Hello may I ask if mr. Sergio is going to be teaching at the future Martial Camps? I was always interested in his methods.

This is superior poetry. My mind is so blown because of the practical simplicity of this poem. Thank you both so much for your contributions to the community. My mind is so blown.

I was a Sifu Sergio student and i gained a digree with him in IWKA, he's one of the best and purest Sifus you can find in the WC world. He dedicated his life to Wing Chun and he's a great man, full of knowledge. He explained some techniques using me as his "partner" while he was explaining and when he sticks on you he can really push you and move you everywhere. I had to quit IWKA because the academy in my town closed. My best dream would be joining IWKA again some day and study the whole system from Sifu Sergio. IWKA changed my life as a martial artist and as a man, and i'm very thankful for it.

I wouldn't go so far as to call this "martial".....

"You became better" great compliment from someone of his level.

What a realist and a true historian. Being a Wing Tsun student myself, I started my historical journey because of Leung Ting’s amazing book ROOTS OF WING TSUN. Since then I’ve wanted to quit my training many times. I’ve met many wing chuners, Sifus, etc... and a lot of naysayers. I’ve learned from all of them. We can agree to disagree as long as we can all be friends in the end. Much love to you and Sergio! Thanks y’all!! Cheers. ☺️❤️🙏

I did 12 years of WT. I actually just joined Sifu Sergios school in Luton UK. I wish I could train with him directly. The knowledge is really advanced.

I could watch this forever. More interviews like this one! Realy great stuff. Sifu Sergio is an alien, so much knowledge.

This guy is a true student of martial. He finds the best of the systems and uses it. That is how a strong lineage begins. I Would love to train with him. I don't know how much patience he has.

Watch the second part of my exclusive video interview with Sifu Sergio Iadarola, discussing the 'Kam Na' locking techniques and the internal energy needed in order to effectively use the locks in application now on my website. themartialman.com/sifu-sergio-revisited-2018-kam-na-locking-techniques/

THE MARTIAL MAN hello I just was introduced to ur channel through a student of me , I like it very much ! If you are one time in Taiwan you are welcome to visit me . I think I can give you another example of my views on martial arts. A martialart practitioner should cover more aspects than common martial artist had in ur channel. I get always the same questions from students: How many stones can you break? This shows that your body weapons are developed. How many titles do you have? This shows that you can apply in a controlled degree in international combat sport tournaments. And so on ... m.facebook.com/monkeyfistdoor/ Best regards

Hi Martial Man. I enjoyed this episode especially. However there is something I'd like to bring to your attention, which I'm sure you're already aware of, But this needs to be suggested again. This also goes to Sifu Sergio. With regards to clarifying The true meaning of Internal, which you've both done portrayed exceptionally well, and with Adam Mizner as well. The Things that Just keeps coming up again and again for me, is Why Do we want make something Internal? For too many people, this way really Just seems like a different and Maybe unique way, I don't think They actually see It as a Superior way or better than ordinary external Martial Arts or MMA or whatever. A lot of These guys Just see this as some other yoga thing that is added for Whatever reason, I really doubt, and in fact I know to a certain degree that they still Do not really Take It seriously enough. Honestly, The only thing that is going to set The record straight on The Internal principles once and for all, or At least leave little Room for people to make other ways aroun it, is If either Sergio or Adam Mizner go on The Joe Rogan experience and clarify The Internal principles, Do a little spar/realistic demo with Hoe on his show, and set people in The right direction once and for all. Otherwise, you Can demonstrate as much as You like, But The vast MMA community will Never Take It seriously, It will Just be some other yogary thing, albiet an impressive yogary thing, But still not serious to The degree It deserves

I can think of several reasons for internal: 1) we all grow older...meaning, muscle strength alone or speed cannot be maintained...got to think smarter not harder 2) if you want to continue doing and teaching martial arts later on in life, then you have to go easier on yourself, this means economizing on movement and muscle use. the internal is a simple set of practices that help us maintain health and skill as we age 3) why is this not taught more openly? martial secrets have always been secret precisely because they were 'martial' and could be used against you. even the US military, not to mention MMA fighters, don't go around showing their opponents their favorite moves. Opponents have to study and find those out themselves preferably before the fight and prepare for them. 4) re: Rogan show: yeah, why not? the only thing worth noting in advance is that you won't get any of the secrets on that forum either. yes, these two may get somewhere unbalancing Rogan. impress him sufficiently. but the crowd that follows tai-ji and internal wing-chun may not be (are unlikely to be) the same crowd that likes MMA, so there is less incentive on the part of internal masters to go there. MMA people are competitive. most martial arts (as opposed to martial sports) actively discourage competition because of the harm that comes with 'no rule fighting'. metaphorically speaking, no ethical person, and no parent, for that matter, would willingly divulge how to make a neutron bomb to anyone, least of all their kid. as you may know, one of the early tai-ji masters even refused to teach the emperor of china, when he was called in specifically to show and teach him. when you have that degree of loyalty to a tradition, you are not about to give away the keys to your house just to please entertainment consumers. 5) giving away the keys would also be obviously stupid. it would mean that you are happy to commit business suicide...since everyone would now know what you know, they can set up shop down the corner from and you'd be out of pocket. who would be so stupid?

I don't quite agree with your interpretation of secrets. Even Rogan him self DOES get it. You talk to him about the 90 year old Judo master he pulled up as an example a while ago, you listen to the podcast "working our smarter" as they call it, etc. It's all getting closer to the internal principles, or what you are calling "secrets". Actually people have an innate or intrinsic understanding of this, which is one of the things I am drawing on here. The point of my argument. I can see several problems with discussing this at length here, we are going to run into linguistic barriers or people may get into a debate with me over the meaning of words, aside from the meaning I am referring to. I would love to make a video with you on this, since you seem to be taking my argument seriously. It would be a much better way to clarify these things.

I always enjoy watching and learning from Sifu Sergio video. I hope there is a part 2 to this video. Would like to hear and know more. Lots of people don't realize how much knowledge he is actually giving here and his other interview with you. I hope to someday meet you both. Thank you for all you do Martial Man and Sifu Sergio

@@THEMARTIALMAN Nice video, I like the discussion in relation to Tai Chi. Bruce Lee also learned Wu style I think and I don't if he learned it from ip man, and the scientific approach is also in Wu style, and Wu style has it's canons like the poem. Wu also I believe has a grappling focus. Is it possible these two, Wu and ip man styles should be combined? Here's another question on this subject, when or why did Wu style and ip man style separate? I think Tai Chi in general was designed for traveling taoist monks wearing winter clothes and fifty pound back packs. The test, take a BJJ or Wing Chun expert and pit him against multiple opponents wearing winter clothes and a fifty pound back pack and watch him move in Tai Chi style. Ip Man Wing Chun is in Hong Kong, allies and boats and no back pack but with the same principals. So, if the wing man is not in allys or boats, what does he need to return to? Wu Tai Chi and wherever the man is he has both Wu and ip man style to draw from.

In defense of those of us seeing other arts. I did 7 star mantis for 10-12 years. But then I crossed arms with a skilled neijia practitioner and found myself with my structure broken in the middle of several fast, powerful traps. I have trained neijia arts ever since because I hadn't experienced that kind of power other than in neijia arts - until I watched the clips of the 2019 martial camp that Mizner put on. There I saw two WC (you being one of them) and a 5 ancestor practitioner with these same neijia skills.

Impressive and very clear. Thank you for sharing this fundamental knowledge.

To get to see and listen to theese videos you make together with Sergio and other sifus is amazing!

I enjoyed listening to your opinions Sifu Sergio I would agree with what you have observed. For me Wing Chun yes can be done in a hard and soft way but the creation ultimately is an internal method. I feel you are saying the same thing. You mentioned Tsui Sheung Tin as the only IP Man student doing the internal. Yes and no. A good comparison is my old Sifu Victor kan for example both excellent dedicated students of GM IP Man from the early 1950`s period. Due to their personal differences they both perform Wing Chun differently even though they were taught by the same teacher. The Wing Chun system as you mentioned is based on concepts and principles than just forms shapes and technical fighting skills so one can explore their individual character expression too. It`s the most natural and flexible system. I use it all the time from Skiing to playing Golf to any DIY jobs. Not all Wing Chun is the same as you mentioned it comes down to the teacher and the individuals ability.

Wow!! Another truely incredible Sifu Sergio video!!! I loved every second of it and I thank you ineffably for sharing Sifu Sergios extraordinary level of knowledge with us all! :). Keep up the brilliant work :).

Excellent video. Thank you sifu Sergio and Krygier! I understand and appreciate.

Excellent... I really enjoyed this episode

Just fantastic explanations. Thank you

Amazing. Very good explanation Sifu 🙏 This is what I was always missing...

In my opinion this is where the true essense of martial arts is, people these days are quick to dismiss a more traditional asian martial art and say that is does not work in comparison to a modern mixed martial art but someone that has learned true traditiinal martial arts is not likely to throw themselves into a competition sport and only fights when it is just and there is a need for it. I also find that modern martial arts is pretty easy to pick up in comparison with traditional martial arts and like Sergio said about the internal, people are not feeling this enough and the older forms have become like a "chinese whisper" or a paraphrase of what it should be, with each teacher trying to replicate what their personal teacher taught them, they are not passing on the information correctly and we stop progressing and getting better but instead we only have the basic information compared to the real techniques. I love to see martial arts being understood like this and hope that I can one day have a chance to learn, build and become as good as this.

Awesome. You covered it all. Apply the principle and just make it work for you. Congratulations, Sifu.

this is high level kungfu

Sifu Sergio is an incredible teacher. I would love to have opportunity to train underneath him. Profound set of knowledge and wisdom and sheer depth of Wing Chun with internal martial arts. hmm hmm

Really excellent.

There's more than one kind of Bong.... Also, "Bong doesn't stay..."

Great point about specific structures (Sifu uses the example of bong sau) and teachers correcting positions so the student ends up confused! The first half of this video is basically a long way of saying "don't lift your shoulders!" The development of chi sau bit is really interesting & valuable, thank you!

I really like how this Sifu researches and explains his art.

Good stuff!

I agree that we, meaning the martial arts society needs to help each other in the sense of supporting each others system or style Instead of bashing one another. Help each other instead of saying things like that style or system doesn't work or that technique doesn't work at all. Then again there are people who refuse to change or accept that their system or style does not need to evolve. Hope one of these days they will see the light to cross train, learn, adapt and improve their techniques or systems.

形(Xing): Form 意(Yi): Meaning 拳(Quan): Fist Xingyiquan, interestingly enough, is considered to be one of the earliest internal style.

Thank you for the informative video. I would very much like to see a friendly training sparring exchange between Sifu Adam Mitzner and Sifu Sergio, as they are great inspirational teachers.

Look up Hung Fa Yi Wing Chun Lineage, we are the source of this information. We first introduced this information publicly to the world in our book Mastering Kung Fu in 2003 and have been teaching this privately for many many years before that

Fascinating video. I'm really interested in why you maintain that the shoulder joint is 'set' or in its optimum position when there is minimal abduction (i.e. the arm is closer to the anterior median line). I'm a Taiji practitioner, not a wing chun practitioner. I don't know how wing chun generates its power/solidity so I'd really appreciate any wing chun practitioners who can explain it. It looks to me like Sifu Sergio here is generally sticking to Taiji's 'peng' and brings the force of the floor to the hand through that 'peng' confluence of opened/aligned joints but his explanation of the shoulder baffles me. Why I'm so interested is that I once did pushing hands with a pretty impressive wing chun practitioner. His rooting was excellent but it was surprisingly easy to trap him at the shoulder (when we were just doing freestyle 'pushing hands' rules) because his arm was too tightly adducted (close to the anterior median line) like in this video. Surely this is a hole in my knowledge rather than in wing chun per se. Can anyone explain?

Powerful !

Very nice!

Sifu Sérgio made a good reserch. I studied with a great but not famous Sifu in Brasil that made contact with advanced masters in the past. He had a really great domain in the aspects of energy. Many of the more experienced students could observe that his wing chun could be considered different is this level. This video of Sifu Sergio remebered his skills. I do not know if there is still something about him on Internet. His name is San Lii or Pedro Santos.

19:18 Wow, we have exactly the same thing in Tai Chi, including adding in strikes to finish the fight. I never really knew anything about Wing Chun until I saw this video, and I see so many things are alike between Tai Chi and Wing Chun.

Hello martial fans! Well I have to say thanks Sergio for introducing the concept of the Wing Chun formula, as first seen in the publication Mastering Kung Fu in 2003, from the source of Hung Fa Yi Wing Chun. I can appreciate the enthusiasm for the content and the depth of it, being intimately familiar with its source, Hung Fa Yi, as passed down through generations as a family art from ancestor Hung Gun Biu. Regarding the specific content of the video I do have to say it represents an outsider understanding at best of one of the very basics taught in Hung Fa Yi Wing Chun kung fu. One concept I'll introduce is that this formula makes up what we refer to as the ten bright points - Sup Ming Dim - a structure concept integrally involved in our Siu Nim Tau level training. You can also read about that in the same book - Mastering Kung Fu, but it represents what we would more refer to as "insider understanding" of Hung Fa Yi, which by the way would also refer to and have concept and theory behind the number four that we didn't publish in that book (the reasons we didn't publish it were kind of what were referenced). I would invite Sergio and all martial fans to investigate further the Sup Ming Dim and the Wing Chun formula in action at our Hung Fa Yi website - www.hungfakwoon.com - the section with video shows this formula in execution by several individuals in our Siu Nim Tau form, which is our live embodiment of the Wing Chun formula, somewhat different but similar to some other familiar wing chun lineages. In the insider information, we find the blend of yin and yang, soft and hard, energy and structure, without the need to fill in the gaps with tai chi or any other art. Again thanks for highlighting the truth in whatever filtered version available. This formula is in our arts fundamental structure teaching. I think the Shaolin ancestors at the base of this would have wanted it out there for people to know. Peace, Dave
