Nice demo. As a former wrestler myself (as a kid) I absolutely love the way Sifu Collins seamlessly transitions in Chi-Sau from the classic upright WT stance into grappling, taking the back and taking his opponent down. He is one of the few who is taking WT where it needs to go to remain relevant. I started WC in the late 1970s and then studied under Leung Ting starting in 1980. I'm getting into my late 60s now, but if I were younger, I would track this guy down and learn from him.

Thank you sir.

I respect that you are featuring your students in this video. It's one thing to show how well you use your system, but a much greater thing if you can demonstrate that you can teach it.

Absolutely!!!

I love it Sifu, it’s nice to see the grappling arts sprinkled into your wing Chun system. I would love to train with you and level up my wing Chun in the new year. Much love.

great master

I would love a wooden dummy yet I have yet to find one that they make for people in a wheelchair. I know it would help out my fucked up shoulder to get all the motion back in it. If you got twitter or instagram I could send you an x-ray of my shoulder so you could understand and give me tips to give me full motion back. I not worried about me legs they are beyond hope now days all metal in them. I just want to strengthen my screwed up shoulder and wooden dummy seems nice for low impact. Just the motions of it would help out.

@@SifuChrisCollins No worries buddy.

There's no doubt that Wing Chun does have a wrestling element too it. Leung Ting? One of Yip Man student's mention that Wing Chun is a concept and not a style. So it embodies different characteristics of striking and grappling. You can shape it to suit your needs and wants and wants.

Im confused about the stance, wont just one teep completely throw u off balance

There is multiple small things do to maintain balance i was also confused about it until i actually took classes you spead your feet shoulder length apart intertwine your feet slightly and bend the knees very slightly ofcourse many things could still throw you off balance but you get way more balance doing this than just standing normal and also in my opinion you can lean much further without having to move your legs if needs be
