Wing Chun Interactions, the key to individual expression
http://youtu.be/fdoLRkMEbDQ
Now I can't say that I am a fan of Shaun Obasi, I don't know much about him or the MMA World he comes from, but I do hold a little respect for students of Wing Chun that actually put themselves out to meet, exchange and learn from others outside their lineage so hat's off to him for that.
In his latest compilation clip he shows highlights of some (if not all?) his public and private clips that show the 'interactive character' of quite a wide variety of teachers and peers. Albeit, he doesn't seem to have researched my own lineage I find it a great snapshot of where some lineages are at today and it is quite easy to pick out their individualty from these short clips. Personally I would prefer to meet someone who had elements of all the personalities here!!! And I thought it may lead to a neat discussion...
So, in a nutshell, do you think that our interactive platform allows for personal expression? Or are we all supposed to be only following one way? If so, which way do you find the better example from this compilation and why?
Hope it's not a diversion
Using the now common guideline-10,ooo hours on mastering a complex skill
any ideas on WSL or his best students on their traing times?

LoneTiger108 , I agree with you on your topic , it 's true , if you learn from the sifus who learned from Ip Man themselves and their disciples , you have the chances of learning something different from what each sifu under Ip Man himself has to offer , so it ' s good . It ' s good to learn different ideas from different sifus under Ip Man and use it to your advantages . If you stick to just one sifu or disciple you ' ll only learn one way of doing WC , but if you learn from all of Ip Mans' sifus and disciples then you ' re open up to learning different ways or ideas of doing WC .
On the other hand if you don ' t meet anybody who trained with all of Ip Mans' sifus or disciples , then maybe you ' ll have to learn and train under all of Ip Mans' Sifu or disciples yourself . So maybe you should do it already . Well , its only through experiences and training you can really upgrade your own training in Wc right ? You just need to really invest the money .
