One of the best demonstrations of the Luk Dim Boon Gwan I’ve seen on youtube. It would be great if translations of the Chinese writing were added for non-Chinese watchers.
As a practitioner of karate, tae kwon do and South Shaolin kung fu ... I can say this master is a true Wing Chun 6.5 point pole master. His stances are stable, his execution is powerful, precise and fast! Anyone hit by the other end of the pole would have his or her bones cracked.
Translation 0:54 The stick Master Tang used is made of “Gold Pen” wood, a wood stronger than “Kun Deen” (Kun Deen is a high quality rainforest wood imported from SE Asia, and is well-known in HK and commonly used as tilts for tilt houses that can last for decades submerged in sea water.) 1:11 Use one’s thigh as fulcrum; apply the whole body’s force, not just from both hands. 1:23 Weng Chun Long Pole set includes six and a half actions. 1:26 Tie up纏; Tear撕; Pull 抽; Bounce彈; Pick剔; Cut割; Poke槍. 1:32 Each section includes 6 actions, then repeat with variations. 1:43 纏撕(Tie up and Tear). To tie up means to use the stick to move in circles, in order to tie up the rival’s stick; this can only be regarded as half an action. To tear means to strike swiftly, forcing the rival to drop his stick. 1:45 剔 (Pick). To pick means to point the stick downward like a fishing rod. The purpose is to attack the rival’s knees. All force should be focused on the tip of the stick. 2:13 彈(Bounce). Bounce back as soon as each stroke down is done. 2:32 割(Cut). Similar to bouncing back, this action lasts a bit longer, which can also result in the rival dropping his stick. 2:59 槍(Poke). Use the force from the whole body, don’t limit it to just two hands. This is what they call torque. 3:14 抽(Pull). The action is from down to up. Aim at the rival’s testicle or neck.
Thanks Derek. This is one of the best pole form I have ever seen, especially a guy from the place I was born. I can see how awesome he was just by looking at his posture and his foot-works, he was definitely in a different league. It is a valuable clip. Keep it rolling.
A lot of Wing Chun people nowadays treat the staff as just strength training exercise or just supplement to empty-handed fighting. They don’t care of its true power or original applications. You learn so much just from watching Tang Yik’s staff work alone, he clearly takes the weapon seriously
i am not from Wing Chun how ever i see it differently because back in those days there are not such thing call "Gym", so when people go learn traditional martial arts they would / will use heavy staff / weapons to train, as to increase Strength, Stamina and Body Posture. Ofcause when "Something Bad.." going to happen most will take the staff wich are half the weight of the heavy staff they use in training or even light weight staff to deal with "Something Bad.." in front of the club..etc etc. I personally learn a staff form pass down from my father, i also train with heavy and longer staff at the club but at home i got a lighter staff more suited for my hight to train / use at home.
I never particularly liked the long pole form in the wing Chun videos I had watched. It seemed pretty slow and rigid…but the way THIS Master demonstrates it …I could definitely get into this!
the form itself doesn't matter here. Other schools or styles have similar pole technique and form. Correct posture and leg work combined with the mechanics of the entire body are important. This causes vibration at the end of the club where most energy is accumulated during impact. Type of the wood also matters - in this case it is so called Chinese oak wood.
The caption in Chinese says it is made of a special wood, which is even better than a hard wood imported from tropical rainforest in SE Asia. the latter one is well-known in HK and used to be used as the tilts of those tilt houses that always submerge in water for decades without getting rotten.
@@williamweb9782 No, this is not Hung ga, although there may be some connection? Tang Yik was a known pole master of the "Weng Chun" system. There is even a documentary about him on TH-cam. More debatable is the relationship between the Ip Man "Wing Chun" lineage and the "Weng Chun" system (Same pronunciation, but different characters in Chinese). Clearly, the Tang Yik pole movements are different than the simpler forms using a longer heavier pole seen in many Wing Chun/Wing Tsun schools.
@@VTSifuSteve Aah that is interesting Thank you for the information Sifu Steve. I had not heard of Weng Chun until now. I actually got the Hung ga information from a wing chun group with a Macau lineage, however this pole form may be rare even in China.

Stop lying
Super very very great Amazing ultimate 😊❤

Wow! Thank you verry much! wonderfull!!
This insane
👍👍👌
Love the vid. Would loved to learn from him !!!
Wow he's really good!
Too some SiFus water it down and barely know how to use it.
true !
What's the purpose of the wiggling bit in the form?
Honest question since I have no clue about the form.
the form itself doesn't matter here. Other schools or styles have similar pole technique and form. Correct posture and leg work combined with the mechanics of the entire body are important. This causes vibration at the end of the club where most energy is accumulated during impact. Type of the wood also matters - in this case it is so called Chinese oak wood.
@@vingdragon a wonderful explanation. Thank you very much.
The flexibility in his staff is incredible bamboo maybe ? ,we tend to use ' Bo's ' which are fairly heavy and rigid, like the look of this better.

I WILL GIVE 1000 DOLLARS FOR SOMEONE TO TEACH ME THIS POLE FORM IN ITS ENTIRETY; I MEAN IT!!!
@johnh.mitchell6519
I believe that this pole form is actually from Hung Ga! It is not always what it says on the tin. I hope this info helps.
