Dan Lok has prob the best WC instruction on here.. so many Sifu do not teach all the details.. and if you are not doing the WC hand tools with the right structure exactly they wont work. Very Good
In my JKD school, which has direct lineage to Sifu James Yimm Lee, we are required to progress our Wing Chun form on the Mook Jong, and this video helped a lot! Thanks Mr. Lok!
On the mook jong this is fine, but for fighting a live opponent, especially if they have boxing experience, what they say at the start of the video is not ideal. The bong sao needs to have some variable distance if it is to transition to the tan sao quickly in a single action, trapping off the jab.
@@SwordTune yes you are right, my experiences is always about adjustments, I totally agree and I've been practicing martial arts over 30 years. Constantly learning.
So glad I came up on your videos they help me practice at hom,e since I can only attend class on saturday mornings atm. Have to see I was laughing through the entire skit your teaching is really good as well as entertaining to watch. Thanks!
You were made for teaching Dan!! Genuine, authentic, instructive, very short & concise- great passion & focus!! Thank you to all of your assistants in your videos- you`re very gracious and patient with them- Way to Go Dan; you`ve made a successful & interactive online dojo!!
Bruce was so smart mixing wing Chun and boxing, fencing, Kung Fu, with street fighting. The best of all arts. Use what is usable. JKD will always be evolving.
Usually when i bong Sao i have side stepped over to their side. It's way to easy at this point to push them, or come through and hit. Train bong Sao always with a shift or step over and you will dominate. Standing still or stepping back or stepping forward with Bong Sao will not get you far. Bong should always be done with a shift or step to the side. Great video!
I have to admit, this was, infact, very helpful. I taught myself years ago by studying James Y. Lee's book on Wing Chun, and through picking up Bruce's movements in his films. But I was executing a couple things a bit wrong; they DID work when I sparred, because I strengthened the muscles that are used, but when I applied the proper technique, I noticed an improvement to the forms efficiency.
Bong sao (wing of the crane) is a transitional movement. Anyone taught basic wing chun would know, that we use it to move with. It puts you off to the side so you can LOP SAO (grab) it’s not done to look cool either. We use it to switch hands in collecting. It’s also a catastrophic shell like Dan said. No choice? Bong sao. It’s also a block that can throw a KOP JARN or PAI JARN elbows. We have RIGHT SIDE BONG SAO and WRONGSIDE BONG SAO. If you’re southpaw. Your right arm isn’t a good BONG because it leaves you open on the bottom line and from his backhand. Using a LEFT hand BONG on a right hand punch is called RIGHT SIDE BONG. But this is not encouraged. It isn’t a square block. Use it as a HELPING HAND.
I agree what Dan said at the end that even the most simplest things can be not really that all simple, simple is just a word to make it easier and much less troublesome on what you do and put into that one thing your focus or achieving at but its just there so that you still have the strength to do so which is why i love JKD and Wing Chun in terms of how it has affected my life for years and how dedicated i am to see those results that will keep me moving forward eventually
Slow motion will be better for understanding and if you can give full course of wing chun We can practice from home and will be grateful to you thank you
You give a good explanation of Bong Sao when you were talking about a lot of people doing it the wrong way what I got from that part is you're turning your hand and just letting everything else follow right?
I really like your videos about Wing Chun why I learn a lot, I usually use the Bong Sao along with my other hand to cover my face and then give a left Uppercut to the jaw.
Great video ...I am just in the process of learning these moves. I like the way you relate it to a real fight. When I am learning that is what I ask my Sifu alot. How would an opponent attack me ...how do I use the move to attack back etc. You explain it very well and demonstrate it brilliantly. Helping me in my lessons!! Thanks for posting can see it all the way in Canada!!!
Thumbs up again. With bon sau I like to feel like I am unscrewing a light bulb, the intent and force goes forward, not up. Your shoulder and lat muscle, powers it and keeps your body in sync. Good point about angle, just like with tan sau, if too little it collapses, too extended and you lose the protection and also risk joint injury. Also we were taught to keep the arm about level with our shoulder so there is good structure behind it rather than just trying to ‘muscle’ it. The bon lap da drill seems to help train reflexes and response. I like at 5:40 you talk about a startle reflex, bon sau and wu sau, as a good quick defense, then attack. This also helps with a side or blind attack. As far as a straight attack I prefer a man sau, biu or pak sau, but if you are surprised at close range a turning bon sau can help deflect the strike, as long as your body turns with it. One more thought I had is that when a lot of pressure hits the bon sau you can fold around it and elbow strike attacker as you pivot (like at 9:23 area) or hit with hand as you show, ‘go with the flow.’ :)
Bong can be a flinch, also however is used to absorb and redirect great energy (CK) and is commonly used when tan is crossed and or fails, bong is then used to close off their center... Bong has more uses just remember the kuit "Bong does not stay..."
Hey man, I love your videos! Super informative, and I really like your style. Friendly heads up, bong sau should be used while shifting to redirect momentum. It's not a block to use straight on. Really dig your footwork videos, please keep posting 👌
I like your vids! I have my take on bong sao. The way you do it and its maybe the right traditional way but if you look closely, the hand, fingers and wrist is weak and easy to break when it get hit in a fight. I believe in bong sao the way boxers do the peek a boo defence and deflect and attack. But good...do your thing...good luck.
WOW. GREAT MASTER DAN LOK COMES TO ME. I AM HOPING TO PRACTICE IT ALL THE MOMENT I HAVE TO PRACTICE. AS I AM ALONE AND I DO NOT HAVE ANYONE, I DO IT BY RECORDING THEM AND THEN I SEE MY ERRORS, WHILE I SEE YOUR VIDEO. I'M CORRECTING YOU. I WILL TRY TO GET SOMEONE. THANKS MASTER DAN LOK FOR UPLOADING THESE VIDEOS SO USEFUL. VERY GOOD STUDENT HAS, FUNNY. GOOD LIFE. REGARDS
5:15 "when there's danger you're like 'holy fuck' right?" Yea pretty much been my fighting technique always 🤣😂 This is perhaps the most honest training video ever. Everytime he said "holy shit" or "holy fuck" I related so hard 😆
Going through this playlist again to see if Wing Chun is right for me, and I have two questions. You emphasize precision a lot, and it looks like the margin of error for these techniques is very small. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume that in the unpredictable chaos of a real-world fight the margins of error are already tiny. So the questions are: Would it be better (at least for a beginner like myself) to try to mitigate this by learning techniques that are more forgiving? And, is there an inherent benefit to techniques that require extreme precision that I am unaware of? Thanks in advance, and thank you for sharing your knowledge with everyone. Much respect.
7:46 Oddly enough.. the way Dan us doing that forward facing BONG we would call that MAN SAO in WING CHUN. The BONG is a transitional movement in time. We switch or shift with it.
Sifu dan lok i really like your videos. Can you elaborate more on the practicality of the bong sao againts say for example a kimbo slice type opponent?
the ''little'' details make all the difference and make us grow.
Thank you Sifu
The most sincere and humble master....i love the way you teach and explain how to do it in a correct way and the angle position...
Dan Lok has prob the best WC instruction on here.. so many Sifu do not teach all the details.. and if you are not doing the WC hand tools with the right structure exactly they wont work. Very Good

Funny thing is..toward the end he close down his school and wanted to finish WC training back in HK.
Отлично обьясняете, если не трудно можно вам эти упражнения показывать как отрабатываются на деревянном манекене, заранее спасибо
Man, this sifu knows what he's talking about.
Sie sind ein guter Lehrer, weil Sie alles erklären. Liebe Grüße von Deutschland

exactly my thoughts
Very good lesson save from 🇧🇷
Such a Incredible Wing Chun you got.
I used this video as a reference to show another Sifu the right way of how it should be.
YOU ARE A MASTER
I like the way you explain why the form is why it is held that way
I have to admit, this was, infact, very helpful. I taught myself
years ago by studying James Y. Lee's book on Wing Chun,
and through picking up Bruce's movements in his films.
But I was executing a couple things a bit wrong; they DID
work when I sparred, because I strengthened the muscles
that are used, but when I applied the proper technique, I
noticed an improvement to the forms efficiency.
It's good lesson for me
Dan. You are a good teacher, simple and easy to understand what you are trying to convey.
Not gonna lie, watching him slap the other guy are for our benefit is hilariously informative. Thank you for your sacrifice young man.
