It is bias to think that the art of war is just for killing people. It is not to kill people, it is to kill evil. It is a strategem to give life to many people by killing the evil of one person.

It's OK, but they should have put head gear on, it would have made it more honest and the reactions more correct and the counter-actions more true.
Psalms 144:1
Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
A better video....................

I don't think the video should be labeled "Advanced Wing Chun Sparring."
I think it should be labeled "Light-Contact Wing Chun Chi Sau/Goh Sau."
PS - I don't think is 'sucks,' however. I somewhat enjoyed watching it.

This clip's been around for a lil while. I don't believe they're "playing around" in that they're not trying to apply things, I believe they're sparring lightly. All fighters spar at varying levels to include boxers, thai boxers, and even grapplers. No one says that boxers going lightly working on technique is horrible or not able to be evaluated,...so the same is true here imo. Anyone that says all they do is spar at 100% is a liar or an idiot.
These guys have at least made their interpretation of wing chun more free flowing, though many would argue it's lost its structure and hence is more like JKD than WC. However I personally feel that the relaxed movement helps to apply wing chun in a more realistic sense. No one stays rigid and flat-footed in a fight, and if they do they will lose.
Not the "best" clip out there yet but not the worst..but that all depends on your definition of how wing chun should be applied...which obviously everyone here as a different say on that.
"I don't know if anyone is known with the art of "sitting on your couch" here, but in my eyes it is also to be a martial art.
It is the art of avoiding dangerous situations. It helps you to avoid a dangerous situation by not actually being there. So lets say there is a dangerous situation going on somewhere other than your couch. You are safely seated on your couch so you have in a nutshell "difused" the situation."
There are loads of disgraceful WCK videos on the Net. That clip is right up there with them IMO.
It is just some light sparring, using "Wing Chun-esque" techniques.
Technically speaking, they had bad WC (and kung fu) structures and roots, however, if they had picked up the intensity of what they were doing, then perhaps they would have gotten more out of it, even if this would not classify what they got out of it as Wing Chun.
