Customer Review:
"Volume 1, is one of three DVD's, featuring Grandmaster Samuel Kwok, demonstrating the art of Wing Chun, according to the principles taught by Ip Man. The first form, Siu Lim Tao, is learned by all beginning students and serves as the foundation for the more advanced postures and hand techniques in this system.
Grandmaster Kwok, gives a thorough demonstration of this first and important form, showing it from an eye-level, frontal and side view format. After he performs the Siu Lim Tao form, he follows up with an instructional break down of each section showing the application of basic techniques and how they are utilized,such as in single hand and double hand Chi Sao.
The general video format of this series, is straight forward and has no fancy scene transitions of fading in and out, nor using camera angles which obscure demonstrated material, but shows clearly how a technique is properly done and gives the appropriate descriptive dialogue in explaining why it's done that way. He not only shows the student how the technique is done correctly, but demonstrates what some teachers of the Wing Chun system do not, and that is what happens, when it's done improperly. This is a crucial pedagogical method in learning and teaching excellent kung Fu.
The Samuel Kwok, series, "Mastering Wing Chun," would be a valuable addition to any DVD collection of this unique and superb martial art. The other two accompanying, volumes of this series in "Mastering Wing Chun", are Chum Kiu and Biu Gee."
Samuel Kwok - Mastering Wing Chun - Ip Man's Kung Fu Vol 2 - Chum Kiu
Chum Kiu is the second form in the Wing Chun Kung Fu system. This form teaches the dynamic application of the techniques learned in Wing Chun's first, form Siu Lim Tao.
While the first form teaches the correct structure of the attacks and defensive movements, it is in Chum Kiu that the student learns to "seek the bridge" and use both hands simultaneously, such as one hand defending while the other attacks. Chum Kiu teaches stepping and footwork, Wing Chun's specialized kicking method and the generation of power through the correct method of using the entire body in stance turning (Yiu Ma).
In this DVD, Grandmaster Kwok also demonstrates and explains in detail the use of Wing Chun's devastating short-range power.

Samuel Kwok - Mastering Wing Chun - Ip Man's Kung Fu Vol 3 - Biu Gee
Biu Gee - the "thrusting fingers" form, also known as "first aid hand" - is the last hand form taught in the Ip Man Wing Chun system. Biu Gee training is one of the keys to learning to focus energy into a strike. Biu Gee also develops devastating striking power by combining focused strikes with the rotational energy developed by correct stance turning (Yiu Ma), as learned in the previous training of the Chum Kiu form.
Another key of Biu Gee training is to train the hands to regain the center if the centerline is lost or unguarded. The Biu Gee form teaches two unique methods of footwork: the use of "two direction energy" and how to control the opponent and effectively use continuous striking movements.
In this DVD, Grandmaster Kwok demonstrates the proper method of training this devastating form. It is the complete training in all three forms that allows the student to correctly apply Wing Chun in Chi Sao, as well as in the wooden dummy training.
