This dvd teaches the beginning syllabus for the Wing Chun system in the Lee Shing lineage. The dvd is split into several chapters each describing a different aspect of the Wing Chun style.
The dvd begins with some basic exercises and body conditioning techniques and then shows all the moves needed for the beginning level of Wing Chun. The first form of Wing Chun "Sil Lim Tao" is then demonstrated and shown slowly with instructions to help you learn the form. The applications of this form are then shown to help you understand the purpose of the first form.
The "Arrow Punch" form is then demonstrated at full speed and then slowly with instructions to aid in the learning process. The dvd then shows sparring techniques.
The bonus section contains a mirror image demonstration of the Sil Lim Tao form to again help you to learn the form.
Both of the forms; Sil Lim Tao and the Arrow Punch are demonstrated by Master Goh himself while the rest of the scenes contain some of his students. The instructions are given through a voice over but overall the dvd is easy to follow and of good value.

Hi, nice first review and one close to my heart. As a Wing Chun practitioner myself I understood your review perfectly and would have liked to see a little more info regarding the conent of the DVD, for example do they show you the basic shapes of Wing Chun such as Tan Sau and Bong Sau and a little more info of the lineage... if I was a beginner I would probably like to know more about what Wing Chun is and what makes it different from other Martial Arts, if you add more info I would love to read and re-rate for you, let me know on my guest book if you do. And welcome to Ciao - Debbs :)
