Thanks for training with us, Laurie!
Thank you for Coaching me!
Hey Tristan, my sifu was introduced to Wing Chun by your father in Sydney. He moved back to the UK and opened up a school there about 25 years or so ago. I’d love to see more videos from you and I’m thinking of opening my own school here in Louisiana, figured id send you some love
Hey @@truthhurts1884, thanks for your message - it's always great to hear from our extended Wing Chun family around the world. Wow - Sydney to the UK to Louisiana is quite the journey! It would be awesome if you made this happen. I'm sure there would be plenty of people there interested in learning from you. I wish you every success - Tristan
Any gym that has pads and pad work is legit!! Respect🎉
Bro this is EPIC!!
Cheers bro!
Collab?
Wing chun with realistic training is actually effective.
I train at the IWCA’s Penrith branch and I’ve loved everything I’ve learnt in my 8 months there, it’s awesome to see that you enjoyed your time!
Wing Chun is extremely effective with a lot of practice (like anything) the fact that you picked up the fundamentals in 7 days was really impressive, would love to see a challenge where you spend a bit longer learning Wing Chun in depth! :))
I been waiting for someone to make a video like this great job!
Thanks mate!
Was here 3 years ago, happy to see you've found success :) 100k subscribers, congrats!
Thank you!
*I trained as an astronaut for 5 seconds and now I'm going to space to see if it works* - typical martial arts opinionator on TH-cam.
Hahaha this is gold!
I'm so glad you enjoyed your training.
You did so well in just a week.
LOVED this. Such a cool challenge
❤❤
Why did the one "instructor" look like the wushu master from Holloseum the video game?
i would love to see you go back and do another video of you doing muay Thai
I practiced with this school at their Epping branch in Sydney around 15 years ago. I only did around 3-4 months of training but it was very enjoyable
Great video, bet you should progression learn supper hard types of push ups like the floating pushup
Oohh yeah that would be fun
@@LaurieShawIs this me request?
Very good nicely done
Cheers mate!
Well done mate!
Thanks bro!
Nice video brother
Cheers bro!
As can be seen in this video Wing Chun really is effective and builds self-confidence, calmness and joy. If in a short period of time of training in Wing Chun its effectiveness has developed considerably than certainly over the years it can be mastered to perfection of great combat skills. Very nicely made video about Wing Chun highlighting its philosophy and actions.
I think this is something u should continue....and then show progress in 1 year
I want to see a 1 month
6 month
1 year progression
Great video as always 🙏🏼. Out of all of the martial arts you have practiced so far, which one is your favorite?
Hm good question, I’d say BJJ was the most fun in terms of being able to play all out
Nice! 💪🏼 I just started my BJJ journey a month ago and it is a really fun martial art.
Keep up the great work brother!
Most amazing thing about this Video is that he wears safety equipment more often in 30 hours than other wing chun people in their whole career. Great School, great Teachers and a great Video!

When we're you guys gonna release your trust experiment video on TH-cam, out of curiosity?
Soon! Hopefully before the end of the year! (in the post production phase atm)
@@LaurieShaw Okay sweet!, I was just curious how it was coming along, because I'm excited to see how it turned out
Where is the fight in the end?
Somewhere i think
I think you really made good progress, the only thing you punch came to much from muscle power, and to less from relaxation. With the latter you get this penetration. But your sparring was good, man.
Wing Chun is effective depending on how you train it. You have to do research on different Sifu's and curriculum to figure out what school would be the most conducive.
I won't say wingchun not works but there is another martial arts that works better for beginner that only learn for 30 hours
Effective martial arts....
How are they not intimidated by your epic gorgeousness?? I mean, really! But yeah, how are your knee and forearms? You mentioned they were getting hit, so hopefully nothing's broken!
🧡
All is good fortunately!
Dai sau will expose your inner and center line?
Trained Kung Fu for eleven years. Frankly, if your Kung Fu or Wing Chun isn't effective in any situation, you're doing it wrong.
As a Kung Fu practitioner I have to say I am sorry but this is the worst way to determine whether your martial arts is effective and in which context? Having no experience anyone fighting the most intermediate student is going to be inpressed especially under their own format. 7days is not enough time or experience in any martial art to really understand and build your foundations. Lastly beating someone doesnt prove that a martial art if effective because everyone even champions lose. Ugh this kind of testing is exactly why we have such bad Kung fu fighters getting their asses kicked. Its not the art but the methodoloy, understanding and training. With my critcisms aside glad you tried Wing Chun. As for effective I practice a different art but I've picked up some WC so a bit of it overlaps into my fighting style. From personal experience. Yes it works against the average unprofessional fighter if your trained well enough. Against a pro fighter not so much unless you are a pro yourself which I am not.
Agreed I mean he didn't even grasp the fundamentals.I mean that is straight up not the way to test any martial art.
I mean, yeah it's not enough to beat a pro fighter but I don't think that Was the point of this, I don't remember that being the goal at all, I think what shows is that they were able to teach someone these techniques And showed that as long as you pressure test it, which they did do with gloves and headgear, You can use it against a dynamic resisting opponent, I don't see how you can say that wouldn't make it effective for fighting. 🤨 I mean, if you tried boxing for 7 days with good practice on learning the techniques and pressure testing and sparring, you would learn some adequate fighting skills.
vibes and dat
Hmmm ❤
Wing Chun is not made for sparring. You always end up doing kick boxing if you try.
Wing Chun assume that your opponent will keep his arms extended after punching. So that you can apply Bong Sao, Gaun Sao,... Etc.. Bad luck, your opponent will not do. As a result, in actual fighting you are not a able to apply wing Chun techniques, or hardly you may be able to apply straight punch or front kick. 95% of Wing Chun techniques are not applicable. But wing Chun training specially chi Sao is very nice just to cultivate qi power.
I am tired of whom pretends to learn a martial art in one week.
Hmm how long does it take to 'Learn" a martial art would you say
@@LaurieShaw I don't know anything like that which can be learnt in one week.
Other wise it is like saying that boxing you learn in 1 hour because the movements are relatively limited.
But is it really so?
Great video! Altought real life fights are generaly much more caotic and fast, and is really easy to progress to floor fight and even if wing chun was a effective fight, would fail on the floor part
Thanks bro!
Almost all fights start standing up, and it's harder than you think to take someone who can effectively strike and control their range to the ground. That being said, ground sparring is part of the training at our school, though it didn't feature in Laurie's training.
I remember doing ground training at that very same school. Was very interesting and informative, in that many of the stand up techniques could be used whilst on the floor- wether on ur back or even side. More or less looked not too dissimilar to wrestling- especially the arm traps n blocks. Had the best time at the school and made friends that I still have to this day and even sometimes grab a cheeky roll(spar) with;))
90% of fights do not end up on the ground, just ask a few bouncers. A lot of fights can be finished in seconds, I know because I’ve done it.
And lastly, no there is no video because either the fight didn’t last long enough or it was an actual street fight and nobody walks around announcing a street fight, they just happen.
And Wing Chun absolutely works on the street.
Check out sali avcis adaption of Wing Chun to groundfighting, a kind of Wing Chun BJJ. @@zman4116
I believe you are based in Australia / Sydney and see you went to the Jim Fung school. Maybe visit the Barry Lee Ving Tsun Martial Arts Academy as well it will be worth your time, they have a strong focus on good basics and strong punches.
I feel Wing Chun schools can vary and thus you could end up taking a really pathetic Wing Chun class or a quite good one. It's a matter of how traditional it is in my oppinion.
I think it comes down to whether it’s internal WC or external.
I agree some schools are good and some are crap. But even some good schools don’t teach internal WC, which really is the key.
@@christopherwarner6590 I have heard of Wing Chun having an internal element that can be explored. But, even then, I didn't think a lot of the Wing Chun schools knew they were doing internal stuff. They just thought it was dropping the shoulder which created a looser strike, stuff like that.
That's what I have gotten from looking in on it. But, good to hear that more Wing Chun schools are aware of what their doing.
Seven day training is in no way attesting to KungFu training!
That actually looked like 2 cats fighting. Not as smooth as a movie 😂
Is this a joke?? That's not wing Chun or Kung Fu, it's bullshit, disrespect to the art
In what way is it disrespectful?
@@LaurieShaw your oponents are not even using wing chun or kung fu, it looks so clumsy. i train in IWCO that come straight from the line of IP Man, im sorry man, but this is not the real real thing that can get exprerience
@@shadykratos - I think you've missed the point here. Laurie's opponents weren't meant to be using Wing Chun.
Thanks for the thoughts though! 🙏
@@wingchunaustraliaLaurie - 'I'm going to test myself against a WINGCHUN KUNGFU instructor.'
That ain't no Wing Chun ma brudda
