For the past
20 years I have been obsessed with Wing Chun, and part of this obsession has
been reading every book and watching every video on the market. While most
videos tend to present the same information on wing chun--forms, applications,
chi sao, mook jong--and for good reason, there is little that differentiates
them. However, my thirst for "something different" in Wing Chun
videos/books was quenched after viewing Alan Orr's video series on Wing Chun
Body Structure. Unlike other tapes on the market it presents a deeper level
of wing chun knowledge, that being proper body structure and internal energies
applied to basic and advanced movements. Alan Orr is a skillful Wing Chun
Sifu and mindful teacher whose own teacher, Robert Chu Sifu, should be proud
of. And the rest of us can merely be grateful for tapes of this quality and
material to be made available for public consumption."

"These tapes are great. They have really given me deep understanding
of how Wing Chun is supposed to work, and how you're supposed to apply it
to utilize it to fullness. The Chu Sau Lei methods are the most complete I've
ever seen in terms of body structure (which is what these tapes are mainly
about). The first tape covers the basics and then the rest keeps adding new
ideas and applications.They're made up so you don't just get a bunch of techniques,
but you get ideas and concepts from which you can create endless applications.
Every tape gives you new "layers" of information that merges with
what you have already got. I care about my Wing Chun, and this has helped
me immensely, and I'm sure it can for other people as well. But maybe you
don't care...?"

I heard about Alan Orr Sifu and his teacher Robert Chu Sifu through the prevalent
martial art media of the United Kingdom and the United States. I sought out
further information about their methods through the internet and was delighted
to find that Alan Orr Sifu had produced a set of videos concerning the applied
basics of the Chu Lei Sau Wing Chun system. I jumped at the chance and, believe
me, Im very glad I did. Although I have yet to see the whole series,
the tapes I have so far watched have opened my eyes to aspects of Wing Chun
I have never learnt through any other source. The tapes have been packed full
of information on Chu Lei Saus practical approach to structure and the
development and use of sensitivity and power within the framework of Wing
Chun. Yet knowing that information is not enough Alan Orr Sifu brings with
it an array of drills and tests that allow the information to seep into your
martial art practice and become truly yours. Im really looking forward
to the adventure the other tapes in the series will bring. My only sorrow
is, that I dont live in the producers, or his teachers country.

At last, a wing
chun tape that doesnt patronize the viewer with mysticism or bulls*t, the
explanations alan gives on the tape are clear and concise and the drills are
very easy to follow. Most importantly, the tape also makes wing chun look
like a viable fighting system and the information and drills contained in
this series will ,im sure, enhance the skills of any wing chun practitioner
looking to improve their fighting skills and understanding of the art. I look
forward to viewing the rest of the tapes in the series.

I would just
like to say that the tapes I have watched so far have been excellent and brought
new insights and ideas into every aspect of my wing chun training, the concepts
are explained in a simple and easy to understand way. I would certainly recomend
these tapes to any student of martial arts who wishes to improve their knowlage.

Forget what style or lineage you train, these videos contain tools to
help every martial arts student excel in their understanding of body structure
and making it work. The videos are clear and to the point and deliver excellent
information. Without a doubt some of the best quality video production and
well organized curriculum I have seen in a martial arts video series in a
long time. By far the best Wing Chun Video series available today.
David McKinnon, San Diego California
I loved the videos .... I have heard some chatter that Wing Chun is only
good in theory only or that Wing Chun has "nonexistent footwork".
These beefs are true to some extant the way some practice Wing Chun, But the
videos remedy that. I just wanted to add that I am a twenty year Wing Chun
practitioner through four different lineages but have never had it put so
functional as in your videos.

I would
just like to say thank you for producing such a fantastic and inspiring video
series.After having had an operation and with the prospect of being layed
up for two months my girl-friend bought me your Body Structure Sparring video
series to keep me occupied. It was excellent! It anwsered questions I've had
for ages! Questions that teachers refuse to discuss! Thank You.
