Review – Chuck O’Neill – Wooden Dummy Form

chuck oneill wooden dummy form sections 1 to 8 review

There are as many unique interpretations of Wing Chun’s Wooden Dummy sequence and sets as there are actions within its form. Sifu Chuck O’Neill offers up his unique brand of presenting his teaching methodology through the Wooden Dummy set, as learned from his Sifu Nelson Chan (a student of the late Sifu Moy Yat). Audience members familiar with the carved Wing Chun Kuen Kuit created by Moy Yat will enjoy the translated quotes that appear edited into the introduction segment of this video presentation.

clive poter chum kiu review

“Chum Kiu is when you put words (from) letters together to make sentences,” quotes Sifu Clive Potter of Wong Shun Leung’s simplified definition of the system’s second form in the introduction of this seminar class. This next stage of forms training is communicated to the audience live from the classroom floor and broken down into three sections bridging the parallels and gaps from concept, to practice, to application.

Review – Austin Goh – DVD 11: Wing Chun Combat

Austin Goh Wing Chun

When I was given the opportunity to be the DVD reviewer at WCI, I jumped at the chance, and I made a promise to myself that I would be honest and unbiased when it came to lineage and always review the DVDs on their instructional merits.

So here we have Austin Goh’s Wing Chun Combat and I am sorry to say but it is the worst DVD I have reviewed thus far. I shall explain why.

Review – Sifu Taner & Sifu Graziano – Wing Tjun: Bju Tze Form

Sifu Taner and Sifu Graziano Yip Man Wing Tjun Bju Tze Form

Once considered by many to the be the “elite” form of the system, the DVD Biu Tze Form is succinctly broken down into sets, complete with Sifu Taner holding center stage with a one-to-one lesson. Pointing the viewer in the direction of how each technique is played, and the concepts that support them. An information-rich hour that gives the practitioner deep insight into the third form.

What is the price of learning Wing Chun?

wingtsun

It is relatively common for a Sifu to spend over $150,000 acquiring their Kung Fu knowledge. For those who are not familiar with Sifu Fernandez, he is one of those people. He devoted the majority of his life to martial arts, WingTsun and developing his own system called WingTchunDo.

After devoting such a long period of time mastering any type of martial arts, it can be very tempting to try it out “in real life.”

However, in this post, Sifu Fernandez leaves us with a cautionary tale…

Win a free pair of our Butterfly Swords!

Win a free pair of our Butterfly Swords (up to $449 in value) when you share your Wing Chun Pictures and Videos with us!

A lot of you, our kung-fu brothers and sisters, ask us to promote you and share your pictures and videos on our social media sites. Generally speaking, we do not do this because we are a neutral organization that supports all versions and lineages of Wing Chun – and promoting certain people or lineages that are not selling products via our site would look like favoritism towards a lineage or Sifu.

However, we do want to promote Wing Chun and many of you also really deserve recognition as well. So what we have decided to do is ask all of you to send us pictures and videos that we can use on our sites (Facebook and Google+, etc). This will give you a chance to get seen by tens of thousands of dedicated Wing Chunners; and will help us promote Wing Chun in all of its variety.

Thoughts on Designing Wing Chun Butterfly Swords

Recently, I was very lucky to sit down and chat with the owner of Modell Designs LLC, Jeffery Modell. Which is the company that helped Everything Wing Chun with the design many of their mid to upper-end Wing Chun Butterfly Swords.

Before I started my conversation with Jeff, I had one main question in mind, “how does one master the art of producing great butterfly swords?”  The journey of learning how to design swords is nothing like I expected.  I originally thought it started with long nights in garage, hammering away at steel and similar metals until you finally figured it out.   It turns out a designer of swords starts out very differently; it starts with the NEED for a good weapon.
