The second DVD in this set also contains both volumes 1 and 2 of the Chum Kiu video series.
This video builds on the two previous volumes, bringing
you into the intermediate level of training. The Chum Kiu set introduces
footwork and movement through body unity, teaching you how to generate power
through all directions - up/down, twisting left/right, and stepping
forward/backward/sideways. It examines the motions and techniques, forms
and body mechanics, attributes, concepts and tactics, and applications
introduced in the Siu Nim Tau set with the added dimension of movement.
The information is presented in several formats throughout the video - solo,
partner demonstration, and application - giving you a chance to see the
simplicity, directness, and efficiency of this Wing Chun lineage.
By having skill in these exercises and drills, the student is training his hands
and body to be on "auto-pilot" - to react spontaneously and correctly to
changing situations. Yip Man once said that if a student, having attained
the skills of Siu Nim Tau and Chum Kiu, ever lost a fight, he would throw
himself off the roof of the Restaurant Workers Union. He never had to make
good on that promise due to the excellent training provided in this lineage
of Wing Chun.
