The roots of Pak Mei - Documentary on Siye Lao Wei San 2015

Спорт

4 years ago I made this documentary with my crew.
I always wanted to make a documentary about my Sifu since I met him.
For me, my students, to spread the reality of what we do.
Lao Wei San is someone really discreet and secret, but I made up my mind. Someone really close to him passed away in 2015 and I told him that I am not Chinese and most of people will doubt my words on what is Kung Fu. No one will doubt his, because he is the son of Lao Siu Leung, because his level says it all and his thinking is just pure gold.
This man lives in the shadow but he accepted to share the conversation we always have in front of the camera.
Now it is the time to release it.
It is the eight years opening of my school.
Enjoy.

    This is a wonderful insight in kungfu and what a powerful and meaningful art Pak Mei is. I actually came across it through the game. I am a long time martial arts practitioner and this style looks very effective and powerful. Very inspiring documentary on the Chinese culture as well. Perhaps one day i come across one of you practitioners. For now i continue deepening my Jeet Kune Do and Taijquan knowledge and skills, and I'm always open to learn more. Thanks for making an excellent game and documentary!

    Thank you Benjamin, for this fantastic documentary with English subtitles. You are very lucky to have met Sifu Lao Wei San. Often it's all about money, but this Sifu lives for his Kung Fu and wants to transfer that to someone worthy. He has a lot of faith in you, and that is nice to see. Greetings from a Pak Mei friend from the Netherlands, Ruud

    The impressive game Sifu brought me here. The martial arts choreography in the game is outstanding and blew me away, which made me want to know more about the art. I think by now I have become infected with the Pak Mei virus haha, the more I learn about it the more I want to know. As a lifelong martial artist I have practiced various arts (Judo, Wing Chun, JKD, Karate and Aikibudo) and met multiple masters, Pak Mei looks powerful and effective and I recognize it immediately when I see a true Sifu. You are truly the definition of a Sifu. There are very few masters like you. Your students are lucky to have you. I wish I lived in Paris too then I would have started Pak Mei right away. Thank you for making the impressive game and this amazing and inspiring documentary. It also gives a lot of insight into Kung Fu and Chinese culture. Wonderful also to see the bond between you and your Sifu. You are a gift to Pak Mei and have restored the honor of Kung Fu to the common public. Keep up the good work Sifu. PS. My two year old son absolutely loves the Lion dance videos! Which, by the way, are also impressive performances.

A great alternative to still be able to train high level Pak Mei Kung Fu from you and in return a great way to support your work. I was surprised with the amount of content, definitely worth the money. The level of dedication and detail you provide is incredible! Do you have any recommendations on what to start/focus on first? Thanks again for sharing this wonderful art called Pak Mei Sifu.

    xie xie, though i know what wude is and try to embody this even if i'm not teaching, i watched anyway. i could smell their was more to this video then the same ole stuff. at one time i had a student like Benjamin and i was elated that we met. unfortunately he had to move quite a few states away. another student came and was very talented and smart. he was lured away by a sifu without WUDE which became apparent over time. there was one more a female and she was the best. her pregnancy usurped her kung fu training along with an accident that should never have happened brought on by the same sifu who's wude is sorely lacking. i have more to teach but don't think the one who can get it all will actually show up before i can no longer show them yang style far beyond the basic empty style usually seen today.

    Bonjour sifu je t’envoie le resumé par KZread je ne sais pas comment faire par un autre moyen mais bon le voilà: Pourquoi j’ai commencé le kung-fu ? J’ai commencé le kung-fu à 5 ans à Madrid. J’étais le meilleur en sport, et je commençais à m’ennuyer pendant les cours - je voulais apprendre un sport de combat: le kung-fu m’a attiré parce que c’est beau, c’est puissant et cela rend plus fort ! Quand on est revenus à Paris, j’ai eu la chance d’entrer par hasard dans le salle de pak mei et il m’a tout de suite plu ! On apprend plein de mouvements, on se fait des amis, l’ambiance est géniale. Et puis, Benjamin Sifu nous montre les traditions des arts martiaux chinois. On voit des vidéos, on fait des cérémonies, il nous apprend la danse du lion. J’espère être un jour un grand combattant pak mei !
