Nice clip, DY looked good in the films for someone with so little training in Wing Chun

Quite impressive. He did 9 months with Ip Chun, studied judo and is a purple belt in jiu-jitsu. Studied parkour, wrestling, muay thai, kickboxing and boxing for his many roles and is a major MMA fan. See 'Flash Point'.

He's (DY) one of those annoying blokes who is bloody good at whatever he tries.

Just jealous here.

I'll keep on plodding away for years and be half as good.

If it helps... it may be genetic. This is his mother

Put it in perspective, he's mother is a top TCMA practitioner, he trained every day when he was a kid and has said in interviews that he doesn't remember doing anything else when he wasn't at school. If you train every day during your formative years with a top master you should be pretty good, and once you've learnt one MA it's much easier to learn others as a key component in learning a MA is to learn control over your own body and make it do what you want it to do
