A very different 3rd form

[KPM]

I should mention, since it didn't show up on the link, that the video I posted above was touted as the "4th form" of one of the mainland Wing Chun systems.

But several people (including TWC people) agreed that this is just too close to TWC's Chum Kil form. In this age of video it's just too easy for someone to copy something from DVD and claim it as "original."

It has some similarities certainly, but he looks to have mixed other stuff in there as well. I don't really follow how non-TWC lineages do their forms so I'm hardly an authority.

I'm gonna call have to BS on that one. As far as I've ever been able to tell, Yip Man's the one that invented the "punch>tan>roll>pull back" motion, and all legitimate lineages that predate him have some form of snaking or Biu Jee-esque movement in place of that, or they don't have it at all.

KPM, do find value in being a member of that FB forum? I've heard (on the Reddit WC forum) that FB forum is a vile place...no moderation, etc.

You're already missed Henrik's first "goodbye forever" post. Some things never change #dramaQueen.

Not sure what all the noise serves, but this is probably the most 'different' 3rd form I've ever seen!

I don't know anything about the art, but those elbow strikes were terrible. It should kind of happen out in front of you on center line.

Interesting. Do you know the name of this "4th form"?

^^^^^ No. The original poster didn't provide a name.
