 Not perfect, but really good applications February 18, 2002

I've studied Wing Chun for years, and do agree that this CD strays in some places from the traditional approach. However, I also caution that many Wing Chun practitioners are so tradition / lineage oriented that they miss some really great approaches to the style out of shear ignorance. They think if it is different than they do it, it must be wrong. Well, not necessarily so. As far as this CD goes, it may not be the best instructional tool for a beginner, but I think it should accompany anyone's collection simply because the applications presented for the moves of the Sil Lum Tao form are VERY ADVANCED! You don't often see such advanced applications even in advanced Wing Chun classes, because most people don't know a lot of the ones shown here. Anyway, enough said. I'd buy it if you study or want to study wing Chun.

What can I say...the title says it all!!! I can not believe how horrible this CD is. It is a good idea that goes terribly wrong. The person on this CD appears to have absolutely no concept of wing chun kung fu. Save your money!!!! The only thing I regret is that I can't give it a LOWER rating.

I was appalled at the poor quality and poor instruction on this cd! All it shows is a few different techniques from several angles. Unfortunately the technique execution is horrible and completely goes against most principles of wing chun. The presenter obviously has some backround in shoalin kung fu, but next to none in wing chun. If you want some good instruction, I suggest any video from Emin Boztepe and the American Wing Tsun Organization.

I found both the interface and the content VERY informative and helpful. I have studied Wing Chun under a Master, and found the form work on the CD to be excellent, as well as the applications of the techniques. If you are currently studying, this CD can only be of help. If you have studied in the past, it will serve as an excellent reminder of techniques you might be rusty on, as well as showing a few moves you might not be familiar with. If you are looking for a way to learn about Wing Chun for the first time, this CD will be an excellent introduction and exploration of a wonderful system of martial arts.
