Comments:
Sifu Joseph Lee’s, instructional DVD contains a wealth of information on Wing Chun’s fighting system. It’s really not intended for the beginner; one must at least have a basic understanding of the system’s associated forms and principles to appreciate what’s there.
The viewer’s menu for this DVD is well organized and provides a convenient way to navigate through the various parts of its listed topical instructional categories and their sub-menus. For example, the first menu item is listed as “First Principles,” and its submenu list three topics associated with this first category, such as: 1. Bong Sao, 2. Pac Sao, 3. Huen Sao. Each segment is properly labeled and professionally narrated. The viewer will certainly appreciate the value of its instructional scenes which are demonstrated at regular speed and in slow motion.
For the novice Wing Chun practitioner, one can readily see the versatility of the system’s use of the hands as they are combined with complex movements of specific techniques. Perhaps the most difficult techniques to use are those associated with throwing the opponent to the ground. The disabling maneuvers of the hands in Wing Chun certainly make it easier to employ a throw, but don’t let Sifu Lee’s ability fool you in thinking that it can be easily done. It takes sensitivity and knowing how to properly leverage your body and movement to make the application an effortless one. Knowing how to properly throw an opponent, is perhaps more difficult than punching or kicking. One’s sense of timing is crucial in the application of throws. Perhaps, what should be remembered is that any throwing technique can be reversed, just as there are reversals or counter attacks for the hand techniques in Wing Chun applications.
For those curious individuals who wish to know; the same techniques used in throwing can be seen in Tai Chi Chuan and Chinese wrestling. One should look for the common thread that runs through all of them that make them work regardless of the style’s origins or tradition.
I would consider this DVD as a valuable resource which exhibits Wing Chun’s diverse applications in the use of the hands and feet. The application of counter attacks one may use to specific kinds of “hands” applied in Chi Sao are of particular interest as well as its demonstration of Chin Na and use of the shoulder as a devastating weapon of one’s body. This DVD by Joseph Sifu Lee is an above average production for all the information it contains and it would be an excellent investment to any DVD collection on Wing Chun instruction.
