"First off, just so those reading this will know I have some knowledge in this area, I studied Northern Shaolin for 5 years while I lived in an area where there was an instructor who was from China. Learning from someone in person is the best way but for those of us not living near an instructor this is the 2nd best way. I purchased this DVD along with Master Wongs self defense DVD about a month ago and have been very pleased. I would also recommend William M. Cheung Wing Chun DVD series which I also purchased. I found there is information covered by one instructor that is not covered by the other. So if you are like me and are unfortunate enough to live in an area where no one teaches wing chun I believe it is best to get your hands on as many different DVDs as you can. Master Wongs DVDs are very much hands on and even if you don't have a partner to practice with there is much to learn from these DVDs. Ideally you practice the moves with a partner wearing full body padding (recommend equipment is covered on the DVD) where you can really hit the person and not hurt them but as I already said either way there is much to learn. For the price get this one from amazon (since it can cost twice as much elsewhere) and if you like it I would get the other one and also look into getting the rest of his series which unfortunately at the moment you'll have to get from other then amazon.com as I had to do which I already mentioned will cost you about twice as much per DVD."

Wow !

"I popped this DVD in, and expected the typical, slow-motion "classical" stuff. But the things shown are powerful, fast, and dynamic. They really show you how wing chun can be used in "combat" (real street fights and self-defense situations). This is obviously a very effective "street art" as well as being a traditional art."

This is NOT Wing Chun

"The "Little Idea" was pulled apart, picked over, and repackaged into nothing even close to Wing Chun. The principles are shot to hell here. For example, you don't wail away and overpower your opponent with brute force, you feel your way over the bridge and strike efficiently. His movements are wasteful in the extreme, his stance and center of balance constantly leaving him wide open to a real wingchunner's strike. Whatever this guy is demonstrating, it is far closer to MMA than Wing Chun. Save your money."

Not Wing Chun

"There is a part in this DVD series where the "master" says something to the effect that maybe you want to hit this guy because you dont like the way he's looking at you". This goes against the philosophy for ANY martial arts and certainly for Wing Chun. Some of the techniques are also not Wing Chun."
