I haven't posted here in a long while but always like to contribute when I see threads about Wing Chun Pole.
There is a trend that we practice everything both sides to maintain a balance and as...
1. What are the origins of my line of Yongchun?
Well, for me it's a Southern Art, and so we call it Wing Chun. My 'line' comes from Leung Jan, to Chan Wah Shun, to Yip Man to Lee Shing to my Sifu...
Sorry! I didn't even realize I had posted as the site crashed on me (again!?) Must be my work PCs...

Check out this Youtube channel as it features Jiu Wans son, Jiu Hung Kwok, demonstrating various parts of their system. Some wicked clips of the old HK movie star Ti Lung too! Enjoy!
It's great to see an interest in Jiu Wan here. I remember years ago I had brief contact with Eddie (deejaye72) but since the Forum is kind of dying a death here I tend not to contribute much anymore....
I do like that resource, and maybe it was the VTAA I had heard about being set up in 1967? But I am sure the 'Company' I heard had Yip Mans name attached?? Something like Yip Man Wing Chun Tong or...
I like that you mention Ip Man named 'his' own knife form, as this too is what I have heard from my Sifu. Similar too to his 108/116 wooden man, pole and cohesive curriculum of Forms and Chisau? This...
It's not a fact many outside the UK are aware of but yes, Lee Shing was the first to represent Yip Man here. Also the first to start promoting the Martial Arts Athletic Assoc. too from it's inception...
I haven't read through all of this thread, but do remember seeing a few things here that I feel are worth mentioning again.
As far as this 'Bruce did all the work for us' type idea, please. He...
Nice to see you here Carlos!
And it really goes to show how long this self inflicted drama has been going on for...
FME using such things the poles do get deflected if you have them mounted in such ways. I have always preferred the white wax wood sticks to the softer bamboo type but both have their qualities....
No I was trying to suggest that the other attributes like power and angling can be beneficial before moving onto live partner training. If a partner is standing there and allowing you to develop, I...
Wing Chun culture? Loyalty? Accepted and followed?
Have a look into China today and you will not see much of this sort of thing, at least not commercially. The effects of the 'no master' rule,...
The stick, rather than the pole, is the Father of all Chinese Martial Arts weaponry. It is not the stick that you will need to defend yourself, it is the benefits reaped from years and years of...
All in good time! The sticks that go into these frames can be whatever type you ant them to be, so you can build your power bit by bit.
This is where I disagree. The attributes you describe...
Good points.
Just in addition you mention power and accuracy being the focus? What part of learning how to hit a stationary object does not help build your power and accuracy? Like using the...
Sorry you feel that way and have some sort of preconceived idea about my interest in this subject and 'sarky' attitude?! FWIW I totally enjoyed your post and the information you have shared there...
Seriously? I understand you started a thread about this Kwun Jong subject but I found the whole thread full of derailments about whether or not Leung Bik existed lol!?!
Not interested in that. I'm...
I rarely post here these days, especially since the current trends seem to be dividing the Wing Chun community rather than attempting to unite any of us!
Has anyone experience of using anything...
It always seems like there is a big 'for and against' anything new (or old!) that comes along in the Wing Chun mainstream, but I have found all the banter quite boring at times!! From ALL parties...
I would tend to agree with that. Although I would also add that whatever Chan Wah Shun was teaching, Ip Man was not authorised in the 'public' sense to carry on the school that Chan Wah Shun set up....
Seems to me that this is all about much more than nothing but generally I also see your view, and Hendriks, and Waynes.
Personally I have seen far too much infighting in our beloved Wing Chun...
I forgot to mention that Austin Goh also openly teaches a 'Pien San' method and has done so for at least 2 decades now. From my limited understanding he has quite a few subsets (over 20) that Sigung...
I know of my Sigung returning to his hometown Hoksan after Ip Man passed away to see what the locals were going to do and research more than he had already done so before he met Ip Man in HK in the...
Personally I'm not a big fan of the whole Leung Bik story as I know other stories too that make much more sense (for me)
As for the multiple Baisi 'Ceremonies' I am sorry, for me once you are a...
