I have seen this guy all over youtube.
Any thoughts of him and his techniques?

I have tried to google but can't find much in terms of background.

Wasn't he the bloke we saw a while back in some other thread doing the Chum Kiu , and I said he was up and down like a yo yo .
Because each step he took his body went up and down .

Which in our lineage is a very big no no. What I have seen of him , I'm not impressed and the lack of detail about who he actually learnt off is a bit suss if you ask me.

he has quite a succesfull dvd franchise,nothing wong (sorry wrong) with that and i got a dvd of his gathering dust somewhere.

he comes through with quite powerfull direct attacks,and uses a lot of the wingchun techniques quite well on times.

saying that,he seems to have jumped on the wingchun dvd bandwagon,he obviously knows a bit about wingchun,but would hazzard a guess he is mostly self taught.

wong shun leung,otherwise known as Gong Sau Wong (講手王), King of Talking Hands.when you look at all the old masters yip man etc , WSL stands out.they say he was a kind unassuming man,and his wingchun was not just legend but fact.a great fighter.it was only after his death that he now recieves the credit he deserves.they treat artists the same,the work only gets reconised after they are no longer with us .its not well known, that it was wong who give bruce his learning in WC and not how its commonly believed yipman.

the science of in fighting is dvd,look beyond the pointing finger is a book the author is David Peterson,who has been training in the Chinese martial arts since 1973. He became a student of Sifu Wong Shun Leung after traveling to honk kong. he is noted as being one of the only students of WSL to preserve his teachings,and philosophies.

I have a very old videotape of Wong Shun Leung that was shot when he visited Australia to do a seminar at our Adelaide academy . The tape was a copy of a copy , so the picture quality is bad in some parts and unwatchable in others .

But it is one of my treasured possessions along with a taped seminar of Sigung Tsui , I will have to try and get them converted to dvd or on the computer or something before they deteriorate any further .

On the tape WSL demonstrates Chum Kiu and a couple of applications , The Bil Gee and the application of the Bil Gee footwork to chase somebody who keeps trying to sidestep you . He also demonstrates kicking and how important it is to maintain the angle in the leg as you raise your kick and not chamber the leg.

It might interest you to know Skinters that I used to teach a guy when I was running a suburban branch in Sydney's outer suburbs , that lived next door to Barry Lee .

Sifu Barry Lee is also one of WSL's head men in Australia , and is married to WSL's daughter I believe. He was nicknamed " The Machine " by WSL who said that if you are hit by this man , you don't get back up .

Anyway I said to this student , what the hell are you doing learning off me for when you live next door to Barry Lee , I am a Neville Nobody compared to Barry Lee .

But the guy didn't seem to understand the importance of who he was living next to , it was sort of pre internet days and all that so he kept on learning with me . But that was years ago and I think Sifu Lee has set up an organisation in Germany now .
