Thanks Sifu greetings from Chile, we are waiting for you to come back for another seminar, hopefully soon ☯️🐲🙏 In the meantime, learning a lot watching your videos 🙂
Superb instruction! I can't believe I just found your channel!? Subscribed. Thank you for what you do for Ip Man Wing Chun! Please continue to pass on the system! Contrary to many "teachings", Wing Chun does have a "box" [& base]. So, the "center"/spine Man Sao is definitely required BUT there is also a "clearing" action [Biu Gee downward Man Sao]. Clearing is "opening" the path to "spine". This means "clearing" the Box [just inside shoulders & hips]. These are "borders" to "cross" [1st section of Siu Nim Tao]. So, we strive to "drive" [THROUGH] "center/spine", but we CROSS [X] the "borders" [determined by knees & elbow placement within our "table/box: immovable forward elbows or knees]. I also view "Center" differently than most openly proclaim [closed-door student of a direct closed-door of Duncan Leung]. Spine to spine "becomes" the line. "Center" & "line" are 2 concepts brought together in my experience. "Center" means we find the point an inch or more forward of the lowest vertebrae. This is the "seat" of the soul [where an opponent cannot escape forces applied]. Line is driven from elbows & knees [& also spine in more advanced applications]. I often teach [privately]: the best place to be is BESIDE the line [of force], then to spiral [feed back] to the opponent's "center". The END of the line [fist] IS the end of the line. Our every touch should disrupt [& displace "center"]. Position permits Opportunity; balance allows response. That said; true Wing Chun targets pressure points. Biu Jee/Thrusting Fingers [as I was taught] is to elongate [sharpen the "spear"] & disable the opponent. There are many pressure points along the collar bone & neck; I have never had them fail under true duress [whether using "seizing" behind the neck or "burden" just a finger to the spine/center just inside the middle of the collarbone]. In my experience [many life-and-death fights, including multiple opponents & knife/weapon disarms], I've never had an opponent re-engage after bridging/contact. I know many speak of targeting the eyes, but we need to UNDERSTAND "intention" [NOT "tension"]. These are specific in nature. Though this is not a truth I expound upon to everyone. God bless you & your work. At 7 years old I had to save my baby brother from a gang armed with clubs. To this day I know for certain I would be dead many times over if I had been taught a different art. What you do truly matters. Have faith.
Thank you for sharing Sifu! I used to train under the late Sifu Bart at the Colorado School over 15 years ago. I took a break and explored other arts and trained in Kuntao under one of Uncle Bills students. I also tried another version of Wing Chun under Cheung Sifu lineage but I found I really prefer the Wing Chun I learned under Sifu Mann. So after more than 15 years I have recently gone back to further my studies and honor my late Sifu. I love everything Wing Chun and it has become part of my everyday life and It has made me a much better person. I really appreciate any information on not only the physical aspect but also the historical and spiritual essence of the art. I thank you again for sharing your knowledge with us Sifu!
I am glad you like Wing Chun. You are right, it will become a part of your life. I always tell my students, that Wing Chun is in their blood. Wing Chun will become your lifestyle. As I said in the video, I am not trying to make people change their style of Wing Chun. I am trying to pass all my knowledge so people can utilize and build their own style of Wing Chun. Remember, Wing Chun is an Art of Fighting. It is an art just in a different format. If arts like music or painting... you need to have your style to make yourself unique.
@@SifuGordenLuWingChun Thank you Lu Sifu for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with us. I also used to use Leung Sifu's DVD set back I the day and I used the videos as reference. I tried to emulate the way you moved. In your forms so smooth and beautiful so It's a huge honor for me to even have this discussion with you as I consider you as one of my biggest idols. You truly have inspired me and maybe one day we can all meet, train and learn from each other as Wing Chun brothers. Dou Jie Sifu! 🙏
Congratulations !!! few masters can clearly explain the essence of Wing Chun techniques.

Outstanding!!! Very practical and beautiful ❤️
Glad you like it!
Generous Sifu to be sure 👍
🤞Thank you.
Nice video
Thanks
Enlightening SiFu ♾
Thanks
Sifu, are you of Duncan Leung lineage? So similar. But I keep seeing Lo Man Kam.
Johnny, I am the grandnephew of Ip Man, and Sifu Duncan is a student of Ip Man. Is this make sense to explain?
My father is Lo Man Kam and he also is a good friend of Sifu Duncan.
Much respects to all. My such was Allan Kong, that’s the reason I recognize the style’s similarities. 😀
