A good teacher makes you question what you think you know. They open the door to another level of learning and then inspire you to walk through. Sifu Chan does that! I've practiced Wing Chun off and on for almost 30 yrs and he inspires my curiosity to still dig deeper!
Well done. My best regards from Italy. I am happy to find so cleaver person that share his knowledge with hoter people. Thanks a lot from a student that loves Wing Chun system.
The Sil lim tao form seems boring, but it should be done regularly. The purpose is that all movements must be ingrained into the subconscious, so that you automatically perform them in sparring or fight, spontaneously, speedy and without thought. It will accelerate your co-ordination with a fast, smooth transition between movements, avoiding any wrong, unvolontary movement that may happen when conscious thought gets in the way. This is the often not understood or misunderstood reason.
Nice video. I’ll also add that Wong Shun Leung was Bruce’s main teacher (not Yip Man) in Hong Kong for 18 months before he moved to Seattle. Source from David Peterson and anybody else within the WSL lineage.
Great work as always. I still have your online book and original instructional on my hard drive. Work it from time to time. Best wishes to you and your family!
I love finding new gems of knowledge through youtube. Really interesting the differences between the Ip Man linage and the mainland chinese. I would be interested to understand more of the differences.
This is so great!I am learning so much from you!I did not even learn the applications as you explained in my wing chun studies.I have practiced wing chun for 13 years.. now it’s making sense!!
GRACIAS , GRACIAS ,SU FORMA PARTICULAR DE MOSTRAR EL WING CHUN ES TAN REAL Y TAN PRACTICO COMO LAS EXPLICACIONES QUE OFRECES , DECIR Y HACER LO EXPRESAS DE MODO TAL QUE TODO COINCIDE PERFECTAMENTE, GRACIAS UNA VEZ MAS PUES QUIERO QUE SEPAS QUE CON SUS CLACES E PODIDO ENTENDER Y ABSORVER RAPIDAMENTE Y EN POCO TIEMPO MUCHAS COSAS QUE FISICA Y MENTAL ANTES NO PUDE VER DIOS LO BENDIGA HIJO MIO DIOS BENDIGA SU TRABAJO Y SU DEDICACION GRACIAS UNA VES MAS.
@Sifu Adam Chan, - REALLY- ...every explaination about movements of Wing Chun is very interesting! What I like and enjoy is your informations about "other GUNGFU styles" and their history! The history of their origin and what is in common or different! Respect Sifu Adam Chan and GREETINGS from Germany ☯️🙏🏼👌🏼☘👊🏼
So glad I saw your video. I’m re-learning my forms from my brother who taught me when I was a teen and using it for everyday practice and wanted to learn more because he said there were lots online. You remind me of my brother and hey so glad you’re in Vancouver BC too. We may just bump into each other one day. It would be cool to see you practice sparring with my brother Chi. 😅 Thank you for taking time out to explain history and do different techniques from China & HK.
I haven't seen another Wing Chun shifu share this depth of knowledge publicly. If I had time to study /train another system I would definitely look you up. Gongxi。
tnx Adam for sharing your knowledge of Gung fu with the world,you are amazing . The true warrior. Im learning gung fu since I was 5 years old starting with Bruce lee copying him day after day. I always train alone ,there was no masters to teach Gung fu in Slovenia in those years. Shore now its different,you can find someone those days. But when I saw you here on ytube I have got my will to train again. As soon I collect some money I will join your online courses ,now during this Corrona crises is a little bit hard to earn money here in Slovenia. Most people can hardly survive till the end of the month. This fake corrona destroys people lives and whole economy sadly. Respect Sifu.
Oh I was extremely impressed with wing chun ability to hit with their faces. Had fought with 4 wing chun "masters" from so called "different school". One claimed to be direct descendant of yip man or whatever his name was. Won all 4 fights in less than 3 mins. Send one to the hospital. Was really impressed by how all 4 sect of wing chun practitioners I had fought with attempted to hit my fist with their faces. Repeatedly. I remembered in particular one who used his face to hit my fist so hard that my wrist hurt for like a week. Even had to go to a hospital to check it out. You will never learn that from muay Thai, bjj, or other discipline. One hit so hard with his face he literally spit tooth after our fight. 👍
I just subscribe, and I had to play the speed at 1/4 speed to catch your demonstration speed ,wow you are quick .have you thought about having a body cam( like the police have ) to get your perspective of 1st person view when demonstrating against the volunteer,along with your side view demonstrations. Thank you, your very informative.
I am happy to announce the Wing Chun course that I promise is finally release on my new site at www.adamchankungfu.com . I am sorry for the delay. I wanna thank Cris for all the hard work , all my online students on my Old site and all my youtube subscribers. Thank you .
There is so much variability in the heun sao. In the version of Wing Chun I'm currently learning, which is Hong Kong style, our heun sao has an "inside grind' or circle followed by an "outside grind" but the transition from the inside to outside circles adds a lateral swiping motion from center to outside, a "cut across the eyes". Curious if this is a common adaptation? I don't see it online anywhere.
I was taught that when doing circle hands your wrist should be lower than your elbow. You drop your hand whilst turning, otherwise the persons arm might get stuck on the inside of your arm. Most novices wil counteract that by disgarding the elbow and throwing it out of alignment.
what Sil Lim Tau means to me; you are at a picnick a great big hornet appears and you semi automatically swat it later you are cooking a burger on the barbecue. you accidentally place your hand palm down on the red hot grill and you semi automatically retract your hand. you earnestly made it happen, but without thinking about it. and that is what Sil Lim Tau is to me. all the great dancers and artist working on the next level use Sil Lim Tau without realizing it isn't a mystery, but it takes a while to learn it, and the more you practice the deeper you understand it but like 2 trees growing side by side, they may be the same species but each will find its own way to reach the sky.
Adam Chan, would you please make a video how Wing Chun can be used when you're being mounted. I searched so many videos in youtube but somehow I still cannot find many helpful resources.
@@hiskandar ground game super unrealistic and useless youtube sakuruba he destroy Gracies where was the precious ground game then? they have to take to you the floor first, if you good wing chun they too busy dealing with fist in their face. Also if they rush u step to the side and punch..if they grapple just KNEE up, no need training for that one. Your welcome.
@@ZaddyZavid dude, ground game useless or not, I do NOT care. I am looking for resources for wing chun that can be used when you're mounted. Good wing chun or not, nobody is perfect. And now Using your logic on Sakuraba beat Gracies. How about Genki Sudo mounted on Royler Gracie and punching him to KO (youtube it). Regardless who that person was, that Gracie could ALSO be you or anybody else being mounted and that useless BJJ cannot compare to the striking skiill when they are on the ground. Now you're left alone with your Wing Chun, and mounted... What's next? So do you know how to apply it while you're mounted? If NOT, then STFU.
@@hiskandar i will not be mounted or taken to the ground. I answered yr question and you mad. I told you move to the side or knee up they cannot get u to ground the end. You want to mount go to gay bjj. Why u wing chun. Wing chun will not get mounted use yr brain.
Do you have a solo push hand drill to strengthen the root/sink? I know two people push hands is the way to go to build sensitivity and internal power, just wondering if there's a solo drill. Thanks
Seems valid. Though you will never grab a punch being thrown. You can definitely grab a wrist before the shot is thrown. The biggest problem I see with Chinese martial arts is they don’t throw a hook. Probably the best punch in boxing is the lead hook. If you don’t train it how would you defend it.
I would like to learn kung fu, but my hips are not very healthy. I had one hip replacement and probably need another one someday. Arthritis is taking me down. Can you show me something that my help?
Get our scientific Wing Chun Udemy course, there we disclose how authentic Wing Chun should be done. This video is showing incorrect Wing Chun techniques.
the way i got the feeling down for this is to have a buddy extend their arm out. then i try to yank them towards me. if you just use your arms, it's not as forceful as coordinating your lower back muscles into it
Footwork is much more important than handwork in modern fights. Most Kung Fu styles focus too much on handwork. If you can't get into position, you can't touch your opponents. This is also why I think Muay Thai can be weak too because of its clumsy footwork.
You know what man, I just surfed Sil Lim Tau from youtube to compare and contrast. 90% of "youtube" Sifus, totally exposed. I barley have any words, its embarassing. Just, thank you. I PROMISE, I will learn Wing Chun from you guys, its a damn shame the Wing Chun community wont even mention your name, and that pisses me off. I just now recovered from "baby momma drama" money wise. I got you guys. And I'll put on for you guys the same way I did Lung Ying. Masters like you should be cheirished and treasured. Sorry for kissing ass too much LOL
This man's knowledge of martial arts is outstanding! Thank you for this video👍🤙✌🙏
Great condensed explanation of the forms' applications.
I don't know how I stumbled across this channel but I'm glad I did
Love the material presented! It’s so hard to find someone who doesn’t have an agenda and is positively objective!
I love the small history lessons we get we these videos!
He’s a good technician with detailed explanation of a basic WC motion
One of the best teacher/tutors I've seen

Could you kindly upload a full demonstration on Sil Nim Tao hong kong way
I just subscribe, and I had to play the speed at 1/4 speed to catch your demonstration speed ,wow you are quick .have you thought about having a body cam( like the police have ) to get your perspective of 1st person view when demonstrating against the volunteer,along with your side view demonstrations.

👍 love the variations
Wow really great video man.

Sir just one request plzz
Please make video pn fook sauplzz🙏🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭
inspiring
That muscle-digging skill, does it work when the person tense up the muscles?
I am happy to announce the Wing Chun course that I promise is finally release on my new site at www.adamchankungfu.com . I am sorry for the delay. I wanna thank Cris for all the hard work , all my online students on my Old site and all my youtube subscribers. Thank you .

Don't pull into it. Keep the forward pressure and you won't get stuck, even if your hand is higher.
What would be a good exercise to build huen sau strength?
Sooo cool thanks
do you have videos of actually fighting someone full contact?
what Sil Lim Tau means to me;
you are at a picnick
a great big hornet appears
and you semi automatically swat it
later
you are cooking a burger on the barbecue.
you accidentally place your hand palm down
on the red hot grill and
you semi automatically retract your hand.
you earnestly made it happen, but without thinking about it.
and that is what Sil Lim Tau is to me.
all the great dancers and artist working on the next level use Sil Lim Tau without realizing
it isn't a mystery, but it takes a while to learn it,
and the more you practice the deeper you understand it
but like 2 trees growing side by side, they may be the same species
but each will find its own way to reach the sky.
Now I see how BJJ became the most dominant martial art ever. Per my reviews, No martial art can address it.
BS!!
Sakuruba dominated the Gracies a long time ago where was yr precious BJJ then?
Sorry but could you please explain what the red boat is thank you and blessings.
I want to learn wing chun from you
Adam Chan, would you please make a video how Wing Chun can be used when you're being mounted. I searched so many videos in youtube but somehow I still cannot find many helpful resources.

Could, sir, upload a full force sparring session of Wing chun...?
I like wing chun better then praying mantis system.. more applicable against the modern expressions of fighting.
Footwork is much more important than handwork in modern fights. Most Kung Fu styles focus too much on handwork. If you can't get into position, you can't touch your opponents. This is also why I think Muay Thai can be weak too because of its clumsy footwork.
