I was taking Wing Chun kung fu from a local instructor for a while but had to move. Where I moved they had no instructors, so I figured the best thing I could do was order some DVD's to keep my training accurate in as much as possible with a video. I was suprised how informative these dvd's could be.

Pro's:
Each form is covered in great detail from different angles and both slow and fast so you know what to work for, while explaining each move along the way.
After covering the forms in detail, the dvd continues on showing the importance of each move and it's applications with sticky hands freestyle fighting.
You'll break a sweat after following the forms practice. Great exercise.

Con:
Nothing beats real world practice from a qualified instructor.
The video obviously isn't a Dreamworks production. Still you dont miss a thing.

summary:
If you're looking for something to have for study or home practice, this dvd is perfect. If you're new to Wing Chun, you really should have some real world training and use these as training aids. It's the only way to learn sticky hands fighting anyway.

I ordered
WING CHUN KUNG FU 4 - SIL LUM TAU & APPLICATIONS

WING CHUN KUNG FU 6 - BIL JEE & APPLICATIONS
WING CHUN KUNG FU 2 - WING CHUN STICKY HAND PRACTICE

Wing Chun is a close-up combat style that stresses quickness and discipline of motion. It uses low kicks and many defensive moves to let you oppenent unbalance themselves. On this video #4, I think that Sifu Chow has done a very good job explaining the first of the three forms he demonstrates in this video series.

This video explains the kata, the practice of the movements, you must learn when beginning Wing Chun. In my Tae Kwon Do class the instructor said we should proctice the forms 500 times to be proficient. With the instruction provided in this video you should be able to perform this form correctly. I would advise getting this the 4th in series, video number 2 for sticky hand practice and video number 3 on free sparing, all together. The first video on fighting applications is also good but you could wait to get that one, concentrating on first understanding and practicing the forms on videos 2, 3 and 4 together. I highly recommend the series.
