Ip Man's Wing Chun





Adapted from the life story of Ip Man,the grand master of the Wing Chun style of kung fu and sifu of legendary kung fu superstar Bruce Lee.Ip's persistent devotion to Wing Chun is a classic example of the love and respect shown to wushu and the freedom and spirit it represents.The 108 minutes duration of this movie was filled with action-packed adrenaline rush.Of course,there are also a few humorous jokes brought in.The storyline was splendid,showing the World War II era and the glory of both China and Wing Chun.
The movie was directed by Wilson Yip and Sammo Hung(action director).Meanwhile,lead actor Donnie Yen really acted well as Ip Man and the fighting scenes were superb.
Overall i would give 4.5 popcorns up.Catch it at your nearby theaters now !

Self defence against takedowns and side punches

How would you react when the assailant is applying a takedown?
Here are 2 methods of self defence against it.


The first method would be a headpress whereby you control and push the assailant's head downwards when he is charging towards you.
Firstly,you would have to take control of his head by simply grabbing his neck ,move backwards or lower your stance if he is trying to grab your leg or torso.
Next,follow the flow and direction of his charge and pin him down.


The second method would be a reverse neck hold whereby you grab hold of the assailant's head and arm and apply a submission.

What if your reaction is slow and the assailant pin you down sideways and start striking aggressively?This video will show you how to apply an armbar immediately when you left in such vulnerable position.
