Be a thinker!!.......2007-01-18

I have over a hundred and twenty books on martial arts. I have around forty to fifty dvds and tapes on the subjects of Wing Chun, Tai Chi, BJJ, Baguazhang, Xing-I, and much more. Amongst the Wing Chun dvds that I have are the series hosted by Benny Meng. Which I consider to be an excellent work. Yet there were some blanks that needed to be filled in.
In Mr. Michael Wong's dvd, some of these blanks were filled in. I purchased the fighting arts and self defense dvds, since the price was so good. Once I viewed them, I went and purchased the whole Wing Chun series.
One thing that is important in Martial Arts is that it be "ALIVE". You learn the form, system, kata, movements or whatever you would like to call it and then you practice on someone. In Mr. Wong's dvds, he emphasizes this. He states that you must train with an opponent that is not just doing what you wish him to do. That is why in time past they invented push hands and sticky hands. They had no way to safely test their skills with one another. So they had to devise a way to work with an opponent in a safe fashion but still get the feel of an uncooperative adversary. This is why Judo, Aikido and BJJ does what they do. Almost all their moves are made so that they can be performed on a partner without killing the other person. Hence they get the feel of an opponent that is fighting them.
When it comes to striking though, we have not been able to test our skills safely up until the past fifty or so years. With the advent of plastics and other essential materials, the striking arts can now practice with almost the same amount of intensity as a grappling art.
(Sorry to go off on a tangent, but on with what I thought of about Mr. Wong's Dvds. )

I believe that he sticks mainly within the parameters of Wing Chun. I don't believe that he chases hands (at least not too much), as one of the other writers said, yet I would say that one should investigate the art through several sources. In Benny Meng's DVDs (Who is the curator of the Wing Chun museum, by the way) he lists a side kick as part of the Wing Chun arsenal, so I do not see why anyone would think that a side kick is inappropriate for Wing Chun. Another issue that was brought up is simultaneous blocks and punches. This is not par for the course in any Wing Chun system that I have seen. With the exception of Bui Ji. True simultaneous blocking and striking must be preformed with one arm. If you are saying that Mr. Wong doesn't use Tan Sau while punching, or if you are saying that he doesn't perform Bui Ji in the right way. I must say that you are mistaken. If you wish an art with simultaneous blocking and striking, you would be much better off with Xing-I or Hsing Yi if you prefer.

We have the internet, dvds, cds and other learning devises. The old masters of the past martial arts did not have these options. They had a teacher and maybe a book or two. The teacher said this and they did it. What option did they have???
So I would purchase Mr. Wong's dvds if you are interested in Wing Chun. But I would also purchase from other recognized teachers ( such as the above mentioned, plus William Cheung, Garrett Gee and Randy Williams, etc.) on the art then compare and find the truth of the matter. Then see what works for you.
On last thought (sorry for blathering on). A greyhound cannot be a good sled dog and a Siberian Husky will never be the fastest dog a the track. So go out and find what martial art is right for you and pursue it.

Wing Chun made easy.......2006-07-02

Everything I read in the review prior to buying the DVD was absolutely true...that in itself speaks volumes, after there are many such DVD's to choose from.

Having done a few months of Wing Chun the DVD helped further my training, specially completing my training in Siu Lam Tao.

Are you kidding me?.......2006-03-25

I didn't find this video helpful in any way. In fact, the video was more funny than useful. I can't decide what was the most comical, between the stream of conscious dialog, the interview with a "law enforcement" official, or the scenes of the "master" filmed with a camcorder on the front lawn. As I watched this DVD, I could not help feel that I was being punked.

This is an awesome training DvD for Wing Chun! Sometimes the Dvd menu/format can be a little confusing at first but otherwise it's top notch. I can hardly wait to get thru this one and order another one of this guys DvDs. I was able to get this at a real bargain on Amazon for about 14$ usually this guys stuff is way higher. I will probably wait though for another one to go on sale and grab it! This is a real bargain!

Description

Wing Chun is widely recognized as one of the fastest styles in the world. It has a speed and directness of action that is difficult to match. Ideal for self defense as a starting point for further study of Martial Arts or simply as a hobby. Wing Chun is both challenging and rewarding and can be practiced anywhere. This DVD is based solely on Wing Chun as a self defense art. It draws on all three of the original forms but there is little or no training in specific movements or the forms themselves. Instead, the training is centered on real life application and situations that may arise. In its original form Wing Chun is already an outstanding self defense art but by drawing on his own extensive knowledge, Sifu Wong has created this Wing Chun hybrid to speed learning and make the techniques practical for all. Making use of a partner for much of the training, you will learn how to apply the techniques to people rather than dummies or in thin air. This form of teaching helps you to understand the energies and forces involved and also demonstrates how the techniques do not require great strength or flexibility to be able to use. Aimed to be an introduction into self defense, this DVD will give you an insight into the world of self preservation and martial arts that is available to everyone but exploited by few.

wing chun Self Defense.......2007-06-08

I thought the DVD was ok, but short. moves that where deminstarted where advanced. I was looking for a DVD with less skill needed. thank you. Kathy

Good training!.......2007-05-20

Bit fast and hard to follow at first, but master wong gives it to you in fast and slow motion...and you can pick and choose the various levels of training (close in.....amber zone..green zone..etc).

I am glad it is in my martial arts library

Particular Wong.......2007-01-19

This DVD might work for someone who has never trained any martial arts.
I had high expectations on this DVD and was dissapointed on Master Wongs performance (or Particular Wong as we came to know him, since every 3rd work is "particular"... which is not a point however).
He does manage to explain the basics of Wing Chun but fails to execute them in action. The main problem is that all his moves are so carefully planned that its like a dance. A Bad dance. Since Master Wong antisipates the incoming attacks he pays 100% attencion on his techniques making him self open to ANY other attack. Which is kind of scary look at. Even though he explains the same things over and over again this DVD is hard to follow. And this is not due the language barrier (I speak 7 languages).
I try not to only complain about the DVD. I pay respect to any one who has devoted them selfs to martialarts. It does have few nice techniques and ideas. But I would not recommend this to advanced practiseners.
I have trained activly for few decades. Several years in China and in Japan.

Not too shabby.......2006-08-31

This DVD does show some good techniques for basic self defense,including being attacked armed and unarmed. People that give this DVD a low rating are most likely disappointed because it is for SELF DEFENSE, not a guide to"whooping a**."

The reason I gave this a 4 rather than a 5 is the lack of detailed explaination. Most of this can be understood visually, but you are more than likely going to need to watch each lesson many times to fully learn the techniques.

I would definatly recommend practicing these moves with a friend, so if you need to use this in real life, you will be familiar and comfortable with it.

Multi-angles, good combinations, little or no cues.......2005-05-22

This starts out with some basic good stretching. Next, you see a woman demonstrating front, side & round kicks to a man wearing pads. There are about 2 different camera angles & she repeats the kicks many times on both sides. Michael Wong narrates only about 2 things. Mostly keep balance, don't kick as high at first, keep your guard up & an occasional, don't lock your joints. No additional or more detailed instruction is given. Next she does 2 diff elbow strikes many times again to a guy holding pads. Michael Wong says they teach women elbow since it's the strongest way to do upper body strikes & so won't hurt your wrists. There is also demonstrated knee in to the chest by grabbing the guy's shoulder first to push him down into the kick. Michael Wong mentions to make sure you use your hip to get more power.He repeated says to practice & use good, strong equipment.

Next shows a almost movie type real situation of the same woman gettting accosted & 3-5 elbow/kicks to get away. It is then demonstrated in the studio with a guy in pads. The combinations are great. Again, there is not enough instruction, but you get the idea enough, but I wish there was more detailed instruction instead of it just being demonstrated. There are about 6 diffrent situations/comintations that are repeatededly demonstrated. In one, the guy tries to take her cell phone out of her hand & how to break his wrist, but there almost no verbal cues, so you just had to watch & try to hopefuly get the idea of angle & how to hold the assailents hand. The moves & combos are GREAT, just wish more instruction.

There is about 6 or more basic punches & kickboxing combos demonstrated with a guy wearing pads again. Thre are no cues, just watch.

I love the combinations given, the demonstrations, the multi-angles, the real-life situations... But there should be MORE detailed teaching other then reminding you to keep your body & spine straight & keep balance.

The whole thing lasts about 55 min & there some additional bonus stuff like photo gallery, w weird animated movie & some trailers that aren't presented very well. The music is good though, moderate tempo with a great beat.

I would suggest this after doing Chuck Norri's Private Lesson basic martial arts DVD so you do not injure yourself.

Valuable DVD to Keep for Every Woman........2005-03-02

This is a great DVD. The lessons learned provide you with skills that can act as insurance in case you need it. It basically shows you the Kicks and the Elbows training. However the Kicks are more difficult to learn. Many Kicks from the "Real Life Situations" are above the waist level which are hard to follow by beginners. The Elbow trainings are easier.
