@@KevinLeeVlog Not a martial artist (or well havent been one in 20 years) i feel like making comparisons to different styles HELPS significantly with conveying the practical use of certain exercises, for example on the surface, sticky hands looks like patty cake. but when you draw the lines to for example the Muay thai clinch game things make sense, like for example how the elbows stick to the sides to fend off knees and such
So, thinking about what Sifu Fong said about ego and learning: the ego impedes learning and learning creates growth and so promotes life. Therefore promoting the ego brings death because it hinders growth. Truth can only be found in honest observation, humble evaluation and earnest application. An open mind cannot be egotistical because an egotist's mind is only full of the self. It cannot see others and so it cannot observe what they do or say that is correct where they are incorrect. Man. I think I just learned more from the philosophy then I did from the martial arts! Thank you!
This is the 3rd video I saw, and I started with Sifu Wong's Wing Chun mindset. I have to say, the more I see him in action and his explanation, the more I'm convinced had Bruce Lee lived on, he'd probably be like Sifu Fong today 💪
Honestly this is exceptional. Best all round martial artist ive seen to date i think. ‘Become water’ comes to mind, he adapts so quickly and blends in perfectly.
You would like to see also Erik Paulson and Greg Nelson. They also trained various traditional martial arts including Wing Chun to enhance their mixed martial art skills like Francis here and taught world champions in combat sports like wrestling thanks to that expertise. More and more people are begining to understand the true nature of what "MMA" is supposed to mean in the first place.
I have attended training seminars with Francis Fong and Dan Inosanto a couple times almost twenty years ago. He gave the whole room the same advice. Marvelous.
Thank you Kevin for recording these treasure troves! Sifu Fong is so selfless in his sharing. He is a true master and treasure to all martial artists and more!
Thank you for posting these. I studied with Sifu back in the 1970's and 1980's. He is such an amazing Spirit. He "flows" like no other that I've ever seen or felt. These videos are GOLD.
If all Wing Chun was taught like this there would be barely any haters. Amazing techniques addressing grappling and passing the guard.....fantastic....subscribed 😁
People often seek easy results without too much effort. But Wing Chun is Kung Fu, it requires time invested in it and the results are relevant only when at higher-level compared to other basic things. But it is, basic and fundamental, in the first place. True martial artists who actually want to know, come to realize quick enough how useful those skills are in so many aspects of fightning. Handfighting is as important as footwork. It's not the single best answer to everything, everyone can do it to some extent naturally, you might not want to focus solely on that, you can still be good without mastering it like crazy, but damn you're missing on something so basic that can change your whole game if you don't specifically train it.
Some have said this material used to be more prevalent in WC years ago but got stripped out. This is wonderful material. I studied under Sigung Jason Lau's lineage under Sifu Alan Goldberg. Sifu Francis and Sigung Jason had the same Sifu, Jiu Wan.
I have used trapping as a bridge between striking and grappling for a long time but wow, this was fascinating Sifu Francis Fongs use of concepts and evolution of his system are inspiring
100% agreed with what Sifu Francis was saying about open mind and continue to improve and grasp other system's ideology and try add to Wing Chun. That's what I kept telling my students as well. Well said Sifu Francis.
Bjj Black belt and ammy muay thai fighter here. This is legit. A friend of mine who did wing Chun prior to training mma, utilizes this in muay thai clinch sparring all the time.
Goes to show, never EVER underestimate your elders on the street. I have many formidable Asian friends. Male and female. Respect matters in Asian culture. Life can't make us do the right thing. People like this can & will make you wish you had. Ty master fong.
Thank you Kevin Lee for another great educational and philosophically sound video. This man, he is a treasure and reminds me of all the Dai - Shihan from the "Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu" schools all around the world, his wisdom is sound, and he is hitting so hard on the lessons of the, "Jihi- No-Kokoro" (benevolent heart) obtained through training and moving through life and death and being brought to the brink through experiences in real life and practical applications, he even talks about the "Sanshin-No-Kata" or (the form of the three hearts), in which we learn how to BLEND everything together, flowing from one kamae, kata, stance, waza, and not only do we just blend in our Budo Taijutsu movements but on a spiritual and mental level we begin to blend EVERY form, Chinese, Japanese, European, Western, of martial arts and through my studies, and with what Sifu talks to you about at the end of the video...and naturally we blend the same way with our studies and educational/sudies and practices. As long as you're doing it, moving/kinetic, you will grow and this helps us to obtain, "GoKuI" or such enlightenment to be untouchable or unobtainable, and this alone could take an entire lifetime. And that is great! I'm sure life gets hard but once you have obtained the pure martial enlightenment it is a good life with all of it's trials and hardships. So we just have to keep practicing! We have to keep moving, changing (Taihen Ki Hon Jutsu) - Body Movement Changing Skills, (Ki Hon Happo/Hachi) - Eight way movement, because if we keep moving we are living and as we slow down or stop we are dead. I remember watching a video ten years ago w/Masaki Hatsumi Soke where he said those exact words and when Sifu said it I jumped out of my seat and was like..."Hell yeah Sifu!" Hahaha! All in all I'm super stoked to be able to wake up to good Kevin Lee Wing-Chun, boxing, and other forms of martial arts, videos and content. Thank you Sifu for your years of hard work and practice and the wisdom you have gained. Kevin you and your crew are treasure and I am grateful to you all! Keep up the good fight and I cannot wait for more great content from Yourself and Sifu and whomever else you bring to the dojo. As we say in the 'BuJinKan', "Shi Kin Hara Mitsu Dai Komyo" (may our next act bring enlightenment), if this is spelled wrong please go easy on me I was very excited to post this!
Beautifully done. I've seen a lot in my life and trained a lot in my life. I'm not impressed by many "pros" as every second person is a pro and I'm not amazed quickly. Your videos my brother, showing Sifu in action is insanity. He barely even broke a sweat, not even.... it's crazy. Love your content. His wisdom is amazing his accuracy and precision is mind boggling! New sub right here! ✌️
Kevin, should set up a meet up between Sifu Francis Fong and Jeff Chan! I mean, @MMAShredded, what question/application would you ask Sifu Francis Fong?
There's a common say that wing chun is a conceptual martial art. It's hard to understand unless we see the practical aspect of it. This video give me that understanding. To give more understanding to the word ''conceptual'', it's more appropriate to say that wing chun ''has no form''. What it means? It means that wing chun can be applied to any situation and the technique itself can adapt to the situation not dictated by their exercise form. The stance not always need to form ''X'' letter etc.
@Buddy Thanks Buddy. Could you give me the word in Cantonese, so I can check it out? I won't ask my Sifu, as he doesn't speak Cantonese, and his English isn't the best. I'll run it by my brother, though, as he is fluent in both languages and might be able to give some insight.
@Buddy I get you - thanks. I have discussed this subject at length with my teacher, instructors, and fellow students. My understanding from this tallies with the realisation that @TavTav appears to have had. So, I guess I'm at a dead-end.
Magnificent, Gentlemen! Chi Sao as demonstrated here can definitely take the clinch out of the game. Nothing static at all here. Thank you so much for continuing to share this powerful yet, vast knowledge with the UA-cam universe. Osu, OkinawaKenpoDSSI
As much as people disagree with Chinese martial arts mixing in with other forms of grappling it has some great aspects and techniques that wrestling doesn’t teach as well.
I LOVED this. I know what it was like to spar with my TKD master my first month of training. I think this is what it must have looked like. Sifu Fong is so fast, he made Kevin laugh at how fast he was getting hit having to tap out. I was breaking up with laughter.
YEA --- he "feels the movement" and every more has a Balance point where you shift from Yin to Yan --- thats why he appears FASTER - when he really isn't - he just knows when exactly to make the Transition -- it comes from lots of time and effort in the MOVES
@@KevinLeeVlog I never got the chance to train wing chun, though I got to spar a guy once, nowhere near your teacher's level. But the idea of stickiness is something I got exposed to in taiji and systema. IME those skills are gateways to throws, chin na and hockey fighting from a striking context, and I used to wonder why Wing Chun folk I saw didn't use it that way. The answer is they didn't have the whole picture like this man. Very high level IMO
@@johnelliott9823 exactly! Every other internal style uses trapping while grappling to set up other things. Even external styles like Tang Lang Quan (Praying Mantis style) use trapping for takedows and standind joint locks
Amazing. This is the difference between fighting sports and martial arts. See the amount of respect sifu Kevin has for sifu fong. You can see it throughout all these videos. We need to get back to this in BJJ academies. A legend dropping knowledge. Sifu Lee, you're a legend also imo. 🙏 God bless.
Ego sets a person back while humility scores...well taught sifu fong. Thank you. I wd like to welcome you with nice satay shd you visit us your fans in singapore.
See, this is what i love about Sifu! You think youre learning martial principles and techniques, then he sheds the light on to how you apply this to every aspect of your life!! So much wisdom!! Thank you always, Sifu!!
A lot of people who are watching this don't really understand the practicality and depth of everything they are watching. Not to mention the technical skill.
Great video … people who have never experienced this „first hand“ can not appreciate what Sifu Fong is showing. Kevin is not being compliant towards Sifu Fong. I‘ve had the privilege to study with a Sifu who has 40 years Wing Tzun / Wing Chun experience and I know how effective (and painful 😂) this can be.
I trained a few times with Sifu Fong way back in the day at the Inosanto Academy. Very cool guy. And this is all cool, though I would like to see students actually apply it in MMA before I believe the clinch work and similar works as well under pressure as it demos here.
@@tomanderson6140 pretty much the opposite, he doesn't get to claim wing chun, he clearly understood it poorly since he chased hands to trap them, just like most of the mcdojo wing chun hucksters around today. If he grasped straight punching and trapping, he would already see it in certain approaches to boxing and muay thai and just use those. Anyway, wing chun like most martial arts has a combat history, but saying you need to see it in MMA is like seeing you need to see MLB pitching work in the NFL. What works as good habits in self defense shouldn't work in MMA, since it is about interrupting an ambush attack, and the best way to do that is with the kind of directness that should get you countered to death in MMA.
Very skilfully applied comletly different style amazingly implemented it's definitely better way this teacher showed it skillfully to me this is more affective then the traditional
I feel like this wonderful man typifies the old cliche, "knowledge is power." He has clearly thought his way through more than just how to defeat an opponent.
Sifu Fong have the ability to flow trought all martial arts and compress them in few concepts. That's what a real martial artist would be. Maybe in a next video some applications on the chi gerk, many people don't train it so much.
I enjoyed the teaching at the end. Knowers of the same Self seek the most humble reminders and encouragement. We are not the ego any more than we are this body. I'm glad there are no more winged serpents.
That words of wisdom speech/talk at the end was the most important part to incorporate everything guys did system or just part of life. That's what i enjoy after a long or good session. Glad to see you with Sifu Fong to better understand everything more. Been hoping for this.
Very interesting, a lot to learn. A teacher will teach what he knows but the remaining has to come from yourself. The thinking process... is super important.
So much knowledge and incredible insight into the martial arts. Wise life words to live by as well. He was doing things I’ve never seen done in Wing Chun (Ving Tsun)
I don't know much about Wing Chun, but this seems like a mixed system. Anyway seems like there's some very cool ideas there that are bordering on grappling. - Like it!
OMG! BEST VIDEO 2024 HANDS DOWN ❤❤❤❤❤ He broke down so much in little time and I Learned new Techniques that I can apply to my wing chun Training 🥰❤️❤️💯
Watching Sifu Fong demonstrating anything is like learning 20 different martial arts at the same time. I wish more masters were like him.
I totally agree with you!
@@KevinLeeVlog Not a martial artist (or well havent been one in 20 years) i feel like making comparisons to different styles HELPS significantly with conveying the practical use of certain exercises, for example on the surface, sticky hands looks like patty cake. but when you draw the lines to for example the Muay thai clinch game things make sense, like for example how the elbows stick to the sides to fend off knees and such
Does Sifu Fong have video tutorials?
Hence he is one of Bruce Lee highly regarded student.
Thank you Sifu Fong.. Your skill has captivated my interest , to look into Wing Chun.
So, thinking about what Sifu Fong said about ego and learning: the ego impedes learning and learning creates growth and so promotes life. Therefore promoting the ego brings death because it hinders growth. Truth can only be found in honest observation, humble evaluation and earnest application. An open mind cannot be egotistical because an egotist's mind is only full of the self.
It cannot see others and so it cannot observe what they do or say that is correct where they are incorrect.
Man. I think I just learned more from the philosophy then I did from the martial arts!
Thank you!
I absolutely can't get enough of Mr. Fong. It's like finding out that Bruce Lee is still alive. I'm so inspired.
I would love to learn from him
This is the 3rd video I saw, and I started with Sifu Wong's Wing Chun mindset. I have to say, the more I see him in action and his explanation, the more I'm convinced had Bruce Lee lived on, he'd probably be like Sifu Fong today 💪

Sifu Francis Wong is a Living Legend
I have attended training seminars with Francis Fong and Dan Inosanto a couple times almost twenty years ago. He gave the whole room the same advice. Marvelous.
I only do a little Wing Chun, but I know enough to tell that this teacher is very very good.
Thus is the best ever demonstration of Wing Tsun and an idea of cross style skills.
Ive never seen wun chun on the ground grappling technique. This is amazing. Thank you!
Thank you Kevin for recording these treasure troves! Sifu Fong is so selfless in his sharing. He is a true master and treasure to all martial artists and more!

no you haven't
Sifu Fong's movements are so smooth, they are deceptively fast.
Earlier on in the video, there was a section of how much speed didn't matter.
V ery NICE and humble MAN ---- I would want him to teach me anything he knows --- but everything he said -- makes SENSE --- and is on the Right PATH.
100% agreed with what Sifu Francis was saying about open mind and continue to improve and grasp other system's ideology and try add to Wing Chun. That's what I kept telling my students as well. Well said Sifu Francis.

Grandmaster level! This is just 15 mins but is full of applications with evidence-based practice tested with time .
Evidence-based?
Means all that shown techniques were applicable in an actual fight. No BS
This is what people need to see at the beginning so they can understand the template that structure and forms give them. Awesome footage!
Agreed! Gotta see where you could go!

Great stuff Kevin this is dedication inspiring
I love sifu Fong's arguments. They express a lot of experience and most us should absorve and meditate upon it. Meanlingly regarding our ego. Thanks 🙏
I am humbled by Sifu Fongs' skills and philosophy. He is an amazing teacher and role model. Thank you, Sifu Fong.
so cool!!!!! I like the palm on bicep stuff! Such fast hands and nasty bjj !
I know right? Can you imagine he is in the mid 70s? Lol
Kevin, should set up a meet up between Sifu Francis Fong and Jeff Chan! I mean, @MMAShredded, what question/application would you ask Sifu Francis Fong?
Bro, jiu jitsu IS WUSHUKUNGFU! comes from Qinna & Shuai Jiao... COMES FROM kungfu.
I love seeing Sifu Fong enjoying sharing his wisdom and lessons he has learned. Very cool. Very humbling.
Dang he does alot of defenses I never seen utilized before, he's giving lots of free practical use for standing grapple.

Great technique, and even greater wisdom. Thanks for sharing
"wing chun has no fight on the ground" haha.. its pretty universal. Every principle can be used in any situation.
Love the end talk of the video, wish to see more of this in the future.
I enjoyed the teaching at the end. Knowers of the same Self seek the most humble reminders and encouragement. We are not the ego any more than we are this body. I'm glad there are no more winged serpents.
Admiration for Sifu Fong's knowledge and even more for his philosophy on martial arts at the end of the vid.
Sifu Francis is great not just technically but even more so philosophically.
great skill ... shows a lot of practicality for contemporary movement in combat.
Sifu is awesome. So smooth. Hope I can get to train under him one day.
pretty sure Sifu Fong crossed training with other wrestling/bjj styles, he is very comfortable with clinching and sweeping.
Yeah, BJJ Rickson, and Kali. Not sure what else.
Great teaching 👍 and thanks for sharing.
Probably the best demonstration I have ever seen 👍 Very very interesting.
Good sifu.. Legendary. One of thoose i fallwowed when i started in the 1990. Time went fast we became old.

in my humble opinion Sifu Fong is the best
I agree with you! ❤
Very interesting, a lot to learn. A teacher will teach what he knows but the remaining has to come from yourself. The thinking process... is super important.
Wow that was amazing. I have never seen anything like that
So much knowledge and incredible insight into the martial arts. Wise life words to live by as well. He was doing things I’ve never seen done in Wing Chun (Ving Tsun)
Sifu Fong has good thinking and good techniques.Thank Sifu and Kevin.
I don't know much about Wing Chun, but this seems like a mixed system. Anyway seems like there's some very cool ideas there that are bordering on grappling. - Like it!
Concept is there, training drills can be developed differently ;)
He’s mixing Wing Chun with Jiu Jitsu.
Francis was a street fighter. If he says it works in the street, it will work.
Never thought of chi sau as a version of pummeling/clinch drill but it's all the same here.
Yep! 🙏🏼
I loved this video a lot
Wow, this gentleman makes it look so quick and easy.
What a great lesson! Kevin, you are doing awesome 😎🥋🥊
OMG! BEST VIDEO 2024 HANDS DOWN ❤❤❤❤❤ He broke down so much in little time and I Learned new Techniques that I can apply to my wing chun Training 🥰❤️❤️💯
What an amazing master
I like how real wing chun is like low level wrestling with strikes made at short distances.
