Wing Chun is a Chinese martial art, often referred to as a style of Kung Fu, that has been developed and popularized in the 20th century. Although it's a relatively new style, it does draw from ancient Chinese styles and concepts. If you want to make a Wing Chun training video, remember to emphasize the core elements of Wing Chun and how it's distinguished from other martial arts.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Video camera
  • Tripod
  • A well-lit open space for demonstration
  1. Step 1

    Set up your video camera on a tripod in a well-lit space for filming, making sure that there's plenty of room for you to do your techniques without having the camera obstruct your motion. You may want to have someone else controlling the camera to zoom in for a closer view of hand and foot techniques.

  2. Step 2

    Break your techniques down in to distinct categories for easier instruction. Illustrate basic stances first, then open hand techniques, foot techniques and finally forms. If you want to have a section on weapons, either work weapons in where they're relevant or add a separate category.

  3. Step 3

    Illustrate every Wing Chun technique several times. Show the technique once at full speed explaining its use, then break the technique down into components that you illustrate and explain slowly. Finally, show the technique at full speed again several times so viewers can practice.

  4. Step 4

    Incorporate a discussion of the basic distinguishing factors of Wing Chun, such as speed and sticking hands. Explain why practitioners of Wing Chun do techniques the way they do, rather than the way that other martial arts do them.

  5. Step 5

    Take time to explain to your viewers the importance of the history of Wing Chun. Because Wing Chun is relatively new and the founder of Wing Chun has been deceased for a very short time, many schools emphasize maintaining a closeness between schools and styles, so explain this core value of Wing Chun.
