I was going to make it a poll. But there are too many choices.
Which is your favorite? Others?

Hehe, well I use sensitivity, structure and precision! I am sensitive to her needs ...
I am so excited about learning wing chun under Carl Dechiara.
If visiting several schools I still see no good wingchun, then what sorts of conclusions can you draw?
WOW! I didnt think I was going to be opening up a hornets nest like this!
Unfortunately I feel that wingchun is on a downward spiral, and though I may not be able to save it, for what can one man really do, I can hopefully open some eyes.
To be honest the majority of my problem is seeing these people out there teaching who shouldnt be.
As for offending someone, its a chance I am willing to take.
Carl never really talks about it, just his own practice with it. that combined with the info I got just made sense and so I didnt think to question it.
Ultimately it is of little importance.
I just see things differently.
He did some hard research into the art and came up with a few warmup excersises that help us to catch on to wing chun faster but nothing is mixed in.
I studied chop saki wingchun for about a year and a half. Then I got hooked up with my school in Minneapolis and met Carl and I have been doing his stuff for about 7-8 months ...

What Carl teaches us coincides with a lot you might learn in taichi at the basic levels, root as a foundation for not only absorbing power but for delivering it.
We could talk about it all day but you wouldn’t really comprehend without feeling it.
How excited do you get and how excited are you to be doing it? Can you feel the growth ...
Some of you have accused me of spamming because I mention him and his skill periodically ...

I am not interested in getting into an argument about what is better, what is spamming, what is right or wrong.
Check your ego at the door and you will learn something!
I have seen a lot of talk on this forum, and several others about what is good, what is bad, what is correct and what is not.
Carl Dechiara seems willing to take the pepsi challenge if you know what I mean?
As for the real deal, I am not worry about what real Yip Man wingchun is.
I will be the first to admit what he has to offer isnt for everyone.
I am also believe it or not, aware of how it affects my "family" ...
I am so excited about learning wing chun under Carl Dechiara.
I may come off as a little coarse sometimes.
Carl really stresses sensitivity in adapting to an attack an dI got the impression you should just feel what is coming and do what is apropriate.
Yuanfen - nope, you just havent been paying real close attention.
Did everyone in the world know of Jesus Christ or Bhuddha when they lived? (In reference to Carl Dechiara)
I have all the respect in the world for guys at that level, whatever they have or do, its much better then what I do, or atleast how I do it, right?
I am not searching to destroy your lineage or defame your instructor and freind, how could I possibly do that?
I am so excited about learning wing chun under Carl Dechiara.
Whether it maters to you or not I am quickly loosing respect and patience for you.
I have nothing but respect for anyone who is doing Wing Chun, no matter what lineage, school, instructor, he/she is learning from.
Sometimes we are fooled by a wolf in sheeps clothing........
Its like a pack of jealous jackals sometimes.
I am sick and tired myself of being attacked by 'battleworn' wc people.
I generally come here to get advice, opinions, and ideas, hopefully they flower and flourish within me.
It seems more like some sort of screwed up intellectual ****ing contest then an informational forum..........
Actually since thinking about it a little, I am going to give respect to anyone whoes post number is higher then mine, because obviously after posting for so long they deserve respect and must know much more about posting then I do.........
You on the other hand are part of the worthless masses on the internet who have finally found a medium in which they can be something they are not.
My friend put up or shut up, Canada is not that far from minneapolis, next time you have the inkling to learn some wing chun why dont you stop by......Better yet, stop by Carl Dechiaras school in Ohio, he would be more then happy to show you what wing chun is and is not.
I am so excited about learning wing chun under Carl Dechiara.
Thats wierd?!
If it gets out of hand then ban it.
I say if you have confidence in your sifu, dont worry about it, anyone who criticizes without experience doesnt have a leg to stand on.
If you continue to talk as time goes on you at some point will talk about who you are. This gives others a base to relate to you from.
