he is also cross trained in other arts

basic information in Chinese martial arts no need to pack yourself on the back

@makaveli thedon damn son.. your balls on your face?!

This master won't do anything. Wing chun is useless in a real life or death fight. Watch the videos of wing chun vs other martial arts and wing chun always loses. Tell me why you never see it used in MMA?

@@tacomator2895 Sifu fong is demonstrating reflex response…I attended many a seminar late 80s and early 90 s, he is a full muay Thai instructor under Ajarn Chai Sirisute. I believe he is also full instructor under Guru Dan Inosanto in Kali and JKD, he also has experience in other arts and western boxing as well, but yes his core experience is in Wing Chun… he is very dangerous if he wasn’t so nice!

@Bebo Again this is a brief snippet of a training session, perhaps showing one (yes less practical) of other counters to a double leg takedown. I know there are many delusional wing chin instructors on KZfaq but I promise you Sifu Fong is an exceptional instructor and very practical, he also studied Judo for several years in Hong Kong. He is a very open minded, true martial artist. I am not one of his students but attended seminars from him in Late 90 s and early 90 s. He use to have a summer camp with Guru Dan and Ajarn Chai.

@Bebo what is being shown is a brief look of a training session or seminar. With all due respect, I do not think you can say someone’s experience in an art is crap by a quick transitional snap shot. Sifu Fong is a great martial artist, I have not attended his seminars in quite some time, so I do not know if he studied more of grappling arts, similarly to Guru Dan who has earned his black belt under the Machados, I believe in his 70s. What I do know is His Uke/student is now a black belt in BJJ under Pedro Sauer so his school has access to very practical methods of grappling which would encompass defense against a double leg takedowns, Unfortunately there are many so called masters on KZfaq but Sifu Fong should not be included Int that “crap”. Let’s be respectful to those that deserve respect.

Arturo, so how have your classes been going?

Are you still training? Did you find a good teacher?

wotchthiz Yeah they never are when it comes to fighting or even sparring. You'll never see it as robotic as when learnt from a reference point. But it's the same even with boxing, when on the pads you can't miss, but when in the ring not all of your shots land, I believe arts such as wing chun are unfairly judged.

You haven't ever seen a good wing chun practitioner get in a fight.

+G Spier - exactly.... the only non believers r the ones who haven't sparred with the real Masters. And free spar not just chi sau. travel, experience, be awed. until then they need to STFU

You could say that about any art, including boxing, BJJ, etc. Fights are messy, but it helps to have a starting point of crisp technique.

@@legacyjeetkunedo492 Definitely. A real fight is usually unpredictable, but when you have a tool box of fighting techniques to choose from (as this master does), you can adapt and improvise.

“天下武功，唯快不破”

I wouldn't even say he planned the next 4 moves, but rather mastered the sensitivity and flow of many angles from chi sao to the extent where his body subconsciously reacts to any motion given or taken.

Michael Hanlon actually as i know wing chun is mastered to knock someone out just in 1 or 2 shots...mostly people mastered wing chun does not easily show themselves...but the moment they open up...thats it hahahaha

see how francis fong keeps his elbows in place, not letting his elbows going backward, so his intention still go forward

that's a part of the sil lim tao. concept of lat sao jik chung, one of the primary and first handfull of concepts taught.

thats why it doesnt work in mma

​@@error2k1 why so many obsessed MMA fanboys. It's like the worst thing to enter the world of mixed martial arts. Always ends up hugging on the floor until the bell rings, seriously boring, not realistic in the real world. Kudos to those who enjoy the sport in the octagon, for me it's boring and a little bit gay compared to BKFC or Streetbeefs.

Me too!

I mean thats also true to all pure Martial Arts though(that arent usually cross-practiced). A boxer will learn how to fight against boxers, wrestlers against wrestlers and bjj against bjj (that doesnt mean that all of them are useless against one another, some are more applicable in most scenarios than others). Also a Wing Chun guy will very likely not outstrike a boxer, but he doesnt need to, because of low kicks, grappling and depending on the school even some ground game.

lots of wives lol

I agree with most of what you said but regarding "untrained" fighters... Ive known untrained "street fighters" that will give trained fighters a run for their money 😇

@@redpillpusher oh for sure. There are some guys that are just naturally good with their hands etc. I’d say those types of untrained fighters would generally whoop most martial arts dudes other than guys with solid boxing/kickboxing or Muay Thai skills. Maybe a guy with a solid background in BJJ plus wrestling would also handle an untrained but talented street fighter assuming he’s good at avoiding strikes and shooting in etc.

we mixes it with grappling wow

I did WC back when I was a bouncer in the 90s. As did my best friend who is a full instructor in WC now. We all wanted to fight back then. It’s why we took the job. It was the only way to know if what we were doing really worked on “bad boys.”

Grapple. Trap and strike. Francis Fong is not 1 dimensional.

Outside Atlanta Georgia

@Bebo Lol! Please kindly show a clip of Wing Chun fighter with proper guard stance. Also, kicking the balls is not the optimum solution. I'm not a gifted athlete,but a true desk jockey. I started training muaythai at 57, and here is yours truly training at age 76++. Do you sincerely beleive a Wing Chun fighter can easily kick my balls? May be you can offer a clip of yourself to confirm what you've posted. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/etxdqcWHl5u3c4U.html

Who told you that? It's nonsense.

That's true no matter what you train.

Jiu Wan, Dan Inosanto and Ajarn Chai Sirisute at least, but probably he has learned from many others as well over 50 years.

Just outside the city of Atlanta. Near the Northeast part of the city.
