This DVD is crucial for Wong Shun Leung lineage Wing Chun practitioners, as the late master never documented this form for the public.
Sifu Lam worked with Wong Shun Leung for 21 years.
The first two styles of Wing Chun deal with the vast majority of fighting scenarios.
However, “Biu Jee” is used when something has gone wrong, such as a fighter error, a lost position, or an injured limb.
“I hope you never have to use this,” Wong Shun Leung regularly said. Because employing Biu Jee does not ensure victory; in fact, one may escape the battle with catastrophic injuries.
Fighting is not perfect, and because difficulties can emerge, Biu Jee was developed to deal with these less-than-ideal scenarios.
“Sil Lim Tau,” the original form of Wing Chun, outlines the core methods of Wing Chun.
The second form, “Cham Kiu,” expands on the first form’s themes by include shifting, stepping, striking moving targets, recuperation, and “Chi Sau” unique techniques.
The first two forms of Wing Chun are sufficient for the majority of fighting scenarios.
But what if the Wing Chun fighter makes a mistake, is overpowering, falls, confronts several opponents, or has a limb injured or broken? This is the domain of Wing Chun’s third form, “Biu Jee.” The first two forms of Wing Chun handle the bulk of combat circumstances, but “Biu Jee” is utilized when anything goes wrong, whether due to a fighter error, a lost position, or an injured limb.
“I hope you never have to use this,” Wong Shun Leung regularly said. Because employing Biu Jee does not ensure victory; in fact, one may escape the battle with catastrophic injuries.
Fighting is not perfect, and because difficulties can emerge, Biu Jee was developed to deal with these less-than-ideal scenarios.
Sifu Lam emphasizes crucial elements about each technique within the form that a learner may misconstrue, misinterpret, or misapply.
The “Biu Jee” form is not merely shown, followed by the numerous techniques with an opponent.
Rather, the features of the form are fleshed out, completely explored, and emphasized.
The years Sifu Lam spent with Wong Shun Leung were clearly well spent.
“Biu Jee” is one-of-a-kind.
The form “Biu Jee” is not divided into pieces as cleanly as the first two open-hand forms or even the “Mook Yan Jong” form.
Biu Jee methods are similar to a collection of techniques.
“Biu Jee” violates all of Wing Chun’s regulations, including center line theory, not grasping, and facing.
Wong Shun Leung deemed the shape incomplete or, more accurately, open to the incorporation of new approaches in the future.
This DVD features Wong Shun Leung’s rendition of the “Biu Jee.”
Sifu Lam takes pains to clarify why “Biu Jee” is known as the “Emergency Form.” When one’s arms have gotten caught and “Sil Lim Tau” or “Cham Kiu” methods cannot be used owing to an injured leg or arm, when facing several opponents, or even when one’s arms have become imprisoned and “Sil Lim Tau” or “Cham Kiu” techniques cannot be used.
Sifu Lam also addresses the prevalent misconceptions about “Biu Jee” as being lethal and important point hitting.
Unquestionably, once the “Biu Je” level is attained, the Wing Chun student has reached a high degree of combat, yet it is far better to avoid situations that demand or compel the usage of “Biu Jee” methods, as Sifu Lam emphasizes frequently.
Before beginning Biu Jee, both “Sil Lim Tau” and “Cham Kiu” must be mastered.
This final statement cannot be emphasized enough.
The theory, principles, and procedures of the two forms must be thoroughly comprehended.
Remember that Biu Jee challenges the core concepts and philosophies of Wing Chun.
This might cause confusion for the pupil if he or she is not adequately educated in both “Sil Lim Tau” and “Cham Kiu.”
Yip Man directly taught only a few people Biu Jee, the only Wing Chun form.
Wong Shun Leung learnt the technique straight from Yip Man and then began to alter it after multiple challenge battles, one of which was Chuen San, which was noticeably different from Yip Man’s Chuen San.
Sifu Lam then adds extra material in the form of Fung Hao, Closing, and Pak Sau once the form has been demonstrated completely.
There are 12 variants in the Pak Sau subsection.
Sifu Lam vividly illustrates the potential speed of Wing Chun hand techniques in this session.
In reality According to Sifu Lam, the faster the assault, the faster one can reply.
Before thinking about speed, one must obviously have strong form and structure.
Speed is meaningless without proper form and skill.
The form demonstrates Wong Shun Leung’s expertise with challenge bouts (Beimo).
For example, Sifu Lam says that Biu Sau inside “Biu Jee” is underhand, but it is not employed with a body shift, as some people believe.
Biu Sau is a breaking motion in Biu Jee, not an assault.
The shape itself is seen several times and from various perspectives.
Sifu Lam not only demonstrates the technique, but he also included Fung Hao and closing, which includes take downs and the Pak Sau 12 hands.
Sifu Lam displays the form several times, not for show, but for explanation.
The Cantonese titles of the techniques are subtitled in the final presentation.
