in this footage, Chu Shong Tin (who was coined as the King of Siu Nim Tao by Ip Man) performs this form art his school, in Hong Kong, in 2010 and 2011, only a couple of years before he passes away. These would be some of the last recorded clips of him performing the Siu Nim Tao Form. For those who are not familiar with internal Kung Fu, this is internal Wing Chun at its best!
*A note about this channel the lineage:
Sifu Nima King is the owner and team leader of Mindful Wing Chun, a CST Wing Chun school in Hong Kong with affiliations around the world. Mindful Wing Chun is wholeheartedly dedicated to passing on the internal wing chun method as passed down by Grandmaster Chu Shong Tin who was the longest serving student of Grandmaster Ip Man. Chu Shong Tin lived with Ip Man for 5 years (1950-1955) and was coined the title ' the king of siu nim tao' by his master Ip Man.
He was a legend in the world of Wing Chun (in particular the internal method of wing chun) and spent 64years passing it on full-time before he passed away in 2014. Nim King practiced under hin in Hong Kong for 9 years and established Mindful Wing Chun under CST's guidance. Nima is also on the board of Directors for the 'Chu Shong Tin Alumni' which is a group of senior students of CST that were hand picked by him to establish the Alumni and to uphold and continue his teachings and Wing Chun legacy after he passed away.
Grandmaster Chu Shong Tin was a very humble and low-key Wing Chun Master therefore its only after we began putting his videos online, that people started to hear about him. In fact, majority of the main Wing CHun teachers (of the Ip Man lineage) who began practice in the 50s and early 60s (apart of Leung Sheung and Lok Yiu) were trained by CST even-though they were Ip Man's students. This is due to CST being the most snr and main teacher of Ip Man's school in those days.
Nima was lucky to start his practice under CST in 2005 because that's when CST decided to change his teaching to all internal practice so that he can pass on "Nim Tao' and 'Nim Lik' (the mind power/energy cultivated through internal Wing Chun practice) to his students.
Nima, even though a non-chinese and much younger than the other students of CST, attained a high level of these final teachings. He now mainly teaches the seniors within this lineage and also travels around giving workshops and is working on an online program so that master CST's teaching can have a greater reach.

Long live the genuine and internal art of Wing Chun / Ving Tsun!
I miss him everyday 😢, the world seems a little less without him, I am returning to my training. His voice still resonates in my mind, and I will study the lessons you left in my mind. They are still with me 💜💜
you and I both Wayne. He was truly a special human being
Sipak, Chu Shong Ting it was his character why he reached Nim Tau..in Siu Nim Tau. If you are a fighter your mind focus is more intense and agressive so your energy is more focused to a point. This causes less patience in a student, ' The Yang part of the Ying/Yang circle`. Similar to a young male`s energy, always moving. So students like that need action, they concentrate more on the fighting techniques and want practical useful movements for combat, they are not interest in the slow part of the first section the form. Where as Sipak`s character was patient more interested in the Yin system side and development which is deeper and wider for internal growth like performing a Tai Chi form, a feminine stillness way. Not thinking of fighting more on form and development. My take on it..and relaxation is the journey as you said David Lovegrovemeditation.
For me fully understand now that the higher part is the non fighting part of our development. CST was a real master of Ving Tsun but he had the patience to get there. Not many students have that kind of dedication. He is a great example to look up too and sadly missed. I did not learn any skills from him but by being in his presents and witnessing him that inspired me as my old Sifu Victor Kan and Bruce Lee did.
@@pascodavid Yeah the patience is a must for attaining a high level in this stuff. These days not many have that kind of patience and we usually want to get the results immediately and not many have the time/dedication to put in to get the results.
Very well written. 🙏
Having observed sigung Chu performing sil nim tao so many times and watching videos usually taken front on , it’s really interesting seeing footage taken from different angles. Particularly the first video slightly side on. Watching the placement and focused movement of his elbows is very good. Thanks Nima. Great footage
Yeah its so good that we have these footage of him taken from different angles. they're all great study materials for us
@@MindfulWingChun and for all to see and learn from for as long as RUclips is available. These videos are invaluable for the continued purity of his knowledge. Good on yah Nima. Keep it up. I’ve a heap of footage still from open days and some HK footage which Albert gave me in the mid to late 90’s Got to find time to get it started
@@wingchun-simplekungfu7584 awesome mate. would love to see those footage when you get around to it. Any sigung footage is gold! 🙏🏼
I really enjoy these side and varying views of Sigung practicing the form. Usually we get the front view from every practitioner . This footage gives another perspective allowing further examination of the manner he moves the different arm shapes. Thanks Nima 🙏
I totally agree!
Priceless. Thanks a lot.
My pleasure John, more to come :)
Good share! Thank you!
My pleasure. Thanks for the kind comment
Thank you.
my pleasure, cheers
Awesome. I love the music too
Mikey Mike! Hope you guys are well man and cant wait for Covid to be done with so we can se you and Pat again soon!!
wonderful footage Nima thank you for posting. If you have Sigung performing any of the other forms please share.
sifu Susanna Ho has all six forms, not sure if she has released them. I have copies but don't know who 'owns' the rights
Yeah They are all on youtube. I think Susana has the rights and Simon Swain has got permission to put them up and so he has on his channel.
My Master's Master. I wish I'd made it to hong kong.. Still, glad I got to be around him if only briefly
Yeah its unfortunate that you didn't make it here cause the energy in his school was something very special. But, and not to sound corny, but his energy can live on through our practice, so hope you're training ...
Although this system is based on practicality the real gem of this art is in its simplicity.
100%
Master 😭
🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing. Invaluable demonstration of excellence.
my pleasure :) yeah Grandmaster CST was something else....
God bless your soul you are a awesome sifu
Thanks so much for spreading such positivity Alex. Same to you and your loved ones...
Superb!
🙂🙏🙏
Good one! 🙏
Yeah its Not the best quality but a trained eye can still get a lot out of watching it ;) cheers man
Thanks for the video. Does Master Chu Shong Tin does his sam pai faat section very slowly like Yip Man?
Yes, in his own practice, he used to do it so slow that it looked like he's not moving at all! he explains this in a video I made called 'Chu Shong Tin's own training in the early 50s'
Full respect goes out to my elder Ving Tsun uncle 'SiPak'.
Cheers mate. Hope you are yours are well during these ridiculously hectic global times.
Respect to all. Love to the family 😉👍👍👍
Very Nice, I Like the uneven socks!
haha, yeah it was sock he wore to promote circulation. He had very low platelet count (it was usually between 8 to 10!). his calves were hard as a rock cause the blood was always clogged there
I can perform Siu Nim Tau in many ways but this has to be the most simplest. And economical.
👊🏼
Nice, you got experience in any other lineage apart from Victor Khan's?
@@MindfulWingChun Same as IP man.
Please what is the music backing these forms?
I think it was something titled 'relaxing bamboo chinese music' on RUclips
Awesome!! Whats the title of the sound track?
Not sure to be honest mate. I borrowed it off youtube some time ago now when I made the video so don't remember the title.
@@MindfulWingChun I found the title. Its called Chinese twilight.
Hope you're all well
@@mikemagee9156 well played. you use Shazam?
@@MindfulWingChun NO!
My knowledge and intellect... And when that failed, I shazzamed it 😘
Are there classes in this internal wing chun in the UK?
There is one on Shefield, it's called 'Sung Wing Chun'
There is no sun punch in slt. And also your gates are lock up. This is a mistake. I am sorry and mean no disrespect but look into the original writings. Namely 1855 1856 red boat Yikkam writing. The truth should be told.
This man was coined 'The King of Siu Nim Tao' by Ip Man in the 70's in a Hong Kong magazine. Every Wing Chun elder in HK knows that. Dont worry about old writings man, this man has attained the highest level of SNT that we know of.
@@MindfulWingChun he has no clue. That is 1960 platform. Can and never will be able to handle any strong momentum. Moving slowly, mind power, this is not any thing but fantasy zone. Do this for 10 year and you will find the secret of life...waste of time and energy.
@@cwilkinsonwck 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
a life wasted due to a wrong turn in wc direction at the get-go.
thats ok if you feel you wasted your life. I can help you get on the right track. Its never too late...
