Sifu Francis's face is pure love and happiness when Kevin figures out the concept on only the 2nd try. Very quick learner and a blessing.
Sifu is such an amazing teacher!
@@KevinLeeVlog Would love to take some lessons not only from Sifu Francis, but you also. But you live too far away from me to walk to you Kevin... I do not drive lol
oh yeah
@@KevinLeeVlog how do you train with Francis Fong online?love his skills and super interested to put in time to learn.
I am so appreciative that Sifu Francis is willing to share his knowledge here and that Kevin facilitates that. Really feels like something special to learn from someone with so much experience
Thank you!
I would love to be taught any martial art with a Sifu as knowledgeable and passionate as Sifu Francis. Always in awe watching these, seeing someone so in tune with his craft.
He is amazing!
I wish you luck on your journey a teacher like this is unforgettable!
I used to laugh at these videos. I thought they were BS. Then I started training judo and jiu jitsu and realized the hand fighting is what sets up the attack. Came back to this and holy shit... it's the same for striking. Wing Chun is like the deep study of engagement for all martial arts.
What do you train at the moment?
@@vinzbert4 jiu jitsu
Deep study of patty cake
Some martial arts are good for competition which are set under certain rules ... But some are better in real life situations
@@yeahdaegzzzzz9831 - Do you understand the purpose of Chi Sau? It appears that you think it is actual fighting. Folks like you are a dime a dozen, ignorant and arrogant...it is laughable.
Sifu's understanding is mind boggling. And you, Sifu Kevin are amazing in your own right!
Thank you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
As a 6'7" dai si hing, I am constantly being asked by my sidi how to fight against taller opponents. Thank you Kevin and Fong Sifu.
What is pressing in my mind at the moment is - how to fight best against shorter opponents?
Very insightful look into what you guys do. Thanks for sharing Kevin 😎🙏🏾
Thank you. This is really great stuff. I never understood these concepts before. So well explained!
OUTSTANDING lesson as always !! Plz keep up the great work. LOVE how y'all teach . Peace n God Bless
As a bigger guy (granted with a background in wing chun and other Chinese martial arts), I found that using my reach in striking and superior strength in grappling is a good tactic for more skilled hand fighters.
Attributes are definitely advantages!!
no way!
This was very insightful, thanks for sharing it
Wow! Amazing video! I genuinely laughed out loud watching how everything all came together. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent demonstration!
This is gold! Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure!
I love how you love practice and learn always positive and happy. Personally i love TKD but i respect and admire all the MA styles. Your channel is a joy to watch. Greetings from Greece.
I love this videos, helps me a lot in my kung fu trainings
This is next level stuff. Wish there was somewhere nearby to train this.
That was some great gems of knowledge there!
😮😊 this is amazing … could you make a follow up where you dissimate it a bit (it went a bit fast)… maybe with a connection to the forms …. I would love to see more of this theme.. where there is defence against the straigh hit, hook and kick (against a big attacker/oppponent) . This is brilliant .
it's a pleasure to see Sifu Wong. We clearly see in this video that the most important thing is not the movements, but the structure of the body and working with pressure. Thanks for sharing. the WTACPARIS team.
Wow this is an amazing lesson with sifu Fong . My goodness what we wouldnt have given to see this in the old days . Thank yku for this brother !!! Everyone seeing this should donate $$ love you
I've been getting into Wing Chun more lately due to not being able to practice other martial arts I'm more accustomed to due to disabilities getting worse (I walk with a cane and have back, hip, and shoulder pain constantly even though I'm 31 and it's been a problem since my early 20's) So far your videos on the subject have been super helpful! I'm a bigger guy in height and I have broad shoulders but being 6ft. 3in. tall and broad shouldered I'm also not very strong and I only weigh 190 pounds so I'm a bean pole.
So far I've found the upper body strikes and the grappling most applicable but due to my legs not being the sturdiest, I tend to avoid too many low kicks outside of a couple of basic ones and some sweeps that I like to use for takedowns. Your videos have really opened my eyes and made Wing Chun very viable for me despite my failing body and my limitations, so I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your work and what it has done for me.
Dude this is so good!
Thank you!!
Amazing teaching!
Thanks Andre!!
Keep up with spreading the hand-fighting knowledge kevin
I think both Kevin Lee & Francis Fong are amazing instructors , I hope one day I get to meet them both and learn some Wing Chun.
Such a great principle 💯
Keep these tips coming! Us short kings need to know what works best!
I like the attention to body mechanics in your martial art. Good video.
💯💯💯 thank you!
Literally fight science. Very clever.
Great stuff !
Thank you!
Congrats on getting a sponsor! Well deserved!
Está muy buena la enceñanza
Kevin Lee thank you for your talents in Marital Arts and your willingness to teach these techniques to someone who knows nothing about Wing Chun. Do you give On- line lessons if so what is your Web-site and cost. Thank you!!
Sifu fong is amazing
What a great teacher!
Sifu Francis Fong is the real thing...every time I DOUBT THE EFFECTIVENESS OG WING CHUN, I SEE HIM ON MR LEE'S CHANNEL AND I'M A BELIEVER.
Kevin,Sifu is a genius! He has forgotten more wing chun than I could ever hope to learn lol. You are the luckiest man in the world Kevin! Be well my friend......Stephen
Thank you!!
How long have you been training? If you don't mind my asking.
Its dirty but another trick you can do to help control tall people is step on their foot as you strike them so they stumble or fall. Be careful using this with friends if they fall and you keep your foot on their foot it may break their ankle! ALOT of people leave their lead leg way out and its super easy to simply step on their foot and keep your foot on their foot and trap them.
Refreshingly simple idea. I used to do swordfighting and some schools have had lead leg stabs as standard. Especially italian.
Excellent!
Excelent Sifu !!!
Useful Kev
Beautiful!
I love watching your videos purely on you being a true martial artist. You are a good man.
I appreciate that!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you Sifu ✨
🔥🔥🔥🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Amazing...👏👏👏👏
Thanks Kevin that was Soo cool .I'm 5ft 3 I need help lol
Drinking my coffee to get ready for my WC class at 0900. Perfect timing.
Woohoo!
Thank you
I would love to see a reverse of this video. As a tall-ish guy, it would be very interesting to see how Sifu would recommend avoiding a shorter partner/opponent bringing me into their range using these techniques.
Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!
💯💯💯
People will understand the real power of Wing Chun when they actually experience it in live practice. Many people underestimate the efficiency of a dynamic martial arts like Wing Chun because they don't see any aggression in a Wing Chun practitioner in videos. But Wing Chun is a soft yet most powerful and effective combat system and science.
It's also very situational...Wing Chun isn't designed to fight a boxer or someone that would utilize space and distance. It was developed (said to have been done so by women) to deal with close quarters situations where space and movement is limited between both you and your opponent.
This is GREAT!!
Lynda will love you for this! Now she will beat my long arms even more!! (help)
Hahahahah!! Tell her I say hello!
Very lucky to be with Sifu there
Can I just say that I love that his ad was for a massage chair. I feel like all the martial art channels I see are advertising like survival or tactical gear. I don’t think I’ll ever use a MRE, but a massage chair? That’s a buy 😂
Kevin, does this work against a conventional boxer not using wing-chin
Amazing how can one come train with you guys
Most ppl think WC is BS until that first lop sau and heel palm to the chin
Very very nice
Great exercise for the tall person as well.
💯💯💯
Exactly 🔥
Sifu Fong is AMAZING! Now you're gonna have some more tricks next time you spar Varga! LOL
Hahaha, Varga is so good! But I am down to spar with him again!
Yeah man! You held your own against him no matter how hard he went in! You did SO WELL against a world-class fighter man! It was incredible! i know he was impressed too otherwise he would have went easy on ya! LOL
6:30 The facial expressions and reaction of the tall guy tells you this works. He is clearly experienced, proficient and much bigger, but every time he laughs you know, he knows, he just got caught.
Where is this!?
Great video...👏especially for a shorty like me😂
💥Excellent🕺Instruction💥
Kevin's lethal looking palm strikes scare me 😮😂😅
Wing chun's so underrated, I have a question, do you think that wing chun works best when you have a person cornered or against the cage, to me that's where most of the theory snaps to place and makes sooo much sense, thank you regardless🔥
it works in the closed guard
cages might work with a back up art like bjj but if you get a guy in a corner and linit the movement he can do it can work as long as you train for it, i find blending it with a more agressive grappling style like bjj hand fighting is a good start
Yes, I believe Wing Chun works the best when your partner is immobilized!
@@KevinLeeVlog 🔥🥊
@@KevinLeeVlog Bruce Lee himself said that wing chun works in cramped spaces like in Hong Kong lol. Have you seen some of those shared apartment buildings?
Yeah if you think you will stand head on with a larger opponent you have another thing coming. It's better to move to the blind side to avoid the other arm and leg
I really would like to know whether the sensitivity method (Chi-sao) works when the opponent has heavy clothes on.
It's really good.... Thanks
This teacher is very intelligent
Nice video, but it’s hard to see what Sifu is doing with his elbows from a side shot. Perhaps there is an excuse to buy a camera drone, for overhead shots? :)
wing chun is the "beginning of the fight" you need to have ruthless follow up to stop a Big Man, or it will just piss him off and he will smash you. what if he is a good BJJ man or a wrestler?
That’s why you gotta train in different arts! 🙏🏼
@@KevinLeeVlog I have a concealed weapon permit. Its called "Gunfu"!
@@richardbarton6146in Asia, most country don't allow you to have a gun
Kevin anything will work against a larger, complying, non-resisting opponent as in this video, its just theoretical . Would the sifu test himself on camera against the opposite? If not why not? I think you know.
5:55
when the self appointed experts on social media decided wingChunners cannot fight... someone forgot to send the memo to men like Sifu Francis! 😆
Beautiful intelligence
Francis needs to see his Si Hing Kwok Ying Wah. His chi sau is week!
.... so... how do we use wing chun against a smaller opponent?
❤❤❤❤❤wing chun
I thought the whole point was dealing with a larger stronger opponent.
👏👏👏👍👍👍😁
Yup but....... A actual boxer puts a stop to that slapping wingo chung stuff
So very true or Thai or wrestling but you're supposed to appreciate the art 🎨🎭 and it does still have effectiveness .
Look up wrestling hand fighting to see how someone would appropriately react to this, not complying with the movements of the person using the technique.
control the opponent with elbow stength
With real Wing Chun power, yes. Also..
Very nice 👌

Reminds me of like a flowing Mantis instead of a grabbing Mantis.
Wing chun was developed by monks for women monks. It is about tactical movements to deflect and redirect kinetic force. It is not designed to impart power or defeat your opponent. In my opinion it is great for setting yourself up for the second response which is to utilize some other form of attack, which can be a martial art or use of a weapon. Wing chun looks like it’s for attacking only when a man employs it. Wing chun alone will get the shit kicked out of you.
But in fact, your oponent dont follow your hand, you see in mma, wingchun almost not functioning
Demonstration subjects are trying to be helpful to the sifu and that's great. But I assure you, dear students, when you're pretending that you're losing balance every time your sifu moves a pinkie for example, you're actually not helpful at all, it looks stupid and fake. Especially that dumb trample thing. Nobody actually does that in reality, and at best you're showing that haven't even learned basic balance and basic relaxation in your classes.
I know where this is coming from, it's a common tactic employed by fake martial arts masters, especially in arts like tai chi and aikido that sometimes like to pretend that they use supernatural forces. But Francis Fong doesn't need fakery, he doesn't need you to try to make him look good because he's the real deal by himself. Just be natural, please.
Wow somebody showing real wing Chun…my Sifu will not let us show the actual concept online…
wew... kevin's good but master francis made him look like it's his first time with wing chun lol
I think grapplers could learn a lot from some wing chun sparring.
Everybody is talking about how to fight taller oppenents but no ones about how to fight smaller opponents🤔
Learning for fun is ok😅
Wing chun vs only Wing chun haha
There are other videos for the kind of content you are looking for, my friend.
@@redrenegade7724 but how do you feel about Wing chun vs another?
Sifu Fong is the GOAT 💯💯💯🤙🙂
Why is this stuff never shown sparring in spar gear?!
Sugar Sean Sullivan would destroy both of them. It would be an embarrassment to Sifu. I picked Seam because their weight would be comparable but puck any jiu-jitsu trained fighters and Whang Chung would be no more!
I am 5'3" and have to agree with all the Sifu has taught and can state with experience...it works.
💯💯🔥🔥🔥
Me too (5'3") 60 year martial artist. It's all about getting past his hands. Between that and feet I call it chopping down the tree.
@@garyfujinami9911 I have one favorite punch. Almost no person, no matter the size, can stand it. I've taken down huge guys as a bouncer with it. The liver punch.
@@garyfujinami9911 I'm 63. Been studying and practicing martial arts starting at 13. People who meet me, cannot believe it when I say my age, I guess I could pass for a 40 yr old.
Martial arts, long distance backpacking, nature photography keeps me real young lol.
