Review – Gary Lam’s Fighting Strategy Seminar

Gary Lam is very well known and respected in the Wong Shun Leung Ving Tsun community, but to other lineages he may need a brief introduction. Gary Lam trained with Master Wong Shun Leung for fifteen years and served as the instructor at Wong’s school for an additional six years. As Wong Shun Leung’s top student, Lam put his Wing Chun skills to test by entering many tournaments and defeating the opposition. He was crowned Hong Kong Full Contact Tournament Champion in 1978-1979. In 1991, his Wing Chun peers in Hong Kong elected him the President of the Hong Kong Wing Chun Society. Fighting Strategy is one of many Lam titles available from Cranes Production and focuses on the plans and tips you need to improve your overall fighting ability—in the ring and on the street.

Review – Everything Wing Chun Dummy Pads

This is a Customer Testimonial for leather our Mook Jong pad.  We have a number of them, but Brad was kind enough to provide pictures! We like the home-made dummy setup – very cool, Brad – and thanks for the kind words!:

“As soon as I received my leather Mook Jong pad, I was eager to test it out so I could finally give my wooden dummy some decent strikes without having to worry about hurting myself. I wrapped it around the dummy and strapped it on and it was a perfect fit! (my dummy is 9 inch in diameter) I tested it out with various strikes, and found it to be very

Review – Robert Chu Masterclass Wing Chun Kuen

I once listened to a podcast by Karate pioneer Iain Abernethy that promised to reveal “The Biggest Secret in the Martial Arts!” I listened with excitement until Iain revealed this bombshell: Martial Arts can actually be fun! Simple, but true. And this is the first thing I would say about this DVD set: it is great fun and I thoroughly enjoyed viewing each of its volumes.

Review – Chu Shong Tin’s 2003 Seminar

This DVD came to me in a clear plastic box and features a DVD-R of a seminar given by Chu Shong Tin, which took place on August 24, 2003. The lack of a proper cover may disappoint the consumer looking for a nice title to add to his collection, but the Wing Chun purist will be more than happy with what is actually on the disc itself. [EWC Admin Note: Since this was written the DVD started shipping in a full DVD case, so the comments about the plastic cases no longer hold true.] This title focuses on the Siu Nim Tao and Chum Kiu forms with the last programme focusing on Chi Sao.

Review – James Sinclair’s Wall Bag Training DVD

What it’s about: 

This DVD covers the essentials of Wing Chun Kung – Fu wall bag training, its associated warm up exercises and applications.

Comments:

Wing Chun as in many of the Chinese martial arts has training equipment unique in developing one’s power and skill in combative applications. Although most martial artists are aware of the Mook Jong or wooden dummy, used in training, perhaps many are unfamiliar with the three section wall bag in developing power. The first part of this DVD provides a great deal of time on the proper exercises or warm ups to prevent injury and damage to the internal organs, because of the acupuncture points associated with the fingers. So caution is given in preparing the hands and knowing how to strike the bag to minimize soft tissue damage. There are Chinese herbal preparations which are taken orally and herbs applied externally to the hands to promote the healing process. If you’re able to obtain the correct herbal preparation you actually could make the muscular of the hands far more lethal.
