- Wing Chun master and martial-arts instructor Master Wong rates eight Wing Chun fights in movies, such as "Ip Man" and "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings," for realism.
Wong breaks down the accuracy of Wing Chun techniques and weapons in "Sherlock Holmes" (2009), "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" (2021), and "Ip Man" (2008) and "Ip Man 3" (2015), featuring Donnie Yen. He explains defense and attack combinations in "Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F'" (2015) and "Bangkok Dangerous" (2008), featuring Nicolas Cage. He also looks at the history of Wing Chun in "Wing Chun" (1994), featuring Michelle Yeoh, as well its influence on Bruce Lee in "The Way of the Dragon" (1972).
Wong has been a Wing Chun practitioner for the past 35 years. He teaches Wing Chun, tai chi, and Jeet Kune Do as well as other self-defense techniques through his UA-cam channel and online courses.

Wing Chun Master Rates 8 Wing Chun Fights In Movies | How Real Is It? - Розваги
This mans energy is absolutely contagious, I had a smile the entire time this man explained things
That's why I love this series, as well as gamology's "experts react". The experts they bring on have great energy, and are knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. It's a great example of how to make something both educational and entertaining
He has a youtube account too
Ikr. I wish he was around in the Ip Man franchise as a friend of Ip
I’ve been watching master wong for years he’s so epic
@@caidenonfridge8826 he is fun
Tho he is the original Detroit survival training
He is like all those dumb self defence channels
Just search ramsy and master wong
""10 karate guy can eat a wing Chun guy chew him up and spit him out """
Master Wong is brutally honest.
A true Martial Guy
Too be fair, the reverse is equally as true, 10 wing chun guys would eat a single karate guy for breakfast as well. Its not the style, nobody is going to survive a stand up real fight against ten decently talented opponents. Bruce lee at his peak wouldnt want to face ten other martial artists at once coming for him at the same time.
His advice to being ganged up is to get away the best way
@@chrishubbard64 10 on 1 is always one sided bro. That's why its called a gangbang.
@@chrishubbard64 Wong Is like a Chinese Jamaican + big Shaq. It's cool 😭🔥🔥
hahahaha a true scammer you mean. That guy isn't a master at anything. just a fit youtuber.
This guy could narrate a 6 hour long documentary about the history of knitting and it would be action packed and exciting. This guy needs to do more content!
Hahaha i would watch.
totally agree!
dude... the man got a youtube channel and does some amazing sh*t there...
@@hennessyfaust thats not the same. we dont want an instructor, we want his narrative and brain stuff applied to media
@@mastergwaha I rather let him keep feeding the wing chun culture. There's enough narrative warriors on the internet let's not take experts to do this
I really like how he mentioned that if you're in a real life situation and someone pulls a knife, your proper response is to execute a karate run. No matter your skill level, don't use your hands against a knife, unless you're in a karate romcom and your love interest is a trauma nurse.
And the fact that he said if the opponent is using a shorter weapon, you used a longer weapon if available
I've heard it said before by someone credible, "there's no way to fight a knife fight and not get cut." All this disarming someone with a knife in movies and in self-defense classes, is baloney. When it gets real, you're going to get cut. Probably why this dude says either run or find a weapon.
@@loudandclearmedia I wouldn't advise it but I saw two guys RUN towards a guy with a knife,the shorter fat guy proceeds to kick the knife out of his hands and punch him. Real Walker,Texas Ranger 💩😆🤣
@@loudandclearmedia within 3 steps(not feet) short weapon is stronger. Out of 3 steps, long weapon is stronger
😂 as a karate ka I approve
How do so many of you not know Master Wong?!
Yooo Sensei Seth!
I think because he's pre youtube boxing 🤣
That is what I'M SAYING! he is a bit of a legend
+Sensei Seth Right its been like a decade. By the way your interpretation of the Bartitsu practitioner was really good.
Do it Wong to do it right
Is it just me or does this man sound like he's punching the words out his mouth straight into your mind? A lot of energy
Well said! I was forming this thought myself when I came across your comment: You nailed it, Bang on!
😀😀💪💪👊👊👊
Watch his UA-cam videos. Pretty entertaining
@@masterwong101 I bet if everybody would bring that kind of energy to work, soon there would not be any mountains left to move. Love it!
Everything is a weapon
I loved how even tho Ip Man is like a "legend" he was still like: "there's no way you can take on 10 karate fighter alone"
It's a bit of metaphorical propaganda mixed in, just like the 4th film in the series, it's a lot of symbolism.
Ip Man was a weak skinny 25 foot 90 lbs opium addict.
The movie magic is real. 😄
And he points out why. Since karate is range-based, ten guys could get in on him, and he's not even in position.
@@RJGrady the actual reason is, karateka are a lot more likely to be able to fight for real than Ip Man. Plus Ip Man was tiny. Like, really really tiny.
The real fact is he would get obliterated within seconds.
This master has more energy than the movie scenes he reviewed... 😂😂
Now That's Very Classic Wing Chun
Пустой энергии ,ему только и фильмы пересматривать ..на большее он не способен 😊
Master Wong is definitely a cut above the other experts you see reacting to clips on the internet because whenever he offers a criticism, he immediately follows up with how a person could carry out the action correctly. He's not just criticizing, he's also teaching.
He is really good but they have others. The long sword expert was really interesting.
It feels like he wants to go into the screen and correct the actors
He is actually the worst guy for this job
Research him more
@@vagiasthanasis you could explain some as well, instead of just saying “research him”. Give a reason another than just because you said so
@@iinextesy8694 Probably because he teaches Wing Chun, and Wing Chun isn't effective in MMA so lots of people think it's useless as a fighting style. They don't understand that MMA is a sport, and not everything has to work in the octagon to work in real life.
Might be one of my fave experts so far. Doesn't try to talk up his own martial art, instead actually analyzes the sequences for accuracy with Wing Chun and even talks about the strengths and weaknesses of each martial art. Very informative and he seems to love talking about martial arts. Also hilarious he mentions that people just take turns fighting one on one in movies while they all get beat up individually lol, always been a pet peeve of mine
Now that you mention it, I don't think he talked about himself at all. Normally you get a whole lot of "now what I like to do is..." in these.
Didn't talk his martial art up? One hit one kill? Lol. Not with the strikes used in Wing Chun. Oh, and the one handed choke he was talking about is physiologically impossible.
He’s got a YT channel and entire website he spends talking himself up. Anyways it’s just wing chin. Just looks cool but completely inaffective. Heh heh
@@tycarne7850 he wasnt saying one hit one kill in terms of wing chun specifically but rather fighting in general and if you were paying attention he was saying it to specifically push back AGAINST the idea of wing chuns use of a thousand punches in film. He says that doesnt work.
@@commentcopbadge6665 ineffective at what? Mma? Battlefield? Historical? Cause these are all pretty different. They use swords im pretty sure they could kill a guy. Stabbings generally pretty effective
2:28 I liked the way he said " 10 karate guy can eat a wing chun guy alive , chew them alive and spit them out 🤣🤣
😆😂🤣 Absolutely. It's why Bruce Lee incorporate the JKD=MMA into his arsenal. Wing Chun hardly ever move around unless avoiding hits when it's needed, so getting jump all at once by karate fighters is likely death.
@@drakedraven6961 yeah , wing chun is useless in real fight, it look good only in movies , that's why Bruce Lee found jkd because it have no form and limitations,
@@gamermixy.t3664 it’s not useless more than not you can find something useful from any art or adapt it to become useful
@@gamermixy.t3664 anderson silva.........
@@gamermixy.t3664 Wing Chun is absolutely not useless. Elements from it are extremely effective in real fighting. But in this scenario, core Wing Chun is indeed ineffective.

He would be an excellent narrator for Pride and Prejudice.

Thanks, Captain Obvious @@BuffaloBob-556
Marvel NEEDS to cast Master Wong for Shang Chi 2!
The Legend of 8 rings vs. One Punch man lol.
Nah, he'll be too busy telling Shang Chi how his moves are unrealistic 😋
Maybe as a choreograph instructor
That just not true is it?
The movie will end in 1 Minute ! Master wong would destroy shang hi lol
Please bring this guy on the show more. Absolutely loved his energy
agree!! part 2 please!!
he's a poser. he never trained Wing Chun for real, he clearly "learned" it by reading and watching videos. Can't believe that people are naive enough to take him as a reference in that kind of video. This really is, just entertainment.
@@Bene_Singularis I'm sure everyone is going to believe and take stock in the random saltfest that is Benoit Beauvais. You're clearly the only master of wing chun, and can determine who is a true poser. *facepalm*
@@OptimusGPrime People who actually train Wing Chun know what to think of this whatever your random opinion. You just don't know. Don't get scammed.

😀😀💪💪💪👊👊👊
It's really nice to see videos like this.
This man speaks English in Wing Chun too. Every word has heart and soul and listeners totally feeling his words slapping ears
Been watching Master Wong for ages now. He's so hyped up nowadays. His older youtube videos are sooo reserved
Hey there, my friend! 😄 Remember, life's too short for a serious face all the time! 😆 Let's train hard, laugh harder, and conquer together! 💪🥋
Lmao at him explaining Dragon Ball Z moves. Dude is hilarious but also brutally honest.
it's super though not z .
@@triedge5477 same difference though. You can cry about it.
@@therealdrhankmccoy5047 erm i'm not cry about it. just to point it out though. chill dude. 😅
@@triedge5477 it's the same difference though.
dude is clueless on the subject he talks about.
I’ve trained for roughly 20 years in Kung Fu, Karate, Muay Thai, Sambo .. started at 8 yrs old. This guy I really like. He acknowledges weakness and strengths, distance as a factor etc. whenever in a real fight, it’s all mma kind of. You do stuff not traditional but rely on muscle memory and reflex a lot. He’s not so out there about realities of martial arts. I’m really happy with this presenter!
14:50i remember doing that practice punch, parry back forth until super fast. It’s just an exercise but was so fun to do and actually paid off in a little scuffle in college really well. It was so automatic. I’m 6’ 225lbs when lean and I still talked my way out 99% of the time. It’s always some friend I was getting into trouble for. But yeah, I did this punch or chop, block, parry back and forth and backfist version so much. Flashbacks to all the fun with my brother back in the day. Love this guy.
I was thinking the same myself done martial arts, I can listen him for hours hahaha he was very good explaining, absolutely great video definitely one for the likes.
You can only do kongfu against a weaker opponent. If you get too much preasure 90% of all you've learned goes out of the window... that's why street fights are usually just wild swings and trained martial artists tend to go to MMA rather than their own style.
I also like how he acknowledges certain backdraws of the styles.
I did karate for over 20 years and had a couple of friends doing Win Chun. There where always discussions because they where seriously claiming WT was the strongest style of all. I always thought that every Art has it's merits and flaws and that it comes down to the quality of the fighter much more than on the style he/she uses
Nice to see a master say the same.
@@edi9892 This is literally a style designed to fight against people larger and stronger than you. You're wrong.
As someone who trained in Wing Chun with an actual Grand Master, this video brings back a lot of memories. He's correct in all his critiques, and he also subconsciously points out how people frequently get Wing Chun wrong. It's an extremely brutal and dirty method of fighting, designed to maximize striking power while minimizing stamina drain. Nothing fancy or flashy, and nothing wasted. Rudiments galore.
Hey there, Wing Chun warrior! 💥 Remember, in martial arts and life, keep it simple but effective. 😄🥋
I used to watch this dude and blindly follow his free lessons on UA-cam and after seeing how knowledgeable he is… I now see that he isn’t just a super hyped up guy he’s a real master. RESPECT
I love how he explained wing chun, and gave proper criticism and representation to the art rather than to promote or put down the art. I’ve seen lots of people who talk down about wing chun and say it’s not functional or isn’t a strong fighting style. But it has its uses and isn’t meant to fight and destroy people. Martial arts should be used to defend one self. Happy he can represent the wing chun arts, well done.
Martial means combative, it can’t be limited to the defensive aspect
Wing Chun attacks specific points.
Why they don't use it in sports is due to it's concept. Most of it's moves are directed to immobilize/kill. It's very destructive.
@@Hinshu85 hahahhahahahahhahaha
@@hundefuchs funny until you get your eyes jabbed out or your balls crushed with a sharp kick. laugh that one off..
@@hundefuchs he’s not entirely wrong. There’s a reason mma competitions like UFC have banned a lot of moves, it’s because they’re effective at disabling someone. It’s a gladiator sport, about drawing out competition and kick boxing style knockouts. It wouldn’t be fun to watch or legal if one dude just poked another one in the eye, kicked him in the balls, and chopped his windpipe. Though those are things you could do to be effective in a fight or trying to literally kill someone. Same with motions for breaking limbs, or beating someone up with a long metal pole.
I think Master Wong successfully combined Chinese and British accents.
Good video!
ong
no lie I was thinking the same damn thing my own back home with theirs has been done but his combination might be the first I heard :D
That's definitely a Vietnamese accent.
Hes definitely vietnamese
@@stare4539 the broken English + British was quite a mix!!
I had the pleasure of meeting Master Wong at a martial arts convention a little while back... His enthusiasm and respect for all martial arts is nothing short of admirable and his knowledge is insane!! Great guy 👊
Pasa tu ig , para ver la foto con el gran maestro
I’ve followed this guy for a long time and I learned a lot. Not that I’ll use or practice it in real life but learning these things made me delved into the rabbit hole of martial arts.
Taking a two week Wing Chun course will teach you a tremendous amount of self defense lessons that are applicable to other areas of life.
Don't use his choke defense in real life; it'll get you killed.
from how I've heard it described most to all of these moves are applicable, but they aren't to be used by basic fighters for self defense. If you have no experience fighting you need to start with boxing (or kickboxing) and wrestling. Once you master basic strikes and grappling then you're advanced enough that you can start learning these more advanced moves.
The idea is that Muhammed Ali could have potentially been pretty great at Wing Chun if he had learned, but if you want to be pretty great at Wing Chun first you have to be a bit of an Ali yourself. At least that was my take away when it was explained to me. I'm neither an Ali nor a Bruce Lee, so take that for what it's worth
@@TheDeadman419 Learning Boxing/Kickboxing and wrestling/BJJ is way better than Wing Chun.
@@brandonamezquita4501 better in the sense that it’s more applicable in a real life fight, especially for beginners, yes I agree. That was my entire first point
Master Wong used to teach me when I was a teenager in Ipswich. He was the most legit guy ever, his aura seemed terrifying to me back then but he was, as he is on screen, an incredible teacher and it’s actually kind of mad that I got to do such high grade training with a guy who is now world renowned. And he hasn’t seemed to have aged a day in 15 years lol
He is not legit, I sparred with him and submitted him in less than 30 seconds, great theory he has, but practicalities he does not have
Master Wong is awesome, down to earth, and so much energy.
@@lezamac6 yeah and my father is Barack obama
@@lezamac6 lmfao
@@fornitetwerk1161 I love your response😂😂
Was reading through the comments and saw a lot of people who said master Wong is a fraud and their source? Trust me bro.
This dude is hilarious. Full of energy and spirit 10/10.
Yh
The man is literally enjoying himself while criticizing the movie
I love his energy 💯
This is definitely the best of these series of How real is it. Master Wong was obviously having a good time doing this and he was legit trying to explain every scenes good and bad moments. Plus he didn't let the fame of legendary real life martial artist get passing grades in ridiculous situations, like who else would have the guts to say the Legendary IP Man would've gotten the sh*t kicked out of him if he actually faced 10 karate practitioners all at once. I could seriously watch him do these all day
Props to Master Wong for acknowledging Karate, and also traditional Kung Fu/Martial Arts. All too often, people overgeneralize and try to promote their own style/ideas. Master Wong, however, takes the absolute best approach when he immediately says that behind all those styles, there are different ideas and that those all have different strenghts and weaknesses. 👍👊💪
Great martialartists learn different styles to improve their own style. Take Bruce Lee's Jeet Kun Do for example.
@@King-pv8fk Exactly what my sensei kept telling us! Look at other martial arts and pick up everything that looks useful.
@@mdgeisto8953 Yes. For example people look at Wing Chun as a whole and cast it aside saying 'it is useless', while good martial artists look at all the moves of a style and pick out the useful things and add it to their own arsenal. Bruce Lee did the same with karate and boxing.
And not just martial arts, all forms of movement can help to become a better martial artist. UFC champ Valentina Shevchenko says that learning how to dance helped her in becoming a better martial artist.
@@King-pv8fk ya no it didnt it may of helped her rythem in fort work tiny bit but no wing chub is uselsss bruce lee is overrated aswell he prob new how ti fight but hes overrated
@@King-pv8fk and good martial artist usually train karete muay thai american kick boxing could do dutch instead karete is horrible if u dont hold ur hands up u gotta change stuff but u gotta understand wing chun kung fu is useless
"Because he's a god, he can able to perform that" 🤣🤣🤣
I love this man’s vibe, so much energy and enthusiasm
Honest, realistic, constructive. He reminds me of why I was drawn to (and trained in) this 'family' of Martial Arts. For anyone who is looking for a Martial Art to train in: if your (potential) instructor/sifu/sensei does not give the same response to the knife-scenario as this guy... Don't waste your time (and life) on them!
Trained with master Wong way back in '99-2000, he teaches more than just Wing Chun or he used to anyway, learned a bit about Jeet Kune Do, Chinese Boxing as well as Wing Chun from him.
I believe he does Tai Chi too right?
Ok cool are you still training 👊👊
@@masterwong101 Still practice what I learned, get some refreshers from your videos, teaching my nephew the drills and forms I learned as well, also the simple tricks of locking someone when they try pushing you or jabbing a finger at your chest like they want to start something.
@@jackslater5886 Tai Chi Qi Gong, yeah he teaches that as well, along with Escrima stick fighting, and other weapons training...Still have my set of Rattan and hardwood Escrima sticks, and a couple of training Chinese broad swords.
@@masterwong101 Bro, the fact that he is out here is so awesome!
"10 Karate guys against 1 wingchun guy, I think karate guys will eat the wingchun guy alive" I like that honesty, some masters will tend to explain some dumb technique to get out of the situation.
Well, they'd certainly be right if that technique was escaping and losing your aggressors.
Bruce Lee claimed a single boxer with a year of training would beat a Wing Chun guy with 20 years.
This is fantastic! I love the master's enthusiasm. Could watch hours of explanations and demonstration from this man.
This was the best critique video I've ever seen. The explanations, combined with the Master's energy and love of his craft, makes this a perfect video. 👍🏾👍🏾
Good to see him here and get the credit he deserves. People need to respect this dude, Master Wong.
Until he spars with Ramsey Dewey he will forever be seen as nothing more than a actor.
I find it so refreshing to hear someone really explain everything down in a more simplified manner. I can only imagine what a great teacher, and mentor you are to people. Keep up the great work. Honestly, i loved the line with a person with a knife. Im looking for an exit to run. I.e. your going to get cut.
I absolutely love Master Wong's explanations and his enthusiasm is unwavering! I need to find more content with him!
The best expert showed up in this channel by far. You can feel his excitement that shows how he loves his job and teaching it.
Finally Master Wong is showing up as the master. He's the best.
Your daaamn right👏🏼
I love him
🙏🙏👊👊💪
@@masterwong101 honored! Been following your videos for years.
yes master wong is great, he got me interested in martial arts when i was younger.
there was a lot of hate towards him from pedantic busy body mma people but many people can see theres more to it than what they were saying
He did such a great job explaining the scenes and techniques. I practiced Wing Chun myself and he really explains the basics and details in such a professional but yet excited way, I'm really digging it.
Do you have any pointers on figuring out from first impression and/or my first class if a school is legit traditional Wing Chun or a watered down version? I have done little bits of Karate, Jiu-Jitsu, Taekwondo, and Tai Chi (less than a year each), but most recently and for the longest time Wushu. My main interest is Wing Chun so I'd like to be able to find a high-quality school.
If, for example, they require info about you before joining and reserve the right to reject for any reason (one particular one in my area does), could that add to potential credibility? If they say they teach through a specific lineage, how likely is that true? If a known instructor such as Willian Cheung visits periodically is that a green light?
@@mikeexits Lineage, tradition, secrecy and exclusivity are generally signs of bullshido happening. One or two are not a definite warning sign, though, many martial arts teachers have a historical interest in their arts and may be enthusiastic about lineages and traditions. Japanese martial arts, in particular, tend to stick to the traditional ceremonies of sitting with your legs folded beneath you and bowing, "it's good for discipline".
What to look for is, in general, sparring with resistance. If wing chun is taught, for instance, and you're only allowed to "spar" using chain punches -> the many saos -> chi sao, then the only resistance you're encountering is in-style resistance, which works well within one set of rules - see arm wrestling, for instance - but is less generally applicable as self defense.
Names can be good. If you want to learn William Cheung's style of martial arts, and he periodically visits, then you're likely to be able to learn the same style as he is using. I worry more about my own ability to defend myself than specific style, so I look to the resistance sparring.
If you want japanese one check NHK arena and most of NHK martial art, for kenjutsu depends if you want solo if you want AOE Rurouni Kenshin iirc he is inspired by an irl figure in Japan i forgot check Shogo. Musashi dual blade style, differences of juudou way of the soft vs juujutsu style of i forgor
Master Wong sounds VERY passionate and intelligent in this video. I love the way he explains and corrects things. WE NEED MORE OF THIS GUY🔥
I’ve been following Master Wong for years, he is only based 45 minutes from me, been wanting to join his academy for years. Love his content over on his channel. He breaks down every move, in real scenarios. Great guy.
I appreciate that he's specifically breaking down the use of Wing Chun, though I'm fairly positive that, in the case of the Sherlock Holmes movie, some of it is actually a mix of Wing Chun and other styles, which addresses stuff like "He did more of a boxing movement there."
Wing Chun was influenced by Western boxing - Queensbury rules. Stance is the same, it's what the sailors used at the time
Yeah I watched a video with RDJ a time too. He practices Wing Chun and he's good at it. He understands it.
I'm pretty sure he says that RDJ practices Wing Chun...
@@jag1309 but Sherlock isn't primarily *using* Wing Chun.
@@selonianth Yes looks like you are talking about the accuracy of the movie while I was talking about the accuracy of commentary. Either way was an excellent video love his knowledge and energy
Definitely vibing with this man's energy. You can see he has a passion for his art and deserves the students he's earned.
Fr
So happy that Master Wong was given this platform. His channel is great and he’s always this enthusiastic about Wing Chun.
I love his energy! I also loved the, “my friend getting up, hold on, is it my turn”😂 This was one of the best videos of this series I’ve seen. I’d like be to train with him or even just be around him. He seems like such a dope but humble man.
Well. I think I love this guy. How have I never heard of him?! The dude's energy is just infectious. Incredibly knowledgeable...and the man knows his Kung-fu flicks! Blatantly as real as it gets.
And his shout out to Prodigal Son...that's my favourite classic Hong Kong martial arts film of all time. Yuen Biao ABSOLUTELY kills it in that film. Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung became the bigger stars, but Yuen Biao was next level when he was in his prime. He could pull off that real Wing Chun style, but also some of the most acrobatic feats of Kung-fu movie goodness at the same time. Check out his work with Jackie and Sammo, but in Righting Wrongs/Above the Law...Yuen Biao ABSOLUTELY KILLS IT; His fights against Melvin Wong and the legendary Peter Cunningham are just phenomenal.
👊👊💪💪💪 it’s all about passing
He has a UA-cam channel. Pretty entertaining
@@masterwong101 Brother you got me wanting to start training again. Never had the opportunity when I was younger at all to learn Wing Chun; Was a Shotokan/Kyokushin (and traditional jiu-jitsu) kid until work became an all-encompassing, 24/7 responsibility/necessity.
You got me looking up martial arts classes like I'm not 37 years old or a physical (but extremely good looking, considering) absolute shambles of a man whose entire strength is focused in his left elbow that is used solely to prop himself up against the bar in his local boozer...
Actually some people have beef with him iirc
Best thing I've heard, if I remember correctly, he said in a fight, do not instantly do the Wing Chun stance, just be free, be flexible, move your body according to your opponent so you can move out of harms way fast. Then when you attack/parry/deflect/block, that's where the Wing Chun comes in, after that back to being flexible.
be water, my friend :)
Yes it's called hard vs soft. It's WC philosophies 101.
Master Wong always impressed me with his genuine desire to share his wisdom. This is great. As a chunner for over 10 years myself i cant express my joy at the similarity he shared with my own fave WC movie fights. Prodigal Son is the best showcase, Bruce Lee..enough said there, and 3rd was that splendid display by Donnie Yen and Max Zhang. Thanks for all your encouragement, Master Wong! 👍
Loved this. Thank you!
I like how he's honest with his opinions and not biased like most traditional Martial Artists, who're like "you can use Tai-Chi to 1v100 guys with minimum difficulty"
This guy is like "1v3? It's unlikely but if you're fast enough you'll win, 1v10? You're cake boyo' you don't stand a fraction of a chance"
Perhaps he changed. I haven't watched him for a while but he was very memed upon by a lot of people in the martial arts community, not just on UA-cam but globally.
Also 1v3, 1v10 and 1v11 are all documented fights that has went down where the 1 person won vs 11 armed assailants using only his styles signature weapon: a pair of scissors.
@@CancerArpegius Still memed on. Still refuses to talk about his where he learned anything. Wing chun boards still claim he is not master. Self defense school still show how ineffective his techniques are. I think Detroit Urban Survival training stole much of the meme spotlight though.
15:30. Time and time again, even if you're a martial artist, someone with a fighting background, or someone who knows a thing or two about disarming, at the end of the day the best option is to run.
I agree. That’s why the first thing he said was if you have nowhere to go. Basically if you’re in a situation where you can’t run.
@@aquaticlibrary Yup. If the choice to flight is unavailable, then fight it is.
Flight or fight! I like how Master mentioned to run, if able to.
Studied Isshinryu years ago for a few years, and the most important question for my first real belt was what to do when faced with a knife -- the correct answer was to expect to get cut and to run as soon as possible. My dad taught me to box when I was a teen, and karate perfected it -- I can still break a board! Being able to throw a good punch is a handy secret tool as a woman. 😃
Absolutely. When I taught self-defense and karate, the first thing I always told my students was "if they ask for your wallet, GIVE THEM YOUR WALLET! You can replace a wallet a lot more easily than you can heal a major injury!"
Ive had Wing Chun lessons that i wanted so badly, i was super satisfied and now i see Master Wong react to how real action scenes are omg imma cry :'D
I used to watch Master Wong a long time ago. I'm glad he's being recognized like this.
Dear Insider
please show this Wing Chun Master gameplay clips of Sifu so we can get his reactions and how it compares to reality!
OMG YES!
YESSSS!!!! I would also love to see him react to Leroy Smith
The game sifu doesnt use wing chun kungfu, the creators said the kungfu is pak mei
That's not Wing Chun in the game, it's Pak Mei. Which is basically Wing Chun on steroids when you break it down. Much more aggressive style.
@@gagetaylor192 I understand it's Pak Mei I saw the videos of the devs explaining the style of martial arts leading up to the release of the game. I'd still like to see Master Wong's reaction to Sifu though regardless of the fact that it's not Wing Chun
The experience just radiates off of him and his energy is contagious! Would LOVE to learn from this guy!
Informative thank you
Absolutely loved this man's commentary. He's great at it and II would want to learn from him if I could
Master thinks quick, speaks quick and has quick hands - peasants like me have to re-watch this at half speed to catch even half of his wisdom. 🙏
Also kudos for the good clip selection worthy of this man's knowledge!
That right 💪💪💪
This guy's energy is contagious. You can really feel how enthusiastic he is about Wing Chun from how he talks
I love his energy and passion in these explanations.
_"Classic Wing Chun!"_
Great expert commentary, Master Wong! Good on the Insider for tapping on your expertise, sir! God bless!
He communicated very well the concepts of his trade in a way even I can understand, but also I like that he understands creative license and some of the more unrealistic things are to be expected in a film. It is a martial art I never knew about and it looks interesting.
I highly recommend the first Ip Man movie. I immediately knew that one was going to be in here.
@@janeenschultz8502 well no choice he is the one who trained the best fighter of all time
This guy definitely loves what he's doing. He's like sports commentators doing their thing. Always with some tremendous passion.
I've been training through his videos for a year just an awesome person keep it up
Agree! Very nice explanation Master Wong! Thanks
I like that they had Master Wong rate Wing Chun, he is definitely a top choice, because he keeps everything in perspective. I especially like how he discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the styles and when and how Wing Chun movements are supposed to work. I have been a fan of his content for years now.
Wonderful breakdown Master Wong.
"The Prodigal Son" is one of my favorite martial-arts movies of all time. I agree. Wing Chun basics at its finest.
this was amazing. loved it
Wow I didn't notice it was 15 minutes long . So energetic and good content.
This chap has just taught me some very handy self defence tactics, he's an amazing teacher👏👏
🙏🙏💪💪👊👊
I imagine that when Wong was a kid, he would wreck other kids, and then walk them through how he beat their asses in such a way, that the kids would end up befriending him once they recovered from their injuries. That's the energy this guy has.
You know Bruce Lee? Wing Chun (Wong's main martial art) performed so poorly in his one real world use of it, he literally sought to create a whole new martial art.
Um no.
he actually told a story on his channel, about how once he beat up a bully in his school, right before even meeting him, and the bully called all his friends, and they waited outside his house calling him down, well he did go and got beat up, but guy learned that day.
this is fantastic commentary, I feel like I was being trained by this master. This Wing Chun fighting style has a lot of similarities as the PPCT style of hand combat we teach at my work.
Was disappointed when they didn't have Wong react to Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao but I'm glad he brought them both up at the end.
I love Master Wong. He's very good and animated in informing us about Wing Chun. You can tell he has so much respect for this topic, I imagine because he's been doing it for so long. I'm happy that Michelle Yeoh got represented in this list too. She has done some incredible stunts that even Jackie Chan told her that he didn't think she should do it and he wouldn't attempt it either LOL. I hope Master Wong comes back. I really enjoyed watching him explain scenes. 😎👍
Yh
As someone that has practiced Chinese martial arts for almost 30 years I feel like this knowledge sometimes ruins watching these movies, it’s hard to not see the faults in some of the techniques, but I love that these movies are bringing awareness to how great these martial arts are
Well ironically these are not movies for martial artists but for ignorant (of the topic) spectators.
I've yet to see a movie where there's real behaviour that can be called realistic fighting.
Wait I remember Raiders of the Lost Ark, Doc. Jones shooting the sword guy, that's the only realistic fight I remember.
Anyway this guy knows what he's talking about!
That applies for anything. Whenever I see a piano or guitar scene in a movie I'm thinking "are they actually playing that, or are they going to edit around it?"
@@gudemik5335 The duelists. Good movie for realistic sword fights.
Loved every minute
Give this man a medal 🥇
Give this man ALL the medals
This man is just *bursting* with energy and enthusiasm, and it’s incredibly contagious.
So adorable how he out of all the strict sifu mode suddenly became a fanboy as soon as Bruce Lee popped up. That was really wholesome 😇
I absolutely love how energetic and excited he is about this
Loved seeing Master Wong's knowledge and energy, also I loved how he shared his favourite movie at the end. I think it'd be great if we saw more of that from other experts, seeing what they think is the best movie example of their field.
What I’ve learned in Muay Thai is your elbows don’t have to be thrown hard to create damage. Many elbows that cause lacerations are ones that aren’t thrown with much power, the bone is so hard and sharp that it will do damage regardless.
That right 👊👊
Yes, which wing Chun does but a big part of wing Chun is using a block, say with your elbow to physically attack the opponents strike. Allot them to strike your elbow instead of your face etc. It's actually extremely difficult to avoid when done properly as well
elbows are extremely strong body parts. they don't need much power to be effective but they need good structure to work properly, just as master wong said.
Seriously. Also, if anyone follows martial arts they will know that "Master Wong" is an utter fraud that gives terrible self defence advice.
@@TakumiJoyconBoyz have you ever met the man? And are you sure you know anything at all about martial arts? Cuz I mean you can not like him personally that's whatever, your choice, buttt he's definitely a very skilled martial artist. Certainly better than 99 percent of people on here, just saying
14:40
As someone how has been practicing Kali for about a decade I can confirm that that is a lot like the kind of drills I've done. While I'm by no means an expert, watching that scene was a lot like watching my Guru and other students practicing those kind of drills for hours with empty hands, knives, swords, etc. While the techniques and movements will vary from weapon to weapon, a lot of the same principles apply to each of them.
You'd get slept you bum
I've seen this dude's videos before. ALWAYS coming with intense energy.
Great analysis of each martial art movies. Very accurate!
More Master Wong please! I could watch him analyze Wing Chun for hours.
Movie : *kills a person*
Master : *Classic Wing Chun move*
Wow this man is awesome he changed my mood almost instantly thankyou
Master wong thats another great video thanks for sharing!
