1.0 out of 5 stars Particular Wong, January 19, 2007

This review is from: Wing Chun - Self Defense (DVD)

This DVD might work for someone who has never trained any martial arts.

I had high expectations on this DVD and was dissapointed on Master Wongs performance (or Particular Wong as we came to know him, since every 3rd work is "particular"... which is not a point however).

He does manage to explain the basics of Wing Chun but fails to execute them in action. The main problem is that all his moves are so carefully planned that its like a dance. A Bad dance. Since Master Wong antisipates the incoming attacks he pays 100% attencion on his techniques making him self open to ANY other attack. Which is kind of scary look at. Even though he explains the same things over and over again this DVD is hard to follow. And this is not due the language barrier (I speak 7 languages).

I try not to only complain about the DVD. I pay respect to any one who has devoted them selfs to martialarts. It does have few nice techniques and ideas. But I would not recommend this to advanced practiseners.

I have trained activly for few decades. Several years in China and in Japan.

2.0 out of 5 stars Wing Chun?, January 7, 2006

This review is from: Wing Chun - Self Defense (DVD)

This only resembles Wing Chun at the rudimentary blocking level. Sifu Wong does not explain nor show the Wing Chun philosophy in simultaneous blocking and punching. Also he uses an uncharacteristic style of many kicks.

Wing Chun was originally founded by a woman, thus the hard blocks demonstrated are not the Wing Chun I've been taught. However, there is some value in the video for basic self defense. Is it a good DVD on Wing Chun... No, not even close. Does it show why Wing Chun is typically faster and has gained popularity... again the answer is No.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Techniques and Funny for a good Price, March 5, 2009

By

This review is from: Wing Chun - Self Defense (DVD)

Here is the deal folks. The Wing Chun that you see plastered across the internet is basically a joke. Very few people know the finer points of combat-effective Wing Chun and very few are willing to demonstrate it in a DVD. This is a look at real Wing Chun.

There is no money in teaching legitimate fighting so mostly what is taught are heavy doses of Chi Sao, forms, and basic self defense. Essentially, all that most people know are Wing Chun movements and not Wing Chun. Get a good look at the real thing and enjoy.
