Hello from New Zealand.. I have been training 24 years...to be honest I have glanced past some of your previous videos, but there is something about this video that I really like..some parts to people might seem disjointed for beginners,but on a personal level completely understand aspects you mention in this clip....
"A bong is a failed punch", that is the single best explanation of Bong Sao I have ever heard. Reminds me of the time my sifu cracked me up years ago when he said "Wing Chun, when you think of it, is really extremely violent. I mean, you're constantly either hitting or trying to hit, relentlessly."
Great video, man. I trained many years ago under Albert Chong in Adelaide at the IWCA. Even though it’s been years since I actively trained the concepts have remained strong in my mind and watching this really evoked a lot of muscle memory and I feel inspired to start practicing Siu Nim Tau and Chum Kiu. I never got up to Biu Gee but watched my seniors practice it and wished we were invited to do so. I might reach out to some old Wing Chun mates to see if they’re up for doing some Chi Sau. I’m really glad I saw this video today 🙏🏻
Nice video, thank you. Question?…..as with many videos on wing Chun on UA-cam, very little is said about the combination of footwork with hand techniques ie. What leg are you leading off with Bong Sau?, what leg are you leading off with Paak Sau?, what leg are you leading off with Gaan Sau?
On a bong sao, the weight is pivoted onto the same side as the bong sao hand. Same with pak sao. On a lower gaan sao, the weight is on the opposite leg as the hand.
love your stuff Sifu Adam. I got your course and I'm very glad i did as you got a great attitude and i really dig your teaching style and method. Real happy I came across your channel in my search for some wing chun instruction.
Hello from Germany, great vid as always , your help always improves my WT ,so thanks a lot for that, a older video you did helped me a lot to stop my shoulder pain with Chi sao. Oh and by the way you remind me a lot of Micheal Pare`.
Hi, ich trainiere auch in Deutschland und bin auf der Suche nach gutem Wing Chun in Niedersachsen und Menschen, die offen sind für verschiedene Perspektiven. Magst Du mir sagen, in welchem Verband Du trainierst und wie Deine Erfahrungen bezüglich der Offenheit für verschiedene Blickwinkel in Deinem Umfeld sind? Kampfkünstlerische Grüße
Thanks for sharing. option 1 to punch come forward and to centre option 2 - to tan and punch. My questions- are we doing a wrong bong? Or if a tan da is the contact on their opposite arm? Or does it not matter just go for the tan da and not be concerned about their spare hand because my punching hand would turn to a defensive shape when I feel something. Hope you can understand what I’m describing cheers
Great work.but in the page of the video ,Donny yen has his finger open ,which is an important error when you consider Qin na technics possible on his hand .anyway great job
Keep in mind Donnie yen is not a life long practishoner of wing chun he basically had a crash course training in it to prepare for playing the role of ip man in the movies, although a good martial artist in his own right but in other kung fu styles.
If the opponent comes in and gives you pressure towards your center you can go to bong as explained. But you don't have to do a lap sau if the range is correct you can actually bong and hit at the same time making is just as fast as a tan sau.
You’re right. I forgot about that. It can be just as fast, but still should not be 1st or 2nd choice. An elbow down option should be priority before an elbow up option.
@@sifuadamwilliss Bong sau is indeed okey as a transition both often other options are preffered. In sparring I don't like to bridge the gap with a centreline strike since I don't like to be on the inside if I can not get close enough. Inside tan sau is hard for me to apply since I don't have very large arms so i prefer to be on the outside and with my arm on top. I usually draw a reaction first before exploiting the opening or I wait for my opponent to attack.
@Sifu Adam i would like to ask, is it possible to use bong sao against a swinging overhead right hand? What is the best defense and counter against a swinging overhead right hand?
@@sifuadamwilliss thanks for the info, coz the swinging overhead right is probably the most common punch that you will encounter in a real street fight.
Hi Marco! I’m in Southern California and teach what we call Dragon Family Wing Chun. My sifu is Bill Graves. I’m from the Florida line of the Leung Sheung lineage (Yip Man’s 1st Hong Kong student).
Hello sifu Adam, bong sao never lifts, but what if i lift it a little bit and move aside, it works when i use it in sparring, i mean, wheb jab comes, i use my bong sao and it works and i move my body outside and my opponent is mine i csb punch him, cuase against boxing it's easier to punch after bong sao, I don't want to sound stupid, but eveb in movies i see when ip man use bong sao the other form to move hand away
This channels style reminds me of the martial arts tapes i watched as a kid, impeccable.

Glad to hear this video hit a chord with you. I appreciate your comment especially considering your experience.
"A bong is a failed punch", that is the single best explanation of Bong Sao I have ever heard.

These tips help prepare me to start Wing Chun. Thank you.
Sifu. Love your messages and explanations. Promoting Wing Chun is awesome 🙏🏾.

Thank You Sifu for the Great Explanation. Returning to Wing Chun after a few years to relearn the system.

Hello from Mayorca Spain!
Interesting video and thank you for sharing Adam .
You’re welcome Dimitrios
Great job 👍 super skill set
Thanks for your reply
Very good video 🙏
Have you seen Master Wong doing his wing chung
Yes I have. Based on these mistakes, which would you say he makes?
Thanks for sharing. option 1 to punch come forward and to centre option 2 - to tan and punch. My questions- are we doing a wrong bong? Or if a tan da is the contact on their opposite arm? Or does it not matter just go for the tan da and not be concerned about their spare hand because my punching hand would turn to a defensive shape when I feel something.

Great question. The answer, just as you mentioned, is it doesn’t matter. 👍
Great work.but in the page of the video ,Donny yen has his finger open ,which is an important error when you consider Qin na technics possible on his hand .anyway great job
Yes it is. Good catch. 👍
Keep in mind Donnie yen is not a life long practishoner of wing chun he basically had a crash course training in it to prepare for playing the role of ip man in the movies, although a good martial artist in his own right but in other kung fu styles.
Only experienced practitioners will get these points.
Thanks 👍

Do I have to learn Chum Kiu & Biu Gee?
Thank you sifu
THANK S.
@Sifu Adam i would like to ask, is it possible to use bong sao against a swinging overhead right hand?
What is the best defense and counter against a swinging overhead right hand?
A version of bong sao combined with Bil Sao works against a swinging overhead punch.
@@sifuadamwilliss thanks for the info, coz the swinging overhead right is probably the most common punch that you will encounter in a real street fight.
@@YawYan_fighterAlex You can see the boat in action on the clip of ua-cam.com/video/-YNrn5XbwBca/v-deo.htmlt at 0:29
Good video. Do u have teachers in Atlanta?
No. The best bet is my online course is at wingchunlessons.com
There aren't any classes in my area, so I really appreciate the videos, and your time.
What is the school you come from? If possibile to ask ?
Thanks

I see....thank you for your answer

Hello sifu how to avoid raising shoulder ؟
Practice the bong sao extremely slowly. Do it over and over until your body remembers it.
Question, could you show how ti use bong sao when a person is 1,70 cm height and the opponent is heighter than us?
Cause I think bong sao is used according to the attack. In the face, I'd have to raise my elbow to avoid getting hit on the face😅
@@ailton1760 the bong needs to be modified for higher applications. The hand needs to become higher than the elbow.
Hello sifu Adam, bong sao never lifts, but what if i lift it a little bit and move aside, it works when i use it in sparring, i mean, wheb jab comes, i use my bong sao and it works and i move my body outside and my opponent is mine i csb punch him, cuase against boxing it's easier to punch after bong sao, I don't want to sound stupid, but eveb in movies i see when ip man use bong sao the other form to move hand away
Different ranges call for different uses. The way you’re using the bong position in boxing range sounds ok (similar to a Philly shell).
Amen!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hey why am I seeing all these wing chun practishoners on UA-cam loosing fights to boxers, muay Tai, and many fighters.
Болтовня
Thanks Sifu
