation has a connection to the Red Boat Opera so it will certainly look similar if not the same as some lineages of the Southern arts. Nice comment and observations 👍
The last hand form is Mantis, i noticed that as well... saw a lot of small hints of hsing yi chaun fa, the leopard fist, mantis style... never seen someone who could mix and use so much fluidly with ease.. this man is no joke.... not many ppl strike that part of your Lat muscle, i noticed that right away. He knows way more than Wing Chun.
@@df5849 His grand father Yip Kin learned more than WC when he was young. It is not surprised that Sifu Yip Fook Choy knew more than WC.
Love it. Gob bless you sifu.
I am half Malay Irish, all my uncles come from Malaysia. They all know kung fu. One of my uncles did what your doing now but hes a master himself seen a guy pummel river rock with his bare hands seen monks do stuff you'll never see on video amazing things. Qi gong is real but there is so many fakes out there. Also amazed so many grand masters are in Malaysia and ipoh where we are from.
Very good!
I love seeing content from southeast asia. It’s much richer in diverse KF than ppl give it credit for. Hopefully you can get Eric Ling for White Crane!
I must say though... Hung Kuen is not “only hard”. That’s why the first 2 of 12 basics practiced are Gong Kiu and Yao Kiu (hard bridge, soft bridge). What’s interesting is the form he shows actually looks a lot like Gung Gee Fuk Fu Kuen, but with a lot more to remember! Lol.
That thumb... been hit with that thumb of death before lol. In the stomach. Messed up my digestion for 2 days 😂
Cheers!
EliteBlackSash ”the thumb of death” 😁😁😁
Is there a text to describe why such big differences in the text book wing chun and this non typical wing chun form. As it presents its structure and Movements outside of what is known was the standard?
Have you thought of interviewing a master of Xing Yi, or Bagua?
YoYoKryptonite Yes, I will certainly be featuring some Xingyi and Bagua on my show in the future when I find a teacher that is suitable.
@@THEMARTIALMAN And I recommend Baji. Baji is a very practical Chinese martial art faculty, kind of like muay thai.
Its neat to see videos like this.
how, at malaysia? in land with vast of martial art, can i knew location?
I love Hung Kuen, Wing Chun and Choy Lee Fut
Interesting that the Yip Kin Wing Chun allows for the crossing of feet.
Yeah, but what happens when a Judoka wraps you up and throws you to the ground and begins a submission hold?
Once, I fighted a Judoka. When he grabbed me for a throw, I just punched him right to his jaws with uppercuts, then finished him with hooks. He was totally enable to use his techniques. I am not Bruce Lee and maybe this guy could have thrown me to the ground, but He was fighting like in tournament and didn't expected to be hit back. Judo and Ju jutsu are really efficient in a fight, but according to me, people confuse about it because of the Brazillian Jiu Jitsu propaganda and imagine that almost all the fights have to end on ground. Facing an armed agressor, a takedown is pretty unreallistic. You may succed of course, if you're a very skilled Judoka, but continuing the fight on the ground would certainly occure stabs and really bad wounds. Some arts like Arnis de Mano are more suitable for street fights ( I mean life and death encounter ). Even in MMA competitions, you can see grapplers defeated by boxers. Wing Chun has its limitations too, especially dealing with massive and powerful opponents, but, as all martial arts, its purpose is to end the fight as soon as possible, with hits to weak areas of the body : Eyes, temple,throat... If the surprise effect is lost, then the troubles begin. No one can predict how a fight will end.
Beautiful. This variant of Wing Chun focuses more on the wrist. Interesting.
David Williams it is a very interesting art indeed.
He is right. There is no way you can move someone sideways in the manner shown without internal knowledge. :)
hip power and sinking. There is no mystery.
Excellent!
Mike Sheng thank you 🙏
Huh? I didn't know we have a grandmaster right behind my neighbour... Is he still around to teach or given authorities to his student
Please show one video where this stuff is shown to work...i refer to the many MMA videos that abound...if this stuff worked over basic western boxing and BJJ im sure we would have seen it...please prove me wrong
I can show you hundreds of videos! Most produced by RunRun Shaw.
Dance of the mantis
Return to the 36th chamber
The seven deadly fists
Oh.... You wanted real life? Sorry, these moves and styles don't work in real life.
@@chickenfriedbobcat6090 I like biting chicken.
It looks somewhat similar to cho-gar wing chun, the use of kiu-Sao, the positioning of body forward rather than backward, seems similar. I wonder if both styles have any connection.
iS this wing chun?
Yes, it is Red boat Opera Wing Chun.
What a long form..... demonstrates a great memory
சூப்பர் தாதா
Wow that is so different.
I noticed _Ip_ Man and _Yip_ Kin pronounced very similiarly, wonder if there are correlations?
They are not connected.
Ip and Yip are different romanizations for the surname 叶. Its a common surname in southern China
The martial man is correct, although they may sound the same, they are not connected.
Oh, thank you
It's real name is Yip, he has only been called In since the movies in the last few years. I have books that are 40 or more years old up to the early 90s and no one ever called Yip ,Ip. It bugs the crap out of me. Eeerrrr.
I'm glad this is promoted for healthy living not self defense. Want to fight effectively but risk brain damage in your 50's learn to box, want to live a long healthy life do this
🙄Not all boxers end up with brain damage
@@josephperkins4080 while not all boxers will be symptomatic of brain damage it is very unlikely that anything more than a small percentage of pros get away without it.
@@elguitarolerno that's the diffrence between boxing learned for self defence and boxing for sport the guy learning for self defence will still be sharp as a tack come 60

Good job :D
I can see the movements of sui lim tao and chum kiu also bui gee forms

Years of practice and dedication.
😂😂
Can you comment on the posture of the grandmaster?
In what way are you wanting me to comment?
THE MARTIAL MAN I was hoping for written comment or video.
I’ve never figured out why the horse stance seems to teach posterior tilt and strong gluteus medius engagement, but the practice seems to result in the opposite, and also a lot of general slouching.
(I was a student for a few years in the 90’s)
Wish you can visit my sifu David Peterson in Malaysia too.
This man will Fook your Choy untill you go "Yip"!
Monsieur Art martial .. si toujours vivant Lol fait coucou
Very interesting! To me, that form had more noticeable elements of sam chin/white crane that ip man style. Very cool. :)
Good observations, this style has an influence from Red Boat Opera so you will see lots of Southern Shaolin in there. It's a very rare and unique lineage.
@@THEMARTIALMAN It really is. Very cool. Many say that wing Chun evolved from white crane. I think this is proof of a in-between state, that then evolved on it's own. :)

@@chickenfriedbobcat6090 say who? I like biting chicken.
Sai Fa Kuen seems to incorporate many techniques, ideas and concepts under one roof that are found dispersed through all four of the empty hand forms in classic/HK Wing Chun.

Bet Ip Man wing chun looked a lot like this before Ip Man moved to Hong Kong
Joseph Stron. I was fortunate enough to study the original Foshan Wing Chun system taught by Ip Man before he moved to Hong King. It's actually very different aesthetically and in application.
@@THEMARTIALMAN cool thanks for the info
@@THEMARTIALMAN i did not anyone still taught the original Foshan form of Wing Chun
@@THEMARTIALMAN you can see the evolution from comparing Foshan YM Wing Chun to the Wing Chun of the 3 Kings (Leung Sheung, Lok Yiu, Chu Shong Tin), and then to something much later like Wong Shun Leung or Moy Yat Wing Chun.
Though to be fair, Yip Man never had a disciple in Foshan. He taught unofficially, but Leung Sheung was his first ever actual Disciple.
