Please remember before reading the rest of this post that I am in no way disputing Master Chong's skill in Pan Nam Wing Chun, but merely pointing out something that I found too obvious to stay silent about.
ok... here it goes.
In watching the video clips at:
http://www.wingchunbakmei.com/tech1.htm
Two videos in particular caught my eye.
Sifu Eddie Chong showing some sparring techniques 1 (8.49 Mb) and
Sifu Eddie Chong showing some sparring techniques 2 (6.06 Mb)
Now what caught my eye was not Master Chong, but rather the person he was doing the demonstration with. Here's what I saw.
In watching them perform the Seung Chi Sau (double sticking hands) I noticed that the person had VERY BAD positioning. His Tan Sau/Bon Sau arm was terrible. He never once raised his elbow up to the proper hieght during Bon Sau and his Tan Sau kept dropping below his elbow. There is more but I think those two examples speak for themselves. Now his Fok Sau arm was pretty bad as well. He was moving his forearm at the elbow and not at the shoulder which basically would put his Fok Sau almost level everytime.
Master Chong had no problem at all dealing with this individual and to be honest, I think even an intermediate Chi Sau student would have done the same against this particular demo partner.
Maybe I'm just being a little too picky but here's my take on this. If you're going to show a demonstration of Chi Sau and how it can be used to get in on another Wing Chun fighter..... at least pick someone who won't make it "too easy" for you. It was the first thing I noticed, and I'm sure others will notice the same.
ok... again, sorry for being so picky.
