  • Oh this is great! Learning a lot about Wing Chun because we get this sifu’s personal experience. I love CMA, since I started with shaolin wushu before going into Goju Ryu karate and now doing Bajiquan. I get to learn so much from all around
  • @Docinaplane
    What a great man!! Much respect! My teacher also trained in San Jose. But he was with Kang Duk Won / Kyokushin/ Tracy's Kenpo. The San Jose area was an amazing martial arts community then.

    You've done it again, Dan! I love Wing Chun. I have incorporated some of its concepts in my own training.
  • @sthelenskungfu
    I love these interviews! I love that you're branching out to more styles, too.
  • Ben Der is great. Never met him or touched hands, but seen videos and heard stories. I have touched hands with Kenneth Cheung several times. Both these guys are great and know thier stuff and are willing to share.. They are the real dealfor some traditional Wing Chun as taught by Leung SheungπŸ‘
  • @panaxg
    Thank you for posting this interview. I am a student of Wing Chun in this lineage.

    Awesome interview Dan Sensei! Sufi Bed Dur has a really interesting origin! I love the story about his travels from San Francisco to Tampa in 1961. I thought Tampa was a quiet City in 1993! 🀣 Sufi is in great shape for a young 81, sharp as a razor! Really cool interview! πŸ™πŸ‘Osu!

    Great interview, wonderful man! I am 4th Kyu Shitō-Ryū Karate student and former student and Yellow sash in William Cheung lineage Wing Chun, I find that if students leave their stigma at home and drop the ego, one can really learn so much from any system, if approached with an open mind.
  • I am grateful for this interview. I am grateful for this channel. This made the start of my day awesome. Thank You

    First off, I really appreciate some shine on Wing Chun that isn't hostile or degrading. Dude you fill a much needed Niche in the martial arts community, being acknowledgment of these arts and perspectives from those built the bridge that allows us to enjoy these systems. His story on Ip Man brought back some memories. I had an experience were I tried to learn at a Jow Ga school and the teacher convinced me to join.... Then pawned me off on one of his students. He wasn't very personable and I felt strange asking him anything. I left and joined a Baguazhang school with a teacher that was far more gregarious and engaging. Different strokes and all that
  • Another great bit of information. I have wanted to learn wing chun for a for a while now, but there are no local schools for me right now. However, I love the 5 elements concept, it makes a great amount of sense. I also agree with his statement about his kids' learning, I too do not give my children a choice in learning the martial arts, once they get to black(not jr, but adult) then I will allow them to stop if they want. But they need to at least get the start.

    Great interview! My favorite comment was when Sifu Ben Der said to 'research your teacher & observe a class'.
