- A short documentary on the history of WingChun, which developed out of shifting notions about "traditional wing chun" into the practical self defense system as demonstrated and explained herein by the Grandmaster, Sifu Klaus Brand, himself. Special thank you to the instructors and students of the International Academy of WingChun - U.S. ("IAW-US") for allowing me to disrupt their classes and seminars to film.

He’s explaining himself quite clearly his reasons for why he changed and modified his former EWTO Wing Tsun training and it doesn’t need questioning. If you like Wing Tsun, Wing Chun, Ving Tsun, then continue doing what you feel is right. His version is called Wingchun.
Really enjoyed this mini documentary. I would definately enjoy hearing more.
What a beautiful video. Gives me hopes of continuing practicing
Thank you for posting. This is helpful.
Great job. Greatings from Sihing Thorsten Germany
Beautiful
Well said
Nice. Looks quick, strong, and powerful while maintaining clean-looking technique.
Fong Song, relaxing or simply letting go of tension in the body is a fundamental principle of wing chun. It aint wing chun if you can't generate force or overcome force with out being in that state. Relaxing does not mean go limp or floppy it's training yourself to let go of tension even when pressure is being applied to you. Expanding the body the limbs by opening the joints(dan hoi) becoming springy to repel force as well drawing your opponent in. Good structure, Straight spine, and utilizing your body mass, never muscle or tension EVER.
it shows a lot of movements of chum kiu and butterfly swords
Hi. As the footage seen on this video seems to show a kind of WT wing Tsun it wonders me a lot that there are some scenes of Wong shun Leung's "science of infighting" because the system of Wong has in my opinion not a lot in common with the style shown in this video. Did you guys split from the Leung ting lineage as it usually happens after to many years spending time with this interpretation of the system ? Greetings
Really cool style. I would love to try.
Klaus Brand trained privately under Leung Ting for 2 years if I rememmber right. I praticed WT for a while at the UK HQ. This was after my original instructor brought in to the whole WT francise . Our Wing chun then became overly technical ,too soft and boring to learn, the culture was cult like.. One of the Head instuctors left with 30 or so students. eventually we became a Klaus Brand school. KB WC was like the old stuff again, much more simple, pratical,and fun to learn and my sparing skills improved instantly.
Favorite ever1
Something "we" don't understand, from a Sifu from the Ted Wong and Jesse Glover lineage:
According to my Sifu that’s a red flag already, if there is no linage and no qualifications that tells you something. I’m not saying that the man is not skills as he knows what he is doing but to claim that relaxation started on the 80’s is just ignorant, hasn’t he ever hear of Leung Jan, Leung Bik, Chan Wah Shun, Yip Man, Leung Sheung, Wong Shun Leung, Lo Man Kam, among many others. I’m pretty sure that all these great masters where relax as feather and strong like a bull, that is the concept of water. Relax does not mean your weak, if you’re relax, you can punch fast, hard, and precise, ill’ tell you what my Sifu told me when I started Wing Chun “this is not Karate realax”.
Just 1 👊🏻 maximum 2👊🏻 ....done ✅ Like that way of WingChun🔥
Wait, why is this guy a Grandmaster? What's his qualifications, and who did he learn under? Or did he just automatically proclaim himself a grandmaster after he started this organisation?
What's the name of the Song playing in the backround??
Really enjoyed this mini-documentary =) I´m not sure, if this would be my way of Wing Chun. But I think I have to learn more then one way, to find my own. I want to practise Wing Chun for a long time now. But I´m living in a city for 5 years now with only one Whing Chun academy. And they want more then 100€ per month. I´m a student and I´m super sad that I can´t pay this much.
