Your wing Chun is good, your business mentality is very good, but your greatest gift is teaching and getting the message across in a way that your followers can really digest the info! Love all your videos!
I love your comments on the feel like “I do it like I’m tossing a coin” or on the stance video “like you’re going to sit on the back of a chair” these explanations really help me out.
As an boxing expert and teacher at a ufc gym and now learning wing chun. I got to say I love the whole flow system of wing chun and just how you can easily defend against a good boxer is awesome plus the grace of wing chun is beautiful as well. Thank you for the tips 🙏❤😊
I've always wanted to learn Wing Chun, but I've recently gone to college so trying to find an instructor with my schedule is super hard. So glad you teach the basics and fundamentals, keep it up Sifu Dan
Tan sao is the easiest to mess up. BY far. There are a LOT of really obscure useful movements if you find enough knowledge you could miss but they are easy to perform compared to tan sao it's the hardest because you actually can easily mess it up. You have to get it right and not wrong from lots of experience also experience against what you will defend. It's the easiest by far ... Definitely the easiest to mess up and you have to really get it right ... Every time. It definitely takes practice get better than your teacher.
It also is most important to understand it as a concept and energy it's not form or textbook but the bend in the elbow is a concept that says you're not trying to LOOK a certain way by form instead your elbow is directing their force right where you are strongest your center so it doesn't torque if it torques it's gone and you need to bong. It's also done differently depending on the energy ... Angle ... Range. For instance guarding the centerline too much could burn your shoulder out ... But you can float your elbow in during contact ... But it is a lot of extra pressure know that can also hurt you. But you can't have it anywhere but the center in ration to force of their punch on a hook punch it is a cross like he taught correctly and he made me better too just by listening to him. It's VERY easy to get hurt if you don't understand it. It also traps their arm and if they try to come back to the center by going down you do move your vow into the center and you get free hits with centerline edge block punches immediately. It's not LOOKING right ... It's knowing your body and structure ... It's also reading their energy and directing it to the center where you are strong ... Not a torque you can't manage that's one good reason bong sau exists, if tan torques that's fine ...that's bad ... But you can't always resist that much. You either raise it higher like a biu so the torque decreases it is called sky Palm or spreading palm ... You have to change the torque don't resist it with Power ... That won't work. Or ... You collapse it into a bong all relaxed and easy. That's bad. You don't want it to collapse ... But fighting like a hook with your torque in your shoulder is wrong it's not strong and you'll get hurt. So you let it go and bong sau. That is all you can do. One of those two. If you're early enough if it seems like it will fail or is failing you'll still block it. In contact you can feel pressure before a strike and go to bong sau. Yep. You can use a cross tan sau as well which is a corkscrew spiral. But one thing is for sure ... There's always just that one perfect structure and it's conceptual not looking a certain way. It will catch the energy RIGHT and it's easy to misunderstand that and not catch it right. If you don't catch it right ...if you are too tense too ... It goes badly. So it's the easiest to mess up but when understood it is something. Be good.
Very good Sifu Tan , I’ve trained Tong Long for many years , it’s the little things that make the technique work , so attention to detail is very important . Like Wing Chun Tong Long is not as it appears and takes much practise to get it right . It’s why the Chinese Martial Arts are so disciplined , but oh so great when you get it.🇦🇺 thanks again Scott
Thank you sifu Dan. I once used to learn wing chun but i cannot get my teacher's teaching till he nearly drop. But with your detail explanation I get it easily at least 90%of the concept. And of course to master it takes my sweat but I not that blurry as I was back then. Thank you, Sifu Dan. Keep it up!
Thanks Dan for your Wing Chun Skills n technique sharing in details. It 's help us who can't find Wing Chun School and don't know who is good Si Fu here at my place. Thanks a lot !
I love the way you explain these things. You are very precise and explain Wing Chun techniques in all details predicting all possible mistakes we can make, which is essential when you want to learn complicated things over the internet without an instructor.
I’ve been looking for a school when I saw this video. After the first lesson I was hooked. It feels like I have a personal trainer in my home. Now I have to find someone to practice with. Thank you Dan Lok
I have just recently been interested in Wing Chun and I have seen all 4 IP Man movies. I respect this way of fighting and it makes me want to learn. You are a great teacher and great video. Well done 👍
Great video and great explanation. Many thanks. I am lucky enough to be learning with Sifu Serge Parisi in France. It endorses all that he trys to teaches us. I look forward to future videos maitre.
Master Practitioner....🤔 Practeachtitioner....whos....Practeachtioning....Very easy to follow along, & the different camera angles definitely help out.
the video is very good It hurts that I do not have a wooden doll or a companion to practice it. but I try to practice it somehow every day. I liked. thanks sifu dan lok.
Mental Imagery is a scientific fact to helping people improve greatly. I had to do much of my training on my own. I learned one on one with my teacher. Being his only student. He had gotten to where he refused to take any more students for a number of reasons. So, I had to prove myself to my teacher for him to accept me a decade later as a student. So, all my practice was on my own, with no special training equipment or another person to train with. I have to tall you it makes a giant difference and again with my Sports and Exercise Science degree has been tested and proven to make giant difference with applying.
@@TheQuarterbackX Visualization is a powerful tool, I use that with my students, even though I'm a Krav Maga instructor and our system has zero esoteric principles I think that visualization is a really important aid for the trainees.
Scour the internet a little bit, you'll be able to find tutorials on how to do the Wing Chun dummy using PVC, but then I think you'd have to reinforce it somehow. Or try to have a wooden dummy made.
Yeah that was a great explanation I feel like I got so much more of a direct concept that won't fail here. Tan sau if done wrong absolutely does fail .. that was the right way. Good job.
Minor details is major. It is the little things that count the most particularly when you are referring to structural integrity. I really appreciate the way you explain things particularly when you cannot "feel" the instructor and one is only learning it visually through videos. At least, the viewer will have a better and clearer understanding of how it should be done. Thank you for your knowledge and passing on the great art of Wing Chun sir.
I was doing some single legged squats (no weights). When I imagine holding plates(activating that part of the mind while doing exercises) I really noticed an instant improvement. Thanks 🙏
That is great that you are trying to share what you had learned from your teacher. I had found over the years that each person I have come across that had trained in Wing Tsun, had been taught very different. Yes there are simularities. Though among those simularities there seems to be more difference between two practitioners then simularities on how they may apply those techniques. From my way of training, I can easily see how you started off having problems getting punched while trying that technique. Though seeing how you had evolved to understand this one way of applying the move, it seems to also have some interisting applications. I was also trained to do it slow. Mainly as slow as needed to make sure every aspect is done slow enough to make sure it is in its proper place throughout the movement. Where as that develops, we would also train it at full speed. Even when doing a form to time how quickly we can go through the whole form without cheating any one of the many aspects, techniques with in this and all other moves. When doing so there are lots if great aspects a person can learn from it. And, able to gain lots of insight to many different variations to each movement and technique learned in forms taught in W.C.. Keep learning and evolving in your style.
Wing Chun is never about force against force. The tan sau was the first technique I learned 30 years ago and it was taught very differently to Dan. (I am from the Ip Chun lineage)
Oh wow.... You're an amazing instructor, every words you said go in my head and stay there. So clear with every steps even the slowest learner can learn from you right away. Thank you.
Thank you. Great video. The move should have forward pressure or it won't be effective, as you say. Also, the elbow should slot in centerline, giving it the suddenness at the end of the motion.
I like your explanation of the Tan Sao, I’m a fan of your videos as well. Keep them coming Sifu Dan Lok. I enjoy your past videos with Octavio Quintero, I was fortunate to catch his seminar last year in Phoenix AZ. My roots are Sam Kwok linage. Thanks for sharing!!!
I had learn just 3 month taekwondo .1 year gymnastics.n learning taekwondo n looking many ma.that makes little different but u maninly u need strong.if u r very strong even little unstraight hand can block.sir.
Wing Tsun is Attack !! That is one of the most important Thing. And the Attack of me must be First. If u Fight against a fast punshing Guy Like a Boxer u haven't a Chance with WT If u are much slower.
I thought it was nonsense in the beginning, but in the end, he did the proper way of blocking/deflecting, which is the reversed punching ready hand....
Your wing Chun is good, your business mentality is very good, but your greatest gift is teaching and getting the message across in a way that your followers can really digest the info! Love all your videos!
I wondering do tan sao in dragon way
I, love your response.
.
I learned more in these few minutes than I did (briefly) 20 years ago with hands on training. You’re an incredible teacher.
Yes, he delivers the lessons in ways that hit the mark.
I love your comments on the feel like “I do it like I’m tossing a coin” or on the stance video “like you’re going to sit on the back of a chair” these explanations really help me out.

Great video Dan, the reasoning behind minor details is great food for thought.
You are great teacher, Your lucid explanation really helpful. Thank you.
Welcome.
@@DanLok come India master 😊😊
I agree with everybody in the comments. I’ve studied several martial arts for 45 years including Wing Chun and you are an excellent teacher

I like the way you avoid making the lessons unnecessarily serious. Thank you for your time 🙏
Sifu..Your teachings are simply beautiful..Thank you..Dean Gordon

Tan Sao stance is precisely accurate and deadly the more I watch the more I feel Sifu very very skillful in the art.
Thanks Dan for your Wing Chun Skills n technique sharing in details. It 's help us who can't find Wing Chun School and don't know who is good Si Fu here at my place. Thanks a lot !

I can’t believe Dan is teaching wing Chun❤ I was watching all his financial videos
I like you how you explain the wing chun basics techniques in simplicity that is easy to understand. You have my respect
I tell you the truth? I like your way to teach and your humble helpful attitude now so much. Thank you.
I have just recently been interested in Wing Chun and I have seen all 4 IP Man movies. I respect this way of fighting and it makes me want to learn. You are a great teacher and great video. Well done 👍
Where I live there is no schools close to me. So I hope I can learn from this
The hint about the coin is the best analogy I've ever heard of! Noted down for myself

Hello, I'm from Kurdistan. I'm a Muslim. I'm really impressed by you
I deeply agree with what others are saying. You have a gift in the way you explain Wing Chun. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
That increase in my balance when I focus like holding a plate. Powerful change in stance
I was doing some single legged squats (no weights). When I imagine holding plates(activating that part of the mind while doing exercises) I really noticed an instant improvement. Thanks 🙏

Dan, Bruce. Lee, would be so. Proud of you ❤️
Not sure of that, but sure I am.
In depth teaching, thank you so much Dan.
Wing Chun is never about force against force.
The tan sau was the first technique I learned 30 years ago and it was taught very differently to Dan. (I am from the Ip Chun lineage)
I just want to learn with that view of Vancouver Harbour! Favorite spot on earth right there and Wing Chun? Holy crap.

Good stuff. Always apply forward pressure and OWN the centerline
Excellent teaching. Thank you very much. Congratulations. Regards from Uruguay.
Thank you Master Don, my master missed up a bit with that, He taught me like an block only which is the wrong application.
Oh wow.... You're an amazing instructor, every words you said go in my head and stay there. So clear with every steps even the slowest learner can learn from you right away. Thank you.
IT has been a very clear and profesional demonstration!!! Thank you! Keep up loading videos!

Fantastic Dan Lok
Super video. Smooth offensive defense techniques. Nicely explained!
Muy bueno el vídeo. Gracias por enseñarnos.
Thanks sir for teaching.we learn something from u.
Great detail! Very informative.
Thank you. Great video. The move should have forward pressure or it won't be effective, as you say. Also, the elbow should slot in centerline, giving it the suddenness at the end of the motion.
I never saw the tan sao as an attack, cause it looks like a very defense move. Great mind opener.
Every block is an attack, one motion
Wow, this man is rich and a fighter: impossible not to admire him.
This guys is good. Great stuff.
I like your explanation of the Tan Sao, I’m a fan of your videos as well. Keep them coming Sifu Dan Lok. I enjoy your past videos with Octavio Quintero, I was fortunate to catch his seminar last year in Phoenix AZ. My roots are Sam Kwok linage. Thanks for sharing!!!
You are indeed a teacher 💪♥️💪
I laughed way to hard at “one of the most common attacks in North America” 😂 Subscribed!
Bruce set the standard by which all other schools follow.
Thank you sir for starting wing chun video series , Peace
