Wing Chun Weapons Butterfly Knives and Long Pole by Tony Massengill
The principle weapons associated with Wing Chun were not only a means for defense in ancient China used by the Shaolin monks, but are utilized today to provide further development in one's skill in the techniques of the Wing Chun Kung fu system. Instruction in this DVD begins with the Long Pole or what is known as the 6.5 point pole or staff, which refers to seven movements in the application of the pole. The seven movements are linked with six attack and defense techniques and one movement associated with attack only. Master Massengill provides the learner with the reasoning behind the correct position of the hands in holding the pole and the basic sequence used for development, but also warns the practitioner in its improper use or training which could lead to severe injury of the joints.
The actual movements of the pole form do not look all that impressive, but their benefit in ones training soundly contributes to one's stance development and projection of power. One can easily experience in the practice of the pole form and through its applications how centerline theory applies to the Wing Chun system of martial art techniques.
Perhaps, the weapon that is best known and is attributed to the Wing Chun system are the Butterfly Knifes. They are unique in terms of their design, but also in the performance of the form which incorporates all the movements of Wing Chun's three forms which are Siu LimTao, Chum Kiu and Bil Jee.
The Butterfly Knife form has eight angles of attack, while utilizing the basic stance of Siu Lim Tao, the rotating postures of Chum Kiu and the stepping pattern associated with Bil Jee. Practicing the Butterfly Knife form will definitely improve as well as reinforce your technique and skill in applying Wing Chun. If you want to learn the basics associated with these two weapons, then this DVD will provide you with the theory, basic exercises and applications of each weapon's use. The series of DVDs produced by EM3 Video of Master Tony Massengill are excellent instructional media in sound and video quality. The purchase of these DVD's would enhance any ones collection and would be a wise investment for instructional material of the Wing Chun system.
