I was really impressed by this DVD and I think it is better than the beginners one by Alan Gibson. I felt I didnt really learn much from Gibson's dvd, although it does explain the basics of why wing chun works. I thought Sifu Goh's dvd was better planned and put together, and easy to understand. Also, I liked the use of mirrors to show different views.
The format of the DVD is such that you can watch it and pracice the things you learn in your own house without needing a partner, which will help to progress when combined with going to a class. The DVD by Sifu Goh starts with basic warming up and conditioning. Then moves into thoroughly explaining the first form, Siu Lim Tao which is the essential basics of wing chun, breaking the form down into sections and explaining the applications. The DVD then does the same with Sifu Goh's arrow form before finishing with some demonstrations and advice on sparring.
In short an excellent dvd,I really recommend it and intend to buy Sifu Goh's intermediate and advanced wing chun dvds when I get through this one.

Austin Goh taught my Dad Wing Chun when I was a baby so he obviously has years and years of experience (I'm nearly 30) and this can be seen in the skill and accuracy he shows when demonstrating the Wing Chun forms in this DVD. I imagine that for someone who knew nothing about Wing Chun at all this would be a good place to start. For me it's ideal because I started doing classes but had to stop when I became a dad in order to save money and spend time with my baby. This DVD is helpful in continuing my training alone until I'm able to resume classes. It's also got me using weights as part of my training routine and I seem to have toned and built muscle on my arms like never before in the past few weeks so I think it must be the combination of weights and Wing Chun.

I bought a dvd on self defense thinking that it would show me the basics of wing chun - it didnt. It did show me methods of defense employable in a street fight situation, which is perfect if thats what your after.
So i searched around for a product that would be a starting point(knowing a few moves already :)) I scoured the net for reviews on a product similar to the aforementioned to no avail.
I found Austin Goh's wing chun dvd and put money on it that maybe it would be useful. I wasn't disappointed. This contains moves,drills and the first form (sil lim tao) broken down into learnable chunks and also contains a mirror section to reduce confusion. Very good at showing the basics; things that can be ingrained and practiced at home.
Nice one Sifu Goh.
Now theres something for others to read....
p.s. Buy yourself a brother to practice with if possible LOL
