Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wong Shun Leung DVD
Review: Video quality is above average. Felt like watching a good quality VCD. Audio is fair. This is a wing chun DVD with substance. Excellent demonstration by the Master and his students. Commentary was very good. It showed the basic principles and more importantly the application of those principles. Well structured content. Definitely a valuable resource for those training wing chun. Hope the advanced series will be out.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A review by a beginner in Wing Chun
Review: Video quality is good considering the age of the original footage. English dubbing was OK, but I also expected the original Chinese to be available. Oh well ....

A pretty basic introduction to the main Wing Chun philosophy, centre line theory, gates, etc.

Good demonstration of the basic footwork and how to apply it. Brief run through of the first form: Sil Lim Tao and applications.

What I enjoyed the most was towards the end with the 2-man scenarios. Sifu Wong would demonstrate a technique taken from Sil Lim Tao which one of his students would counter, then the next scene would be his counter to the counter.

You won't be able to learn Wing Chun from this DVD, but it is a good overview of the Wing Chun philosophy and some very well filmed sequences. I'm sure I will dip into this periodically as my own Wing Chun training progresses.

Sifu Wong died in 1997 so there is no follow up video demonstrating the next form: Chum Kiu (Searching for the Bridge). A great shame.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Go to a studio
Review: You are not going to learn kung fu by watching a DVD. Spend the cash and go learn it from a professional; proper technique has to be learned from the start in order for a student to progress.
