Kicking it old school! Here’s the opening sequence from Wing Chun – The Science of In Fighting, an instructional video that Lawrence wrote and directed in 1982. It features the late Grandmaster Wong Shun Leung, a legendary figure in Wing Chun and the world of martial arts. As one of Yip Man’s top students, he is credited with teaching Wing Chun to Bruce Lee. Wong Shun Leung is known as The King of Hand Talking (Chi Sau – which means trapping hands in Cantonese). Lawrence spent a year with him working on this project, learning the system and bringing it to life on video. Today, you will see the essence of Wing Chun trapping, as learned from Wong Shun Leung, modified and incorporated in our TanDao Animal Combat videos. See if you can find the modified Wing Chun chain punch in our Tiger Combat video.
