nevery seen any thing like it. his weng chun staff is off the chain. his skill level. wow i wish I have study that weng chun staff from him.... wow!

Thanks Derek. This is one of the best pole form I have ever seen, especially a guy from the place I was born. I can see how awesome he was just by looking at his posture and his foot-works, he was definitely in a different league. It is a valuable clip. Keep it rolling.

A lot of Wing Chun people nowadays treat the staff as just strength training exercise or just supplement to empty-handed fighting. They don’t care of its true power or original applications. You learn so much just from watching Tang Yik’s staff work alone, he clearly takes the weapon seriously

i am not from Wing Chun how ever i see it differently because back in those days there are not such thing call "Gym", so when people go learn traditional martial arts they would / will use heavy staff / weapons to train, as to increase Strength, Stamina and Body Posture. Ofcause when "Something Bad.." going to happen most will take the staff wich are half the weight of the heavy staff they use in training or even light weight staff to deal with "Something Bad.." in front of the club..etc etc. I personally learn a staff form pass down from my father, i also train with heavy and longer staff at the club but at home i got a lighter staff more suited for my hight to train / use at home.

Stop lying

One of the best demonstrations of the Luk Dim Boon Gwan I’ve seen on youtube. It would be great if translations of the Chinese writing were added for non-Chinese watchers.

there is iwka and other people who also teach that style. some of them were direct students of GM Tang Yik, too :)

I never particularly liked the long pole form in the wing Chun videos I had watched. It seemed pretty slow and rigid…but the way THIS Master demonstrates it …I could definitely get into this!

Wow! Thank you verry much! wonderfull!!

Translation 0:54 The stick Master Tang used is made of “Gold Pen” wood, a wood stronger than “Kun Deen” (Kun Deen is a high quality rainforest wood imported from SE Asia, and is well-known in HK and commonly used as tilts for tilt houses that can last for decades submerged in sea water.) 1:11 Use one’s thigh as fulcrum; apply the whole body’s force, not just from both hands. 1:23 Weng Chun Long Pole set includes six and a half actions. 1:26 Tie up纏; Tear撕; Pull 抽; Bounce彈; Pick剔; Cut割; Poke槍. 1:32 Each section includes 6 actions, then repeat with variations. 1:43 纏撕(Tie up and Tear). To tie up means to use the stick to move in circles, in order to tie up the rival’s stick; this can only be regarded as half an action. To tear means to strike swiftly, forcing the rival to drop his stick. 1:45 剔 (Pick). To pick means to point the stick downward like a fishing rod. The purpose is to attack the rival’s knees. All force should be focused on the tip of the stick. 2:13 彈(Bounce). Bounce back as soon as each stroke down is done. 2:32 割(Cut). Similar to bouncing back, this action lasts a bit longer, which can also result in the rival dropping his stick. 2:59 槍(Poke). Use the force from the whole body, don’t limit it to just two hands. This is what they call torque. 3:14 抽(Pull). The action is from down to up. Aim at the rival’s testicle or neck.

true !

This insane

The flexibility in his staff is incredible bamboo maybe ? ,we tend to use ' Bo's ' which are fairly heavy and rigid, like the look of this better.

The caption in Chinese says it is made of a special wood, which is even better than a hard wood imported from tropical rainforest in SE Asia. the latter one is well-known in HK and used to be used as the tilts of those tilt houses that always submerge in water for decades without getting rotten.

I WILL GIVE 1000 DOLLARS FOR SOMEONE TO TEACH ME THIS POLE FORM IN ITS ENTIRETY; I MEAN IT!!!

@johnh.mitchell6519 I believe that this pole form is actually from Hung Ga! It is not always what it says on the tin. I hope this info helps.

What's the purpose of the wiggling bit in the form? Honest question since I have no clue about the form.

the form itself doesn't matter here. Other schools or styles have similar pole technique and form. Correct posture and leg work combined with the mechanics of the entire body are important. This causes vibration at the end of the club where most energy is accumulated during impact. Type of the wood also matters - in this case it is so called Chinese oak wood.
