[A Joyful Proces]

Hi folks, here's a video Si Fu Leo Au Yeung produced as an introduction to his wing chun, covering chi sao, wooden dummy, applications, power generation & usage, etc.

He put a lot into this.

Thoughts? Does it bring up any points of discussion?

Its ok for beginner ,it will give you a point of reference and a little experience.

Cheers

liked it until the street scene which was straight out of la la land. Would be good to meet sifu yeung though his wing chun looks good

His dummy form didn't look bad, but when I got to the chi sao part I had to stop watching. Though probably very fast and sensitive, I didn't see what I consider to be good wing chun.

Too many clips of partners doing no-resistance drilling. It hurts my eyes.

And why is that?

In viewing the clip, I don't think I could determine the quality of his wing chun by the dummy work. The chi sao is not and never was intended to be done by resisting opponents. It is a simple drill that teaches you how to use your attack and defense techniques at close range. You share with the training partner so to speak. He applies an attack technique and you reply with a defensive technique, but you both do it as smoothly as possible. Not supposed to act like you are sparring or something. I never took chi sao that far. It is a simple drill. Drills help you develop fluidity in your techniques. Chi Sao will not serve you beyond that point. It is not the way you fight. Once you walk out the kwoon door you will never meet another Wing Chun fighter unless you go looking for one, and it might take you a long time unless you go to another Wing Chun Kwoon.
