I visited a JKD school a couple of times. Part of their training was called "entering and trapping" which was the only thing that was even close to what Bruce Lee taught. The only problem was when...

Thanks James, I may just have to do that. Several years ago a friend of mine who has since passed away was also a student of one of Sifu Lams instructors and was an instuctor himself in the LA area....

[QUOTE=southernkf;809769]Hi Dave,

Hey Terence my old friend from the wcml ;) I agree, just concentrating on wing chun chain punchs and kicks is not the highest level of the wing chun art. My problem is finding someone in the...

thanks for your response, I actually have a couple of Sifu Lambs tapes and your right he does show some joint locks in them. Do you know if he has any students in the Tulsa,OK area?
Dave

Hey James, thanks for your response, sorry it took so long to reply. Its good to hear that Sifu Lam believes in the chin na aspect of wing chun. Isnt he from the Wong Shung linage? Dont know if I...

Wow Phil, I am really sorry to hear about your son getting shot. I sure hope he recovers OK.

Looking for a wing chun lineage that emphasis's grappling and joint locks. Lots of Yip Man styles put all their emphasis on chain punching and striking. I am curious as to whose lineage...

Hello all,
I just recently started studying Chen and Wu style and would appreciate some info on good books and vids. The book stores seem to mostly carry different versions of yang style forms....
