Please answer this, it's really important to me !
Hi,
So as most of you know I'm going to start Wing Chun this summer, but I have a problem now :
I see some guys that teach "Wing Chun" and some that teach "Wing Tzun", and the one near me is Wing Tzun, but tell me, is there any difference between both of em ? Or is it just a different spelling ?
Please tell me, cause I have been reading all about Wing CHun and don't want to learn another style.
THANKS !
Wing Chun is h o l l y
that is correct, I believe they are very similar..
Whether wing chun, ving tsun, wing tzun, etc...as mentioned, the principles are very similar. The key is to find a good school to teach these principles...to me, the spelling of the name of the art wouldn't much matter.
Check out both schools, see which you prefer...IMO, it doesn't matter if it's Wing chun or tzun.
Cheers and good luck!
dai yut tow dai :)
here's a quote from a victor kan:
I am not from Kan Sifu's Lineage but what he says makes sense:
****************
(from Sifu Kan's website originating from Combat)
"COMBAT: Why do we see the variety of spellings in Wing Chun? For example the spelling you use is 'Ving Tsun' or Wing Tsun?
VICTOR KAN: It comes from Hong Kong as originally most of the Sifus at that time could not speak English very well. Therefore, there are differences in pronunciation and spelling according to to each Sifu, though actually it is the same style meaning 'Forever Spring'. "

Don't stress the name, stress the art. Go check out those schools:)
dai yut tow dai :)
