I thought VT was not your cup of tea??

Wow maybe we'll finally get to see some of that "attached" DCF....

Love the picture Robert, looks awfully linear though (for a "non linear" art)...

Any cameo appearances by T. Niehoff ?

[SAAMAG]

I doubt it, because then he'd have to call it "classless" wing chun

I'll tell you... If Robert could have coaxed T to appear in the series then he would have just sold a whole load of copies right here, right now..

No doubt T would never allow himself to be on video..

I'm not on the DVD. FWIW, my adivce to Robert was not to make a DVD -- as I don't think WCK can be learned or taught from video. I think WCK is based on feeling (being an attached fighting method) and that you need to experience it firsthand.

I have an extensive collection of books and vidoes of almost every MA.
I have Robert's book and like it, so the DVD, for me, is just one more for my collection.
And since Robert and I agree on many points, I am sure there will be stuff that I can "use".

I´m looking forward for the DVD. Sifu Robert has a lot to teach and to share.

Whilst I agree that you cannot learn a MA from a DVD, they are a great learning tool in their own right.

DVD's have given me insight (and the net, the tube etc) into how others do WC/VT/WT or whatever. Back when I first learned in the early 90's the world was a much smaller place. The occasional book and video was around, but if I wanted to see how *insert any name here* performs WC then I would have to go to their school. Difficult if they are in HK or Oz or the US (for me anyway).

Also they are a good reference, I have a DVD of Kevin Chan doing SLT. If I want to know how its done properly and refresh myself with his commentry then I will watch it.

Obviously it would be better if I had a question to ask Sifu, but I am sure he would stop answering my calls after the 3rd one in the same evening Then kick my ass the next time he saw me!! A DVD is a quick reference and a way of perhaps working something out myself.

Jim,

For the record, WCK is not a strictly linear art - within the lines, there are circles, spirals, and angles.

Even a straight punch has an inward spiral of the forearm and thrusting of the elbow.

Tan Sao has the same inward and upward spiral.

Jing Gerk is a circular thrusting upwards and through the target.

Even Bik Ma has an upward rising component and a downward sinking motion.

Best regards,

Andreas, you're too kind! You're the man with the rich rare tradition!

How are things in Bamberg?

You can learn a lot from a DVD, as long as you have a Point f reference to what is being taught AND you actually train it with someone.
