The interview
with Grandmaster Yip Man
in the magazine „New Martial Hero“
One of two ever published interviews with the famous kung-fu grandmaster
At that time there was a magazine called “New Martial Hero”. It sold quite well between the very late 60s and early 70s. In the mid 70s, due to various problems, the magazine’s sales declined until it closed down in the early 80s. Read the rest of this entry »

Här mer teori om Wing Chun Kung Fu med Sifu Benny Meng från Wing Chun Museum Arizona. I det här klippet går Sifu Benny Meng igenom teorin om de sex portarna (six gate theory). I Wing Chun Kung Fu delar man in kroppen i sex olika zoner som man sedan lär sig att behärska. Teorin om de sex portarna är gemensamt för de flesta Wing Chun familjerna men hur man använder sig av dem kan sedan skilja. I det här klippet förklarar Sifu Benny Meng om hur han har lärt sig att använda dem ifrån Ip Man Wing Chun familjen.

Här har vi ett klipp där Sifu Benny Meng från Wing Chun Museum förklarar lite om hur Wing Chun fungerar. Informativt och intressant. Han går här igenom hur man som Wing Chun utövare ser på de olika distanserna och varför man prioriterar närstrid.

Flygvärdinnor fick gå kurs
Det gäller att sitta snällt i sätet när du flyger med Hong Kong Airlines.
Flygbolaget utbildar sin personal i kung fu för att hantera fulla.
Hong Kong Airlines personal har utbildats i wing chun, en variant av kampsporten kung fu som är särskilt lämpad för närkamp. Syftet är att lättare kunna hantera fulla passagerare.
För kabinpersonalen, som dagligen har nära kontakt med flygresenärerna, har kursen varit obligatorisk.
Flygbolaget har i snitt tre passagerarincidenter, och man har redan testat hur effektivt kampsport kan vara för att få bukt med problemet.
”God hjälp”
För några veckor sedan använde en anställd ur personalen så kallad “martial arts” under en flygning mellan Peking och Hongkong, skriver World News
– En av passagerarna var illamående, troligen på grund av att han druckit för mycket. Vår flygvärdinna hjälpte honom och upplevde att hennes träning var till god hjälp eftersom personen var ganska tung, säger Eva Chan på Hong Kong Airlines informatonsavdelning.
– Normalt klarar inte en flygvärdinna av att hantera en fet resenär, särskilt om han är full. Men på grund av träningen kunde hon hantera situationen ganska enkelt, säger Eva Chan.
Den nyanställda flygvärdinnan Lumpy Tang, 22, hade inte förväntat sig att kung fu skulle bli en del av hennes arbetsuppgifter.
Förvånade flygvärdinnor
– Vi var förvånade i början men efter ett par lektioner började vi verkligen gilla wing chun, säger Lumpy Tang enligt World News.
– Man kan aldrig förutse vad som händer i kabinen, så wing chun är effektivt eftersom det är så snabbt. Jag känner mig säker eftersom jag kan försvara mig och jag är stolt över att vara en av de första flygvärdinnorna att lära sig wing chun, säger hon.
Wing chun-instruktören Katherine Cheung säger att kampsport är idealiskt för kabinpersonal.
– Det kan praktiseras i små och begränsade utrymmen, så det passar bra inuti flygplan säger Cheung.

Heidi Montag may have had a glamourous life portrayed on the hit reality show “The Hills,” but it seems as if that lifestyle also came with its drawbacks. Apparently, Montag spent millions of dollars on security to protect her wherever she went.
However, now that she’s blown through all her money, she has been working on learning ways to protect herself so she doesn’t have to pay for the body guards anymore. According to Radar Online, she is training to become a black belt in Wing Tsun. She told them, “I am doing this self defense because it gives me inner strength, and I feel safe in my home. It’s a deterrent, but I know I can’t do what the body guards do.”
She added, “It is scary to be out there without protection, people do follow me and you can never be to careful. I’m not ready to go out alone yet…I’m only 5ft 2inches tall and have a small frame so I understand I can’t completely do it alone. Which is why I don’t go out as much anymore. Half the reason I am laying low and staying to myself is because I don’t have that security like I used too, and you never can predict what will happen.”

At Ip Man pre-production press conference held on March 31, it’s announced that Ip Man 2 would commence filming officially in August 2009. Producer Raymond Wong and director Wilson Yip express confidence for the sequel which has a bigger budget – 100m yuan, saying that the sequel will be even more exciting. The sequel is set in 1949, right after Ip Man arrives in Hong Kong and is about how Ip Man introduces and propagates Wing Chun in the region, and taking in a few disciples. So, in terms of timeline, there won’t be Bruce Lee, and they hope that there would be Bruce Lee in Ip Man 3. While the initial plot outlines for both are done, they would not be shooting Ip Man 3, which would involve Bruce Lee, back to back with Ip Man 2 as previously intended, as they haven’t finalised negotiations with Bruce Lee descendants on the rights.
Above all, martial arts choreographer Sammo Hung – the mystery heavyweight actor mentioned before – will be playing a Hung Gar master in the sequel, and will again be going toe to toe – or rather, finger to finger as the case might be – with Donnie Yen since SPL. Sammo Hung says, “As boss didn’t pay me in the first, I wouldn’t appear in front of the screen. This time I’m getting paid, so I’ll be playing a role too.”
Upon his arrival in Hong Kong, Ip Man notices that the martial arts schools there operate like triads rather than true institutions of martial arts. To set things right, he starts his own school that teaches not just martial arts but also the right values. However, Wing Chun, as taught by Yip Man, is being viewed as kungfu meant only for girls, while Sammo Hung’s Hung Gar is being seen as a macho form of boxing, resulting in exchanges, conflicts and rivalry between the two, with major clash between the two screen titans being main highlight of the sequel.
Fan Siu Wong and Lam Ka Tung will continue to reprise their roles in Ip Man 2. Lam Ka Tung’s Li Zhe will be enlisted in the police force once again in Hong Kong while Fan Siu Wong’s Jin Shan Zhao will turn over a new leaf and retire from the martial arts world (or more appropriately brigandage), becoming an ordinary citizen, and making friends with Yip Man.
With his latest 2 films, Painted Skin and Ip Man, ruling the roost at the box office, Donnie Yen, has become a “hot commodity”, and apart from a share of profits, is getting a substantial pay rise from 10m yuan to 15m yuan for Ip Man 2, says, “Ip Man is indeed my landmark production, this is the first time I’m getting nomination for Best Actor award. I’m grateful to the director, for giving me so much room, presenting an unseen side of Donnie Yen, and also broadening my acting career. It’s also very rare for a kungfu film to receive 12 nominations.

It’s rare that a sequel surpasses the original, but a recent casting announcement concerning the follow-up to Ip Man (see Reed’s review here) seems to indicate that director Wilson Yip is gearing up to do just that. Legendary action star Sammo Hung has signed on as Donnie Yen’s opponent in the film, playing a macho master of Hung Gar who takes exception to Ip Man’s introduction of Wing Chun to the streets of Hong Kong, a style dismissed as being too feminine. I’m a great admirer of Sammo Hung, having spent the past few months going over some of his early work, so this is quite possibly the best movie news I’ve heard so far this year.
