Comments on Production:
The presentation style of this video was filmed as most training videos of this genre. Nothing fancy, just enough detail, shown and explanation given for a viewer to recapitulate the movements and applications of the Muk Yan Jong form
Review Comments:
If a practitioner desires to learn the essentials of the Muk Yan Jong form, this video will provide the basics. However, some training videos on the Muk Yan Jong don’t show or explain how power is delivered through structure and movement, Grandmaster Kwok, shows and tells what the critical movements needed for expressing power in the Wing Chun System.
