I've had the opportunity to train at the Francis Fong academy. This was many many years ago and he actually had two schools in the Atlanta area. But I have also taken numerous seminars and I will tell you that I've seen Sifu Francis Fong wearing a white belt at a BJJ seminar hosted by John Jacques Machado. He also has various instructors come in for Thai boxing and of course Dan Inasanto and the Filipino martial arts. I say this because he is well aware of the different arts and the different ranges. In my humble opinion I also think that the trapping techniques of Wing Chun can definitely work in a real situation but I can also see where some people may feel that it doesn't have that much practicality. I would say learn some and decide for yourself.
If you want to learn Wing Chun than learn Wing Chun. At this point numerous real life encounters filmed and available to the public more than anytime in history, if you have to wonder or discuss wether an art works or not should be an indication you should probably look elsewhere. No disrespect to any art but reality is reality and art is art.
I was so, so very fortunate to begin my martial arts journey with Sifu Francis Fong. Almost 25 years later and I’m still practicing Wing Chun, and still loving martial arts. Thank you for that gift Sifu Fong!
You can tell every single lesson sifu teaches he's practicing and learning and increasing his own skill simultaneously each and every time, that's why the students will never catch him !
@@AdaJUNQUAN a better question would be in What scenario could you not use it, Wing Chun is all about saving time saving energy saving movement and centerline direct line of attacks there is no unnecessary combos or moves
@@williamsmith8790it’s mostly because a lot of people don’t understand that traditional martial arts are mostly about concepts. Fights in real life don’t look like a Jackie Chan coreography or a Kung Fu form. It’s all about how good you are at applying the concepts in a real life confrontation. Sadly most people expect Kung fu to look cinematic and dismiss it as bs because “if it doesn’t look like Kung fu it can’t be Kung fu”, lol.
As a young Army Soldier in an elite unit, competitive boxer, undefeated grappler, only one Wing Tsun master ever shut me down and made me feel helpless. Keith Fain sifu of Clarksville TN. A humble, unassuming, but powerful master. He uproots you with chigerk while breaching your limbs with camming, trapping , and then you see floor & ceiling ending up on your back unable to breath. He's elderly now but still teaches in Clarksville TN.
What everyone commenting should understand is that Francis Fongs school teaches Muay Thai, BJJ and submission wrestling so his guys have the ability to have a solid combative base which then amplifies aspects of his wing chin. This guy learned from Chai Siristute…..he’s a Muay Thai guy as well.
@@IlluzionMe You sound like a disgruntled ex WC practitioner who got his ass kicked by a schoolgirl. Take private lessons & kick ass every time, although WC is not all about fighting.
This was great. ...and in my last training session with my sifu, I'd managed to get those entries with lop sau, bong and hun sau . I've got very excited for stepping an inch on my training progress. Tks for your videos.
utterly hilarious to see the comments about "this not working." Have trained at his dojo. Sifu Fong is one of the most well-rounded martial artists in this country. He has expertise in Muay Thai and Kali. Very dangerous. His footwork is incredible.
It is always fun to see another system's use of parry, redirect and counter principles. While I recognize this as a Hubud Lubud drill, punch parrying is quite a fine-tuned skill that needs consistent practice. I like the variations on counters shown. Lots of fun.
Both systems together with Chen style Taiji have worked very well for me. Cheers. It's really all just movement and slight variations of intention/application.
When I was younger I didn’t really appreciate wing chun but now that I’ve been taking jeet kune do lessons for a few years and understand some of the trapping concepts I’ve grown to appreciate the wing chun roots a lot more I think it’s a beautiful martial art and very deadly
This is actrually legit, as a pro mma fighter I have either used or seen how this can be applied before obviously mma is more fluid so it'd have to be adapted but this is solid
the TRUE KUNGFU MASTER does not show up. But those who know, can see the depths and the grip of the arms, body and leg positions. Only those who have practiced for a long time understand that!! this guy is very good at EXTERNAL, but finding an INTERNAL master is VERY VERY RARE! DENISHINK, FROM CANADA IS ONE ONE THE MOST MISUNDERSTOOD REAL MASTER. GO MEET HIM, he is my professor...and I love him. go see him. QC, Canada. upgrade your skills with him....he not all the atep to be at tradinnal real SIFU. thank you to everyone who practices martial arts. you are all my brothers.
Well, the kicks are telegraphing... Should have twice as much more front snap-kicks (without telegraphing, simply raise the knee and snap the foot: target groin to face). This can be done backing-up too. With this, your opponent wouldn't have a closing chance. This is what the martial arts forgot about.😊
I just come to the comments section on these videos now to read all the Affliction t shirt wearers who know nothing about Fong say how they could destroy him.
good day to you sir and madame i am glogene hey mark gonzales coach louie yap i donot hab job i donot hab money i donot have house i used to be a janitor at the mormon chapel but i got fired i am applying for a new janitorial job if you know any chinese retailer in ongpin chinatown binondo that needs to deliver a certain package please tell him i am availabel make sure the salary is good tanx
although I like the Movement... these are Entry Techniques for what, someone just holding his arms in front of you doing nothing? Wing Chun starts with a hard punching Man in front of you
You would be surprised, a lot of fight start with shoving and grabbing. Sticky hand sparring gives you great control and practise of controlling people's arms, pulling down their guard so they can't block a strike. Wing chun is he Kung fu for fighters, the rest is not only exercise.
I've used it twice in real life, including against an a attacker bigger and stronger than me: I'm 6'3" ; 247 lbs. It worked and I 've prevailed. Someone else's soup always looks cold, until the very moment you sip it !
Debunked LMAO. Like it's a Trump election denial vid. Who are all of these experts in here. Same people that still think the best fighters in the world...fight in cage? Why aren't these guys FIGHTING IN ACTUAL COMBAT. A cage match? No weapons? Weak AF. Get sliced by 12 year old and see how good your cage fighting is.
May be yes, may be no, may be some one I don't know! So never challenge others like Mr. Jin, the character in the 1st episode of Ip Man. BTW, Where has a real fighter as I understand that there are only good players in their fields?
"JOHNWAYNE-pd2pg" guarantees! My mind is at peace now that the greatest of authorities hath spoken. Mr Fong, please dismiss your classes in all the various martial arts you have mastered with immediate effect because JOHNWAYNEgp235ns-t has seen right through your bullshit after watching some three minutes of your demonstrations.
@Luxury Buzz no they don't. I see them throwing strikes and not bringing their hands up to protect their chin and get countered but not sticking their hands long enough to get grabbed like in the video. Wing Chun is the worst style against boxing. Muay Thai, kickboxing and bjj is better against boxers
In real fight it doesn't work 🤣🤣🤣..especially if the man fight with you have been learned martial art..may be just good in the movie so you can setting the move
Never works on d streets. Only in d class room. Streets fights r raw power speed & aggression. Like fights in a hockey game. U don't know or control what's coming where when how. In these class room demo w compliant students who don't fight back @ in slo mo, everything works. I can perform somev mpressive miracles in d class room. Streets & combat r different. I aim to take out or kill. Not d same intent in d classroom. WC is mostly stand up upper body attack & defense. That's why Fong went to d machados to supplement what was missing . There r simpler methods of entry/bridging in WC. Many masters don't even seem to know them. That's too complicated to work in a real fight. U can control d hand & other body parts. He doesn't seem to know. Moving in with d body also won't work in a dynamic/changing fight. U xan win easily if u keep everything simple. Nice for study but will never get used. U will use d simple stuff to win. They r d most efficient, natural & effective.

Can I use the JKD back fist combo for Wing Chun

People dump on wing chun because its not street fighting; its not supposed to be, one quick chop combo to the throat and confrontation over.
It is street fighting. They dump on it because it’s not ring fighting. And they’ve never worked with someone like Fong.

Absolutely beautiful!!
you have captured important history and knowledge
The blocking seems really cool..would like to see a high level boxer looking over all the techniques..maybe try them out in actual sparring
Amazing

Great moves
I took Shaolin Kung-Fu and it requires a lot of stretch like Horse stance, but in WingChun there is. lot of hand-to-hand moves and you can stand up.
Nice flow to the geiko bong
Love that stuff !
Awesome 👌
Thanks for sharing.
Kick to groin > you're fight plan
I need to come see y’all
G8 Move!
C'est très intéressant
Glad to see sparring.

You know Francis Fong also teaches Boxing, Muay Thai, and Brazilian Jui-Jitsu, at his school, right?
Hasn’t this been debunked like a million times?
Depends on how you train it. Duran's inside fighting resembles wing-chun and Anderson Silva used wing chun too.
Tell that to Anderson Silva & Tony Ferguson.
It’s not always a good approach, but Wing Chun has a time and a place.
Most Wing Chun people are not as skilled as that man.
