I love the way Fong Sifu moves. This is a master who has done the movements a literal million times, just in the first few years. Wing Chun knows how to fight and train! I learn something every time I meet a brother from this art.

yea...their master's seriously hurt some folks in his younger days.. Wing Chun standard is weapon's art. The hand-to-hand style is to give a general understanding of body movement, hand trapping, retaliation, and striking (stab, slash, chop); so when applied to knife or staff uses you know what to do and can amplify your output.

@@zato6226 Luckily, it's about the martial artist, not this or that art. It's not the weapon, but the person wielding it. In my experience, it usually comes down to who has trained the hardest, most correctly, over the longest period. Even in my own excellent sword art, most practitioners don't put in the time, or didn't get it from a true master, and that will catch up with them if it's ever put to the test. Find a good teacher, train hard. That's all one can do.

Sifu Fong in Atlanta is a really good teacher and is knowledgeable in multiple arts.. The guy he is working with is Kevin Lee, who seems to be becoming a good instructor in his own right (plus a really good hearted guy in general). I highly recommend studying with Sifu or most of his students! Sadly I no longer live close enough to do so regularly.

That doesn't really happen these days, but, in the past, yes-death and serious injury was sometimes the result of feuds between schools. The new way is better, but it also allows a lot of unqualified people to teach martial arts. If you're interested in this stuff, make sure you find a qualified teacher like Master Fong.

It's a pressure control drill. The master is not taking this extremelly seriously, this is almost fun for the sake of fun. You can see the student(who is also a master, i guess) has a nice understanding of the basics, but fails to predict and react to the pressures exerted by the knifes.

@YauRemi 2 жыл бұрын

If you're just a novice then no, but there's a reason why repetition is taught in all martial arts so your body just reacts. If you notice the sifu, his expertise with the butterfly swords is beyond thinking and he just does it. If you are familiar with a weapon then you dont even have to think, granted butterfly knives take a greater amount of skill to use than your average longsword or spear. You can give a novice a longsword or spear and they would be more lethal than somebody that is a novice with the butterfly swords.

Full combat wearing full protective gear is as close as you can get with Out Really being Real especially with a cutting slashing large knife. As a simple cut can end things.

i love Fong sifu when it comes to hand-to-hand combat but this knife video is utterly unrealistic, in real life the knife attack is fierce and they absolutely will not follow your "lock" or circular motion..., if you want to see what real knife attack is, search for "prison sewing machine", that's how real people with real intention to hurt each other do, continuously stab with front hand as a barrier, ignore damage on themself, their only intention is to hurt the other more!! when it comes to knife it is not a civilian matter anymore, it is life or death situation, you will get stab and hopefully end the fight before you bleed out (aka stab the other more and he bleed out before you do).
