My question wasn't designed to illicit comment about my skills. I am happy with my skill and progress. My question stems from hearing so many people criticize wing chun. I do admit much of the...

Lately I have been trying to apply my wing chun in a much more free form manner against an unwilling opponent. I feel I have learned a lot, but muuch of my learning has been that I am doing things...

Hi Forever_young,

I think you really missed my points. You can indeed own as many specialized vehcles as you want and drive them all you want. That wasn't my point. My point was when you created a...

I think this is a bit of a fallacy. I don't think you NEED both. I look at it very different. Kind of like cars. A truck and sports car are very different and serve different purposes. You can find...

Hi Guys,

As beeing a CLF idiot, I wanted to learn a bit about it. There is a lot of discussion about the various major branches. So I thought I'd ask for a quick discription that a NON choy li fut...

Hi Dave,

I don't think grappling and Chin-Na where often expressly taught by Yip Man. Others like Yuan Kay San people claim to have more in their system. I think others in Yip Man lines have added...

Hi Mr Punch,

Thanks for more info on the subject. My assesments and conclusions are based obviously based on VERY limited information, so I probably misunderstood nanba principles and how they are...

Hi Sonny,

It depends on what you mean by traditional. William Cheung uses it(or has) to differentiate what he is doing. Many people that say "traditional" wing chun refer specifically to William...

I am not so sure nanba is relevant in wing chun, though perhaps there are parallels. The upper an lower body should be coordinated and unified. Atl east that is the goal for my current understanding....

Hi,

Thanks for the info. You answered my question about Yip Man relation just fine. I didn't know Yip Man sent people as representatives to different places, or even one. It is interesting to...

Northern California, a bit north of San Francisco.

I am not aware of many schools in that area but I can check. I used to study in Santa Rosa and my school was the only one in that area. Since...

lol, I guess I should have looked at the links. My favorite quote was:

:eek:

Man, he would freak if he lived through the 60's:D

Anyways, like above, it seems unnatural. I am sure they have a...

Hi LoneTiger108,

Thanks for sharing. I saw a little of the ring near the end where it is used against the pole, I have never seen any wing chun use it like that before. Usually it is used as a...

Can you explain how it "MIGHT" be used in wing chun? I doubt many understand what it is your talking about, I know I don't. So I can't really say if I do it or not. I am not explicitly aware of doing...

Cool. Congradulations. I thought it cool when I received my black belt in hung gar, though to be fair, everyone got one when they got their uniform. Infact, it was the only belt you got. It was used...

ahhh, I am not sure I agree with that statement at all. I think what your saying is that most public lists may be from these people. I think Curt James was one of the first to post on the net and his...

Hey,

That is pretty cool stuff. whats the info on the TV show? This had a bit of the old shaw bros flavor to it, which I have always been a sucker for. For some reason wing chun doesn't seem to...

Hi,

I don't know any thing about Yip Pui. I suspect Chow is sifu Chung K Chow. I don't know how good he is, but I suspect he is pretty good. His video seems like he does good stuff. His wing chun...

My thoughts only. I think the language is important to reveal some inoformation. Tan for example means something and someone chose that name over other names. But what we don't see a lot of in wing...

Yeah, imagine that. LOL. Lets keep this thread our little secret. LOL.

The funny thing is we should be able to discuss things and have different points of view. Unfortunately people take things...

Interesting. I'll have to look more at it. What I have seen, and admittedly implied, was that it wouldn't work for the traits I am after. perhaps i need to reevaluate it. But I am still skeptical...

Hi Lugoman,

I hope your eyesight improves. You gotta watch those Kettlebells! :D

I can't speak for others but I can offer my thoughts on the topic. It isn't that ANY thing can hurt your wing...

Hi,

How does the ring prevent flying elbows? Do you using it at the elbows? I have seen a few different people demo the ring here and there and they had it lower on the forearms. My thought is if...

I am not familiar with any "offical" rattan rings being taught by any line from Yip Man. By this I mean it doesn't seem to stem from his teachings as a core or even secondary training method. Some...

Ohh, sorry. I must have misinterpreted what you were saying.
