What move did Dennis do in Ip Man 3 when he choked his brother? At the 4:10 marker.
Answer: I’m not sure myself. (By the way, I like this German language version). It looks more like a Choy Li Fut reverse choke move (when I find the name I’ll add it to this post).
It’s important to mention, in the Ip Man 3 movie, they made it a point that anything can be Wing Chun.
That’s why you see a lot of high kicks and spinning moves (where the Wing Chun practitioner’s back faces the opponent).
Typically, especially where I train, we avoid doing both. The only time a “fancy” move like high kicks or spinning moves that expose your back to the opponent MAY BE acceptable, is if it’s used as a finishing move, and probably only during a friendly sparring match.
Other than that, if you’re fighting for your life, against a sociopath, you don’t mess around.
Stick to the low aimed Wing Chun kicks and don’t spin around and give your opponent a chance to attack you from behind.
In any case, I hope other Wing Chun practitioners and sifus could give us a hand on this one.
Where I train, we do learn chokes, but they’re usually more direct than the one in the video clip.
That being said, almost any attack to the throat works…

The flashy moves (mainly for cinematic awe) are rare in real WCK. WCK is about Simplicity, Practicality, Efficency, Explosiveness/Exploitiveness, and Directness. What I call the SPEED principles/formula.
