Wing chun spread wide and far and very uneven, only a few got the real deal from yip man, the inference here is of course, (buy whomever is saying it be it Joy or Kevin or spenser ir any number of other people) that my teacher did get the real wing chun yours didn’t so it doesn’t matter how long you trained and with whom because you dont get it
(this kind of talk by Kevin is the thing that drew me to this wing chun forum and made me post in the first place lol so blame him)
The funny thing is everyone who says this seems to have found the real deal in terms of teachers: amazing that so few actually got yip mans skills yet so many seem to have been trained by those few
Having said that I’d like to apologise to Joy, whatever I feel about his writing style he is entitled to his opinion and its his style we are talking about not mine so sniping is uncalled for. Sorry Joy
But it still comes down to this, there are no clips from anyone showing their version of special wing chun in action against a real opponent, we get demos like at the martial arts expo Spencer went to, we get chi sao demos and lots of talk about scientific this and that but nothing to show it in use, that is all im asking for, if you care so much about wing chun that you spend hours talking about it why not simply post a clip of what you mean, not a compliant clip, not a real hard sparring clip (phil has done this and it was good to see some of the stuff he talked about in action) if you don’t care and couldn’t give 2 sh*ts about my opinion fine
Oh and once again sorry Joy it was uncalled for
