5 out of 5 stars Wing Chun: The Science of In-Fighting.......2007-03-09

This instructional dvd on Wing Chun is dated, but don't let that keep you from buying it - appreciate this dvd for the time it was produced. Even though it was produced in the 70s, it was very-well filmed and even a novice can learn from it. I would rate this dvd superior to many instructional martial arts being produced with today's technology which seem to be more about theatrics & CGI than instruction. As with any instructional dvd, do NOT expect to become a master by just viewing it, seek out a certified instructor & use the dvd as a training tool to perfect your skills.

2 out of 5 stars Helpful but skimpy.......2007-02-02

This dvd is somewhat helpful, but has no real depth to it.
It is dated, which isn't really bad, but you will notice it and I would like to make you aware of it.
It got a 2 star rating because it is Wing Chun, because routines were done right and because the price was right.
If you are looking for a home course to make you good at Wing Chun, this may help but it will not make you an expert by any stretch of the imagination.

5 out of 5 stars Good Introduction to Wing Chun.......2006-12-13

A good introductory DVD to the art of Wing Chun. The demonstration is from one of Wing Chun's most famous instructors. The DVD is older however and similar to a school video. It can lose your attention at times. Overall, there is good information on the DVD. As a Wing Chun instructor [1], I recommend this DVD.

5 out of 5 stars Great DVD.......2006-11-09

Despite the 1960s-type music at the beginning, this is a really excellent DVD on wing chun, with almost nothing extraneous. I keep watching it over and over again, and it really reinforces what I am learing at the wing chun school I attend. The teacher here clearly really knows his art. What I especially like is the slow detailing of each concept, but also they show the applications. For instance, they show sil lim dao (the first form in wing chun), and the next chapter is the "street application" of each part of sil lim dao. There is a lot "hidden" in wing chun, that you can only see on film (i.e. not from a book), and you get to see it here. Wing chun is really a lot more flexible and also more aggressive than many people think (what I mean by flexible is that, the forms show you the moves, but it is like chess, just because you know the moves individually doesn't mean you can put them together to win a chess match. The application side is how you use the moves, and like chess, it is almost infinite). A lot of people will see something and then say, "wow I didn't know that was in wing chun", but it is. It is really a good DVD on wing chun. I highly recommend it.

4 out of 5 stars A Great start DVD of Wing Chun.......2006-07-22

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 Simple & Direct.......2007-08-19

As a female practioner of JKD for the past three years, I have found this set of instructional DVD's to be of the utmost quality. Mr. Hajnasr's detailed, step-by-step instruction has helped me to develop a deeper understanding of the original art of Jeet Kune Do. I highly recommend this set for the excellent quality and extensive knowledge Mr. Hajnasr demonstrates. His passion for the art is contagious.

5 out of 5 stars '' 2 Thumbs Up '' on the Revised Edition !!!.......2007-07-25

Once again George has done an outstanding job on this version to say the least! This Edition is a revised version which still carrys his fire, passion , and enthusiasm for Jeet Kune Do!! He has also made it easy to follow along with professional quality DVD's for anyone to follow to increase their knowledge and skill of JKD'! Great job on a job well done!! Larry Milam

5 out of 5 stars Second to None.......2007-07-18

This is the best Jeet Kune Do/Martial Arts book and DVD set I have seen. The book is well written and easy to understand for the beginner and has a great deal of information for the advanced. I have a large collection of DVD's by some of the most well known Jeet Kune Do/Martial Arts practitioners' and George Hajnasr's set is second to none.

5 out of 5 stars These DVD's are a must for any martial artist.......2007-07-13

George Hajnasr's DVD set is one of the most informative series ever put together on the art of Jun Fan and Jeet Kune Do. As a Bruce Lee historian who has had over 30 articles published in martial arts magazines across the globe, I can vouch for Mr. Hajnasr's knowledge and skill. The DVD's are professionally done (an oddity in JKD) and contain a wealth of information that is presented in an easy, yet informative way. I highly recommend these DVD's.

4 out of 5 stars Great Video.......2004-11-17

I took Wing Jitsu for a year (This art was invented by my instructor) and always liked the wing chun side of it the best. I work late hours so I can not take a class so I have decided to get videos and work out with my fiends.

This video has some really good stuff. The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is cause they don't do a good job of covering the very basic concepts. That worked out for me cause I already knew them pretty much but if you have never take wing chun you may want to start with Wing Chun: The Science of In-Fighting. I know a lot of people say that you can not learn kung fu from a book or DVD but in the old days in China a lot of people learned from book as long as you have some one to practice with you should be able to learn from this DVD. I have already learned most of this DVD and can not wait to get the next one.

4 out of 5 stars Wing Chun Kung Fu Volume 1 by William M. Cheung.......2004-10-17

Wing Chun Kung Fu Volume 1 by William M. Cheung

Wing Chun Kung Fu Volume 1 is part of a 5 volume series by William Cheung. The series is available on VHS or DVD. I strongly recommend that you buy the DVD version. DVD's can be played on a home DVD player attached to the TV, a small, portable DVD player which can almost fit in your pocket, if you wear pants with large pockets like those military style dungaree pants some police and paramedics are wearing now days, or you can play DVD's on a laptop or note book computer that has an installed DVD/cd player. This would enable you to take your DVD lessons with you where ever you go and to view them whenever you have time. You can watch DVD's in Slow Motion or speeded up. You can freeze a scene to examine it as a still picture. You can capture images. DVD's have an interactive potential for the viewer which the VHS machines lack. This characteristic supports the viewers learning requirements for understanding a subtle or difficult move or concept being studied.

Wing Chun is the style of Kung Fu Bruce Lee learned before he developed his own style of Jeet Kune Do. Although, Bruce Lee created Jeet Kune Do in an attempt to develop a simpler yet superior means of fighting, he remained influenced by Wing Chun and incorporated some of its concepts into Jeet Kune Do. You will see it for yourself If you watch this video series by William Cheung and compare it with Jeet Kune Do by reading his books and maybe watching some videos of Jeet Kune Do such as the video adaptation of Bruce Lee's Fighting Method by Ted
Wong and Richard Bustillo.

Wing Chun is very unique from most traditional styles of Kung Fu or Karate. Simplicity is its main characteristic. There are only 3 stances which feel some what more natural than the many classical Kung Fu or Karate stances. Strikes and punches are thrown from the middle of the chest. The fist is given a flick of the wrist at the last instant upon contact with its target. I compare this to the flick of the wrist at the last instant as a base ball is pitched to add a little extra velocity to it. This manner of punching is very different from the traditional hand on hip and twist of the fist at the moment of contact found in classical Kung Fu and Karate.
Kicks are kept low, usually not higher than the opponent's waist. There is no exageration of the move's execution, such as the wide sweeps, large circles, and exagerated force used in classical blocks and strikes.

The strategy and attitude of a Wing Chun practitioner seems more similar to that of aikido and jujitsu practioners in that the practitioner of wing chun seeks to harmonize with his opponents force rather than to oppose it.

Volume 1 of Wing Chun begins a demonstration of the Sil Lim Tao form three times. Karate practitioners would think of it as a simple kata using only hand techniques.

Next, exercise drills of basic blocks are demonstrated. In contrast to classical Kung Fu and Karate where students are taught to block first, then counter with a strike or kick. Wing Chun practioners use both of their hands to block and strike or kick at the same time.

Demonstrations of Wing Chun basics are shown more than once from different angles.

William Cheung describes Wing Chun's strategy as being four steps or phases of attacking an opponent's balance, creating an opening in the opponent's defense, controlling the opponent's elbow and maneuvering the opponent into a position in which his arms become crossed and therefore unable to fight back when trapped in that position.

William Cheung demonstrates defenses against various punches, strikes and kicks. He and his assistant demonstrate combinations and the rolling punch technique.

Foot work is demonstrated by his assistant. This leads to demonstration of the Chum Kil form and its applications because Chum Kil incorporates foot work and kicks into the form.

William Cheung and his assistant end volume 1 of Wing Chun by demonstrating a means of Chi meditation.

I think this video series offers useful information and techniques to consider for every martial artist. If you appreciate intelligent systems of fighting, you will not be disappointed with this series. However, some people might have not much use for volume 4 which is about fighting with chinese butterfly knives and a long staff called a dragon pole.

4 out of 5 stars Good Wing Chun DVD.......2004-11-27

This DVD has a lot of good stuff in it. I do think they should have put the Chi sau information befor the Bil Gi form cause they put all three forms so close together with not as many technics in between as I would have liked. Also when he is teaching some of the Chi sau technics he does not do a real good job explaining it but if you watch what he does closly you can figure it out so I am still giving the dvd 4 stars.

4 out of 5 stars Wing Chun Kung Fu Volume 2 by William Cheung.......2004-10-17


Wing Chun Volume 2 by William Cheung

This Volume of Wing Chun lessons demonstrates the Bil Jee form, the third form of Wing Chun after Sil Lim Tao and Chum Kilj, both of which were demonstrated in Volume 1. The demonstration is done twice by William Cheung. After the second demonstration, William Cheung's assistant performs broken sequences of moves from the Bil Jee form for which William Cheung explains and demonstrates the application of the sequence of moves.

Next, William Cheung instructs about the pressure point targets on the body of the opponent to strike. This is called dim mak in chinese. In Japanese styles, it's called atemi or sometimes kyusho.

William Cheung prepares us for Chi Sao, a very unique exercise to develop ambidextrious skill in hand techniques, reflexes, harmony with the opponent's kinetic energy to sharpen perception, timing and in general fluid execution of techniques, by having us practice the moves of Chi Sao with one hand while the other is stationary on the hip. Then, the other hand is put through the same drill while the first hand is held stationary on the hip.

William Cheung gradually instructs us into using both hands in Chi Sao exercises and introduces techniques, tactics and short strategies to trap the opponents hands and arms to open up his defense and imobilize his arms by thoughtful manuevering and keeping William Cheung's "BOEC" strategy in mind while looking for the moment of opportunity to execute the strategy.

This series of Wing Chun videos and DVD's is full of useful tips to use in any style of fighting. Any serious martial artist will appreciate the wealth of practical application of the moves demonstrated by William Cheung and his assistant in this series.

3 out of 5 stars Wing Chun Kung Fu, Volume 3 by William M. Cheung.......2004-10-17



Wing Chun Kung Fu Volume 3 by William M. Cheung


This Volume 3 of Wing Chun Kung Fu is Primarily about Wing Chun training on the wood dummy used by kung fu practioners. Therefore, I suspect that many viewers who are not Wing Chun practioners but are merely interested in viewing some of the advantages or unique qualities of Wing Chun, perhaps to look for tips in training and to increase their arsenal of martial art techniques and tactics, will be impatient with all the scenes of wooden dummy training maybe to the point of being disatisfied with the purchase of this volume.

I don't think there is much new in this volume in the way of applications of sequences of moves to which have not already been covered in volumes 1 and 2. However, there are at least 11 breaks in the scenes of wooden dummy training during which times the previously executed moves on the wooden dummy are demonstrated as applications of moves in fighting between William Cheung and his assistant. Each set of move sequences are demonstrated several times for the viewer to follow. I do think that any serious practioner of Wing Chun or any one who wants to become a serious practioner of Wing Chun will be satisfied with the purchase of this volume.

This whole series of Wing Chun Kung Fu is available in both VHS and DVD. I sincerely recommend that you buy the series in DVD because DVD viewing has certain characteristics, absent in VHS viewing, which supports an almost interactive learning process if the viewer knows how to use the controls and functions of his or her DVD player. Furthermore, Wing Chun is an intelligent fighting system with some subtle and clever moves which are easy to miss while observing William Cheung and his assistant demonstrate them. Use DVD slow motion play back and freeze scenes where ever there is a scene or sequence of moves you need to observe for better understanding.

After the completion of all the coverage on wooden dummy training and the applications of their moves in fighting, William Cheung and his assistant demonstrate more Chi Sao moves, techniques and tactics which he had begun in volume 2.

5 out of 5 stars Wing Chun Kung Fu, Volume 5 by William M. Cheung.......2004-10-20


Wing Chun Kung Fu, Volume 5 by William M. Cheung

This volume 5 of the video or DVD series simultaneously summarizes basic concepts already covered in previous volumes in a clever, almost imperceptible manner of blending the concepts in with some new scenarios.

General topics covered in this volume include Wing Chun Fighting Strategy, Tactics and Techniques to deal with other fighting styles in opening moves, Dim Mak, defense against various confrontation scenarios against an armed assailant wielding various weapons, at the conclusion of this volume William Cheung and his assistant perform the Chi Meditation ritual again.

Wing Chun Kung Fu fighting strategy integrates a unique combination of basic, elemental concepts to form the strategy into the system as it is learned and practiced. These are the basics: guarding the center line of the body from attack, attacking the opponent's balance, opening the opponent's defense to counter attack, gaining control of his elbow and maneuvering him or setting him up to have his arms crossed to which will hamper his efforts to attack and provide the opportunity for the defender to take the offensive at the moment of best opportunity. Other elements of Wing Chun strategy include avoiding a clash of force against force or power of the defender against power of the attacker. In this regard Wing Chun shares with aikido and jujitsu practitioners a similar strategy and attitude in dealing with an attack.

William Cheung's series of Wing Chun Kung Fu demonstrations on VHS or DVD is consistent with the information contained in James Yimm Lee's book, "Wing Chun Kung Fu" as well the books authored by William Cheung such as "Advanced Wing Chun Kung Fu." The VHS and DVD series bring the illustrations of these books to life.

Any Karate or Kung Fu practitioner will be able to appreciate what Wing Chun Kung Fu has to offer or contribute to their own practice of martial arts.

Although this series of Wing Chun Kung Fu demonstrations is available on DVD or VHS, I recommend that you buy this series on DVD so that you can replay sequences of moves and the applications of moves in fighting in slow motion or freeze scenes for better examination.

    4 out of 5 stars Pretty good.......2006-07-26

    I was pretty satisfied with this Wing Chun DVD by William Cheung.
    Vol. 4 shows both Butterfly sword forms and Dragon Pole forms and their applications vs each other. (Title/Cover from volume number does not give information on what it will teach...amazon reviewers, please include current reviewed DVD vol. and what it will cover if others not done so). William Cheung's 3x repetition was helpful for me catch up without rewinding too much. His vocabulary was somewhat limited that slightly hinders it from being a perfect instructional DVD but its nothing to worry bout after continuously watching it over again.

    The only thing I didn't like was the DVD options was very limited. There are no chapter select, so I have to manually fast foward the DVD all the way to the last 24 remaining minutes that teaches Luk Dim Boon Kwan (Dragon Pole form) Takes me bout 2-3 minutes realtime to wait til it reaches the Dragon pole part.

    Wing Chun Kung Fu, Volume 4 by William M. Cheung

    Wing Chun Kung Fu Volume 4 is part of a 5 volume series by William Cheung. The series is available on VHS or DVD. I strongly recommend that you buy the DVD version. DVD's can be played on a home DVD player attached to the TV, a small, portable DVD player which can almost fit in your pocket, if you wear pants with large pockets like those military style dungaree pants some police and paramedics are wearing now days, or you can play DVD's on a laptop or note book computer that has an installed DVD/cd player. This would enable you to take your DVD lessons with you where ever you go and to view them whenever you have time. You can watch DVD's in Slow Motion or speeded up. You can freeze a scene to examine it as a still picture. You can capture images. DVD's have an interactive potential for the viewer which the VHS machines lack. This characteristic supports the viewers learning requirements for understanding a subtle or difficult move or concept being studied.

    This volume of Wing Chun Kung Fu has William Cheung Demonstrating the Butterfly Sword form as well as its applications and fine points of the moves used against an opponent who is also armed with Butterfly swords and against an opponent armed with a staff or Dragon Pole as William Cheung calls it.

    Then, the use of the Dragon pole staff is demonstrated in form followed by its applications and fine points. In the use of the Dragon Pole the staff is held from one end to maximize speed and power in the other end to strike an opponent as opposed to holding it from its center as is done in many other styles.

    William Cheung has also authored or co-authored two books about the use of the Butterfly sword and Dragon pole weapons which are consistant with his performance in this video demonstration of their use. The two books are:
    "Kung fu butterfly swords" ISBN: 089750125X

    "Kung Fu Dragon Pole" ISBN: 0897501071

      5 out of 5 stars Recommend........2006-07-17

      I just received this DVD the other day and watched the entire thing. Good picture quality, good angles on the wooden dummy, and good application explanation. The one minor thing the DVD has that makes a huge difference when learning from a DVD is chapters (minus any thumbnail pics of the chapters). I have other wing chun DVDs that don't have chapters and believe me when you try and continue on the DVD where you left off without chapters you have to manually fast forward. For example the Wing Chun series released by William Cheung (which I also own, recommend, and has good information just no chapters). I intend to purchase the rest of this series if that says anything.
