EWC Review:
This is an excellent DVD, one of my favorites. It has a lot of good functional strength exercises for applying strikes, lots of excellent applications for the strikes and a very comprehensive list of strikes and conditioning exercises for the hands, forearms and elbows. Dit Da Jow massage techniques are even included. This DVD will help you improve your Wing Chun, no matter what your lineage is.

What it’s about:
This DVD covers the essentials of Wing Chun Kung Fu wall bag training, its associated warm up exercises and applications.
Comments:
Wing Chun as in many of the Chinese martial arts has training equipment unique in developing one’s power and skill in combative applications. Although most martial artists are aware of the Mook Jong or wooden dummy, used in training, perhaps many are unfamiliar with the three section wall bag in developing power. The first part of this DVD provides a great deal of time on the proper exercises or warm ups to prevent injury and damage to the internal organs, because of the acupuncture points associated with the fingers. So caution is given in preparing the hands and knowing how to strike the bag to minimize soft tissue damage. There are Chinese herbal preparations which are taken orally and herbs applied externally to the hands to promote the healing process. If you’re able to obtain the correct herbal preparation you actually could make the muscular of the hands far more lethal.
The DVD also provides excellent advice regarding the possible injury one could develop by striking someone in the mouth. Toward the end of this production a fellow Wing Chun practitioner, gives his account of being involved in a minor encounter; because he hit the person in the mouth and cut his hand on the opponent’s teeth; he got a serious infection that traveled up his arm, which resulted in several major surgical operations. The infection was so serious he almost lost his hand and he could have very well have lost his life! So think about the possible dangers of blood born infections should you find yourself in a fight.
If you’re looking for the kind of training DVD that will develop power in your technique and applications, such as using the sides of the hands, elbows, et cetera; it will provide you with some of what you’ll need. For the drill hungry instructor it has lots of partner drills with applications. And if you’re looking for a wall bag that has printed on its face the lateral and angular lines showing you where to hitÖyou might find this a useful instructional feature to orient your striking motion.
Again this DVD is packed with content and is well worth the investment. Wall bag training would benefit those who wish to learn how to strike with power and it would be an excellent compliment to Wooden Dummy practice.
