I really do like the way you explain and the movements in your forms show that you know what you're talking about. I'd love to see a video of you braking down the wooden dummy forms and how you understand and train them. For me, it doesn't have to be free either. If you put in time and effort you should be rewarded accordingly. Either way, looking forward to your next video. Take care of yourself.
Beautiful work. I was looking to re-remember my old Wing Chun stuff that I have not trained in for nearly 10 years (went back a minute to my jujitsu roots and some FMA) but I miss Wing Chun. Your videos are very easy to follow, I like your teaching style, and great tracks in the background. Will look up your school when I get back to London. Cheers, Sifu!
When you practice your form, any one of them, what does your mind do? Visualize applications/opponents, memorize transitions from one technique to another, not thinking of anything? What about tension and relaxation. Tension in general is not good. However, I'd heard (via some instructional videos/books) e.g. in 1st form, 1st section, it's supposed to be really slow, and we need to focus on tensions in elbows, and wrists for certain techniques. Any insights?
Hello huaxzhang, in my opinion once a person has grasped the mechanical components of a form, focus should be directed toward the energy of a given action with practicalities also in mind. A lot of focus is placed on what a correct technique looks like, but it is better to know what the correct technique feels like, or at least to have a basic reference of the feeling associated to a given motion which can inform the real life application. There are many different opinions on when and where tension should be used if at all. Personally I wouldn't suggest having tension in the elbows as this is a junction where a lot of movement needs to occur and by restricting these movements many techniques could be inhibited. Of course, you need to consider the context this "tension"you read about is being described in. Throughout the forms you will find a combination of tension and relaxation. The key is finding the right balance.
Thank you very much! No plans for videos about the weapons at present, but there's already some things in the schedule that I'm looking forward to sharing in the coming months. Respect!
Hi Dominic, It's the same lineage, but you'll find Ip man's students all expressed the art with their own characteristics and understanding. This is why many of his students forms differ slightly in the sequence or delivery of certain techniques. There are also other branches of Wing Chun separate to Ip Man, but mine comes from a path that leads back to him. Thank you for your comment and for watching!
great vid , just started wing chun again after a 37 year break , had my first lesson yesterday , cant wait for next one

What lineage is this?
Most heavily influenced by WSL lineage, but I have also been trained by instructors from other branches previously.
Leroy in his youth
I learned the first form myself. Due to Covid no partner
Have any idea on how to train by yourself
Hopefully things will change soon so people can interact and train again. I wish you all the best with your training. Thank you for your message!
@@CentralWingChun I only recently found your channel. If you have ideas let me know. I need some feedback on my little idea form
What is the difference between your lineage and IP Man lineage
Hi Dominic, It's the same lineage, but you'll find Ip man's students all expressed the art with their own characteristics and understanding. This is why many of his students forms differ slightly in the sequence or delivery of certain techniques. There are also other branches of Wing Chun separate to Ip Man, but mine comes from a path that leads back to him. Thank you for your comment and for watching!
