Review: IWCMAA Ip Man Wing Chun Series: Bil Gee
By: Todd Taganashi

DVD Bought on: Everything Wing Chun : http://www.everythingwingchun.com/sam-chan-wing-chun-dvds-books-s/40.htm
This DVD is also on Everything Wing Chun Instant Access

Quick Review:

“Great Grandmaster Ip Man had a saying “Bil Gee does not go out the door” meaning that he only taught this form to his advanced “Closed Door” disciples. Well, the secret is out, and Sifu Sam Chan has shed new light on this high level of Wing Chun training. Sifu Chan pulled no punches with this production and describes in detail all of the most advanced fighting techniques, theories, and concepts of the Wing Chun system. And once again (as usual) Sifu Chan has crammed more info into one DVD than it would seem possible. I personally liked the Chi Sau drills and Bil Gee applications the most. Each drill is demonstrated slowly and with control so that you can actually see the movements and learn them. The Sheung Chi Sau demonstration that he does at the end is also top notch and really shows his high level of skill in the art. All around I would say this is my favorite of the IWCMAA series.”
