4 out of 5 stars A Great start DVD of Wing Chun   July 21, 2006
This is the first Wing Chun DVD I started off with. It covers some useful basic theories and concepts of Wing chun such as simultaneous block/attack, attack/protect centerline, redirecting force, deflection, armtrapping, minimum movement maximum efficiency. Shows 1 or 2 application usage for each of the 8 blocking/attacking forms of Wing chun.

Of the 3 empty hand forms of Wing Chun, this DVD does not cover any Chum kiu or Biu gee or barely. Only Sil lim tao and form breakdown, Chi sao one/two hand demonstration, retreat/advance footwork, shifting angles, and basic kick attacks.

A great start off DVD. I learned some useful fighting concepts and strategies that I can use almost immediately in a few days! Wing Chun is a very effective fighting system even on the streets. I can almost say it has an advantage over boxing because it uses simultaneous arms and leg attacks. Only a few DVDs ever found starring Sifu Wong Shun Leung. If you want to learn the other two empty hand forms or other advanced Wing Chun, also look for DVDs that has William Cheung or Gary Lam.



5 out of 5 stars Wing Chun for fighting   March 27, 2006
I bought the VHS version of this DVD many years ago. A definite buy for any Wing Chun, Jeet Kune Do or any Martial Artist. Production is top class, since it was produced by the same producer of Jackie Chan's classical movies "Snake in the Eagle's Shadow" and "Drunken Master". Master Wong Shun Leung's demonstration of using Wing Chun techniques to overcome an opponent in sticky hands are outstanding.
More Wing Chun instruction DVDs from Master Wong are available from http://www.wcarchive.com. However, these other DVDs are very expensive.
Another resource in top quality Wing Chun instruction are DVDs from Master Chu Shong Tin, also available from http://www.wcarchive.com (hopefully from amazon.com soon). While Master Wong concentrates on the fighting skills of Wing Chun in this 40 minute DVD, Master Chu explains body mechanics and demonstrates using no muscular force to uproot an opponent twice his size in sticky hands in details in DVDs lasting 10 hours.
My knowledge of Wing Chun is by trading my Tai Chi with my friend, who is from the Chu Shong Tin lineage.
We are so fortunate to learn from both Master Wong and Master Chu in these wonderful DVDs.



3 out of 5 stars Old film version in DVD format   October 23, 2005
  1 out of 4 found this review helpful

This video does its job of explaining and demonstrating the basic concepts Wing Chun kung-fu. It is a 40 minute video. I don't have any marshal arts experience but did pick up a few concepts and moves. The video is not in the greatest quality as it is filmed a while back (in the 80's I believe). It is just being converted to DVD format. When the DVD arrived in the mail, I opened it and noticed some scratches on the DVD. I did not bother to return it since it is inexpensive.


4 out of 5 stars Pleasantly Surprised   October 12, 2005
  0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I was not expecting much from this dvd, considering it was filmed in the early eighties, however I was genuinely surprised at how well it was put together.

It is completely free of irrelevant graphics, pointless camera angles, or mystical references. Much like good Wing Chun it is straightforward and effective.

It's worth the price alone just to see Grandmaster Wong Shun Leung in action. Very impressive!



5 out of 5 stars Still one of the best Instructionals on Wing Chun.   August 31, 2005

This instructional will guide any Wing Chun practitioner in the right direction. Wong Sheung Leung was one of the best Wing Chun practitioners and teachers out there. If you haven't seen this video yet do yourself a favor and buy it.
