We all got inspired by watching Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Jet Li, Donnie Yen and classic Shaw Brothers movies.

Thanks to Chris for this video and sharing his knowledge hope I can assist one to his school I always wanted to learn martial arts once again thanks Chris
All my family members and Friends were always wondering why I practice wing chun they all said it was useless and I could never really explained why. I could just do what Google said. But you just made this video and it helped me so much, they understand so much more! THANK YOU!!!
Really loved your thoughts on Wing Chin..in relation to Bruce Lee. I grew up watching him. During Massapequa School at 28 I was learning Tai Chi..now I have been a student for 17 years. I do include Bruce's philosophy in my practice and with my studies.Now at 63 I am still learning..but I am more peaceful. I believe in softness like water..but knowing I can be hard like crashing water. Thank you for sharing your work
Respect to you Sifu Chris. I too am on my martial arts journey. My faith provides me a moral code but my worldly passion is my martial arts training. I became disillusioned with the modern way of living: eat/sleep/work repeat until you die. Hopefully one day I'll take this amazing system and teach others and accomplish myself, just like you have. 🤲 All the best👍
@@SifuChrisCollins Indeed, trying to live your passion is difficult when the system is in the way. I'll keep going though. Btw, I got a nunchuku video short. Check it out if you want.
@@SifuChrisCollins cool mate most Muay Thai guys are. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to come up to Hong Kong and train with you and system. It looks good compared to the other clowns teaching Wing Chun and talking nonsense and never spar.
Awesome video, Sifu Collins! I love wing tzun and you make me love it more! In another of your videos you spoke of having been a student of boxing and wrestling. I am curious with that background and fight experience from 2 of the most tested fighting styles, what drew you to and has kept you invovled in wing tzun? Just curious. Please keep doing more videos like this!!!
Beautiful video !!! I'm a wing-chun practicer for 5 years, not basic style (dragos wing-tsun) and i become to feel partner reaction. For me wing-tsun is the word ART in martial arts. Thanks for this video.
So Awesome Sifu Chris Collins, been following your videos and wonders about wing Chun, Great And Truly Inspiring indeed ❤️❤️ more power to you and God Bless 🙏
This is not an insult so please forgive me, with all due respect I just wanna ask why does wing chun hand-fight a ton instead of attempting to go straight for the head or body?
It’s a very good question. It’s not that we are ‘hand fighting’ the objective is to be able to hit and not be hit. So we must ‘momentarily trap the arms from being able to strike us while we are striking them. Not that we are actually trapping the arms. It’s more like being able to create a small opening to strike and force your opponent into a counter or defensive movement. Keep in mind, chisau is not fighting or free-fighting. It’s a way for us to develop sensitivity so that we have a reaction to changing force. Once a practitioner has a grasp of this in chisau I definitely force myself and my students to utilise it in free fight training at the school. Not everyone wants to be a fighter, that’s ok. But adding a bit of pressure testing is always good and wakes the student up to what he or she can and cannot apply when your opponent is not your ‘wing Chun training partner’. As an example: when I box I have very good timing inside the pocket. I’m comfortable there while being efficient. When I’m wrestling there is a lot of hand fighting. My background in wing Chun absolutely gives me an advantage when I’m training with pure wrestlers. And with my JiuJitsu again there is a lot of grip fighting. My wing Chun has been such a huge skill for me when I’m dealing that. Like I always have stated, wing Chun changed my life and how I think and approach my martial arts training as well as other areas like my carpentry. It has been essential during my journey.
The problem is U have only been tought external wing Chun. U have not been tought the real internal systems of real WC. U been had like the 4 odd million people who practice WC of today. Just as a thumbs up.u been had my friend
Although I am not a fan of your lineage, your skills are close to excellent, and you're hearing that from a 50 years old martial artists for 40 years (25 years in Wing Chun in 5 different lineages), so congrats and keep it up, hope we'll meet one day.
Love all of them. I did in my 20’s but only for experience. I wish I could do it now as I’m experienced and very technical, but I’m in my 40’s. It would only be 1 or 2 fights if I decide to do it again
You're amazing Chris. Hopefully once this pandemic is all over, I'll arrange a time to go to Hong Kong (never been before, but always wanted to explore) and visit your Martial Arts school - From one of your fans in Australia.
Hello sir, I don’t know if you’ll see this but I thought it was worth commenting anyways. I was on the fence before, but you have inspired me to begin a similar journey based on an opportunity that has recently presented itself. I am going to take my own martial arts journey, not with Wing Chun, but through my own path that fate has revealed - Southern Mantis. I will start soon and I haven’t been able to sleep the past few nights because I am just so excited. I just wanted to thank you for lending me the courage to begin.
I would love to see this guy and the MMA guy that challenges old kung fu masters have a go at it. That would be interesting both have a little MMA background BJJ too That would be interesting. :)
tough call as the MMA guy, called Xu Xiao Dong, has a clear size advantage but isn't much of a ground fighter. i think they'd get along quite well though lol
I have a question, Sifu: Is there a way that I can train sensitivity, without a partner. You know, for things such as trapping, and arm immobilization?
The short answer, NO. but you can train patterned responses so that you are quicker with your reactions. You need feedback for true sensitivity training I think
I just watched Ip Man 4, great performance my guy. It's so scary how wing chun practitioners are so fast, too fast even. People say it won't work in a real fight, but I say this: if you can throw a punch before your opponent could blink, you already won. And Wing Chun does exactly that.
Really wish I learned a respected martial arts and not MCMAP where I broke my fingers after an eye gouge 😂. I wish you success and prosperity in all endeavors Sifu.
I never thought about lineage when I started. I just found a good sifu that I trusted and his students exhibited good movement based on what I believed to be good wing Chun
@@SifuChrisCollins Thank you for replying! Never even realized you would. The reason I asked this, good sir, is because I was learning Wing Chun on a way I can, so I was asked by this person who brags about his lineage, saying I am a fake wing chun practitioner because I don't have a lineage background. So learning from youtube also or those without lineage according to him is fake. It breaks my heart!
