Alan Orr - DVD 3: Wing Chun Body Structure Sparring: Intermediate I

For the past 20 years I have been obsessed with Wing Chun, and part of this obsession has been reading every book and watching every video on the market. While most videos tend to present the same information on wing chun--forms, applications, chi sao, mook jong--and for good reason, there is little that differentiates them. However, my thirst for "something different" in Wing Chun videos/books was quenched after viewing Alan Orr's video series on Wing Chun Body Structure. Unlike other tapes on the market it presents a deeper level of wing chun knowledge, that being proper body structure and internal energies applied to basic and advanced movements. Alan Orr is a skillful Wing Chun Sifu and mindful teacher whose own teacher, Robert Chu Sifu, should be proud of. And the rest of us can merely be grateful for tapes of this quality and material to be made available for public consumption."
Guro Mark Wiley renowned writer and Master of the Filipino Martial Arts

"These tapes are great. They have really given me deep understanding of how Wing Chun is supposed to work, and how you're supposed to apply it to utilize it to fullness. The Chu Sau Lei methods are the most complete I've ever seen in terms of body structure (which is what these tapes are mainly about). The first tape covers the basics and then the rest keeps adding new ideas and applications. They're made up so you don't just get a bunch of techniques, but you get ideas and concepts from which you can create endless applications. Every tape gives you new "layers" of information that merges with what you have already got. I care about my Wing Chun, and this has helped me immensely, and I'm sure it can for other people as well. But maybe you don't care...?"

Warning: These videos could change the way you view and practice Wing Chun.
I heard about Alan Orr Sifu and his teacher Robert Chu Sifu through the prevalent martial art media of the United Kingdom and the United States. I sought out further information about their methods through the internet and was delighted to find that Alan Orr Sifu had produced a set of videos concerning the applied basics of the Chu Lei Sau Wing Chun system. I jumped at the chance and, believe me, I’m very glad I did. Although I have yet to see the whole series, the tapes I have so far watched have opened my eyes to aspects of Wing Chun I have never learnt through any other source. The tapes have been packed full of information on Chu Lei Sau’s practical approach to structure and the development and use of sensitivity and power within the framework of Wing Chun. Yet knowing that information is not enough Alan Orr Sifu brings with it an array of drills and tests that allow the information to seep into your martial art practice and become truly yours. I’m really looking forward to the adventure the other tapes in the series will bring. My only sorrow is, that I don’t live in the producer’s, or his teacher’s country.

At last, a wing chun tape that doesn't patronize the viewer with mysticism or bulls*t, the explanations alan gives on the tape are clear and concise and the drills are very easy to follow. Most importantly, the tape also makes wing chun look like a viable fighting system and the information and drills contained in this series will ,im sure, enhance the skills of any wing chun practitioner looking to improve their fighting skills and understanding of the art. I look forward to viewing the rest of the tapes in the series.

I would just like to say that the tapes I have watched so far have been excellent and brought new insights and ideas into every aspect of my wing chun training, the concepts are explained in a simple and easy to understand way. I would certainly recommend these tapes to any student of martial arts who wishes to improve their knowledge.

Forget what style or lineage you train, these videos contain tools to help every martial arts student excel in their understanding of body structure and making it work. The videos are clear and to the point and deliver excellent information. Without a doubt some of the best quality video production and well organized curriculum I have seen in a martial arts video series in a long time. By far the best Wing Chun Video series available today.
David McKinnon, San Diego California

I loved the videos .... I have heard some chatter that Wing Chun is only good in theory only or that Wing Chun has "nonexistent footwork". These beefs are true to some extant the way some practice Wing Chun, But the videos remedy that. I just wanted to add that I am a twenty year Wing Chun practitioner through four different lineages but have never had it put so functional as in your videos.
Jim Hewitt, Lake Taheo USA

I would just like to say thank you for producing such a fantastic and inspiring video series. After having had an operation and with the prospect of being laid up for two months my girl-friend bought me your Body Structure Sparring video series to keep me occupied. It was excellent! It answered questions I've had for ages! Questions that teachers refuse to discuss! Thank You.
