If you haven’t read my previous posts
regarding the Obasi, Williams and Boztepe Sage, please do so now before going
any further.
You can find the article here.
Quick recap
Sean Obasi (wing chun man aspiring to
conquer the MMA circuit) does a challenge chi-sao match with various wing chun
experts with surprising results:
Obasi vs. Williams – winner: Obasi
Obasi vs. Ng (Obasi’s teacher) – winner:
Obasi
Obasi vs. Boztepe – winner: Boztepe
And now, the plot takes an interesting
twist…
Williams vs. Ng – winner: You'll have to check out the video
Randy Williams obviously has something to
prove here and you can see this in his energy. The hits are harder than what
we’re used to seeing in chi-sao clips. Albeit, the wing chun here is absolutely
horrendous. I’m allowed to say this because these guys are supposedly masters
in their art and this is anything but masterful.
Side note: although I guess it shouldn’t
matter – there’s just something wrong about seeing Philip Ng, old Chinese man, get hit
by the younger, more athletic Williams.
If this is what master wing chun looks
like, what is wing chun for the rest of us supposed to look like?
This is absolutely embarrassing to wing
chun practitioners and again I’m not surprised when other arts simply laugh at
wing chun. If anyone from Randy Williams or Ng’s camp is reading this, please
let me know your thoughts!
If I can make a special request – I would
love to see a Pacquiao vs. Williams clip next though. Ha, just kidding..or am
I?
Kernspecht and Williams, now that’d be
interesting too.
Until then.

Williams is 3 years older than Ng
I don't know why this keeps getting re-hashed. GM Williams was misled into the room where Ng was teaching and then put on the spot. He was invited to see and meet him and was basically put on the spot to have a match. Obasi approached him the next day and at this point they were close friends. He took advantage of that and asked for a friendly chi sau. You are only seeing part of the video. To much hate being spread and cleary this is Obasi's attempt to make a name for himself on the backs of people who have already contributed more to the art than most.
