I personally think they're fine!

This isn't even close to what the original was, the video's been replaced with a Street Fighter 4 video, not the original 3, where A Ken Vs. Chun Li match was being played. As such, i'm re-claiming the *dead on this.

Well anyone with a clue should agree that there are higher and lower forms of martial arts.

Ch'i is NOT some fantastic mumbo-jumbo and anyone talking-shit about Wing Chun, Wushu, or Qigong has head-in-ass syndrome and has watched shitty Hong Kong action films and MMA-masturbatory matches to arrive at their conclusions, which are in fact, horseshit.

And this is why I don't bother with these debates any more.

I don't care what you think you know about Aikido or Systema or Wing Chun or Tai Chi or whatever else you want to hate on.

It's not all about "proving" yourself in an MMA match or "on the street" or whatever other made up scenario you care to concoct.

If you are a better person for having studied your art.... that's all there is to it.

I've seen some "Master" Wong videos before and assumed he was parody but, now that I've seen his website, I can confidently say he's a fraud.

Every technique demonstrated in this video is completely counter to the fundamentals of Wing Chun. Wing Chun was designed for people who are at a size and strength disadvantage, thus it's core tenet is never compromising your defense. For this reason, you never twist past centerline (and even then only when very advanced) and you rarely break contact with your opponent's arms/hands once established.

Any competent boxer or Wing Chun practitioner would break this guy down with little trouble if this is really what he's practicing.

This vid's long, but the guy comes up with an actual solution to being attacked by a boxer. He even admits that a wing chun fighter is in trouble when going up against a boxer.

Found the fix, but it is already sifted... *dupeof=http://videosift.com/video/Chun-Li-is-Jealous, just the front and back of the video got cut off...

Since the video is dead and nobody will see it, @ant can you give this an is dupe so it goes to the right video? EDIT: Just noticed the other is yours. LOL.

I like the video. He zoomed in on Chun Li's crotch.

Not sure if he's knocking on the door or trying to kick it down, Chun Li Lightning Kick style

She's had martial training, you can tell from her form-She twirls the long staff well enough, has a well-oiled sense of her center, quite grounded-BUT, if she wants to be a Ninja she's needs to be able to scale vertical obstacles with only the texture of the stone and the mortar seams to hold on to.

the last 3 comments....Remember Bruce Lee? He was taught by the best (IpMan-Wing Chun styles) and his version of martial arts was an amalgam of several styles. He called it Jeet Kune Do and the Chinese purists were saying the same thing about his hybridized, eclectic form.

Y'all remember Bruce Lee right?

This chick would throttle most posers.

That's quite likely.
I might liken it to some glass-blowing videos. There must be some out there where the technique is flawless but perhaps the end result isn't that showy or interesting. And the same with martial arts. The bottom line is I do need to apply some sort of filter even if it's only my gut judgement.

Well what precisely is skillful about this clip? Looks like a guy doing interpretative dance - slowly.

Thia guy pretty much single-handedly fast-tracked western cultures on the road to Chinese martial arts development-As well as being an extremely fluid practitioner of Wing Chun, he was able to transmute the art across time and space in his lifetime to what we know of today as the evolution of Kung Fu.
It qualifies dude, take my word for it.

Like some other submissions the problem is the skill is implied but not shown. I'm sure the dude is awesome but we need to see him doing something awesome.

I think in this case, to be the judge of whether he is doing something skillful you'd need to be versed in the forms he is displaying.



Ahhhhhh! Thaks mate, I agree whole-hardheartedly with your self-composed criteria. It is, after all, a subjective judgement that moulds any course or ruling. If you watch this with a limited background in the history of the Chinese martial arts it does look as if this old codger is lilting around his flat practicing some form of mime or interpretive dance.
This cat kept the torch burning on the southern Shaolin art of Wing Chun-The system was developed during the Shaolin and Ming resistance to the Qing Dynasty and has been passed-down exclusively through direct transmission from practitioners until this last century, when his student, Bruce Lee (who makes it look so skilful as to be psychedelic at times) who was able to transform the art by making it available to the entire world. Quite a feat for an old Chinaman who survived the Japanese occupation and the Communist takeover, both some very hellish times and experiences in the "against all odds" category.

The mans' a legend and that feeble-looking dance translates into his 90-yr-old ass clearing a room full of thugs with hammers, knives and sharp sticks!

That's quite likely.
