This is golden footage. Wing Chun is so useful for improving clinchwork. The "sticky hands" (chi sao) and "pummeling" drills from Wing Chun Kung Fu and Wrestling respectively blend so well with each other, together they make one of the most fundamental drills you can train with in all of martial arts.

That's what I'm thinking. Looks good for clinching and I feel like in jiu-jitsu it is good on fighting for the colar grabs.

@@cesarcrash You're very right. Greg Nelson uses it for all of his gripfighting, including while on the ground, both from guard and top position. He even mentionned that the elbow blocking to prevent re-drags in wrestling is simply "bong sao" from a Kung Fu point of view. That guy trained many things to improve his clinchfighting even further, including Wing Chun, and he's among the best masters of the clinch in the world. Kevin here posted videos with him multiple times. That's the true essence of mixing martial arts.

pummeling has always been in wing chun. You will see the same action in many other videos from different teachers.

Facts bro

Kevins amusement and awe by how many times he could have gotten punched in the face in the span of 10 or so seconds after the 8min mark is great 😂.. Its really inspiring to both see Sifu Franciss skill and flow and to see you Kevin so eager and excited to continue to learn and improve. Much love!

I hate when people say Wing Chun is useless... If you can't see the functionality in this style ESPECIALLY for boxing, you have much to learn, grasshopper. Wing Chun's only flaw is that it focuses on a transitionary range. It's not striking, it's not grappling, it is the bridge between. The fundamentals of Wing Chun will make your counterpunching game, as well as your clinching game, EXPONENTIALLY better. As someone whose base is rooted firmly in Kali, Silat, and Muay Thai, Wing Chun helped me immensely in blending the three (along with other systems I've had the privilege of training, which are far too numerous to mention) into something that has served me well enough to ensure my survival through 20 years of warfare, majority of it spent in CQB and Recon. I don't claim to be a martial arts expert, but I do know how to use logic, common sense, and deductive reasoning. So, as Bruce Lee said, "be like water". There is something of value in everything and anything you do. You just need to figure out the application.

Totally. I used Wing Chun for improving my clinchwork a lot. Kung Fu's "sticky hands" and wrestling's "pummeling" drills blend so well together, they make for one of the best martial arts exercise one can get.

Very well spoken, brother. Thank you for sharing your story and perspective 🙏🏼🔥🔥🔥

you can see how proud he is of his student. Thnx for sharing kevin

I love the constant focus on the principals behind drills. So many different traditional martial arts drills are so effective if you understand what they are training you for, and so useless if you just train them for the sake of doing the drill. Keep up the great work!

As a long time wing chun practitioner who also trains mma. I gotta say you are one of the best on KZread. To many people think learning wing chun and hat flailing the arms is how it works they wanna feel like Bruce Lee without learning fully. You have a very detailed explanation of the principles of wing chun and I have learned a lot. I really want to use my wing chun in the octagon one day to prove its effectiveness. Kung Fu takes longer than many other arts because it requires more discipline to master but once mastered it’s highly effective

This is amazing to watch. The flow, the speed and precision are mind blowing.

And the young man is very humble and respectful....thank you so much for the lesson

I trained with Master Fong years ago when he had a small studio above a cleaners on Monroe Street. He was just as awesome then as he is now. I feel blessed that I had that time with him. Stay with what Comes!

Kevin, I feel like I've watched you grow up and it's an honor for me! You have come such a long way and I'm so proud of you. Sifu Fong in my opinion is the best wing chun teacher in the world! I love you guys. Stephen

That was great!!! I always get charged up watching (and sometimes working with) Sifu Francis. A true martial artist. He has an immense ability to express a number of arts via Wing Chun principles. He goes all out in helping others that are willing to help themselves. A perfect role model.

Must be amazing to train with and learn from some one as talented as Sifu Fong! Thank you for sharing this with us!

Thanks Kevin... love your tutorials... they are always fun, educational and vibrant.

Sifu Fong is incredible. I have been truly blessed to have trained with him and his students all these years.

Love the contents with this sifu. He is amazing.

Never get bored watching Sifu Francis. I'd love to see a video on si nim tao.

Thanks a lot Francis Fong and Kevin Lee for video👍

Wow that was super cool. Thank you Kevin and Sifu Fong. That was cool demonstration 👊😎

I was never good at wing Chun but I love watching it. If I wasnt 10 states away I'd come by to practice.

wow some awesome free form Chi sao rolling there ... very conceptually savvy working solid principles of WC more than just techniques. Thx for sharing.

This video brought back the awesome old times with my Sifu Grand Master Henry Leung out of china town in NYC… I would love to train with you and Sifu Francis Fong. When I see you guys with y’all’s vast knowledge, I see my old Sifu… Thank you guys for sharing…. 🙏🏾

OMG Sifu LCee!! You talk about a master class with Sifu Fong. I've done a lot of chi sao, or tai chi sticky hands, or wrestling "hands", but have NEVER seen this kind of application where Sifu Fong was doing "chi sao" with your neck and body. WOW...just...WOW! This video has changed my interpretation of chi sao forever! Can't wait to put it to practice.

I have seen very few instructors talking and showing this. Most of them do not even teach this. Kudos to Sifu.

Wow...a fine example of relations between art and science.

Dayum!! #legit 🙏🏽 for sharing this!!

Absolutely Awesome Total respect for Sifu Fong

Really enjoyed both of your techniques how to apply thank you, Sifu

That was ausome ! Great stuff

Amazing. This Sifu knows his stuff.

Sifu's got them reads. He's so comfortable with his moves that he controls the flow. That's how martial arts are won. It's a manipulation of not only your body to do what you want it to, but manipulating your opponent to be where you want them to be. When you're going that fast, the opponent doesn't even realize they're out of place until they are. Unless they're also a master of their art. Then it gets into the chess match to see who can put the other out of position first. Moves and counter moves

Man this is gold. You are very lucky to train with him!

I was so blown away by my teacher's level of wing chun I wrote a book about it (Digor) I knew he was in a small crowd of great teachers and it seemed near impossible to find them, this is up there with the best, thank you for sharing. By the way, the reaction to Kevin laughing is so familiar, I spent 20+ years laughing with my teacher, watching this put a smile on my face.

Thanks you sifu Francis Fong🙏🏽👍🏽

Amazing how Sifu takes the tradition and drills and then shows the bridge to practical flow. Feel bad for anyone trying to mess with him 😂

another jaw dropping view into how masters can move. at 8:19, a look on kevin's face like: "holy sh1t that was fast", and the stressed look just testifies as to this master's skill, because he appears so calm the whole time.

What a treat to watch Sifu move.

Simply wonderful

One of the hardest thing about this (or other Chi Sau types of exercises) is to relax in order to react, be sensitive, to stick to the partner and not think about just hitting. Deepest respect

He's so good! Lots of fun.

Sifu Fong is crazy smooth with the clinch range. Since you've both practiced other arts as well, I'd love to see him applying this against you/someone trying to disengage or trying to tie up for wrestling. Or even just your Muay Thai sparring! (I was hoping to see something like that when I clicked your video)

Need more stuff of Sifu ❤

You have no idea how much this helps.

I used wing chun in my octagon days. It most definately works❤

That’s great stuff !

Excellent!!!

Dr Sung from KumSung martial arts school Headquarter. Well done, great filming and technic. Thank You. New Jersey

After I practiced Wing Tsun which all alone was almost useless in real life situation I developed an improved tactile sensitivity which helped me in wrestling. Only the WT/WC chi sao drill I think are not really useful in real life but the fact that you learn to feel your opponent's movements is pretty good!

I think an often overlooked importance of dan chi, is keeping the shoulders and hips squared while sinking through the elbow as to build the structure and rhythm. I have seen too many people go direct to two hand chi, loose structured and then they get caught in Left Right rhythm of LRL RLR RLRL - 1 beat rhythm, constantly crossing centre line. Instead dan chi, builds the reflex and structure to fight on one side keeping half beat rhythm - LLLR RRRL RRLL LLRR LLL RRR

Thank you!

Was Randy Williams under Augustine Fong at some point? Great video, this guy is sparking an Interest in the wchun for me again

I done Boxing and WC so I can tell how great s martial artist Kevin Lee is ... Sifu Francis is super human in his ability against Kevin

You see in other videos that he's often looking away. The sensitivity makes a lot of sense when you have something to feel, so be wary of the range at which you do it.

Sifu is off the hook!

Sifu Fong is a real kung fu master

that Jum Sao that sifu does deflects the energy to the floor… When I do Jum Sao I counter and point the energy back to the person’s center mass and they’ll feel the pressure in his legs

Your dojo just best Astral location. 👌

Man could make anyones force output weak af with timing and counter in five ways already in the next position im mixing this with kenpo and boxing rn trying to make some insane god arm and hand technique lmao

Next level getting beat up. Beautiful! Don't you want to see Sifu Fong / Icy Mike?

You know what about xu xiaodong??

Nice video. But I'm missing a bit more guidance. It feels like a video from beginners but it does not have the step by step approach. Really nice demonstration though. Last question, I didn't understand how this would be implemented in a fight with another fighting style. What if your end doesn't follow your hand movements ?

8:29: 'what the hell' indeed. K's outside high gan hand didn't have any 'going towards center' pressure + sink, so guess what, it's open season on your head. Or do a kao while turning . yeah he's kind of already too close so you'l have to do both in sequence while stepping to your left IMO.

@dtoad5576

plus K's not really 'attacking' forwards with his motions right there, so it ends up not having enough forward pressure in the midst of the moves and their changes. Yes just a demo but you gotta realize why a combo of unrelenting attacks together end up overwhelming the defender's space
