“The most difficult aspect of Wing Chun is accepting how simple it is”.
Hey Guys,
I have been using Youtube a great deal lately, and as such the recommendations that the YouTube algorithm throws at me daily have included many Wing Chun offerings.
At its heart, Youtube is just a self-promotion/ advertising platform, and as such what is offered frequently exists on very different levels of honesty from our everyday lived experience.
Especially in the realm of Wing Chun.
But we all watch Youtube and it has a disproportionate effect on our views and opinions.
When watching anything on YouTube we should think “Buyer Beware”.
The following Video is more me having a conversation with anyone that is willing to listen than anything else, however, if you can understand what I am talking about it may help your training exponentially
A couple of the things I remember my Sifu saying to me may help you navigate this video.

“There is no reason to pressure ourselves about learning Wing Chun because we already know everything there is”.
Jim Fung
As a Wing Chun practitioner, I get upset when people from other styles bag us out and say we are nothing but con men selling nothing but false hope.
I know first-hand how good Wing Chun’s Fist Logic is, but I also know how much of what is called Wing Chun by the mainstream, is just a diluted and misunderstood version of what we do, designed for no other reason than to protect the rice bowl.
I truly, truly feel for people that spend years upon years looking at their Finger, and missing the Moon.
The really sad thing is that when you point these things out to the finger watchers, they feel that they have too much invested to change.
My Sifu was a very smart man and he was spot on with his observations.
