I didn't manage to understand as it is Muk Yan Jong's image composition.

The image bestirred me very.

Do please, someone that have expert could elaborate a drawing (at least a draft) of this rare image of Muk Yan Jong of the Red Boat Era Wing Chun?;)

Thankful.

I may have my photos mixed up....but I believe this was proven to be a shot from an old Chinese movie. I remember something being said about this a couple years ago over at the KFO forums.

No this picture is not from a movie you could be thinking of another pic because actually this picture if you care to contact the Ving Tsun Museum as to their knowledge of this picture they can explain the details of the authenticity better than I but anyway, the VTM I believe states they have verified this particular picture as belonging to the Historical Museum in Fatsan as part of their authententic documentation of the Red Boat Opera.

I have no reason to discredit the photo at all.....I just remember a photo which is very similar being shown as a photo from an old movie. If not this one, it is very similar.

Does anyone know who these two practitioners were?

The VTM Visits Futshan and its historical artifacts (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/ezine/article.php?article=291)

John,
There was no mention of who the members in the picture are.

"Located in this park were two historical artifacts pertaining to Ving Tsun history. The first was an historical photo featuring two members of the Red Opera playing a MYJ on a Chinese junk. This photo is part of a two-panel display on the history of Ving Tsun; it is available for view on the Ving Tsun Museum webpage. "

It is possible that this information is now available.

Hi Guys,

This picture is originally from the Futsan Museum as Cang Long stated and these practitioners are over 2 centuries years old. I doubt that we could identify them.

We are so lucky that we still have some historical treasures that priove Wing Chun's orgins (supported by the Chinese Government through the museum)

Hollywood and film makers appropriates everything they can find to make their movies believable. Now a days its hard to tell what is real or not - a good example is the movie "Forest Gump". I can see why we may mistake a real painting from a fake and vise versa.

It would be wonderful if we could find some more original artifacts.

I don't manage to understand as it is the structure of this Wooden Dommy.

Who could do a simple sketch what for I have a better vision of where are the dommy arms and leg, or be, of its structure?

Não consigo entender como é a estrutura deste boneco de madeira.

Quem poderia fazer um desenho simples para que eu tenha uma visão melhor de onde ficam os braços e perna do boneco, ou seja, da sua estrutura?

Wu sau sits on the upper arm, the other hand on the lower arm, and his foot on the leg. If you observe the picture closely you can see that some things have been transposed, including the arms and legs of the dummy. It truly is an old picture that has traded hands/pockets more then a few times. This was a great pose for the newest way to freaze time.:D The picture was taken post 1839 (the first camera).:cool:
