Grandmaster Ip Man took Wing Chun out of Fatsan, China and, reluctantly,started propagating his art in Hong Kong in 1950. At the same time, Wing Chun was slowly growing in Fatsan with different sects flowering, most notable of which are the Pan Nam Wing Chun and Lai Yip-chi Wing Chun*. Finally, in October 1996, fuelled by his reputation as THE KING FIGHTER and the mentor of Bruce Lee, Sifu Wong Shun-leung, brought the Hong Kong style of Wing Chun (or Ving Tsun as he preferred to spell it as) which he learned from Grandmaster Ip Man back to China – not Fatsan, but Beijing (previously known as Peking), the capital of the Middle Kingdom. The seminar �� was entitled ‘1996 All China Ving Tsun Gung-fu Short Course’ but is commonly known within the Wing Chun fraternity as the Beijing Wing Chun Seminar of 1996. At the seminar, Sifu Wong was assisted by his close-door student Sifu Li ‡ and a few other close disciples in his inner sanctum. Watch footage of Sifu Wong during that historical seminar here: /watch?v=SrHuz1uXDBs This book, penned by Sifu Li, springs from that Wing Chun Seminar in October 1996. It is not the Fatsan Style of Wing Chun. But the crystallized Wing Chun which Sifu Wong, in the final stage of his life, taught in Beijing. This book spans 164 pages and measures 228 x 171 mm (8.98 x 6.73 ins), and is lavished with top-quality colour photographs throughout. This edition comes with a jacket and has 2 BONUS DVDs (49 mins 31 secs and 59 mins 8 secs) demonstrating the Wing Chun movements and techniques. The DVDs are excellent! The movements and techniques are performed slowly and there are side and top views plus freeze frames. Special points worthy of emphasis are highlighted with close-ups on the fingers, palm and wrist positions. The DVDs are presented by Sifu Li who is also one of the four demonstrators (again dressed in contrasty colors) in the program. PHOTO HIGHLIGHT The protagonists and antagonists are dressed in starkly distinctive colors (all blue and all red), thus lending great contrast to the techniques in execution. This book includes a color picture of the Beijing Wing Chun Seminar of 1996. There are no photos of Sifu Wong in the book; neither does he appear in the DVDs. And both the book and the 2 DVDs are not a record of the proceedings at the Beijing Seminar. No such record of that seminar, either in book or DVD, exists for commercial purposes. And even if there were, the quality photos and DVDs would have been disappointing. But not so, this book and 2 DVDs which are of top quality. The accompanying photograph – not included in the book and 2 DVDs – shows Sifu Wong Shun-leung teaching Sifu Li the finer points of his Scientific Wing Chun – the silky skills that made him THE KING FIGHTER! ONE COPY ONLY! Very sorry, no Second Chance Offers will be made. Please view my other items as postage discount will be offered to successful bidders of multiple purchases sent in a single packet. PS: Sifu Li has produced another set of 2 Wing Chun DVDs entitled Bruce Lee’s Mentor Wong Shun-leung: THE KING FIGHTER’S WING CHUN! (2 DVDS), i.e., the 2 DVDs in that set are entirely different from this Book+2 DVD set on this listing. * Books on Pan Nam Wing Chun and Lai Yip-chi’s Wing Chun are available upon request. �� A SPECIAL NOTE ON THE 1996 BEIJING SEMINAR During the seminar, the Beijing practitioners took delight in brashly and brutishly raining their hardest punches and kicks on Sifu Wong who was then 61 years of age! Everyone was dying to be able to claim bragging rights to having struck THE KING FIGHTER, Mentor of Bruce Lee. The disrespect shown by the young brats to an older man was most appalling and repudiable. But THE KING FIGHTER held his ground. His silky Wing Chun skills effortlessly fended off all vicious attacks by the young upstarts. He was untouchable. About three months after the Beijing Seminar, Sifu Wong suffered a str... read more
