Weng Chun Longpole Dummy

Inom Kung Fu så har staven oftast en speciell plats i alla utövares hjärtan. Inom de flesta Kung Fu stilar så finns staven representerad. Jag har under min vistelse i Hong Kong sett en mängd olika former från många olika Kung Fu system. Där är många likheter mellan de olika formerna. Lite speciellt är det med Chi Sim Wing Chun eller även kallat Weng Chun. Dessa har även en dummyform för longpole, vilket skapades av deras numera avlidne grandmaster Tang Yik.

Weng Chun Kung Fu

Här ett trevligt klipp med Sifu Sunny Tang där han förevisar några olika versioner av weng chun chi sao. I slutet kommer också lite äldre klipp från numera avlidne stormästaren Tang Yik. Han var känd i Hong Kong som kungen av longpole. Weng Chun likt Wing Tsun härstammar från södra Kina. Kampsport från Södra Kina bygger på det man kallar kort brygga. Likheterna med Wing Tsun är stora och det är för att dessa system i grund och botten kommer från samma källa. Weng Chun introducerades 2009 på Malmö Wing Tsun Skola.

Shaolin Weng Chun Kung Fu

Här ett trevligt Weng Chun kung fu klipp från Tyskland. Denna kung fu stil sägs härstamma från det södra shaolin templet. 2009 introducerades denna stil i Sverige för första gången på Malmö Wing Tsun Skola av den nuvarande stormästaren Andreas Hoffman. Denna kampsport är en nära släkting till Wing Tsun, men är ändå distinkt en annat stil. Dessa två kampsporter har däremot många gemensamma nämnare.

IP MAN tops Hong Kong film awards

Wilson Yip’s IP Man, a biopic based on the life story Bruce Lee’s first martial arts teacher, won best film at the Hong Kong film awards. No luck for Donnie Yen to make it a double for the flick though, as he failed to scoop the best actor accolade. That honour went to Nick Cheung for his performance in Dante Lam’s gritty action cop drama ‘The beast stalker.’ Perhaps the Don-meister will have better luck next time around. “Ip Man 2” is already scheduled to start production in June, with principal photography expected to last until October. IP2 will continue the story of martial- arts expert Ip Man’s escape from Japanese occupied China into Hong Kong. Director Wilson Yip and Yen are both back on board and the pic is aiming for a release towards the end of 2010. Full winners list below:

Introduction of Weng Chun in Sweden part 2

Sifu Andreas and Sije Maria at Malmoe Wing Tsun School

Among the many things our Grandmaster taught us was the explanation of heaven, man and earth as concepts for distance and height and also the meaning of connecting the parts of your body but also the separation (The Rocket), a precondition for Weng Chun. The more advanced practitioners where allowed to let off steam while doing “Dim-Chi-Sao” which my partner Sifu Henrik from Copenhagen and I did enthusiastically. At the end of the first day every one had his head full of ideas and exercices and got home with a lot of inspiration. The long break in the afternoon and our dinner at the restaurant gave opportunity to many exchanges of ideas about martial arts and we could all get to know each other more. I got a feeling that the people from Malmö were quiet open minded and interested in new things. I stayed in a wonderful youth hostel for the night.Sunday

23.11.2008

On the next morning I headed to the Wing Chun school together with Sifu Jonas Evertsson who lives close to the youth hostel. The beautiful morning an the fresh air immediately rose our desire for training. We used the short walk to the school to exchange ideas about martial arts and arrived at our destination just before the beginning of the seminar.

The program was marvelous again. Sigung talked about circling movements in fights. It was wonderful that again one exercice flowed into another. You could really get a feeling of Lau if your partner was up to the task. I was very happy with the quality of training my partner, a student from Malmö, allowed for. The energy he used when exercising was just right and it was a pleasure to flow from one exercise into another. More and more I got the impression that the trainig culture in the school of our hosts enabled them to have a very instructive training in a relaxed atmosphere. Again and again Sigung compared our daily life and the situation a fighter finds himself in. Unbalance between the external speed of the world and our internal speed leads to stress and a lot of pressure and deprives us of our power. A good fighter always imposes his rhythm on his opponent.

Introduction of Weng Chun in Sweden part 1

Sije Maria, Sifu Andreas, and Sifu Henrik

Saturday 22.11.2008

After a quite uncomfortable night we drove to Malmö which is only about 40 minutes away from Copenhagen by car. We were all pretty curious about how the Wing Chun people whould react to a very different and new martial art. At first sight the school made a really pleasant impression and all the people in the kitchen talking and drinking tee spread an easy and friendly atmosphere. It was very pleasing to see so many people from Weng Chun schools in Denmark and England that had come to support Sigung with his very first seminar held in Sveden.

After Sifu Henrik from Sweden had welcomed Sigung, and all of us, Sigung startet the seminar with an explenation about the common or similar things, in our styles, that you can find throughout our history, the philosophy and our movements. He mentioned places that hat been of great importance to both styles for example the red boat or Fatshan. We started the pratical part of the seminar with the first section of Sap Yat Kuen which Sigung used to explain differences in the styles. He mentioned the dragon riding stance, the hole body movement with a special use of our hip that allows for Lau and Ying and Yang to be expressed. Sigung also talked about our different fighting stances and their meaning as well as our footwork.

As soon as we had finished with this part we started with one hand Chi Sao. Sigung animated our new friends to use all the space available in the training room to try “pushing and pulling” while using big steps in order to get a better feeling of “Lau”. Sigung complemented our new friends from Sweden on their quiet noticable ease with which they realized the exercices shown to them. Many of the Wing Chun people from Malmö also train Bagua, Xinyi Liuhe Quan and Tai Chi Chuan which explains their abilities in flowing.
