45 minutes

The first tape in the second series of Wing Chun tapes produced in
association with the Ving Tsun Museum, this historical tape contains the
first video material ever available to the public on the Chi Sim Weng Chun
kung fu system. It features demonstration of the set by Grand Master and
successor to the style, Andreas Hoffmann, as well as applications for the
movements. Curator Benny Meng of the Ving Tsun Museum also discusses the
historical background of Chi Sim Weng Chun Kuen and its relationship to
other Wing Chun branches.

This tape contains the set called Saam Baai Fut - meaning Three Bows to
Buddha. This is the heart of Chi Sim Weng Chun. In this set, the student
learns to multiply energy through the waist as in bowing. Every technique in
Weng Chun has a special bow to add power and structure. When the skill of
Saam Baai Fut is mastered, a practitioner can rob the energy of an
experienced opponent, or even prevent it from arising at all. This set also
introduces the concept of thinking vertically as well horizontally and
laterally through bowing to Heaven (high), Human (middle), and Earth (low).
Its focus is to expand the ability of the Weng Chun Kuen practitioner to
cover all of space and time. This set is called Saam Baai Fut because the
student bows once for the Dharma (teaching), once for fellow students, and
once to the Buddha nature within.

This Saam Baai Fut videotape is made in recognition of, and in honor to,
Grand Master Wai Yan for his dedication to the development of Chi Sim Weng
Chun kung fu.
