Sifu Ben Der: "I'm not a master, I'm still learning". That's what you call humble. Life is a journey, and you never stop learning until the day you die.

Glad to see Sifu Ben still teaching Wing Chun. Watching this brought back so many good memories of 1974 when I studied in his classes at San Jose State and in his backyard in South San Jose. I really enjoyed those classes.

He shouldn't be teaching Wing Chun because he only knows the modified version of Wing Chun, and that is flawed. JKD is EXTREMELY flawed because it uses Boxing derivatives, that are inherently flawed, stiff, and INCOMPLETE!!

You notice literally everyone else says Cheung made his stuff up and there's literally no substance or proof for his claims, right? Your forms don't even conform to the core structure of Wing Chun. The only one with modified anything is you because Cheung was so damn busy chasing girls that he never paid attention in class and had to make up a bunch of lies to explain why his wing chun looks so different. I try to stay out of wing Chun drama but you keep insulting people you can't hold a candle to. Stop being a keyboard warrior and go touch some actual hands, jfc

Whenever talking about YIP man & the late Bruce Lee. It needs to be known that Bruce was taught for only 1 year by two senior students at the Yip mans school. They were Won Shun Lueng & William Chung. William Chung was my grandmaster & I have the pleasure of meeting & training with Wong Shon Lueng only two times here in Sydney. He was a very polite quiet friendly guy. He showed us one movement in the Silum Toa form that he considered useless. At the time I had a business near the school run by Sifu Bill Lee who invited his master Wong Shong Lueng meet us all. It was an honor & a privilege to meet & train with these people

Honoring your teachers at the beginning of the path, in the middle of the path and at the end of the path is to preserve solid learning. CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU WHO, EVEN AFTER YOU ARE ELDERLY, CONTINUE TO HONOR YOUR TEACHERS!

This was a greatg video. sakute ti Sifu Ben we are from the same lineage which is another reason i was joyed watching him tell the same stories as told to me by my Sifu Mark Stoddard who learned under Chun Mann Nin aka Sifu Kenneth Chung whi was also a student of Lueng Sheung. I am from buffalo ny and I still practice daily so salute to you all.

Sifu Ben is a godsend. He's so kind and so patient. I'm very lucky to be able to say I am his student.

this man is just wow. Immense.

Charming teacher who clearly has more than ability, he has spirit and humanity.

Sifu Ben is great. I remember him and SiGung Ken Chung visiting Sifu Eddie Chong's Sunset Wing Chun classe in San Francisco in the early 80's. Sifu Eddie at the time had a couple of San Quentin prison guards and the prison psychologist among his students. I remember one of the big guards chi saoing with SiBok Ben (Senior Uncle to me. He is the one who introduced Eddie to Ken.) SiBok Ben was stopping the guard with two fingers!! The guard, try as he could, never touched SiBok Ben's chest. We were all amazed as Ben mentioned he has a handicap. One leg is shorter than the other. He was always relaxed and good humored. Glad to see Sifu Ben and Sifu Harindr together. Sifu Harindr came to the Small Circle Jujitsu Hombu in Alameda as a guest of Prof Jim Hundon at Prof Wally Jay's home dojo. It was during a visit of Prof Leon Jay. Harindr gave an impressive demo. By the way, Bruce Lee trained and traded knowledge with Prof Wally Jay in the sixties within the same walls. God bless you both, your students and the Budo Brothers for the presentation of a mother art of JKD by one who was there.

Sifu Ben is an awesome person. He has teaching hands. Anyone who has the fortune of working out with him, he can immediately improve your technique. You can’t tell through the video but pun sau with him, feels like wrestling bars of steel.

Oh my god this is so true. His hands feel so heavy but that's just the forward energy. Working out with Sifu is exhausting but so worth it. And he's just a joy to be around.

So true you know being a martial artist isn't just about fighting it's about a way of life and how you treat yourself how you treat your body and how you treat others I've been doing more sorts since I was five and I'm 55 years old and I studied Wing Chun and tight each one and then my teacher had a hapkido teacher and I learned hapkido in my early twenties after doing kung fu for 18 years and it's good to know different different styles there is no best it's the teacher in the individual and how hard you train I was fortunate where I trained in Chinatown in New York and trained under the same Federation yep man and I have to say when anytime I taught my students they taught how to be humble and how to heal with it yes if someone comes looking for trouble we will do what we need to do but it's about peace and harmony and it really will help you in your life and you're walking life that's the most important thing and I don't believe in belts and ranks cuz you're always learning and every time I told my students I learned something from them cuz every student is different and you have to learn to have patience because not every student can do the same thing as your other students some might have back problems some might have injuries some might lose focus so you you have to learn to balance and have patience and teach them right and I'm still learning I used to have a school years ago and now I just do it to myself and total my kids it is a way of life for me and I love doing Tai Chi Chuan with my hot keto and Wing Chun cuz a lot of wind Chun has Tai Chi Chuan moves you learn how to flow in them and you do tight she cuz it's very slow movement so you develop a lot of power and a lot of speed and technique and timing is everything or in the technique warn the timing and the speed will come my master always told me that technique technique get your timing and your speed automatically comes hapkido is the totally different system than the Kung Fu it has an offense and defense in locks so I I developed a system every system I teach is a full core system but I do have a combat system that it was designed for the street and I shorten the techniques so where you can flow Tai Chi into Wing Chung or wind Chung into Tai Chi right into hapkido locks and throw them break while they're in the air and you could break while they hit the ground and you don't let go see like in Jiu-Jitsu they throw their opponent use their own Force against yourself and help keto when you block I break when I throw you you're broke and when you come to the ground I don't let go if it's necessary but you don't have to do that but that's how how ketos taught in a lot of Choke outs Wing Chun is all trapping and blocking and I am Palm strikes and nerve damage and pressure points and crane techniques you know it has a lot of kung fu different systems in it too and Tai Chi to me there is no best but I think Tai Chi is one of the best forms to do cuz it relaxes your body it controls your blood pressure he can raise your heartbeat you could slow it down your fluid your woe to the ground you come up and you doing everything slow and you develop a lot of power so a lot of my students some just want to learn hapkido so what just teach them how keto but I would always make them do tai chi cuz it made their system so much better into fight against other systems so a lot of my friends had different styles that they taught and my students would get together and they would fight against different systems and aspiring way cuz when you fight in a ring and you fight in the street it's different so you have to learn to be able to get hit and be able to take a punch cuz if you can't take a punch or get hit it's not going to do you any good and no matter how much martial arts you learn if you're free to apply and use it when you have to it's not going to do you any good so you can't be afraid to use it you can't be afraid to apply it when it's necessary and you must never hesitate against your opponent so I used to teach the traditional systems but at the same time teach them a combat system designed for the street cuz there's a lot of people out there in the street that know how to fight I want to hurt people there's people that don't know martial artists that know how to fight really good and dirty in the street that could beat martial artist so you got to know how to get yourself if you get yourself in that situation so it's good to know different areas learn how to fight if you get knocked on the ground you need to know all these different systems I prefer not to be on the ground I like to take you out when you're standing up it's I feel it's not necessary to wrestle people on the ground but if you get knocked down you should always be able and be prepared and how to get yourself out of it so a lot of my students wanted to just learn self-defense so I would just teach them a combat system tight sheet and master Tai Chi would take you over 20 years you got to learn the forms you got to wearing your push and pull iron Palm strikes you got to have a full with your tea and yes it is an exercise but at the same time it is a deadly art and it was designed by a woman and it has every system in it so when Chung is my foundation and I love it but I love to do the Tai Chi with it he just benefits so much from it but everyone have a wonderful blessed day and continue to crush life and be blessed and be humble

I practiced wing chun for almost 25 years with a lot of masters , and this is one of the awarenes and wise sifu than ever see it before about why in every aspect we do in chi sao the actions like this , one of the best truly sifus for wing chun today , im glad to find this video

Very good explanation n demonstrations, Sifu Ben Der is really good teaching Wing Chun.

Excellent Wing Chun basic training on proper mindset and skill set. As a JKD student of Dan Inostanto and Richard Bustillo from 1976 to this present day I find that a true student never reaches his or her ceiling of learning. Thanks for sharing your Sifu with us.🙏🏽

only by watching sifu i learned the wing chun is all about. he is the real Master of this art. much respect for Sifu

That is a amazing martial art. I love Wing Chun, and a been practicing everyday for to understand and to lear more about soo and to defend myself from the bullying guys!!

Un excelente maestro🙏👍

Yes.

Thank you

He sounds down to earth and wise. Also he is not afraid to ask questions, adapt, brainstorm. It looks slow and basic because he is teaching the principles, position, rotation, relaxation, spiraling, rooting. Later as you do more and add to those, they give the support for power, speed, quality, balance. You are training muscle memory and alignment too. Around 16:00 when he is showing ‘wrong’ ways, you notice he is moving too much and focused on the shoulders and out-muscling the opponent. He is lifting his bong sau with the shoulder, instead of corkscrewing it forward . If you try both ways it feels way different, and the structure behind it is also far different. In the correct ways, you feel secure rooting and balance, but you focus on your elbows, hips, lats. Plus you use some spiraling or rotation and deflection to move the opponent. Sifu calls that ‘sliding leverage’ at times. Wing Chun emphasizes relaxation and touch, but don’t forget eventually to add speed, power, mobility and explosiveness to have all attributes.

YOU, are a Grandmaster Cheung student, aren't you??? LOL, only Grandmaster Cheung is the one who said to watch the front elbow and KNEE, which, as you just stated, moves 2 times slower when doing any straight movement, such as a jab or straight kick, and 4 times slower when doing a hook or some kind of hook kick. You are absolutely correct! If you watch the eyes, head or shoulders, you can fooled by a fake. By watching the elbow and knee, there is no chance of that because they must raise the elbow or knee FIRST before doing a kick or punch. By the way, you are learning one of the BEST systems, and most complete systems in the traditional form!

😮 that was great. The best life lesson is yes, my dear. I am from San Francisco from the man by family. Been studying over 20 years. And my family’s been new martial arts Chinese martial arts for a few thousand years. I enjoyed that stuff I was awesome.

1 thing we need to learn while learning martial art 'HUMILITY' !

Peace I think it is dope how at one point in the video the sun rays were shining on Sifu Ben Der.

This video is especially interesting for me due to my Uncle. He told me about training in martial arts when he got out of the Navy. (He ultimately died due to his service in Viet Nam) He told me about Arnold Swanziager m/s, and about a martial arts instructor who was close to Bruce Lee. This would of been in the early 70s. As I said, he's passed away now, so I can't ask him about this video. As a result of what he told me. I've always been interested in Jeet Kune Do (m/s?) I remember as a young boy. After my Uncle came back from California to live in Colorado. How massive his arms were. He was seriously into martial arts and weightlifting.

Great stuff !

I didn’t know that band was still together. Everybody Have Fun Tonight!

I have never referred to myself as a master either, I consider myself a teacher and a student. I believe we will never know everything therefore we continually learn grow and adapt as individuals. We strive towards perfection of ourselves and continue to learn as long as we continue to have an open mind.

You HAVE to focus on sensitivity since you do NOT have a complete system!! It is missing the key elements (the angled footwork to the outside of the attacking arm and body rotation towards the attack), that make the system work PROPERLY and efficiently! Plus, you only use six of ten concepts, which adds flaws and stiffness to your system! Traditional uses ALL TEN CONCEPTS AT ONCE, which take out all initial flaws and stiffness, if you know the entire traditional system and know how to use it properly! But be forewarned! Sensitivity DOES NOT WORK unless you know the ENTIRE system, be it modified or traditional!! You MUST know the system and know how to use it first to get the most out of your use of sensitivity training!!!

It’s not the nucleus of JKD. In the beginning, sure but JKD is more about detachment than sticking or sensitivity.

Would like to see Wing Chun face off a boxer

What about the back fist and 1 inch punch

What is being said about Wing Chun being the core of JKD would be more true if Bruce had "finished" his Wing Chun training. He did not(chum kiu/biu gee)--nor did he finish his muk yan jong training.

25:35 She would have punched him with her left, really good stuff

This looks more like a discipline or an art than an actual fighting skill cause nobody fights like that in real life

If sifu was younger he'd whoop ol baldy

Nope, FMA is the nucleus of JKD or else Mr Lee would have just named it Wing Chun plus. Wing Chun rarely adapt other styles but the soul of FMA welcome and adapt other styles. The history of Philippines alone consist of multi-colonist. That is why China took years to accept JKD. This one of the reason Mr Lee get challenge ALL the time fighting his OWN people.
