Review – Sam Chan’s Chum Kiu Level Lesson Plans

Sifu Chan’s IWCMAA Chum Kiu Level Instructors Course focuses primarily on kicking drills and two handed Chi Sau techniques, although there are plenty of drills for improving your Wing Chun hands techniques as well. Like the Sil Lim Tao Level Instructor Series DVD, the Chum Kiu DVD is filmed on location at Sifu Chan’s Kung Fu School. Geared towards the aspiring instructor, this DVD is packed with drills that can be followed in sequence or mixed together to provide a variety of classroom instruction platforms. Like any other aspect of physical training, having an experienced coach to push you is an important prerequisite to achieving your personal best. Although nothing can replace in-person training, this DVD is a great opportunity for those students training in the distance learning course to see what training is like at Chan’s Kung Fu.

Review of Sam Chan’s Chum Kiu DVD

This is by far my favorite and definitely one of Sifu Sam Chan’s finest works yet on the art of Wing Chun Kung Fu. In this volume all of the core movements of Wing Chun are covered in great detail. From basic punching, kicking and footwork to Chi Sau drills and training on the wooden dummy, nothing was held back when making this video. The Chum Kiu form is personally demonstrated by Sifu Chan himself and the Chi Sau segments feature Sifu Chan and his advanced level instructors. How Sifu Chan was able to put so much info into one fifty minute video is beyond me. I highly recommend this video for students at all levels of skill in the fighting art of Wing Chun.

Review – Sam Chan’s Ip Ching Foundations Seminar DVD

At first glance Grandmaster Ip Ching looks like any other ordinary Chinese man in his “Golden Years.” One would not know from his appearance that he was a master of one of the most deadly systems of kung fu ever developed. If fact, even I doubted how good his kung fu could be just based on my own preconceived ideas of what a kung fu master should look like. But after watching Sifu Sam Chan’s DVD of the Ip Ching seminar which he hosted, I was humbled once again by my own arrogance and foolish prejudices. Ip Ching’s demonstrations in this video are very impressive to say the least. His supreme mastery of Wing Chun becomes very evident from the first moment he begins to demonstrate the Sil Lim Tao form. The power, speed, and fluidity in which he performs this form must to be seen to be believed.

Review – Clive Potter’s Seminar on Chum Kiu DVD

What It’s About:

Seminar presented by Clive Potter, on the essential training aspects of Wing Chun’s second form Chum Kiu.

Comments:
If you purchased the first volume of the Clive Potter Wing Chun DVD on Siu Lin Tao, you can pretty much expect the same style of presentation…complete with blackboard diagrams. In his introductory comments he said that Siu Lin Tao is primarily for training your stance…I disagree, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Although he is correct about Chum Kiu’s primary purpose; that is it allows one to learn how to bridge the gap. The gap of course is that distance between you and your opponent…this is particularly obvious when your opponent moves and changes position, one naturally needs to move in a way to close the gap, if one desires to use a technique.

Review – Chu Shong Tin’s Ving Tsun Kuen DVD

What It’s About:

Master Chu presents a discussion and demonstration of the three forms of Wing Chun Kung Fu, Siu Nim Tao, Chum Kiu and Bil Jee. He also provides a demonstration of the Mook Jong set and the Dragon Pole forms both with applications.

Comments:

This DVD is similar to the instructional seminar series conducted in Sidney Australia. However, there are differences in content and explanatory narrative. If you speak Cantonese, you shouldn’t have any problems in understanding what is said and demonstrated. If you have attended the seminars in Australia, or purchased the Master Chu Shong Tin, Wing Chun seminar series from “Everything Wing Chun,” it shouldn’t be a problem for you either. If you’re a beginning Wing Chun student, however, this DVD perhaps would not be the best option for you.

Review – Chu Shong Tin’s 2003 Wing Chun Seminars

What It’s About:

This DVD provides lecture materials and practical demonstrations of the basic principles of Siu Nim Tao Chum Kiu and Chi Sao practice.

Comments:

Master Chu presents a thorough presentation on the historical aspects of the development of Wing Chun. The novice and experienced practitioner in other styles of Wing Chun Kung Fu will discover how and why this system is really an internal system and not necessarily the hard style promoted today by most present-day schools. You might be surprised to find out why the Buddhist Nun Mg Moy created the Wing Chun System, in the first place.
