Master Wong

[Spartan]

Do any of you all know anything about a wing chun/jkd guy called Master Wong? He's has a video series - I've seen some clips and the guy looks pretty impressive.

Peace,

I never heard of him until I was at my local library browsing the martial arts section. There were two of his dvds among the books! I like to watch him move, he's very energetic and efficient. As to a more considered analysis of his stuff, the heavy duty wing chun folks on the board are going to have to answer. I am glad to have bumped into his work.

I wasn't very impressed with his siu nim tao DVD, but like I say - never judge people on video clips or websites. The best way is always to go visit people in person

Although Master Wong does not reveal his Teacher his style (from the foms) look very much like the Foshan style and not the Yip Man Hong King Style.

Although his videos look impressive, I am of the opinion that that is all they do, look impressive. These look to me like they are highly choreographed to look good and there is not a lot of technical explanation behind the moves.

I am not sure about Master Wong as not a lot is known about him, but he does look as though he is energetic and can execute his technique.

is that the same wong who wrote the book "deceptive hands of wing chun" ??

i don't think it yip man style. to hard and rely on muscle. Yip man is 120 lbs. if he rely on his muscle, must likely he will be death in a fight

I have a few of his videos and have talked to him a few times. I personally don't think his Wing Chun is very good. If you watch the countless BS sequences that they make up, almost none of it sticks to WC theory and logic. He talks about that stuff while he is talking in the vids, but when he goes to show something, it never comes out. His style is more along the lines of a pretty crappy JKD. I don't think he really and fully understands what he is trying to teach.

Now I am not trying to put "the man" down, for I do not know him that well. I am sure he is a great guy. And he definitely believes in what he is selling. Just saying about his style.

I have only seen his clips on utube, some of which seemed ok. I tried 2 do some background on him, only 2 find he does not choose 2 disclose his lineage. This is rather strange as most masters r proud of their source of learning. 2 be honest, it put me off taking a closer look at his teachings. Still, he could b worth investigating further.
