While I lived in Japan in the late 70s into the mid-80s, Master Cheung was my instructor for several weeks while I was in the Navy. He used me as an "example" on a couple of occasions to demonstrate a kick to the shoulder then to the head. He was lightening fast; I was about 19 or 20 years old then and I was amazed at his speed! He was a very patient instructor to us Kung Fu neophytes.
If it is a real fight, do you think you can be able to beat him using what you have learned from Navy? Respectfully, I am untrained. But I spent a lot of time looking for a disapline to learn as self defense. But I have never seen any footage of Wing Chun beating anyone. I have only seen people using it to block at close quarters. EG, Anderson Silva. But he is also master in Mua thai, BJJ, Boxing.. and many more.
I dont think so. His students havent even mastered the basics yet, but he's already teaching them too much. More looks like a demo than a real class. Real class usually really boring where the students keep repeating 1 or 2 moves and get it right for hours before they can be allowed to move to the next 'boring' thing, next month.
Wow I keep on coming back to this video over the years and one thing I learned today was the Teacher teaches and the students learn they do not talk at all!! I am a welder/ pipe fitter of 30+ yrs and i train people regularly...and the most annoying hindrance in my teaching is a student /apprentice that not only taks back to me but speaks to me like they already know the lesson ... the student should be silent and learn from old wisdom!

What a wonderful experience this is to watch and learn from. Mr Cheung shows wisdom of the art he teaches and the patience to instruct skillful and productive moves at a pace that is easy to follow. Grandmaster William Cheung is marvelous to watch and learn from. Very respectful person. Love to meet him in person.
I learn a lot about pressure points in boxing. We didn’t spend a lot of time on it, but I found it interesting. I confirmed a lot of what I learned with a friend who has a black belt in Kung Fu. My friend got hit with an overhand right to the left cheek bone in a golden gloves match, and he described the rest of the round as fighting 2 guys in a blinding snowstorm. I used what I learned when I started coaching to gauge how much damage my fighters sustain in a match. It helps a coach decide when to throw in the towel or tell the fighter to keep going. I’ve seen many fans and coaches alike accuse a kid of quitting, when I knew for a fact they were injured.

He is so calm and so kind to explain movements. I know nothing about martial arts techniques, but today I feel I learnt something new. I think the persons who learnt from him were really lucky.

@ In terms of pure wing chun, he attained levels way beyond Bruce, so I'm pretty sure he could.

@@ThePsychoguy You mean he can do the one inch punch? Did you witness it? I have seen my Grand-master do the one inch punch on numerous occasions. I was standing no more than 1 meter away and nobody or anything was blocking my view. I think this Cheung is an opportunist. He saw the opportunity to promote himself after Yip Man and Bruce had passed and the facts could not be checked. Why is he not a member of the official Wing Chun Association in Hong Kong?
@ The 1-inch punch is a common skill in southern kung fu systems, I'm pretty sure Cheung, as a recognized master of one, is capable of it. His claims about training under Yip Man are commonly accepted as I understand it, unless you have evidence to the contrary. When I said pure wing chun, I meant it in comparison to Bruce's JKD which is a hybrid art, not in search of a platonically "pure" wing chun, or whatever you seem to be interpreting it as.
I took a 5-day seminar class with Grandmaster Wm Cheung when he visited NY. A wealth of knowledge and an unbelievable experience!! Don’t miss him if you can attend.
What an incredible honor it would be to be a student of this grand master. His ability to explain & demonstrate is so understandable and he makes it look so easy, however I know to build muscle memory reflex it must be practiced over and over again for years. I would absolutely love to see HIS practice kata, I'll bet it's absolutely amazing ! Wow, I would crawl on my hands and knees over broken bottles for a year of his mentoring !! What a guy !!!
Im pretty sure Cheung grew up in Hong Kong and went to school with Bruce Lee. His brother Casey and i were very good friends in Hawaii. I use to call Casey Bruce Lee. He was a very humble kind man just like William Cheung but i can tell you a story when neighborhood tuggs wrongfully harassed Casey they did not stand a chance wrong old Chinese man to mess with. He had all of them down in seconds his hands ,feet went flying. Wow! Casey was a long distance swimmer very fit but he had bad high blood pressure because of his job and city life in Hong Kong . Moving to Hawaii suppose to give him peace of mind. Casey always told me stories of IP man ,his brother and Bruce Lee. We would have long talks about kung fu follow through continuing motion in Wing chun. Focus point is beyond your striking target. I lost contact with Casey he moved to the States east coast to be near his grand children and children. God bless you Casey Cheung & William Cheung humble masters
@Jeff Cockmann i appreciate what you are saying its all about perception. My dad taught both me and my brother but i learned things my brother didnt like wise. To me its dept and perception also individual personality. Glamour has its moments on us humans. Stay cools.
@Jeff Cockmann It's all a load of bollocks. Olympic records get broken every year because things progress. Fighting has moved on and anybody paying attention knows the chun just does not work when pressure tested period. Tell me the names of 5 WC "masters" who you think know the "realz". Now link me to a video of them full contact fighting a fully resisting opponent. When you find it impossible to find such videos where all the gracies with the exact same claims (effective system, small man can beat stronger bigger man) have HOURS of footage proving their claims ask yourself honestly why. Spar outside your gym and you will instantly get your answer.
I enjoy (respect) the use of pressure point hand strikes & using only 1 step to the side. I'm too disabled to kick & to jump around. I was told by MANY surgeons & physicians to accept being wheel chair bound. That was over 20 years ago. To me accepting a wheel chair was the same as surrendering. I've adjusted to using quick pressure point strikes & using only 1 foot step to either side or forward in rare instances . This video validates my unwillingness to stay in a wheel chair and to use ONLY effective hand strikes. Thank you 😊!
Thank you very much for this video. To be serious, I have seen a lot of so called martial artists just showing off, especially here on TH-cam. But this is different. What I like about it, is first of it all, the very kind and calm way of Master Cheungs teaching. Second thing is, what is shown here, really works. Does it make you invincible? Of course not. Can it makes you a better fighter? It depends on you and if you can adapt the principles shown in here. Best benefit is, a Man like Master Cheun can teach you to be a better human. Less rude, more kind. Even when I´m an elder Judo and Japanese Jiu-Jiutsu guy, I apreciate this lessons and try to evolve personally, by learning as much as I can. Blesses.
I was thinking similar thoughts. My very last karate class I ever took as a young fella, I came home, showered, and watched the two towers go down in NYC on the late night news (yes I'm an Aussie) Patience, confidence, inner peace is foremost before aggression. It's what my sensei's drilled into me. Watching all styles over the years since (thank you internet), just shows it's all physics, and these masters have tapped into the most efficient ways of dealing with bio-mechanics. Thanks for sharing this vid guys.
@Fisticuffs Guilde No it is not bullshit, it's knowing when and where to use these techniques, if you have your opponent under control you can then use these techniques, Trying to do a pressure point strike on a skilled, moving opponent is, I agree, difficult and not a wise thing to try! All techniques have a time and a place, if you manage to control your opponent in say, a headlock then a pressure point strike, if a strike is the right word, perhaps placing your weapon, (Thumb maybe) and applying steady pressure on the correct point is a better description.
Fisticuffs Guilde , that’s why you practice a lot to develop muscle memory . That’s why you don’t have to think about what to do in a fight!!!! Muscle Memory!!!
jpsholland , I’m glad you brought that up because your question proves we have pressure points!!!! See you was hit on the back of your neck according to you but you WASN’T knocked out but if hit in the right spot you’re knocked out, it’s called pressure points but you have to practice to know where they are without thinking about it, your sarcasm proved me to be RIGHT!!!!
Grandmaster Williams is the best khung fu pressure points tactics which is easy to learn when you concentrating on the methods he uses for me to learn his tactics needs to focus more and practice it daily.
Passing this guy in a crowd or talking to him, you'd never think it because he appears to be very gentle - but he's actually a dangerous guy. His fighting skill is the result of a lifetime of dedication, discipline and devotion to the art. Impressive!
Kung fu, taichi and other chinese "martial arts" only sound good and look good entertainment wise but applying it to a real hand to hand combat these masters would get exposed by a typical mma fighter.
Myself and brother during our teenage years in the 90s used to get IKF magazines and would read all grandmaster Cheung's articles and then imagine him being our teacher.. I was madly in love with traditional Wing Chun. Grandmaster Cheung remain steadfast and loyal to his sifu Yip Man's teachings. Bruce Lee had different views so much so that he thought traditional Wing Chun wasn't enough for him(and the rest is history may his soul rest in peace)! But for me I would stick to TWC as grandmaster Cheung. It's an honour to see Grandmaster Cheung in video. Besides his martial arts skills he has an admirable handwriting ability. Today thanks to TH-cam 👌 that we could watch him... Would love to meet him in person someday. Much love and respect to him.
Wouldnt the elbow not be necessary because of the fist strike?...This stuff never goes according to plan because of movement dynamics change constantly
Wow...you're a delusional clown. Please don't ever step up to someone that really knows how to fight because you will get embarrassed and prob very very physically hurt.
@@keithschultz4187 Yes fighting for money and using the arts as a way of life are truly different. One is to introduce F.E.A.R and the other is to live without it. 8 directions of the Way. Their is only one Way. thx enjoy
cifu I am aikido and I'm afraid you are not the only one. most of your instructions I teach in my class. especially the blind side, and elbow control. blessings!
KEEPING IT REAL SIMPLE AND TO THE POINT . EXCELLENT TEACHER / TRAINER . PAY ATTENTION AND LEARN , APPLY AND PRACTICE REGULARLY UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE . YOU'LL THANK YOURSELF LATER .
What a happy and delightful video to watch; his insight and willingness to teach in a manner that is life-affirming is an example rather than a warning of how to "be." Many practitioners are no nonsense and sometimes difficult to watch despite their competency; it's Sifu William Cheung's teaching style, perspective and wisdom that made watching his seminar worth exploring. Thank you for sharing Sifu Cheung!
What a patient trainer Mr Cheung is, I'm not really young myself any more and appreciate how age has provided such wisdom and he explains with simplicity simple truths of self defense. He probably is a great source of many learned things over his years he is probably a good listener as well. His ability to observe and gently teach the technics and corrections of the discipline required to utilize these great self defense strategies that seem with some training the average violent encounter doesn't have to be a fearful experience to the average person. Thank You Mr Cheung also a kind gentlemen I can see he must have a loving wonderful family who loves him very much.
My best regards and humble admiration, respect to you Grandmaster William Cheung. Greatly appreciate for sharing your Wing Chung Pressure Points martial arts moves. It's a practice to bring each individual harmony in there body, mind and spirit, it should only be used having the full consciousness state of mind and only using it as the last resort of self defense. Please continue sharing more of your videos, and or please let me know if you have school in New York City? My best regards Jorge Campuzano
@@checkandbalance2903 First of all,wing chung IS greater than any offensive 1 2 3 combination of punches. If someone gives a demonstration he needs the person to stand still,otherwise it would not work.
Mr Benedictine I Boxed. We got in the ring and sparred and when you do it for real you understand that there is a vast chasm between “demonstrating “ and a real actual fight. In demonstration the partner is cooperating... its like dance where both sides know the moves. In a real fight your opponents isn’t going to do that. The punches will have way to much force to simply slap away. Look there are more than enough examples of Wing chun, akido, Ect.. practitioners getting destroyed in real fights against average MMA fighters. I was a slightly above average amateur boxer... I haven’t fight in over 15 years yet I guarantee you that my jab is STILL hard and fast enough that there is no way your catching it. Or simply redirecting it consistently in a real fight. We have seen enough MMA matches to know that a mix of grappling , wrestling, physical strength and boxing/ kickboxing easily destroyer ANY martial art alone. A DIVISION ONE wrestler shoots a double leg takedown and no wing Chung or akido move is stopping it.
He was coming to my country when I was young training martial arts. Belgrade. He is excellent chess player. He aged a bit. Nice to see him still doing what he loves to. His teacher was legendary IP man. I am now in Vancouver Canada. We need right masters here. William Chang used to live in Australia before I don't know where he lives now.
@@realist199 strong words. I meant more along the lines of greg above. I wasn't talking about his size, i see something in his eyes and body language. A quiet timidity that could lead to a bit of instability once he has the confidence of training. No movie influence at all. I've actually seen this in person.
I am not wing chun or jkd follower but i know that william cheung is a one of the last ambassadors of kungfu in the world. People should respect him very much.
Nice instruction on pressure points and control. As far as being the only one to teach about the "blind side" we are taught that in the TSD / SBD MDK system.
Never too old mate, 6 months in - still crap. Just sometimes I get it; feel it - see it.. just sometimes; but knowing my luck !!!. Went to China 3 years ago .. 90 year olds. Success and keep it up.
I love asian people and esp their culture and history. This man is so wholesome. even tho i only watched a few minutes, it would be an honor to learn from him. this is that real traditional shit right here.
First let me say thank you Grandmaster William Chung for showing these simple techniques to these young students. Your manner of instruction is from the heart and not the fist. It has always been that way. Great Grandmaster Yip Man was very wise to choose you as senior instructor. You give him great honor. Your vast knowledge is legendary and yet so humble.. Some may choose the WAY and some may not. Ten thousand rivers flow into the sea; the sea is never full.
The best tip i ever had in 40yrs training was to carefully observe your opponents breathing. Nobody attacks when breathing in, it may seem like nothing but this simple trick gives you the split second difference you need in a real self defence situation
@@FrancisMaxino That's good and very unusual, full power can only be achieved when breathing out I believe. A 9th dan TKD I trained with (Master Kim Yung Ho) said to me that all martial arts are 90% the same, the secret being relaxation and breathing, the 10% remaining being the differences in technique. Didn't really understand at the time although I do now! I did Wing Chun for years before i trained in Tae Kwon Do and we were taught to put an upward twist in the punch, connecting with the bottom 3 knuckles, kind of 90 degrees different to the Karate punch twist if you understand my meaning. This puts more power into the punch and I have never seen this demonstrated in any online Wing Chun videos. I wonder why. What do you think?
Like the karate thrust punch, easier said than done, plus, let's face it, when under duress, not wanting to get hit, we tend to resort to the "street" type of fighting,
@@stevebrindle1724 the WC punch is much faster and just as brutal. Furthermore, there is a way to punch at full power without injuring your hand. (Not unique to WC).
he's a very skilled martial artist when he moves the height of his head stays the same if he is going forward or attacking using angles the height of his head height stays the same and this way people cannot Telegraph when you start to move also he has excellent timing and his movement is excellent you can tell he is a excellent martial artist very very skilled martial artist thank you for this video
when he moves forward or does angles his head stays the same height his movement when he does angles it's just enough to avoid the punch and close enough for him to counter and punch a lot of people when they move forward the head goes upward I'm a lot of people go to the side the height of their head moves this is how you can Telegraph when someone's going to come towards you because their head raises up when they go to move
@@kentbarger6974 proper head movement is not telegraphing, cause it happens simultaneously, not before you start movement. Just get familiar with boxing fundamentals, its an eye opener for traditional martial arts.
Why do so many martial artists think that this man's teachings aren't any good, I have found that it certainly works for me, but keep in mind that one will not know what they are going to do, strike ,block, side step etc.every martial arts form is great and does work, and they have been fighting systems that are thousands of years old ,proven moves.
William Cheung in the 1980's in various international martial arts magazines told everyone that when he lived with Yip Man between 1955 and 1958 he inherited Traditional Wing Chun. The Wing Chun that he and the rest of Yip Man's students learnt in the school from Yip Man was the modified Wing Chun taught to Yip Man by his first master Chan Wah Shun a less efficient version. The Traditional Wing Chun being the original art passed to Yip Man from his 2nd master Leung Bik. The tradition in the original art was to pass the art from Grandmaster to Grandmaster. So to teach the art more openly but still retain the Traditional art within the family the less efficient version was taught. People hate on William Cheung because if he is right they have learnt something perceived as having less value. So they turn it around and call him the liar or the fake. Those that have learnt both methods and have some fighting experience know which is more useful. From a practical point of view most side with Cheung. So thats the reason William gets so many negative comments. In shooting the videos I let people see what he teaches so they can make up their own minds by seeing Traditional Wing Chun as its taught.
"Why do so many martial artists think that this man's teachings aren't any good," because they are not "martial artists" but mma fanbois, aka: they have no clue about martial arts.
To a point. My experience in talking with some Cheung students, is that their "traditional" system, was far, far superior to the "modified", to the extent that they rejected chi-ger. Even IF it wasn't "original" why scoff at what is a valuable training tool?
@ where Tf you think the concept of UFC came from? It's MIXED MARTIAL ARTS which Is from what you say BS OLD KUNG FU TYPES. smh do some research before you make urself look ignorant
A smart videographer would have backed up the camera to show the foot movements. A novice will never get it unless they can see and follow the footwork.
Even then, they may not get it if they do not understand what they are seeing. How the balance is shifted, relative to centre of balance, roughly tan tien point. Or lower if the legs are more developed, which means slight squatting can change a lot, without it being obvious how it is affecting mechanical leverage and purchase.
I had the honor and pleasure of meeting Grandmaster Cheung in Denver, CO at a seminar that also marked his 50th birthday. An amazing man in every way. Not “just” a martial artist. Now I’m the one who’s 50 years old😜 He instructed us to give ourselves “room to move” and to not always crowd our opponent if doing so restricted our own movement as well. That stuck with me, and became the name of my TH-cam channel 👍🏻😎
I have been training in Tae Kwon Do since I was 10, (41 years) got my black belt at 16 year's old tested under General Choi himself. 6 year's for a black belt (I didn't go to a belt factory school) got my 1st degree 2 year's later at 18 and that's when I was able to go to Black belt classes after regular class and there is were I learned how to defend myself.
@@mightymeatmonsta Every movement made is contingent. No one martial art is better than another. Everything you use is a tool. You don't use a crescent wrench to pull a spark plug out of a motor. Wing Chun like a lot of other martial arts are not complete. As you may have witnessed the effectiveness of adding jiu jitsu or Muay Thai boxing to any repertoire . Bruce Lee himself attests to this and MMA. Don't get stuck in a box.
@@stalker7892 No, you're wrong and a fucking IMBECILE!! Wing chun is like NO OTHER MARTIAL ART on the planet! It uses 10 concepts, angled steps and a body rotation towards the attack, corkscrewing techniques that allow us to dissipate power across the arm or leg, the centerline AND central line theory, and has NO INITIAL FLAWS OR STIFFNESS AND IS THE MOST FLEXIBLE SYSTEM ON THE PLANET BECAUSE OF THIS! Boxing has MAJOR FLAWS and is incomplete! And so are ALL boxing derivatives, jiu jitsu, MODIFIED wing chun and even the hybrid system, the second-rate JKD!! Only TRADITIONAL WING CHUN is complete, and has ALL the elements needed for self defense in the streets! This includes wing chun grappling (it uses the ten concepts as well), anti-takedown defense, locks and throws, arm bars, sweeps, elbows, knees, palm strikes, REALISTIC SCENARIOS that occur on the street (which gives you muscle memory for that response and makes it AUTOMATIC and INSTANTANEOUS, something NO OTHER SYSTEM DOES!), WEAPONS TRAINING AND DEFENSE, AND MULTIPLE OPPONENT TRAINING!!! NO BOXING DERIVATIVE OR SPORTS-ORIENTED MARTIAL ART DOES THAT!!! MUAY THAI, JIU JITSU, BOXING, AND ALL BOXING DERIVATIVES ARE CRAP FOR THE STREETS BECAUSE THEY ARE MISSING THESE KEY ELEMENTS!! Bruce Lee only learned 2/3rds of the crappy, incomplete, MODIFIED system, and that is why he saw flaws and stiffness, because in the modified system, which is incomplete, they use only 6 of 10 concepts, which adds flaws and stiffness! And JKD is even worse!! It adds flawed, boxing derivative systems, that not only add more flaws and stiffness, the more systems you add, but you also have to learn literally, ONE HUNDRED techniques, which makes it difficult to pick out the CORRECT one for that attack! TWC has only 6 single-hand techniques that you can use FOUR ways (left, right, in and out), which makes TWENTY FOUR response to any upper body response! Boxing derivatives are lucky to have more than EIGHT! This is THREE TIMES the amount of responses, and THIS is why the system is so flexible, and THIS also gives you more responses to any attack! GET IT NOW, ASSHOLE? Your crappy systems can't even come CLOSE to traditional wing chun!!!
@@mightymeatmonsta First thing you're taught in a GOOD martial arts school is to stay calm. You're reaction shows me a lot. You're a hot head and if you haven't had your assed kicked yet I'd be surprised. You're entitled to your opinion. And it's so good that Bruce Lee had to modify it right?
@@mightymeatmonsta You talk too much. You're a mouthymeatlmonsta So you think you have something on Bruce? Ha! You must live your life posses off. Sad!

He had all of them down in seconds his hands ,feet went flying. Wow! Casey was a long distance swimmer very fit but he had bad high blood pressure because of his job and city life in Hong Kong . Moving to Hawaii suppose to give him peace of mind. Casey always told me stories of IP man ,his brother and Bruce Lee. We would have long talks about kung fu follow through continuing motion in Wing chun. Focus point is beyond your striking target. I lost contact with Casey he moved to the States east coast to be near his grand children and children. God bless you Casey Cheung & William Cheung humble masters
@Jeff Cockmann i appreciate what you are saying its all about perception. My dad taught both me and my brother but i learned things my brother didnt like wise. To me its dept and perception also individual personality. Glamour has its moments on us humans. Stay cools.
@Jeff Cockmann No, that's not correct. Grand Master William practices Traditional Wing Chun!
@Jeff Cockmann It's all a load of bollocks. Olympic records get broken every year because things progress. Fighting has moved on and anybody paying attention knows the chun just does not work when pressure tested period.
Tell me the names of 5 WC "masters" who you think know the "realz".
Now link me to a video of them full contact fighting a fully resisting opponent.
When you find it impossible to find such videos where all the gracies with the exact same claims (effective system, small man can beat stronger bigger man) have HOURS of footage proving their claims ask yourself honestly why.
Spar outside your gym and you will instantly get your answer.
@Jeff Cockmann right, and who else is qualified to question him??? Nobody, in my opinion. I would say zip, except Sir to him.
@Jeff Cockmann Unaware of past. Forgive a humble servant...
I love training with this guy! After a lot of seminars with him I can honestly say he always has more to teach. Thank you Sifu.
I enjoy (respect) the use of pressure point hand strikes & using only 1 step to the side. I'm too disabled to kick & to jump around. I was told by MANY surgeons & physicians to accept being wheel chair bound. That was over 20 years ago. To me accepting a wheel chair was the same as surrendering. I've adjusted to using quick pressure point strikes & using only 1 foot step to either side or forward in rare instances . This video validates my unwillingness to stay in a wheel chair and to use ONLY effective hand strikes. Thank you 😊!
Thank you very much for this video.
To be serious, I have seen a lot of so called martial artists just showing off, especially here on TH-cam.
But this is different. What I like about it, is first of it all, the very kind and calm way of Master Cheungs teaching. Second thing is, what is shown here, really works. Does it make you invincible? Of course not. Can it makes you a better fighter? It depends on you and if you can adapt the principles shown in here. Best benefit is, a Man like Master Cheun can teach you to be a better human. Less rude, more kind.
Even when I´m an elder Judo and Japanese Jiu-Jiutsu guy, I apreciate this lessons and try to evolve personally, by learning as much as I can.
Blesses.
I was thinking similar thoughts. My very last karate class I ever took as a young fella, I came home, showered, and watched the two towers go down in NYC on the late night news (yes I'm an Aussie) Patience, confidence, inner peace is foremost before aggression. It's what my sensei's drilled into me. Watching all styles over the years since (thank you internet), just shows it's all physics, and these masters have tapped into the most efficient ways of dealing with bio-mechanics. Thanks for sharing this vid guys.
@Fisticuffs Guilde No it is not bullshit, it's knowing when and where to use these techniques, if you have your opponent under control you can then use these techniques, Trying to do a pressure point strike on a skilled, moving opponent is, I agree, difficult and not a wise thing to try! All techniques have a time and a place, if you manage to control your opponent in say, a headlock then a pressure point strike, if a strike is the right word, perhaps placing your weapon, (Thumb maybe) and applying steady pressure on the correct point is a better description.
Fisticuffs Guilde , that’s why you practice a lot to develop muscle memory . That’s why you don’t have to think about what to do in a fight!!!! Muscle Memory!!!
@@andrecummings13 Then why did i not go down when a saber fencer accidentally hit his saber in two pieces on the back of my neck.
jpsholland , I’m glad you brought that up because your question proves we have pressure points!!!! See you was hit on the back of your neck according to you but you WASN’T knocked out but if hit in the right spot you’re knocked out, it’s called pressure points but you have to practice to know where they are without thinking about it, your sarcasm proved me to be RIGHT!!!!
Speaks very good English. Seems like a fine gentleman and a good teacher.
I was thinking the extra same thing before I seen your post. His English is first class
He is a LEGEND the Grand Master of the Wing Chung Kung Fu and the friend of Bruce Lee
It would be a dream come true to study under the Supreme ~ Grandmaster: William Cheung!
@@yashodara1239 Is Grandmaster William Cheung still alive?
Grandmaster Williams is the best khung fu pressure points tactics which is easy to learn when you concentrating on the methods he uses for me to learn his tactics needs to focus more and practice it daily.
Passing this guy in a crowd or talking to him, you'd never think it because he appears to be very gentle - but he's actually a dangerous guy. His fighting skill is the result of a lifetime of dedication, discipline and devotion to the art. Impressive!
Kung fu, taichi and other chinese "martial arts" only sound good and look good entertainment wise but applying it to a real hand to hand combat these masters would get exposed by a typical mma fighter.
Good/expert martial arts never get into fights
Myself and brother during our teenage years in the 90s used to get IKF magazines and would read all grandmaster Cheung's articles and then imagine him being our teacher..
I was madly in love with traditional Wing Chun. Grandmaster Cheung remain steadfast and loyal to his sifu Yip Man's teachings. Bruce Lee had different views so much so that he thought traditional Wing Chun wasn't enough for him(and the rest is history may his soul rest in peace)! But for me I would stick to TWC as grandmaster Cheung. It's an honour to see Grandmaster Cheung in video.
Besides his martial arts skills he has an admirable handwriting ability.
Today thanks to TH-cam 👌 that we could watch him...
Would love to meet him in person someday. Much love and respect to him.
je l´merci tout les jours de M. William cheung. I thank him every day from Mr. William cheung.
Thanks for posting this video. Grandmaster William Cheung seems like a great person to be around.
Wouldnt the elbow not be necessary because of the fist strike?...This stuff never goes according to plan because of movement dynamics change constantly
This is beautiful. I will review this often. It keeps the peace, without unnecessary violence.
Wow...you're a delusional clown. Please don't ever step up to someone that really knows how to fight because you will get embarrassed and prob very very physically hurt.

And there is the difference in a true martial artist and most MMA thugs, no disrespect just dropping some truth.
@@keithschultz4187 Yes fighting for money and using the arts as a way of life are truly different. One is to introduce F.E.A.R and the other is to live without it. 8 directions of the Way. Their is only one Way. thx enjoy

Very professional teacher determined and very detailed in every move about self defense very clear explanation...
cifu I am aikido and I'm afraid you are not the only one. most of your instructions I teach in my class. especially the blind side, and elbow control. blessings!
Val Tito good to hear! Peek A Boo Boxing also teaches blind side development n attacking... Iron Mike Tyson employed it as his killing zone.
What a privilege to even watch, and what an opportunity it must have been to be there. Thank you.
I wish my granddaughter had a teacher like him! Fantastic demostration!! ❤
What a good teacher. Well clarified conveyance of conceptual principles.
Balance, relative positioning, leverage and fluidity of striking!!!
KEEPING IT REAL SIMPLE AND TO THE POINT . EXCELLENT TEACHER / TRAINER . PAY ATTENTION AND LEARN , APPLY AND PRACTICE REGULARLY UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE . YOU'LL THANK YOURSELF LATER .
What an honor and a privilege to be trained by this true Master and a gentleman.
What a happy and delightful video to watch; his insight and willingness to teach in a manner that is life-affirming is an example rather than a warning of how to "be." Many practitioners are no nonsense and sometimes difficult to watch despite their competency; it's Sifu William Cheung's teaching style, perspective and wisdom that made watching his seminar worth exploring. Thank you for sharing Sifu Cheung!
I agree , second time I watch
@@-Atmos1 a
Need more lesson need more help on them thank you!
this was best lesson I have come across in life.thanks master WILLIAN CHEUNG
That was a brilliant demonstration of control, deflection, and use of a side step to the 45 degree to control your opponent. Thank you.
Boxers use this same technique. Vasyl Lomachenko and mike Tyson are masters of this.
What an Honor to witness SIFU teaching on youtube . I can't imagine training with him in real life.
What a patient trainer Mr Cheung is, I'm not really young myself any more and appreciate how age has provided such wisdom and he explains with simplicity simple truths of self defense. He probably is a great source of many learned things over his years he is probably a good listener as well. His ability to observe and gently teach the technics and corrections of the discipline required to utilize these great self defense strategies that seem with some training the average violent encounter doesn't have to be a fearful experience to the average person. Thank You Mr Cheung also a kind gentlemen I can see he must have a loving wonderful family who loves him very much.
Beautiful, clean and simple!
Excellent stuff, thanks for posting this...it is always awesome seeing Grandmaster William Cheung in action. :)
William Cheung .much respect to you and your family and team beautiful style and training. Peace

This is my favorite video of my life I have trained with seifu kimo wong for very short time but I still remember everything
I don't have time to watch this right now, but i sense i have found gold.
My best regards and humble admiration, respect to you Grandmaster William Cheung. Greatly appreciate for sharing your Wing Chung Pressure Points martial arts moves. It's a practice to bring each individual harmony in there body, mind and spirit, it should only be used having the full consciousness state of mind and only using it as the last resort of self defense. Please continue sharing more of your videos, and or please let me know if you have school in New York City?
My best regards

Excellent demo. Wish I could have been there in person. Confirms the old saying: "keep things simple"!
Grandmaster Cheung & Shifu Zak,
Thank you for this TH-cam.
Shifu is Chinese. Isn’t Cheung Korean?
What a kind way of teaching! beautiful
GrandAdan ooo. O. Lol, I :/ hit up az
No. It's awful.
wow! how lucky are we all to be in this age getting this good quality education.. 5 years later! so grateful for this video
Thank you Grandmaster Cheung for making and sharing this video.
This was an excellent demonstration. Thanks 🙏🏻
Much love and Respect to Grandmaster Cheung , a true Gentleman.
Control the elbow and blindside the jive turkey. In all seriousness though, this man is greatness, thank you Grandmaster.
@@checkandbalance2903
First of all,wing chung IS greater than any offensive 1 2 3 combination of punches.
If someone gives a demonstration he needs the person to stand still,otherwise it would not work.
You just proved the point.. if the other person would t stand still it won’t work. No one stands still in a real fight. You see ??
@@checkandbalance2903
Will you fight against your teacher for a demonstration?
Mr Benedictine I Boxed. We got in the ring and sparred and when you do it for real you understand that there is a vast chasm between “demonstrating “ and a real actual fight. In demonstration the partner is cooperating... its like dance where both sides know the moves. In a real fight your opponents isn’t going to do that. The punches will have way to much force to simply slap away. Look there are more than enough examples of Wing chun, akido, Ect.. practitioners getting destroyed in real fights against average MMA fighters. I was a slightly above average amateur boxer... I haven’t fight in over 15 years yet I guarantee you that my jab is STILL hard and fast enough that there is no way your catching it. Or simply redirecting it consistently in a real fight. We have seen enough MMA matches to know that a mix of grappling , wrestling, physical strength and boxing/ kickboxing easily destroyer ANY martial art alone. A DIVISION ONE wrestler shoots a double leg takedown and no wing Chung or akido move is stopping it.
@@checkandbalance2903
Then i hope there are diciplines out there who learn from experience and not a movie from donnie yen.
Perfection..
His lecture was really amazing
What are a brilliant teacher so patient and knowledgeable A true grand master
He was coming to my country when I was young training martial arts.
Belgrade. He is excellent chess player.
He aged a bit. Nice to see him still doing what he loves to.
His teacher was legendary IP man.
I am now in Vancouver Canada.
We need right masters here.
William Chang used to live in Australia before I don't know where he lives now.
that large guy wearing 'I am not a number' is surely going to go straight to his enemy home after the lesson.
For real he looks like a man not to be trifled with.
he's lasered in no doubt. he's gpt purpose
What the hell you meant about that stupid ass make sense when you talk. Asshole
@@realist199 strong words. I meant more along the lines of greg above. I wasn't talking about his size, i see something in his eyes and body language. A quiet timidity that could lead to a bit of instability once he has the confidence of training. No movie influence at all. I've actually seen this in person.
It was an honor to meet such an amazing icon as Sifu William Cheung a few years back.
No. He's a phony.
I am not wing chun or jkd follower but i know that william cheung is a one of the last ambassadors of kungfu in the world. People should respect him very much.
Thanks, great master William for sharing these specific strikes.
love how a Grandmaster teaches his students....
Me? I like peanut &... jelly.😋🍞🍯
This is very good information. I love Wing Chun, all the lineages
Same!
This is Tong Long..... all day ! I learned that 30 years ago from Malcolm Sue !
Thanks Si Fu
it's 27 mins my friend. And packed with gold
Nice instruction on pressure points and control. As far as being the only one to teach about the "blind side" we are taught that in the TSD / SBD MDK system.
Thank you for your videos @grandmaster!
God I love him : "I'm too old for this shit, I don't want to deal with 2 arms and 2 kness, so I hit him on the blind side !"
NEVER TOO OLD
Never too old mate, 6 months in - still crap. Just sometimes I get it; feel it - see it.. just sometimes; but knowing my luck !!!. Went to China 3 years ago .. 90 year olds. Success and keep it up.
Thank you grandmaster, and Hello from Townsville.
I love asian people and esp their culture and history. This man is so wholesome. even tho i only watched a few minutes, it would be an honor to learn from him. this is that real traditional shit right here.
@Zoe Chang come on guy he wasn't going for that yer just being a prick
@Zoe Chang who asked tho? he never said anything like they are all the same you just immediately had to jump down his throat
First let me say thank you Grandmaster William Chung for showing these simple techniques to these young students.
Your manner of instruction is from the heart and not the fist. It has always been that way. Great Grandmaster Yip Man was very wise to choose you as senior instructor. You give him great honor.
Your vast knowledge is legendary and yet so humble..
Some may choose the WAY and some may not.
Ten thousand rivers flow into the sea; the sea is never full.
Bullshit. He's a fake.
Thank you for your wonderful video and your great presentation very easy to understand very sensible thank you so very much for this wonderful video
Wado Ryu teaches to control on the “blindside” aswell. Thanks for sharing
WHO INVENTED WADO?
All genuine Wing Chun has this. The problem is that genuine wing chun is not easy to find nowadays.
The best tip i ever had in 40yrs training was to carefully observe your opponents breathing. Nobody attacks when breathing in, it may seem like nothing but this simple trick gives you the split second difference you need in a real self defence situation
I control my breathing's rhythm and unless I am totally committing full power to a technique often jab and kick while breathing both out and in.
@@FrancisMaxino That's good and very unusual, full power can only be achieved when breathing out I believe. A 9th dan TKD I trained with (Master Kim Yung Ho) said to me that all martial arts are 90% the same, the secret being relaxation and breathing, the 10% remaining being the differences in technique. Didn't really understand at the time although I do now! I did Wing Chun for years before i trained in Tae Kwon Do and we were taught to put an upward twist in the punch, connecting with the bottom 3 knuckles, kind of 90 degrees different to the Karate punch twist if you understand my meaning. This puts more power into the punch and I have never seen this demonstrated in any online Wing Chun videos. I wonder why. What do you think?
Like the karate thrust punch, easier said than done, plus, let's face it, when under duress, not wanting to get hit, we tend to resort to the "street" type of fighting,
@João Fernandes do attackers throw punches, while talking?
In other words, is it best to strike, when the person is talking trash?
@@stevebrindle1724 the WC punch is much faster and just as brutal. Furthermore, there is a way to punch at full power without injuring your hand. (Not unique to WC).
he's a very skilled martial artist when he moves the height of his head stays the same if he is going forward or attacking using angles the height of his head height stays the same and this way people cannot Telegraph when you start to move also he has excellent timing and his movement is excellent you can tell he is a excellent martial artist very very skilled martial artist thank you for this video
Actually thats what makes him a bad ma; if your head stays at the same place every time you move and strike, its way easier to get hit.
when he moves forward or does angles his head stays the same height his movement when he does angles it's just enough to avoid the punch and close enough for him to counter and punch a lot of people when they move forward the head goes upward I'm a lot of people go to the side the height of their head moves this is how you can Telegraph when someone's going to come towards you because their head raises up when they go to move
@@kentbarger6974 proper head movement is not telegraphing, cause it happens simultaneously, not before you start movement. Just get familiar with boxing fundamentals, its an eye opener for traditional martial arts.
Wow 4 minutes in and I’m already impressed
These people are soo blessed together this experience.
Thanks for the share.
Love the content!
Why do so many martial artists think that this man's teachings aren't any good, I have found that it certainly works for me, but keep in mind that one will not know what they are going to do, strike ,block, side step etc.every martial arts form is great and does work, and they have been fighting systems that are thousands of years old ,proven moves.
William Cheung in the 1980's in various international martial arts magazines told everyone that when he lived with Yip Man between 1955 and 1958 he inherited Traditional Wing Chun. The Wing Chun that he and the rest of Yip Man's students learnt in the school from Yip Man was the modified Wing Chun taught to Yip Man by his first master Chan Wah Shun a less efficient version. The Traditional Wing Chun being the original art passed to Yip Man from his 2nd master Leung Bik. The tradition in the original art was to pass the art from Grandmaster to Grandmaster. So to teach the art more openly but still retain the Traditional art within the family the less efficient version was taught. People hate on William Cheung because if he is right they have learnt something perceived as having less value. So they turn it around and call him the liar or the fake. Those that have learnt both methods and have some fighting experience know which is more useful. From a practical point of view most side with Cheung. So thats the reason William gets so many negative comments. In shooting the videos I let people see what he teaches so they can make up their own minds by seeing Traditional Wing Chun as its taught.
In short it's all politics
"Why do so many martial artists think that this man's teachings aren't any good," because they are not "martial artists" but mma fanbois, aka: they have no clue about martial arts.
To a point.
My experience in talking with some Cheung students, is that their "traditional" system, was far, far superior to the "modified", to the extent that they rejected chi-ger. Even IF it wasn't "original" why scoff at what is a valuable training tool?
Simple it's no good against more live tested Martial Arts .
wing chung looks interesting. I never paid much attention until I saw this video. Sounds pretty good.
yeah? try it in a real fight, and you're out on the pavement before you can say 'chi'.
Dont listen to the dumb brainless racist above me continue in ur ma and u will find your opponent on the ground before u can even say chi

@@adonijahbonds6405 ?
The "I am not a number" guy scares me more than the teacher lol. Good video though, he is a great teacher. Calm and very thorough.
You know he's going straight to his enemy the second he left class
Good teaching he makes sure you understand everything very clear lots of tips grate knollege
So blessed for this video share. Especially when my age is starting to limit self defense options I used to be effective in🙏
A smart videographer would have backed up the camera to show the foot movements. A novice will never get it unless they can see and follow the footwork.
VERY TRUE STATEMENT!!! Good observations Mr. Lorenze!
Even then, they may not get it if they do not understand what they are seeing. How the balance is shifted, relative to centre of balance, roughly tan tien point. Or lower if the legs are more developed, which means slight squatting can change a lot, without it being obvious how it is affecting mechanical leverage and purchase.
Parrotshootist 🤔💭your right... better not video the hands either then🤗.
it's only a basic scenario not an in-person training session
Train in the dark
William Cheung, Grand-master, was Bruce Lee's close friend when they were teens and shared the same instructor. -BruceLee Fans
yip man ...in brazil
"The vibration tells me he's going to kick so I can stop it" he's amazing 🙏🏾
Good masters know techniques. True masters know principles in the techniques. Master Leung is a true master. Kudos
I had the honor and pleasure of meeting Grandmaster Cheung in Denver, CO at a seminar that also marked his 50th birthday. An amazing man in every way. Not “just” a martial artist. Now I’m the one who’s 50 years old😜 He instructed us to give ourselves “room to move” and to not always crowd our opponent if doing so restricted our own movement as well. That stuck with me, and became the name of my TH-cam channel 👍🏻😎
Was anyone else recommended this during the 2020 riots?
Oddly so....but I did enjoy😁
I have been training in Tae Kwon Do since I was 10, (41 years) got my black belt at 16 year's old tested under General Choi himself. 6 year's for a black belt (I didn't go to a belt factory school) got my 1st degree 2 year's later at 18 and that's when I was able to go to Black belt classes after regular class and there is were I learned how to defend myself.
General Choi Hong Hi was another fantastic Teacher. ITF Taekwondo is a great system. I adopted much from that style.
Hand trapping. I learned this in American Kenpo. Extremely effective when properly executed.
@@mightymeatmonsta No that's not it's primary feature. All the same it's very efective. . it also has a broad range of strike and defenses.
@@mightymeatmonsta Every movement made is contingent. No one martial art is better than another. Everything you use is a tool. You don't use a crescent wrench to pull a spark plug out of a motor. Wing Chun like a lot of other martial arts are not complete. As you may have witnessed the effectiveness of adding jiu jitsu or Muay Thai boxing to any repertoire . Bruce Lee himself attests to this and MMA. Don't get stuck in a box.
@@stalker7892 No, you're wrong and a fucking IMBECILE!! Wing chun is like NO OTHER MARTIAL ART on the planet! It uses 10 concepts, angled steps and a body rotation towards the attack, corkscrewing techniques that allow us to dissipate power across the arm or leg, the centerline AND central line theory, and has NO INITIAL FLAWS OR STIFFNESS AND IS THE MOST FLEXIBLE SYSTEM ON THE PLANET BECAUSE OF THIS! Boxing has MAJOR FLAWS and is incomplete! And so are ALL boxing derivatives, jiu jitsu, MODIFIED wing chun and even the hybrid system, the second-rate JKD!! Only TRADITIONAL WING CHUN is complete, and has ALL the elements needed for self defense in the streets! This includes wing chun grappling (it uses the ten concepts as well), anti-takedown defense, locks and throws, arm bars, sweeps, elbows, knees, palm strikes, REALISTIC SCENARIOS that occur on the street (which gives you muscle memory for that response and makes it AUTOMATIC and INSTANTANEOUS, something NO OTHER SYSTEM DOES!), WEAPONS TRAINING AND DEFENSE, AND MULTIPLE OPPONENT TRAINING!!! NO BOXING DERIVATIVE OR SPORTS-ORIENTED MARTIAL ART DOES THAT!!! MUAY THAI, JIU JITSU, BOXING, AND ALL BOXING DERIVATIVES ARE CRAP FOR THE STREETS BECAUSE THEY ARE MISSING THESE KEY ELEMENTS!! Bruce Lee only learned 2/3rds of the crappy, incomplete, MODIFIED system, and that is why he saw flaws and stiffness, because in the modified system, which is incomplete, they use only 6 of 10 concepts, which adds flaws and stiffness! And JKD is even worse!! It adds flawed, boxing derivative systems, that not only add more flaws and stiffness, the more systems you add, but you also have to learn literally, ONE HUNDRED techniques, which makes it difficult to pick out the CORRECT one for that attack! TWC has only 6 single-hand techniques that you can use FOUR ways (left, right, in and out), which makes TWENTY FOUR response to any upper body response! Boxing derivatives are lucky to have more than EIGHT! This is THREE TIMES the amount of responses, and THIS is why the system is so flexible, and THIS also gives you more responses to any attack! GET IT NOW, ASSHOLE? Your crappy systems can't even come CLOSE to traditional wing chun!!!
@@mightymeatmonsta First thing you're taught in a GOOD martial arts school is to stay calm. You're reaction shows me a lot. You're a hot head and if you haven't had your assed kicked yet I'd be surprised. You're entitled to your opinion. And it's so good that Bruce Lee had to modify it right?
@@mightymeatmonsta You talk too much. You're a mouthymeatlmonsta So you think you have something on Bruce? Ha! You must live your life posses off. Sad!
