Editorial Reviews

The Fighting Art is the final DVD in Master Wong’s exclusive Wing Chun training collection. Dealing with the very core of Wing Chun in its original intended capacity as a fighting art, this DVD will take you into the combat world of the lightning fast and devastatingly powerful Wing Chun Martial Art. Focusing on some of the most important and best techniques from each of the three original forms, the only concern of this DVD is winning the fight and surviving the situation. Picking 45 techniques from the forms and showing you the applications both offensively and defensively, this DVD will take you to the highest possible level in your Wing Chun combat based training. Learn to make the best and most impressive use of the techniques taught and apply them to the real world. Use real time, full force training techniques and partners to learn what it is like to feel the situation and recognize the forces involved, training yourself to deal quickly and forcefully with any opponent. Filmed as always to the highest standards and with Master Wong at his most impressive, this DVD is a must have for any serious Wing Chun practitioner.

This review is from: Wing Chun: Fighting Art (DVD)

First off, just so those reading this will know I have some knowledge in this area, I studied Northern Shaolin for 5 years while I lived in an area where there was an instructor who was from China. Learning from someone in person is the best way but for those of us not living near an instructor this is the 2nd best way. I purchased this DVD along with Master Wongs self defense DVD about a month ago and have been very pleased. I would also recommend William M. Cheung Wing Chun DVD series which I also purchased. I found there is information covered by one instructor that is not covered by the other. So if you are like me and are unfortunate enough to live in an area where no one teaches wing chun I believe it is best to get your hands on as many different DVDs as you can. Master Wongs DVDs are very much hands on and even if you don't have a partner to practice with there is much to learn from these DVDs. Ideally you practice the moves with a partner wearing full body padding (recommend equipment is covered on the DVD) where you can really hit the person and not hurt them but as I already said either way there is much to learn. For the price get this one from amazon (since it can cost twice as much elsewhere) and if you like it I would get the other one and also look into getting the rest of his series which unfortunately at the moment you'll have to get from other then amazon.com as I had to do which I already mentioned will cost you about twice as much per DVD.

I popped this DVD in, and expected the typical, slow-motion "classical" stuff. But the things shown are powerful, fast, and dynamic. They really show you how wing chun can be used in "combat" (real street fights and self-defense situations). This is obviously a very effective "street art" as well as being a traditional art.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is NOT Wing Chun, February 24, 2008

The "Little Idea" was pulled apart, picked over, and repackaged into nothing even close to Wing Chun. The principles are shot to hell here. For example, you don't wail away and overpower your opponent with brute force, you feel your way over the bridge and strike efficiently. His movements are wasteful in the extreme, his stance and center of balance constantly leaving him wide open to a real wingchunner's strike. Whatever this guy is demonstrating, it is far closer to MMA than Wing Chun. Save your money.
