Wing Chun a Love Story
Hello,
When I first came to Wing Chun I was a black Belt in Judo. I was competing and doing fairly well. I was around 16 years old and I started working at a Air Conditioning Company doing odd jobs around the office. One of the guys there was from Hong Kong and I started dating his sister. He did not like me dating his sister and always let me konw he disaproved. Anyhow, one day I kept buggin him about whether or not he knew any martial arts and he put me in my place :p I asked what he used and he replied "Wing Chun". I asked him to teach me and he said NO! But, I kept dating his sister and he eventually broke down and taught me some. They then returned to Hong Kong and we lost touch. But, I had an experience with his sister which showed me that she was quite good at Wing Chun as well. I do not know what lineage he came from but he was impressive to a 16 year old boy who though he was pretty bad. :rolleyes:
This girl had a powerfull influence on me, I took a station of choice option when I joined the ARMY and chose three places with Wing Chun Schools. I also named one of my daughters after this girl, Meiko. Of course this took some very good evasive manuerving on part to placate the wife ;)
So, as they say behind every good man is a good woman. In my case it was not just Ng Mui but a girl named Meiko as well.
Peace,
Dave
