Interesting. I'm not wing chun, I'm Tibetan white crane. While the overall choreography of the set is very different, the fundamental techniques that are being repeated are identical to one of our pole sets.Is this representative of Ip Man Pole?

Ok. Then how about Ip Ching's version?
You haven't learned the YM pole?
Yikes!
Do you guys thrust the pole like kwok and the guy in this video??? Makes no sense to me.
Thx for posting this though...didn't know this was Ip Ching pole
How would you thrust the pole? Im just curious because its something iv always wandered about.
rear arm / elbow is out and raised
In the Tang Yik pole, the rear elbow should not be out and raised! It should be tucked into the body so that both shoulders and the pole make one straight line. If the elbow comes up, the rear shoulder comes forward and you break that straight line that provides the best power vector for the thrust. Another mistake often seen is holding the pole with the rear hand palm up during the thrust. This is not a secure grip. If your pole is countered by a strong blow from above, the back of the pole is going to come out of your hand and slam upward into your face! The rear hand should be palm down to prevent this.
Ok....then somebody...anybody....post an Ip Man pole form video that they think is worth watching! ;-)
just found this:
tang yik form(?)
1. Almost everyone is making what is considered a fundamental mistake in Tang Yik pole.....gripping in a palm up position with the rear hand during the thrust. This will get you smacked in the face with your own pole if the opponent defends with a downward blow on your pole!
2. CST himself is making the second mistake I mentioned before....he is letting his rear elbow and therefore also the rear shoulder move forward during the thrust and not keeping a straight line vector with the pole and the shoulders.
3. No lateral footwork (or at least very little) in the Ip Man forms. This is considered very important in Tang Yik pole, and you see lots of it in the form! The Tang Yik pole has a wider range of footwork in general.
4. Obviously much less variety of movement and technique in the Ip Man forms. The Tang Yik version is much more comprehensive as a fighting method.
5. Tang Yik pole mechanics uses the front leg for support, power, and control of the pole. This is how you avoid "muscling" the pole...even one of the long heavy ones. This is how you can move quickly and precisely....your lower body is moving the pole, not your upper body. Watch most of the Ip Man versions for comparison and see how often they look like they are "muscling" the pole around.
6. Very little low-line defense in the Ip Man version. Watch the Tang Yik footage again. If you pay attention you will see a low sweep prior to the half-circle to regain the line at almost every transition. This is called "Po Kwan" and Sifu said it should really be considered another "point" because it is used so often! Then it would be a "7 1/2 point pole form"!
