hello

I am looking for a style with a few core forms that I can practice repeatedly. So I am looking for a school or an instructor to teach me Wing Chun. I have learned a nonYip Man style before...

Sorry for late reply, I've been busy with some other things.

But thank you for the list of schools. Initially I was trying to find someone teaching one of the lesser known styles of Wing Chun...

Thanks for the info.

Actually I'm trying to find a school/club/instructor at the moment and I wanted to see what is available in Vancouver. I'll definately check out the night market.

Thanks for the quick reply. I will check the site.

Hello Everyone,

I live in Vancouver and I saw a few weeks ago some posters about some Vancouver Martial Arts demonstration. Anyone living in Vancouver see it? If you have, could you let me know...

thanks everyone for your replies,

good point about taiji. When i meant they were similar i meant that both are developed on the principle of being weak/supple to defeat the strong/rigid. as a...

Hi all,

i haven't been on the forum in a long time, but i have a question and want to see what peoples thoughts are.

Okay, so here we are plenty of people learning different styles of wing...

hey thanks for your response guys,

i hope i can find a good master as you guys have. you guys seem to know yoru stuff pretty good. and unfortunately its hard to tell how good an instructor...

hi syd,

thanks for the response. put in that context it makes sense. i'm accustomed to southern kung fu styles where you generally see low kicks.

oh one more question about the jumping moves...

hi syd,

from what you write, obviously you are very knowledagble in the taiji form. i'm not. but thats okay because i haven' t started learning yet, but i plan to.

but perhaps you could...

Hi T'ai Ji Monkey

Thanks for your response.

I was hoping there was maybe a style I coudl find without jumps or kicks simply because those high kicks and jumps aren't very practical. I guess...

hi everyone,

this sounds liek a dumb question, but i figure I shoudl ask it anyway.

So i'm itnerested in learning taiji, however i'm quite put off by the high kicks and the jumping moements in...

hi everyone,

i've started folowing this thread recently, and although it began as a very interesting thread, the last ten pages (i'm approximating) has ended up basically as people attacking each...

i dont htink its pointless.
it may be pointless if i asked "who would win" between these two.. because no fight is a predictable one.

What i wanted to know is what sort of techniques woudl a CLF...

hi,

just curious to know if any of ou guys have come across any other lineages besides the Yip Man and Yuen Kay San branches over here in Vancouver BC.

hi thanks for the responses everyone.

originalyl when i posed the question I wanted to know how a CLF person would handle fighting a close distance fighter. From what i understand, once a decent...

hi,

i was wondering if any choy lay fut practiioner can tell me how they would deal with a wing chun fighter. it seems that both are complete opposites of each other. while choy lay fut is...

Hi Ego,

Sorry to hear that you're paralyzed, although I doubt you'd want sympathy from anyone.

Yeah good point, I'm sure UFC fighters would proably gouge and do all sorts of "dirty" fighting...

i passed by this foruma nd found it rather interesting and just wnated to add my two cents worth.

I think as many poeple are bitter towards Ego he has an interesting point. I'm not saying that it...

Oh don't get me wrong, I don't think blindfaith is the way to go either. Obviously for something to continue to grow and develop we must test everything we learn. As Yip Man said, "if you don't...

IMO

I don't think the SLT should be altered without a really good reason. The SLT is considered a "dictionary" of techniques and principles, and if one were to change the form then there is a risk...

I thought the goal of chi sao was to move beyond playing with the hands and to develop sensitivity to the point where you dominate his center. Similar to Taijiquan tui shou? Or maybe thats just me...

--Steveo Wrote--
Also, I think working on the forms while concentrating hard on it and narrowing your focus to what you're doing might be a type of meditation (or working hard at improving any...

Thanks for the response phenix!

I think my question has been answered completely and thoroughly.

Now just one more question though,

Blindfolded means the training of Awareness Dharma Door....
