You might not believe it, but this unassuming man was tagged by his peers as... "The Most Powerful Man In The World, Pound for Pound".....even at age 53!
So how did someone so skinny, teaching these subtleties, cause people to say things like "I have never seen anyone move as fast as Chu Shong Tin...or with as much power" - Marty Anderson
And is it a coincidence that the great Ip Man called him "The King Of Siu Lim Tao"?
(- that's Wing Chun's 1st Form - often practiced slowly with precision)
Wing Chun's internal skills and training are the source of that power...
These subtleties are the fountain from which it all pours forth.
But as they are internal...that also makes them pretty hard to see!
For beginners it is almost impossible.
So in all honesty we do expect the more advanced Wing Chun students to get the most out of this video, as we analyse the subtle internal aspects being taught by Grandmaster Chu Shong Tin
- tho let us know what you see in the comments below! 👇
If you have experience of Wing Chun, then we hope you enjoy this glimpse into Grandmaster Chu Shong Tin's teaching of the subtle refined internals to other Sifu's.
If you're new to this, but can trust that there's no smoke without fire, and are interested to know more, then come let us show you step by step at our Online School:

Chu Shong Tin was my teacher.
And it is a privilege to share with others what he shared with us ☯️ 🙏

These old pieces of footage also show when Beau was performing the move to sigungs satisfaction , Beau truly could feel that he was using very little effort. Similarly Mark and you could see his intention in his facial expression whilst remaining relaxed. Nima , most people would need to physically feel this to comprehend the relaxed state behind the power that can be generated. Great video. Feel free to strip any of mine or Graham’s stuff from 91 and use them for similar instructions. Cheers brother

@MindfulWingChun Ай бұрын

Absolutely. For us that know it's a clear change in the physical expressions of the person when they are more in the state. And thanks very much for the offer of using your videos to do the same. I think it will be very helpful for people. I wish there was a way I could get the original resolutions from you cause when downloading them off youtune the quality is pretty bad

@tomallison7557 Ай бұрын

Love these video breakdowns - is a really good chance to see a little more through your eyes Nima and unserstand what you mean when you say 'the force has entered the joint' etc. To see the compassion of Sigung working on someone like Beau, the more senior, and then attempt but not even want to continue on the younger lesss experienced and to see clearly why. Great insight and looking forward to more of these gems! Thanks

@MindfulWingChun Ай бұрын

For me too. I myself was training in this lineage in Sydney and there was always talk of what he could do. I was a teenager and working as a bouncer at the time. so I didn't believe in any 'internal' things. That all changed very quickly as soon as I met him in sydney in 2003, and right then and there I decided to come to Hong Kong to learn from him. Eventhough he was 70+ yrs. old at the time, his power was shocking and his humility heart warming. It was something I had to be a part of...

I am living in Vancouver and previously study Wing chun under one of Master Chu's student. The hidden power of nim tao really benefit me on my job position. I feel easy and relax on duty which required great muscle force (some of my co-worker call me muscle-man). Until now I get the point of "joint to joint" to make a movement instead of gathering up muscle.😊

However, according to my memory, this teaching style do get attention from people of different gender and age !!!😅

@bernardszeto2171 haha, yeah I heard there was a lot of standing going on at Leo's school. It's good that you're practcing SNT and not just standing. That is important. To activate the state he is talking about here does require the actual practice of SNT ans not just standing with the hands by the side.

Didn't have the fortune to meet Dan yet, but I would love to. I like reading the whole IP/ Aiki stuff in the forums and he's getting highly praised by all the high level people who met him. I guess I should train more and stop being so invested in other peoples abilities 😂

Thanks for continuing to share your goldmine of videos, Wing Chun is an art that will never cease to fascinate and inspire me. I love your channel and grand master Chu Shong-tin videos. Wing Chun is an art I began practicing in the UK when I was a Uni student around 13 years ago. I can honestly say it’s an art that’s helped me as an individual and discovering more about the internal side to the practice makes me want to practice Sil lim tao much more diligently.

@PaMuShin Ай бұрын

Although it is kind of expected coming from a nun, i am still surprised that wing chun having this. Nice that people still cultivating this mind intent teaching. For most people without meditation foundation it is probably gonna be completely in vain, cause they cannot perceive the subtle sensations. Understanding the aggregates and the role of intent is not a simple thing. But thanks for uploading and inspiring people.

@MindfulWingChun Ай бұрын

That's very true. Most don't perceive the subtle sensations and the effect of the intent on the body and the entire human system. It seems that more and more people are waking up to the importance of inner work these days. Atleast that's my perception.

Bruce Lee said " Be like water." There's a Japanese scientist who discovered that good/bad words and emotions effect how water freezes making either beautiful snowflake crystal patterns or chaotic messes when it freezes using negative/positive emotions or simple words. I wonder what Bruce would have thought about this as it gives new meaning to " Be like water."

@MindfulWingChun Ай бұрын

yes I remember seeing that about the Japanese scientist Masaru Emoto on the show 'what the bleep do we know'. I think it was a show by Joe Dispenza, who has since then gone on to discover some amazing stuff about quantum physics and the power of intention. Main stream calls him a pseudo scientist though

@stm5578 Ай бұрын

@@MindfulWingChun yes Emoto was his name. I'm not sure if it was him, but I heard of another experiment involving rice in jars with labels, with good and bad words written on them, good word made sweet aroma when fermented and bad words made the rice turn black and foul. All soaked with water. The Christian Bible talks about water being alive, maybe we should think more spiritually about life around us? It's all connected in ways we do not fully understand or see with our eyes. Most will not even pay attention to it.

Hey Nima, nice vid, I have little time for social media. But it seems like a little what I teach my boys. I've always believed the body interacted with a globalised sensitised and neural and physical conduit. I try teach them to listen to it physically with the mind and not debate it. 😂 I give em a lot of analogies to relax the body. It's fun👍 The mind force debate versus what's chi was a big ball busting debate for Sifu Jim and Sifu Albert in the early days 😂😂😂 I felt sorry for them 😂😂😂 When you say deceptive you hit the nail on the head lol 🎉

@MindfulWingChun Ай бұрын

Yeah even until he passed away, CST was clear that he didn't know and couldn't explain what the flow was that he could feel, and transmit to some of us who were able to receive it to relax. But what he did always highlight is that its an ability everyone has and they just need to learn to use the mind to guide it after they have achieved a high enough level of relaxation ans opening of the body.

@sifpaulfernandezthewingchundao Ай бұрын

@@MindfulWingChun it's very interesting. When I was little and listened to the instructors talk about it or Sifu Jim Talk about it I just say it intrigued me a great deal. Always. Im pretty sure I have in my old archives a video where Sigung said he allowed himself to be tested and that the results pointed to a part of the brain we don't use consciously but that he was able to activate it at will... Probably not intentionally but he made it work.... I cant seem to find it on the net but I'm sure I have it somewhere.. Anyway nice

@MindfulWingChun Ай бұрын

@sifpaulfernandezthewingchundao no he wasn't tested scientifically. He was set to be tested and then he got diagnosed with cancer and was asked not to fly out of HK (it was going to take place in Australia). He just felt that he is activating the back part of the brain. It's what he felt, so not scientifically proven. He did say that the activity of the front lobe and analytical part of the brain decreases and that we can't 'think' our way into this state.

Yeah that was the main point of his teachings in the last couple of years of his life "no arms, no legs". He said you lose the sense of separation between the limbs and the body and therefore the body feels like one unified thing (and there is sense of emptiness).

This is where Chu Shong Tin was very different. He would put it on display and let us film in day in day out. Just because people see it doesn't mean they can do it though. Thats why we put his entire teachings online on our online school and go through it step by step. But even then, the only way is to practice it. Those with bad character usually will not be able to get it because they aren't able to 'let go' of deep levels of mental and physical tension. Hence why this is potentially a transformational practice which can tame a person to the core and make an angry or violent man and bring peace into his/her life. I know this from personal experience

I do not understand this comment that the openness in the joints need to be first and the chi comes second. It seems to me in the video that the all these people didn't have joints that were open, rather their joints were opened by the chi, given to them bei the CST. Which to me means that the 'rising' is the first step.

@MindfulWingChun 7 күн бұрын

indeed, the openness and flow in intention are a synonym and simultaneous. Once the intention can flow through to a high/deep enough level, there will be a flow of energy. Non of these studetns in the video were using chi/nim lik. It was just an openly activated body using intention. The comment in the video was that those who claim to have energy but can not simply move their joints against direct resistance are not using real Chi. Simply put, many of the young "masters" who claim they are using Chi wouldn't even be able to do 5 clean pull ups using openly stabilized biomechanics.
