First,
be advised that all of these VCD's are IN

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 scimitar VCD player program. Also playable on
most DVD players. For less than $10.00? Wow! |

VCD#1499 Dragon Boxing: 5 Horses Gallop Back
About an hour, see Main VCD for prices, CHINESE
ONLY
This is NOT a Wing Chun form but it is Dragon style, that boxing created—it is said— by the nun Ng Mui and therefore the precursor to Wing Chun Pai. The body is rounded, the back expanded, the hands short and sweet. Many throwing and grappling moves spice up the strikes. A little more circular that Wing Chun but this is perhaps before the Chinese met Portugese sailors and modified their style. The form is shown on a rooftop in both normal and slow speeds. It is then interspersed with APPLICATIONS of many of the moves. Not a lot of broken down instruction but generally quite clear. |

VCD#1456 Contemporary Southern Boxing
About
an hour,
See Main VCD page for prices, Chinese and ENGLISH
Southern Boxing occupies a strange corner of Contemporary WuShu. In one sense they have recombined what it appears Northern authorities regard as the almost indistinguishable features of Southern Boxing. If you know the history of the last two or three hundred years of China this will be no surprise. In general Southern Kung Fu has been marginalized. So here we have a decently constructed set performed by Guo YuFeng a very dynamic gold medalist competitor with strong arms. Except for the occasional leap in the air, this is pretty much a form structure on Hung Gar and, to our eyes, peppered with Choy Li Fut. Though there is a reductionist attitude to the forms the essence of Southern is so clear and pure that often despite the recombining the spirit of the style is left relatively in tact. One of the advantages of living in the margins. |

VCD#298
Southern Style Southern Fist
About 1 Hour, See Main VCD page for prices,
CHINESE ONLY Demonstrated
by He Hsiong a major proponent of the style.
A
Southern Fist "Nan Chuan" form shown by a "Southern
King" performer. In contemporary WuShu the Southern Fist has
been amalgamated into a generic style: this is one of those forms.
However, since Hung was selected as the base style, there has not
been much loss of meaning or form. This VCD starts with basic Southern
Kung Fu hand positions and stances. No applications but a powerful
and clear form. |
