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.

I believe he is Yip Man lineage...But i believe Wing Chn Archives has some info on him.
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.
Hey. your right. that is the same guy.
Oh Michael Wong doesn't say who his lineage is.

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.
Michael Wong also has some Jeet Kune Do DVD's as well.
well to me jeet kune do was one mans personal expression of the martial arts so anything to do with it has changed and dont resemble the original concept,its become diluted.
micheal wong's geek kune do DVD 60 bucks
Me I only watch his stuff on Youtube...if it aint on youtube I dont want it...But i would pay for Wong Shun Leung and Yip Man's movies.
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.
have you seen the science of in fighting,and look beyond the pointing finger ?.....both WSL
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.
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 .
