Hi Kenton,

Congratulations on your family. I just took a break and cut down on teaching, just train with a couple of students. I came back to see what people are talking about these days and found...

It seems more likely to me that he just re-arranged the mainland China Wing Chun dummy form which had a lot more movements into a 108 movement, 10 section form. Later he thought 8 sections with 116...

I was just wondering what lineage this kicking form comes from? One person I know from Hong Kong also learned this form about 40 years ago (almost identical 95%) but not from the Yip...

Hi Chee,

The 6 1/2 point spear. Well here is something about that.

I learned this in 1982 from Dr. G.K. Khoe who is a student of Wang Kiu in Holland. Wang Kiu is in his 80's I think and still...

After I learned some Escrima stick and knife fighting from various people (Remy Presas, Bobby Taboada, Dom Lopez etc.) and looked at all the tapes I could get my hands on of famous Filipino masters...

I read a story a few years ago about an Aikido practitioner who was attacked on the street. The Aikido man punched the attacker in the face and won the fight. Later he said "Aikido really works."

1. Straight punch – Siu Lim Tao
2. Uppercut – Chum Kiu

One guy I had in mind was the number two body guard of a Hong Kong underground boss. Number two means he wasn't as good as the number one guy. This was from the Jiu Wan lineage.

The people who fight with Wing Chun for a living, never ask if Wing Chun is effective in a fight. I know a few of these types of people.

Maybe the idea is how to get more people to that level. In...

From my experience I think you can spend most of your life training but never getting beyond what a talented student would achieve in just a few years of training. After that you can get stuck...

Hello Everyone,

Sorry I didn't intend to start any controversy. I just was interested in what history was known and now I know that there isn't anything that can really be traced. The same is true...

Hello,

I studied a village type of Hung style in the 1960's which doesn't have the Tiger and Crane form but have always enjoyed seeing this form. A good friend of mine knows it very well as he...

Here are some good clips of Ramon Dekker for those who haven't heard of him before and who are into the competitive fighting aspect. Imagine that he is your opponent. How would you stack up? I heard...

Is there any information on these Tai Chi vs Thai boxing matches somewhere?

Thank you.

Is there any way to save this video clip on my hard drive?

Hi Ghost,

I didn't mean anything by it. I train with someone who learned Hung style in Hong Kong from age 5 or six until he was a teenager. Then he learned Wing Chun and trained with me since...

This Chinese friend of mine commented the other day that Chen style and Wing Chun seem to have a lot in common. This was after he watched many videos on Chen style theory and compared that with...
