sifu chung kwok chow wing chun sticky hands practice DVD

this is part of the series he made in the 90s for ESPY-TV. the quality is excellent, and the information contained within will answer pretty much all your questions about sticky hands. the moves he shows are really classic, what i call "old school american" wing chun,ie pre gary lam. sifu chow was one of the early guys teaching wing chun in the states, and his teaching method is very clear.
 there are a lot of extras in this video, making it sort of an all in one wing chun DVD. for one, he shows the whole siu nim tao form in the begining of the video. this is followed by "pre-chi sao" drills, then on to single chi sao, then double chi sao. he also shows some basic entry and trapping near the end, and well as some free style chi sao with his students.
this DVD is all solid information and teaching, and it's a real tresure for the home dojo martial artist. with what you learn from it, you can easily attend a local wing chun seminar within driving distance to help you get the finer points.
a great DVD for your collection.

wing chun: the science of in-fighting

this DVD is a little hokey on music and sound effects, but it actually contains an EXCELLENT rundown of the wing chun system, from siu nim tao to basic fighting, to basic sticky hands. i recommend it to anyone who needs an all in one sort of lesson DVD in wing chun.
 first of all,you're getting the ultimate example of the siu nim tao form from Wong Shun Leung. he then shows you some basic uses of the moves, then onto sticky hands. the sticky hands part is surprisingly accurate for DVDs of this era.
you can't go wrong by having this DVD in your collection. it's great as a first DVD in wing chun, as well as a reference.

sifu chuck wing chun

these DVDs/ download lessons are fantastic. sifu chuck is one of the few who will actually slow things down enough for you to actually learn. he repeats basic points in every section, things that you should always remember as you progress thru the wing chun curriculum.  he is also prompt with repsonses. i was having a slight problem with my download, and he replied and fixed the problem( which was at my end, not his) for me immediately.
 the DVDs run from siu nim tau (the first form), to sui nim tau drills, to chi sao 1, and chi sao 2. i would recommend getting them in that order. he also has chum kui form(2nd form), 2 drills DVDs for that level, and a bui jee (3rd form) DVD, if you want to go that far.
 for the home learner this is really the best thing i've seen so far. i would get the sui nim tau, the sui nim tau drills, and the chi sao 1 and 2.
really a great set for the home learner!

authentic pressure points with master scott rogers

excellent, practical course that ties together kyusho, wing chun, and even kicking and grappling arts. Scott gives you the big picture, basing attacks and their defenses on quadrants and directions, and using a few basic blocks to cover them all.
volumes 4 (moving attacks) and volume 8 (pressure point sticking hands) are my favorites, simply for their practicality, ie many attacks are not static, grabbing attacks. He shows how to incorporate logical blocks and traps into a coherent self defense system.
his teaching is easy to take notes to, and his simple rules like "which hand to use when inside or outside" are very easy to apply.
great set!

Chung Kwok Chow Integrative Wing Chun

This 4 video set is the best yet on wing chun. Sifu Chow takes wing chun to the next level, showing us how to integrate wing chun into MMA. But he's also a deeply knowledgable teacher who understands the relaxed chi gung method of wing chun.

Volume 1, Siu Nim Tau -He has taken a more relaxed approach to the sui nim tau form, something that is good to see. Sifu Chow's wing chun is extremely relaxed, yet flowing with energy. He also shows very creative 2 man exercises for applying the form, which look like a lot of fun, and save time. I learned more from him in a 40 min video than in a year's worth of lessons!

Volume 2, Long Range Entry Moves- Sifu Chow shows us how to bridge the gap using simple kicks and punches to get us in range for sticky hands. He shows us the basic traps needed to take the opponent's position. He also teaches us how to fight a boxer and a thai boxer in a very practical way.

Volume 3, Close Range Sticky Hands- Sifu Chow teaches us the 4 areas of trapping: the wrist, the elbow, the shoulder, and behind the opponent, and how to progressively move up those areas for the takedown. And as always, his 2 man exericses are stellar, new school stuff! Love it!

Volume 4, Takedowns- Sifu Chow has managed to teach a mini book on takedowns here! These are really all you'll ever need. Sifu Chow integrates wing chun and wrestling into a coherent system.

 Best wing chun purchase you'll ever make!

bruce lee's fighting method-self defense techniques

from the 4 book series, bruce lee's fighting method. and in my personal opinion, one of the best self defense books ever written. bruce was all about the most direct approach in fighting, and the techniques he illustrates are the epitomy of practicality and economy. bruce uses his favorite technique, the stomp kick, for many of the defenses, showing how less is really more when you know how to use it.
i could see this book being used for a gym class self defense course. the techniques are easy and effective.
self defense is all about getting away safely. the techniques in this book are maybe some of the best things that bruce lee left for us.

foot throws for karate, judo and self defense

 a well organized book by former US judo champion hayward nishioka. he divides the throws up into their types and the steps for the throws are well illustrated.
i could see this book being used for a backyard judo class with some mats laid out. provided that one knows how to fall (akemi) and the throws aren't done too roughly, it would be a safe activity. this book would also be good for an eclectic martial artist looking to add some basic, practical judo trips to his/her skill set.

balicki/inosanto jun fan gung fu

i'm a believer in getting on with your life- learning simple things in sort of a "put it in your pocket" knowledge sort of way. this DVD is straight to the point and presented in a clear,"western" approach. and being a 2 DVD set, i think it's a good value.
balicki and wife diana inosanto present the material very well. i think this would be perfect for someone wishing to add self-defense practice to their exercise routine.
the movements are real jun fan/JKD. the focus is on entry and trapping, and includes the drills need to develop proficiency.
exercise instructors take notice! this would be a great thing to add to a cardio kickboxing workout!
