Wing Chun Master Rates 8 Wing Chun Fights In Movies | How Real Is It? | Insider

Sherlock: Feral is gone. Weaken the right jaw. That elbow that comes in is very weak. You can't elbow like that. Your elbow has to be locked. Body in line, full body turn, blocking. This way you can control it more. Movement of the whole body. My name is Master Wong. I have been training Wing Chun for about 35 years, and I started training in the UK, and then also trained in China. Today, I will watch some Wing Chun

movies

and clips and see how

real

they are. That's a good move. That definitely knocks someone out. Now, on the Wing Chun side, you hit like this, vertically like this.

So you can hit like this, or you can hit directly like this. But you see that one over there using more traditional kung fu. So get up and spin with that punch, it creates a lot of power. Wing Chun specifically uses a lot of fast hands. It is a very close combat use. This movement here is a very unique obstacle, bajiquan. Wing Chun using that too, the top of the elbow. But in this case you can see how the entire weight of the body attacks the solar plexus. This is perfect to be used. You see a lot of this movement in

real

life.

The elbow is used for small spaces, because many times the structure of the elbow is very, very heavy. The strongest structure in the body is the elbow, head and knee. This is the strong movement you have to have to be able to defend it. Many times when you practice Wing Chun, you fight with three or four people. Move your hand here, quick hand here. Like Bruce Lee when you see them. Is it Wing Chun? It's the element of it. The element, you're moving, element of it. But for me to use it, instead of hitting like a backhand to the face, we use a throat slash, because in real life, that will do a lot more damage.

If you're using Wing Chun in this move here, you wouldn't be jumping much. So everything is broader. You know, when it's traditional, wider body, wider movement. So it's more for energy use. Wing Chun closer. As you see, they don't move much, they just stay in one area. So on the bus here, in a Wing Chun size, that's what Wing Chun was designed for. It was designed for hand-to-hand combat. Then mix. A little bit of Wing Chun, a lot of it is traditional martial arts. For realism, I think I give them a 5. Because you can't use it like that, like he uses it here, in real life.

Donnie Yen playing this Yip Man character. Yip Man is a real person. Teaching Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee's teacher. If 10 karate fighters beat a Wing Chun person, I think 10 karate fighters will eat the Wing Chun person alive. He chews them and spits them out. Karate people train very differently. Karate using long distance. Long distance kicks and punches. Wing Chun uses short distances. When you come within range of karate, the karate fighter cannot use a weapon. It has been a reduced limit. But if they are in range, the karate fighter can use long range, such as kicking his legs, to be able to defeat him.

On the Wing Chun side, you don't really do many high kicks above the waist. But in this scenario, he used quite a few high kicks. You use it if your leg is good enough. It's not always necessary to kick below the waist, but in

fights

like this, it's good to kick below the waist instead of up. As you can see, some of the moves he did there, grabbing, controlling and then kicking, that's what they do. They try to break the person's arm and kick the limb. That's Wing Chun. And break them down. Why does it go down?

You control them a little closer to where you need to attack, because you don't want the enemy to be everywhere. Instead, they sit there staring at it. Why are those people standing there waiting their turn? If I'm in real life, my friend gets beat up, I don't just sit there, "Wait, it's my turn already?" No. I won't give you the chance to elbow my friend in the back. But this is a movie. Classic Wing Chun. Grab them, control them, move them, protect them. As soon as you protect them, someone appears and moves them to the other side.

You move them wherever you want. And then you can deal with more than one person. That kind of 1,000 while he falls in slow motion so you keep bombarding him is good for a movie. Terms of reality, no. If you chase it, you might fall at the same time. While we do this type of movement, your body is not grounded enough because you are balanced. You are not standing. You are moving forward. All you need to do, the karate guy, kick him in the butt and fall. It has to be grounded and controlled, because when you're high, they're low.

When they are low, they gain more strength. Now, sometimes you wonder while you're down there, punching someone in the face 1,000 times, is that overkill? Yes, it is exaggerated. I think the biggest myth

movies

show Wing Chun on the fighting side, they portray that Wing Chun needs to do 1000 different moves before someone gets hurt. In real life, it should be a hit, a death. On the movie side, it's good. In real life, it's not so good. So I'd say about 7 out of 10. Classic Wing Chun move there. He's like ready to fight, you know? On the Wing Chun side, you must understand that there is yin and yang.

Hard and soft. You need to be able to mix them. When your opponent is soft, you must be tough, because then you will be able to defend him. So if the attack comes hard, you have to be gentle to deflect it. That is also a very classic Wing Chun move. So you have options when you work with this type of movement there. If they are friends, you control them. If they are enemies, you just press. Trachea broken, finished. And if you're in a fight and someone suddenly grabs you, the best thing you can do is put your chin down, like this, because you're going astray, and then take a step back.

That will attack the joint. Then you lose. Then from there, using your body, you get rid of the hand and then continue your attack. Who has the advantage now? See it ended there? He did everything there, because your arm is like that, where you press, you can't put energy. And then because you have no energy, they can't get out, but he just sweeps. Since he is a god, he can act like this. How did you get out of this movement there? So on the Wing Chun side, you see a lot of moves like this. Move your muscle, move your

wing

so it can't grab you.

If I make a move like that, my hand will stay inside and I will grab his hand. I'll elbow him in the face, elbow him in the body, and kick him to get rid of him. In this case, I like the cartoon. It's interesting. In real terms, some moves can be used and some can't. I'll give this movie about a 4. Sherlock: First, it distracts the target. He then blocks his blind jab. I like these types of movies, because the martial arts are the same all the time. Use your mind to think first, before you do it, because the mind tells your body what to do.

Sherlock: Counterattack with a cross to the left cheek. Attacking the temple is a very good classic Wing Chun direct blow. I like that. But when attacking the temple, it is a little more difficult to hit it because it is small. If you move like this, you will fail. Actually attacking here is much better. Sherlock: Get out of it. Attacking inside the ear hole. Classic. will do That's why he does it this way. Boom! Then he can't hear anything anymore. For me to use this move, instead of attacking like this, I would, boom! Cut straight to the neck, cutting off blood supply to the brain.

You're out, finished. Sherlock: Wild haymaker. Use elbow block. The way he does it seems weaker because you don't see the full movement of the body. But you are using your body. The whole body deviates. That's called so sao. You are starting to use that, to deflect with your hand. As you deflect the movement with your hand away, the structure of your body deflects the force. So when the heavy stuff comes, you don't need to do much. If you go like this, that force will go in this direction. Sherlock: And body shot. Move like this, up. Classic boxing move.

Wing Chun uses that, yes, but you don't move like them, more like classic boxing. Wing Chun leans more to one side and comes up using chum kiu. That's for the second level of Wing Chun, chum kiu, which uses a lot of strikes. You attack many organs, the rib cage, here, the throat area. So that's a very classic move. Sherlock: Feral is gone. That movement there, the hand coming in, a little weak. If you're like this, if it falls, it will land on your ribcage. Yes, that could land on your elbow, but you need to make sure the

wing

locks.

The hand block should cut the hand down to cover the length of the ribcage; otherwise Sherlock Holmes will break his ribcage. Sherlock: Weakens the right jaw. That elbow that comes in is very weak. You can't elbow like that. This will not gain any power. It doesn't matter how good you are. Your elbow has to be locked. Body in line, full body turn, blocking. This way you can control it more. Movement of the whole body. Sherlock: Heel to diaphragm kick. This part here, heel kick, classic Wing Chun. They are using the heel because the idea is long and solid.

Like the punch, solid. Like the elbow, solid. To use this type of move in this situation, I wouldn't want to use any heel kicks. You have to be able to move just within reach to kick with your heel, because your whole leg has to be straight like that to be able to kick like that. It is difficult to use. Actually, it's the next point kick. Directly, the toe pointing towards the diaphragm towards the solar plexus, that will cause the same damage, even worse. Robert Downey Jr. has been training Wing Chun for some time. Is he able to execute the moment well?

Now if I say it is not good, it will not be pleasant, and if I say it is good, then I lie to myself. I say average. Out of 10, I think I'll give this about a 4. Now, this is very, very classic Wing Chun. You see Michelle Yeoh. Compared to the Hollywood stuff, they're very different. You don't see her move much. So classic Wing Chun is that you don't move much. You are using your hand, defending your 300 degree vision. So all this here, like a fun thing, while he's moving around, they don't want to mess up the tofu.

And why is he talking about tofu? The bean curd is very smooth. That shows how elegant Wing Chun is. Because it's about a woman. That's why he called Wing Chun. Yim Wing Chun, she developed this system for her to use. It doesn't matter how strong you are. She can use the relaxed movement of her to defend the big and strong opponent. This is very classic, the elbow. And all this movement here goes towards the wooden doll. When you're looking at a wooden dummy, you're using this hand here a lot, the elbow coming in, the arm, turning, this whole elbow thing is all attack.

Then the attack to the body, elbow, elbow, elbow, attacking, elbow defending all this. Michelle Yeoh is very good at demonstrating movement. I will give this an 8 out of 10. You can see this movement here, very classic. Now this is 6½ point pole training for Wing Chun. One of the two weapons used in Wing Chun. This is what Wing Chun people use. Instead of training a lot with weight, they use it to train. They hold it like this because they use it to throw, move, like whip, twist, attack, shake. There are only 6½ moves in this. And they mix them with the shape of the hands and the footwork.

Then the finger, the power on the pole. Is it really necessary for two people to wear the same thing? Now the term reality is that two people use the same move, chances are they will both get cut. This is the traditional side of Wing Chun. Butterfly knife and sword. This is why Wing Chun uses long and short weapons. When the enemy has a short weapon, you are using a long weapon. A lot of the movement there, like you see Wing Chun movement, using hand movement, like an attacking hand, they transfer them to the weapon. But as for the weapon to use it, you have the idea of ​​illustrating the shape of the hand.

And now you have a weapon attached to your body here, so you can move around nicely to use it. Well, leave that there. That is part of what is called chi sao butterfly knife. Instead of using their hand, they use a knife. Control the force that enters hard and soft. Look, the classic, that I told you about, on the side of Wing Chun, hard and soft. You are used to moving your energy from your opponent to there. When he gets close, the weapon they can use is the elbow. And then they use a knife when he walks away, because you'll need distance to be able to use it.

When they are closing, that is when they use their elbow, head, knee and also their shoulder a lot. They are using the classic chain punch. The idea is that when you hit someone once, they block, but when you go bam, bam, bam, bam, they can't block like that. So chances are, if I land 20 hits, they'll land on your face once. What you are going to use to block it, using a wing block or using pak sao to block this chain hit. Biu jee classic. Biu jee, finger tap. Attack the eye, attack the throat, attack a vulnerable point.

Emergency use. When you reach this level of biu jee, you become very dangerous for your opponent. So you have to be very careful how you use it. Instead of seeing, now feel. Bruce Lee uses a lot of 1 inch punches. So, boom, boom, boom! When you attack, you feel them first, then follow up with the second, and then use your weight. But when you punch them when they're tense, oh! In the next move, you hit them and they start, ah! When they start doing it, ah! Then the last one, bang! then you areforcing the energy to overcome it.

That's how you knock them out. In general, in terms of choreography, very, very good. The way they do it very sincerely shows a bit of Wing Chun, how it is used in the scene. I give them between 8 and 9 out of 10. This is all Wing Chun movement, the movement that comes in.Attack, defend. But is this the Wing Chun movement? Is it the more traditional side? No, more Wing Chun starts to fit into it and it becomes Jeet Kune Do. That's why he uses a lot of high kicks. What Bruce Lee believes, what you take is useful; reject what is useless.

So he discards many traditional things that do not serve him. That's another classic. This is the chum kiu movement that comes with breaking your arm. Boom, broken arm, coming in broken arm. So that's what it is. Soon it comes in the hand breaking the arm, control, breaking the leg, partner of the Wing Chun low kick there to hurt the lower leg joint there. Very classic, yes. What he's trying to show there is that on the Wing Chun side, we fight in a closed ring. We don't need space, but what Chuck Norris needs, space, because he uses a lot of kicks.

Bruce Lee, he doesn't need space. Now when he gets close, he no longer uses any high kicks. He uses a low kick. I have to give this one a 10 out of 10, because he is my idol. This is more like the Kali, Kali movement than Wing Chun. But Wing Chun does that too. You are using this to drill. This type of exercise will help you gain sensitivity. When you put that knife on the person, you see how much power it puts in your arm, how you respond. Joe: Again. People need to understand that a drill is a tool.

You need 1000 repetitions to be able to answer. You need to drill that down into your system. When something happens in real life, fight, you can't think. You either feel or see before it happens. So the idea of ​​learning this is learning to feel, learning to see, where you put your hand, where you put your hand, how you put your hand, because the whole knife and hand are very fast. Joe: Good. This one here isn't really an attack. This is really like a drill. When someone puts a knife on you, you should realize two things. If you are in a situation where you have nowhere to go, you should make sure you look for a weapon.

Make sure there is something you can use to be able to defend yourself so quickly. Think quickly, and look for the exit to run, to get out of the way. Don't stay in front of it, because you won't be able to defend it. Know yourself, know your enemy, know your ability and know your environment. I'd probably give them a 5 out of 10. I like Nicolas Cage doing the movie. Quite serious, good actor. My favorite Wing Chun movie of all time is "The Prodigal Son." They talk a lot about the history of Wing Chun, where they come from.

Yuen Biao does the move, applies it on the screen and makes a very beautiful Wing Chun screen, just like he did. And Sammo Hung, when he uses it, uses Wing Chun in realistic life. Head, elbow, everything. All the power that the body can apply to Wing Chun so that it is functional for it. Thanks for watching. If you enjoyed this movie here, click on the movie above.
