01. Thirteen Post Hands
This is the Hung version of Wing Chun as a Guang Zhou style. This is Hei Ban’s (Liang Zan's) Wing Chun and here Lin demonstrates not a form but the major strikes, stances and movements of his "Hard" style of Wing Chun. Most of the applications are the same but the actions definitely have a “Hung” flavor and favor power a bit more and a wider and more circular interpretation. Worth the look for enthusiasts. Instructor Lin Xin is a student of Deng Jin Tao. He has studied Hung Gar, Wing Chun, Xia Men (Tibetan Kung Fu) and Yang Tai Chi.
(approx. 55 mins)
02. Siu Nian Tou
This is the first form of Wing Chun, Xiao Lian Tou. If you are unaware of it, there is a definite connection between Hung Gar and Wing Chun and this version, shown by, is a perfect example of the hybrid which sometimes occurs. Most of the movements would be familiar to anyone doing the style but there is a greater emphasis on power issuance, and somewhat rounder arm motion as in the Hung style. Lam himself is very specific. The only problem is that, though he goes into a lot of details about the technique, he doesn’t shown anything with a partner. Instructor Lin Xin is a student of Deng Jin Tao. He has studied Hung Gar, Wing Chun, Xia Men (Tibetan Kung Fu) and Yang Tai Chi.

03. Upper Arm/Firm Bridge
Clear instruction is the presentation style of this “harder” version of the Bridge Seeking form.
This form is translated as “Upper Arm,” which I take to mean a deeper penetration with relatively fixed upper arm movements and stable forearms. Some specific principles are given such as Chicken Wing Elbow placement, Butterfly Hands, Suppressing, ZiWu punching and such.
This is the “firm” school of Wing Chun, which also has family ties to Hung Gar. The section on hand usage, though done without a partner, is good and presents different movements along with different titles. The only thing lacking here is additional partner work. The skills emphasized here belong to the general idea of "folding," where the hand and the forearm play off "information" from the opponent's movements. In this style "listening" is controlling.
(approx. 52 mins)
04. Zhang Tze (2 DVDs)
This is the fourth form in the so-called Ying Wing Chun (Hard style). The emphasis of this form is elbows and fingers. An advanced form this one develops skills with both hands simultaneously and Long combined with Short actions. Lin Xin gives a demonstration and instruction in a Ying style Wing Chun form that is essentially Bil Ji only with equal emphasis on the elbows as the fingers. He gives a good deal of instruction to accompany the form shown by he and his student. There might be some trouble with accessing the subtitles in English. Not the common branch of Wing Chun. Lin Xin was also a Hung student of master Deng Jin Tao.
