【Ip Man 4】 Why did Chris Collins give up promoting Wing Chun in US army and returned to Hong Kong?

- Chris Collins (Chinese name: Gao Zin) has joined the film industry in recent years.In "IP MAN 4", he will play the US Marines Karate Coach that believe Karate has the best fighting technique, and fight fiercely with IP MAN.
In reality, Chris served in the United States Marine Corps and he is the first American Wing Chun master in Hong Kong. It turned out that during the filming of "IP MAN 4", Wu Jianhao's role reminded Chris of his personal experience.
In the early years, Chris traveled from the United States to Hong Kong to learn Wing Chun and brought Wing Chun back to the United States. He integrated relevant technique into the US Marine Corps combat training. Originally, Chris's job of teaching Wing Chun in the military was supported by the military and everything went well. However, for one reason, he gave up his Wing Chun's career in the army and came to Hong Kong.

thank you for the comments everyone.
I would love to work with you on my Wing Chun. I appreciate your precision and speed. I started studying the idea and concepts in 2000 and got my first chance to practice hands-on with a German officer I worked with as a bouncer. I caught him practicing during one of our shifts and I asked him if he would teach me, and at the time I was young in my early twenties, but I really wanted to learn, so while we stood at the door I attacked him with a jab and a straight. As expected he defended against it even while not fully looking at me, and struck at my stomach which I too guarded. And it was because of that moment that he told me he liked me and felt that I had a lot of potentials, so he taught me what he knew every day for about 3 months. When he and I no longer worked at the club, on the last day before leaving he gave me his Wing Chun book and signed it dedicating it to me and told me the location where he went to school at. I signed up and Sifu Emin Boztepe is who I temporarily trained with. I ended up stopping because my fiancee and I fell on hard times and ended up homeless and destitute.
The Ip Man movies reminded me how great it feels and I have started again and your story has motivated me as well. Your Wing Chun is great.
When I found out you actually practiced a lot of martial arts including Wing Chun I was absolutely blown away, I loved your performance in Ip Man 4 and I hope you do more stuff like that in the future
Also I thought Kyokutyn Karate was a way of pronouncing Kyokushin Karate in America I didn’t know it was a made up thing😅
I've already seen Ur movie IP Man with Donie
Great 👍 Job Sifu
Chris Collins awesome！
So funny!! The karate character was played by a Wing Chun specialist!!

What's more funny is he's Chinese and they're supposed to be racist against Chinese.
Thats we call the colour of arts.👍🤜🤜🤜
@@zZiL341yRj736 I think he is mixed
So Chris Collins plays a dude that fights a dude that wants to introduce wing chun into the dude's marines when the first dude was a marine that introduced wing chun into the marines. Now that's some interesting shit.
Joking aside I've been a long time fan of Chris.
Lol man ur engrisk
So many dudes
If he's anything like most of the wing Chun guys I've seen , he'd better stick to movies where he's got a chance.
Duuuuuuude!
Well, since you put it that way
😂👍
That’s so crazy. You played the villian who wanted to disprove wing chun and in reality you’re a master!! Loved Ip Man 4’s fight choreography. You guys all nailed it
Now I know the back story for the Ip Man 4, bringing Wing Chun into the corp. Interesting. 👍
Historic findings here. So your the one who brought wing chun to the Marines in 2001! Awesome! Thank you for your service!
@mehmed bey look up Tony Ferguson. He uses wing chun in ufc. Maybe look this up before you embarrass yourself.
Also you call it slappy shit. You don't even practice this shit, and make first glance observations as a general statement about the martial art. The fact that you can't even be bothered to look up the principles of the martial art your criticizing really shows how you are both ignorant and inexperienced with martial arts.
@@helpme4720 These people will always be naive. They follow the herd and refuse to believe what works for themselves
After over 30 years of practicing Shaolin Kung fu and Muay Thai boxing, I have to say you are a true martial artist practicing Wing Chun and excellent at that.
Love Chris Collins,we don’t see enough of this great dude!

Wow! Fantastic cheers dude👍
so that storyline was loosely based on his life. thats cool
Master and philosopher of wing chun, he breaks down wing chun into detail and make it easy for people to understand and also merges modern combat into wing chun and turn it into modern MMA.
I trained in Wing Tsun and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at the same time for 9 years. Few people realize how similar the two arts are and how they compliment each other.
They arent similar at all.
A WingChun master and a Clark Gracie blackbelt, two deadly arts combined. Chris Collins is a dangerous man.
I got a gun :)
Seems like a nice guy down to earth humble and well cultured unlike some these days. Respect to you sir
Wow.. you also tried to bring Wing Chun in The Marines. .. Proud to you,sir
mehmed bey it looks like a pretty good Hand to hand combat at close range, you can add a lot of stuff to it like kicks, or you can even hook leg the opponents leg to throw the opponent off balance plus the slap can become a punch see him using punches plus he’s not even applying that much force into it.
mehmed bey Basic combat gear gives you gloves with pretty solid knuckle padding, so those slaps suddenly turn into slaps with something as hard as rocks
Wow, full respect to you "Chris Collins". You single handed to take wing chun and introduced to the US marine, marvellous 🙏🙏🙏
Ahh so Ip man 4 is based on ur story and u played the villain so it’s almost like a parallel world for you. Must be really interesting when u saw the movie I would guess, and by hearing ur part of the story really made everything click together. Thanks for sharing! Love from Guangdong and Vancouver.
Semper Fi brother!! Respect your decision to move on!! Do what makes you happy!! USMC 1991
He was excellent in IP4. I can't wait to see what he does next. Excellent screen presence.
Great to know a little bit of your inside story, chris Collins. You do remind me of another HongKong Kung Fu actor back in the 1980s with a full beard.
Colin Foo. I think you were thinking of Bryan Leung Kar Yan 梁家仁， who incidentally was in Yip Man 3.
@@nelsoncheng4638 Yes yes. Now that you mentioned it. Haha. Kar Yan has acted in umpteen Hong Kong movies. I liked Sleeping Fist :)
他在葉問四也是反派
殺破狼3
Story of my life - Chris Collins. Well done sir!
哥連教練～ 你下手太重了！！
So you also practiced wing chun.. wow.. that's kind of Respect to All Martial Arts
"Also practiced"?
He looks very strong at it.
You're the best looking forward to see more of your projects
loved every scene you were in collins! IP man 4 was an awesome movie, and you were a big part why

他給人的感覺好像新好男人那種的
電影裡根本惡棍XD
想嫁给他吗
本来就是好人
Wow amazing how he's character in the movie is the guy trying to disprove kung fu
真的詠春，感謝主
So cool. My shi gung was Yip Man and My direct teacher (shifu) was GM Steve Lee Swift and Yip Chun along side Samuel Kwok who was Yip Chun’s English interpreter. 1992-1995
Very down to earth man 👍🏻
Totally opposite than his character in Ip Man 4
Indeed
電影與現實的反差真的好大，原來您才是真正的詠春武者，真正的大師。
想不到葉問4在美軍推廣空手道的反派，會在現實的美軍反而推廣詠春XD
他真的在唐人街一個打十個了😂
@@JEFFYAO0205 網站😂😂
證明中國貨都是騙子
叶问：够了！
垃圾咏春，拳击泰拳mma随便选，同意重量级的打死你们这些练神功的脑残。去打得过在吹中华神功，看到都烦
Vaness' character is Chris' in real life. Chris became the villain but in real life he's the one bringing win chung to the US Marines. Wow!
I remember watching Ip Man 4 and thought that Chris was a totally arrogant bas**** , but in actual fact he seems like a really nice bloke. Not only a very good martial artist but a very good actor as well. Bravo sir.👍🙏🙏
US Marines are not in the Army.
But this dude is badass I never knew he was in the Corp.
Thank you for embracing Chinese martial arts, which in effect the Chinese culture, into your life. 🌷
Omg i am surprised 😱😱
I really thought he had Japanese blood
So he is a really good actor because I hated him so much in the movie and he look like a nice person. 😍😍😍😍
If you hated him in the movie. he did a good job acting as a villain!
I hate him in the movie that but.....
Boom in reality i would ask him to teach me
I SAW A POSTER ON THE WALL "CLARK GRACIE", SO CHRIS IS ALSO CONNECTED TO GRACIE JIU JITSU? WOW, CHRIS IS A COMPLETE AND WELL ROUNDED MARTIAL ARTIST !!
I noticed that. I just think the Gracies are 💩 people but the art form is 👍!
Much respect for you my brother that you choose your wife over the Marines 💝💝💝💐💐

Title says US ARMY, he clearly states US MARINE CORPS.
Regardless, a brother in arms and a veteran. God Bless you man.
Thank you for making us Soldiers and Marines better....
Well done. Thank you for your service
His performance in IP MAN 4 was powerful and solid👍

Você é um lutador que inspira força de vontade e confiança. Em Ip MAn 4, poderiam ter feito uma sequencia de luta entre você e Bruce Lee, seria fabuloso. Mas a cena de luta com Ip Man, foi fantástica. Parabéns e mais sucesso.
Thought you guys like like to see all the Straight Blasts in my old highlight vid including first in MMA, and now I have studied many styles including BJJ having 4 black belts but check this out ua-cam.com/video/6s24gLhRyWQ/v-deo.html&t=
Fantastic. Thanks for sharing this!
Hi Chris what you teach is highly inspirational, i salute your efforts.
In any endeavor we learn, first, how to form movement. Then we develop a gradual understanding of that movement over a period of years until our body no longer thinks of how to do it. It just does it. True maturity is a molding and blending of the essence of Martial training. Keeping our eyes open and our minds ever hungry for more.
This guy just keeps getting more and more awesome.
Support You
You are great!
Chris Sifu Respect! Chasing a dream with style. Would love to see your wushu guan. Long life and happiness! You are an inspiration to generations to come.I lived in jilin province following my teachers in Hsing I chuan. The world needs martial etiquette more than ever!
电影里的正派在现实中都只是演员，反倒是反派在现实中成了咏春爱好者
哈哈哈 你是對的。 電影中詠春拳大師在現實生活中是位演員(甄子丹)。 電影中反派在現實生活中是一位詠春拳執行者。甄子丹實際上不僅僅是一個演員。 在成為演員之前，他還教過武術。然而，Chris Collin教詠春實戰。 在美軍，不可能教拳套
Respect for your dedication of martial arts
Cool story bro, I’ll share this with my family. We all watched Ip man 4 together and loved it!
He not just a villain, he also a coach
And great person in real life
He IS a military coach in Ip Man 4.
詠春+巴柔真的絕配阿，立技、摔技、地板技都補完了，讓武術進入新層次
You are so sincere about Wing Chun to the USA Army. Thank you to share your real-life episode.
“I’m the dude, playing the dude, disguised as another dude!” Lmao
HAHAHAHAH
Thanks for fixing the Music! Much better!
多謝你！
This is totally different from the movie!!! Nice. 😸
What an amazing story! It would be great to hear in more detail what it was really like introducing Wing Chun to the marine corp, without the movie fluff
SO HE IS BASICALLY IP MAN!
WOW SOO AWESOME!
Just watched IP4. DAMN the karate guy was actually the wing chun guy. Mind blown.
I appreciate your passion of Chinese martial arts very much, keep your passion on, and wish you all the best!
wooow man and u did a great job at ip man 4. you show that when u do things by urself it enhances more inspiration to u and u discover secret truths behind ur path. Im a keyboardist at church and im a self-taught musician and i thank God that He gives me more inspiration and I developed better than what i was. Keep up the good work
所以當時打吳建豪時一定很感慨
打爆自己的二重身
Wow amazing actor
Finally I know where I have seen you!!!
Ip Man 4: Chris Collins, a half Chinese Marine sifu promoting Wing Chun IRL, takes up the role of Colin, a Chinese-hating Wing Chun dissing, White racist Marine sensei promoting Japanese Karate.
Chris: 3:32 It's fantastic and amazing for me...
i want to see Chris Collins in actions movies as the main character. He has potential and still young to make many action Wing Chun movies.
好的演員不可埋沒,力頂!
The last sentence "However, for one reason, he gave up his Wing Chun's career in the army and came to Hong Kong."
doesn't make sense. There's a distinct difference between the Army and Marines. Army isn't Marines and vice versa, just pointing that out. But the good thing Chris pointed that out early enough and says he's a Marine. I'm an Army vet of 7 years, and do give props to all my brothers and sisters at arms.
Yes, having Ip Man and Bruce Lee in your corner would've helped a lot
thank you for sharing the culture
Wingchun combined with Bjj . Good stuff !
Thanks for that's insight to your Martial arts journey great performance on ipman 4 by the way the movie was awesome
I’d just watched Ipman 4 on Amazon Prime Video- I just loved every second of the movie.
You’ve made the right decision- to follow your heart and married.
I would like to see you in other movies too- you played the karate guy role perfectly. How’s your broken rib doing?
This movie deserves a better popularisarion in the US and Europe. It is fantastic in every level! We are all tired of expensive hollywood cheesy movies that can not stand 15 min of them ...
Hey Chris keep it going my friend and ignore those stupid haters bro that means when they hate like that is because you doing something great good job 👍 be water my friend
This guy has haters?
很欣慰原来你练得不是跆拳道而是咏春。
他是帶藝投師學詠春的。他之前是學日本柔術和海軍格鬥。詠春獨行是垃圾。李小龍創截拳道已經是最好的證明。
@@YamamotoKazuo 說什麼詠春垃圾呢！
beautiful I seen a lot of your stuff your very good martial artist love to see you do more stuff man.
Throwing some Wing Chun in with Jiu jitsu and judo. Nice 👌
You mean Jiu Jitsu and Judo in with Wing Chun.
Wing Chun is about fundamentals more than anything. Jiu Jitsu and Judo are more about specialist moves for wrestling and grappling.
Salute to you Sir! :)

Chris Collins good role ipman4
"Practically the story is about me..." Interesting story of life.. and I don't think that was coincident....
Wait a KARATE GUY WAS A WING CHUN EXPERT!!! He played us SOOOOOO GOOD!!! Goes to show you a skilled martial artist is a skilled martial artist.
U r the man
Wing Chun, Jiu Jitsu, Boxing....... a real mixed martial artist but also with respect, a Sifu
looks like a humble guy
I wonder how you felt filming scenes of getting beaten by Donnie Yen with Wing Chun! Paradoxal! Salute Sir..
Chris Collins 💖👍🌹
We have a former Marine in the house! Cool! And a 9-11 hero. Wow. I already had the feeling if it was his story. Kinda Ironic.
I like how the majority of the footage is of his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school and it's never mentioned lol. It seems he's got a great pedigree from Clark Gracie too
Well. I found my new favorite Martial Arts actor & his life story/journey is pretty neat. Wish mine was as badass as his.😎
Interesting how life works out. You did well in this movie (especially if it was your 1st)
By chris I'm from Indonesia I like you man ...
I like Chris Collins straight to the point his Wing Chun is awesome so want to be that good from a Kiwi admirer
Exelente vídeo buen peleador 👍👋👋👋💪
That's awesome!
1:40 - The guy in black, expression is so funny 🤭
you should have watched the full clip of Chris sparring with that guy. He surely looked like he didn't want to be there haha.
I actually loved it! Lol..
