I think Donnie Yen is a magnificent martial artist, and I think he did a good job of cramming his Wing Chun studies to the point where it looks like that's his chosen art. And he looks good in the films. He looks good doing Wing Chun in the clip below, too.
But I'm not sure about the bong sau he throws at 3 seconds:
It's a nice looking bong sau, but I'm not sure it's the best response to his attacker's punch. He's got his right leg forward and he uses his right bong sau to block across himself. It's obvious that he'd already decided to use a bong sau because his left hand is actually up and forward when his attacker punches. He could quite easily have used a tan da (left tan sau, right punch simultaneously) with better results. His right side is exposed and vulnerable. I'd love to have a go laaping that bong sau!
You might say that it's understandable for DY to prepare his move beforehand, given that he's under the pressure of being on stage under those intense lights and with no time to think. However, this is what chi sau trains us for. Cultivating unconscious reaction at lightning speed baby.
Told you leather jackets and martial arts were "in".
