I am going to check out this school Friday. It is said this instructor was a direct student of Leung Ting. Do any of the WC experts on this forum have any info on this school? Or any other Wing Chun school in Austin, TX?

Thanks in advance,
Jon

I train under Emin Boztepe, former head of North America for Leung Ting prior to an ugly organizational split, and know a good bit about Jeff from various of his sihing, sidai, and students.

I know a number of people who've trained extensively with Jeff are on this board, and hopefully they will give you some more candid comments.

Robert Puig <http://www.awtk.us/> runs an EBMAS group in Austin. By all accounts Robert runs a friendly, hard-working group with little ego and no mind games, and is an excellent instructor with, if I remember correctly, teaching experience back to the early 90s.

I would love to check him out, but my work schedule conflicts with his class times. He only teaches twice per week. Thanks though, anyone else?
