Wing Chun Close Range Combat by Tony Massengill
If you're looking for a DVD that demonstrates genuine Wing Chun Kung-Fu technique, then this is the video for you. The production is excellent and Sifu Massengill presents the material expertly. In this DVD as in others, Massengill maintains the philosophy that the sport martial art environment is quite different from the street. So attitude and application is indeed quite different in situations from the Koon or School.
One's practice in Kung-fu should not focus on looking flashy or showy, but to get the job done in the quickest manner possible. In fact Wing Chun doesn't appear all that elaborate when compared with other forms of Kung fu, such as Praying Mantis or Hung-Gar. But, don't deceive yourself; Wing Kung is quite elegant in its close range techniques. Sifu Massengill demonstrates effectively the principles of the Wing Chun System showing how one can exploit the situation at point of contact with an adversary.
There's lots of practical advice which is presented in this DVD relevant to the street environment, such as maintaining a stance of non-aggression for legal reasons, but being prepared in case a fight should in sue. One can appreciate Sifu Massengill's emphasis on the basics, which is that power at close range comes from one's structure or root. The old analogy that a house is only as strong as its foundation applies here. Massengill demonstrates the fundamentals of Wing Chun, by showing how the techniques are based on sound biomechanics and are effective according to the natural structure of the body.
Again, if you're looking for a DVD, that truly represents the principles behind close range fighting of the Wing Chun System, then this DVD would be an excellent investment. By watching Sifu Massengill's demonstration of Wing Chun, one would readily see that he comes from a genuine lineage of Wing Chun Kung- fu. He presents his lineage as that from Ip man, Ip man's two sons and Samual Kwok. If Wing Chun lineage is important as far as training and school affiliation, then indeed, this instructional DVD would be a real treat!
