First,
be advised that all of these VCD's are IN
CHINESE ONLY. In our opinion that doesn't matter much because
the instruction is clear and the quality of photography very good.
But we will not accept returns just because people didn't read... IN CHINESE ONLY. Given that, these
are really tremendous deals for the money. Each of these special
VCD's can be played on a computer for full enjoyment. Made for PC's
they are also Mac compatible by downloading Quicktime (for free)
and any similar VCD player program. Also playable on most DVD players.
For less than $10.00? Wow! |

VCD#740 Basic Routine
About
1 Hour, VCD pricing, Chinese Only
TouTang MuJia. This is a form taught and broken down a piece at a time. Wen Sheng immediately incorporates
internal movement into its regimen. This means there are a lot
of subtle torso motions which might escape many viewers. A surprisingly
strong style with excellent body movement, the kind all too often
left out of contemporary martial studies.

VCD#741
Scraping
Hands
Triple VCDs , VCD pricing, Chinese Only
KaMo Shou. A great two person regimen that will remind some of Sticky
Hands, others of Push Hands and still others of Chin Nah practice.
Teacher Wang here displays a series of two person set ups that can
be used for practice and for application,
of which there are many on this disk. Worth having, especially for
teachers.

Gong
Double VCDs , VCD pricing, Chinese Only
Many,
many standing Chi Kung (QiGong) exercises all with martial flavor.
Very similar at least on the primary level with the Standing Practice
of Yi Quan. Wen Sheng movements are highly consistent. The type
of Chi Kung practiced perfectly dovetails with that demonstrated
in the forms. In many styles this is less perfectly harmonized. Wen Sheng uses moving (Dong) and still (Qing) methods to rectify Zong Qi, or original Qi.

VCD#743
Fundamentals
Triple VCDs , VCD pricing, Chinese Only
The
nice thing about Wen Sheng is that the fundamentals include footwork.
This is important for two reasons. First too many people demonstrate
standing basics with dead or no leg action. Secondly the footwork
of the style is so distinctive that any fundamentals must show the
nature of the leg actions. And this disk does.

Second Path Form
Triple VCDs , VCD pricing, Chinese Only
ErCangJia. A
routine composed of very martial movements which are shown with
applications and breakdowns throughout the course of the
teaching. Wen Sheng demonstrates its peculiar hopping and charging
actions which, when applied, are actually pretty good. This series
gives a better idea than most of how the methods would look when
used in practice.

12 Road Single methods
Four VCDs , VCD pricing, Chinese Only
Er Shi Lu Dan Ceng Kung Fu. We
Sheng is a style that tries to truly blend external and internal.
You can see any of these short groups of movement as one and/or
all of three branches: Chi Kung, exercise or self defense. Teacher
Wang shows them clearly and with many, many applications
from the world of self defense. Like the title of another
of his VCDs, there seems to be an emphasis on "Scraping Hands"
which resemble something like Wing Chun or Xing Yi applications. The 12 methods divide into: 3 palms, 3 hammers, 3 elbows and 3 legs.
Good stuff. Four VCDS.

Battlefield Broadsword

1 Hour, VCD pricing, Chinese Only
A
longish traditional set.The saber usage here is apparent in every
motion. Particular emphasis is shown on Peng energy and Kan, hacking,
motions. Strong, meaningful moves with an authenticity not often
shown nowadays. The practitioner, Wang, considers what he is doing
important and so - therefore - do we. |

Second Road Linked
About

motions. |
VCD#749
Battlefield Sword
About
1 Hour, VCD pricing, Chinese Only
Only
two weapons are represented in this style and each of them is performed
with concentration, seriousness and attention. A sword set that
exhibits a definite style and intent. Movements here are not for
their beauty but for their authenticity. Yet, because of and not
in spite of, that the set is complex, interesting and truthful. |
