This is some rare footage. The late Brandon Lee was on “Sydney Extra”, a show in Australia, to promote the movie Rapid Fire. He apparently gave the interview at Grandmaster Jim Fung’s International Wing Chun Academy.

Ah Brandon, you were taken from this world too early.

Shaolin Vs. Tae Kwon Do

One of the coolest clips I’ve seen is this one of a Shaolin martial artist versus a Tae Kwon Do martial artist.

That Shaolin guy is fast. Yes, they’re just playing tag. Yes, in general, with any martial art, whoever trains better will be the winner. It’s still cool.

Chuck Norris vs. Bruce Lee

In Return Of the Dragon, Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee have a climatic fight in the Colliseum. This is that fight. Enjoy!

An Aikido Demonstration

Ah — this is a good video. It’s a nicely done Aikido demonstration, showing empty hand attacks, jo attacks, knife attacks, and sword attacks.

Real life Tekken

This is too cool — Tekken as done by actual human beings! (From Kotaku).

Even more backyard wing chun

It looks like three more videos have been uploaded to Google Video starring the so-named “Master Ken”. I had previously discovered videos from him in an earlier post. From the looks of it, he’s set up a studio in a garage somewhere, so this may be an up and coming school. (I still don’t know where.)

This video emphasizes use of tan sao and bong sao.

Emphasis on feeling and moving your opponent’s structure is shown here.

Master Ken covers basic information on use of Wing Chun kicks in this video.

It’s very interesting to see this stuff start appearing on Google Video. I’m curious to know a little more about his lineage as well as where he’s located. Anyone have more information?

Backyard Wing Chun?

I was perusing Google Video when I came across a few entries for “backyard wing chun”. What shocked me about these amateur videos is that the guy talking about Wing Chun seems to actually be pretty good. Check out this explanation:

That’s one of the best video explanations for Wing Chun concepts I’ve seen. This next one goes a little more into arm technique:

This last one doesn’t have much interesting information, but does have a few seconds of chi sao movement.

From the notes on the above video, I gather that this is Ken Ng. Does anyone have any more information on him or his school? I’m curious as to what style of Wing Chun he studies.

Jiu-jitsu wrestling video

Here’s an example of why I’m not likely to take jiu-jitsu. These chicks could kick my ass, no doubt, but I’m unlikely to want to practice this over and over again.
