I was there at the event, saw your wing chun school and said hi to them. Was psyched to see a wing chun school representing in sanda. I saw most of his last fight, your guy did real well, congrats.

I did 4 years of wing chun and fought under san shou rules a couple of times for my wing chun gym before i started concentrating on pure sanda.

Best of luck with your training and future competitions, looks like youre at a good gym with some talented guys.
