4.0 out of 5 stars Wing Chun Kung Fu Volume 2 by William Cheung, October 16, 2004

Wing Chun Volume 2 by William Cheung

This Volume of Wing Chun lessons demonstrates the Bil Jee form, the third form of Wing Chun after Sil Lim Tao and Chum Kilj, both of which were demonstrated in Volume 1. The demonstration is done twice by William Cheung. After the second demonstration, William Cheung's assistant performs broken sequences of moves from the Bil Jee form for which William Cheung explains and demonstrates the application of the sequence of moves.

Next, William Cheung instructs about the pressure point targets on the body of the opponent to strike. This is called dim mak in chinese. In Japanese styles, it's called atemi or sometimes kyusho.

William Cheung prepares us for Chi Sao, a very unique exercise to develop ambidextrious skill in hand techniques, reflexes, harmony with the opponent's kinetic energy to sharpen perception, timing and in general fluid execution of techniques, by having us practice the moves of Chi Sao with one hand while the other is stationary on the hip. Then, the other hand is put through the same drill while the first hand is held stationary on the hip.

William Cheung gradually instructs us into using both hands in Chi Sao exercises and introduces techniques, tactics and short strategies to trap the opponents hands and arms to open up his defense and imobilize his arms by thoughtful manuevering and keeping William Cheung's "BOEC" strategy in mind while looking for the moment of opportunity to execute the strategy.

This series of Wing Chun videos and DVD's is full of useful tips to use in any style of fighting. Any serious martial artist will appreciate the wealth of practical application of the moves demonstrated by William Cheung and his assistant in this series.

To sum up:

This guy is a fake. If you're interested in Wing Chun, don't buy anything with William Cheung's name on it.

Why is he a fake? What's fraudulent about it?

I'll put it like this....

Let's say I took 3 or 4 years of Gracie Jiu Jitsu as a teenager, then at age 18, moved to a country where GJJ wasnt taught. I open a school and claim to be Red Belt (highest rank in GJJ), and what I don't know in GJJ I just make up or import from high school wrestling. To explain the differences in my school compared to real GJJ schools, I make up a story about how, before he died, Helio Gracie taught me and me alone a "secret", "superior" system. Oh, and when ALL the Gracies dispute my claims, I say stuff like, "They're just jealous that Helio only taught them the watered-down, commercial version of GJJ".

Well, this is EXACTLY what William Cheung did.

What's funny is that when you tell the exact same story, but replace Wing Chun with GJJ, and Ip Man with Helio Gracie, people can instantly see how ridiculous this story is.

Anyway, if you are interested in Wing Chun, don't buy anything with this guy's name on it, if only because it's not really Wing Chun, anymore than high school wrestling is Gracie Jiu Jitsu.
