I'm not to old to learn, how about you?
There is some real insight out there.....sometimes.

Besides you can learn more by listening than talking, and by reading more than writing.

In your own honest opinion, what are a few strengths of the Wing Chun system?
Also what are weak points and how can we improve upon them?

There are as many styles of Wing Chun as practioners. Since everyone including students of the same Sifu, develop their own unique interpretation of the system..


Ultimately there will always be...

Yes there is a concerted effort to rewrite Wing Chun’s origins. Much of this comes from Asian men who cannot admit they study a style created by a woman.
If you are from the Yip man lineage than you...

Training hard makes you the best you can be.
Having said that, even at your best there are those who will be better. Three against one are near impossible odds for anyone.

Since there is no style more suited for a female, why are there not more training in Wing Chun Kung Fu.?

What can we do to get more women , through the door?

I would like to hear from everyone,...

old jong asks ...Hey Mui!...
Were you really shaolin?...

Yes, I was. Despite what modern man has said.
Believe it or not, Old Jong, Some say I never existed at all.

These are the same...
