Thanks for all of the replies everyone, I think I did get the wrong impression of the utility of the Tan-Da. I am still looking to find that boxer I mentioned, I'll post the pic if I find it, and it...

Victor, "flame in hand" that sounds dirty! I don't remember his name, but I definately remember seeing it (it WASN'T a hallucination), I wish I could remember it (college years are a haze), all I...

Oh Anerlich, not you too! OK, so I'm not making many friends today. I labeled this thread that way cause I knew before I even typed a single word that a bunch of people would get all bunched up...

Couch, did you really just write that blog on your page in response to this thread? Fine for addressing the point, but completely mis represented where I was coming from. This happened the first...

But Couch, this is my original post "OK, I am NOT an advocate of MMA, but I wanted to know if anyone has ever seen the often-touted tan-sao/punch combo that blocks and attacks at the same time used...

Sihing, normally I find your posts informative, but you are guilty of the same error as Couch, ASSUMING that this has something to do with MY faith in the system. And as for the "better question",...

Exactly Couch, WHO said it has ANYTHING to do with my wing chun training? It was a question, asked to the proponents of this art, thats ALL that it was. And by the way Sanjuro, you look much better...

OK, I am NOT an advocate of MMA, but I wanted to know if anyone has ever seen the often-touted tan-sao/punch combo that blocks and attacks at the same time used in any pro-fight? K-1, UFC, etc, has...

OK, maybe my "lengthy" initial question wasn't clear enough... I agree with all the comments regarding situational awareness, and that you should avoid such situations when possible. But come on,...

Just curious, of those of you who HAVE had numerous fights/encounters, what is the first thing you do in either situation? If someone jumps you, and you don't see it coming, vs. a scenario where you...

Hey everyone,

I am curious what your thoughts are on Duncan Leung's lineage of Wing Chun. I really don't know anything about him, but he does have a school located near a friend of mine who is...

Thanks to all for your input, I guess I knew there wasn't much I could do.... ****! Sleeping (or not, actually) is definately the worst part of this ordeal. Any good WC reads out there? I'll be...

HI All,

So I had a mishap this weekend and caught a spinning back kick in the floater! Since I have either a broken, or severly bruised rib, what type of training can I still work on? I imagine...

Stances: wider = more stable, narrower = more mobility. WC = perfect mix of the two ;)

Also, in regards to sinking, I have heard from numerous sources, in many different circles (Kung Fu &...

Drew - Great points, I particularly like the idea of 3 fights before teaching, I don't think the specific number really matters, but that you actually have used what you know in a full-contact...

I am sure some will disagree with me on this. But here is a useful tidbit that was passed on to me about the concept of rooting.... I was originally taught to squeeze my knees together to get this...

Hello fellow WingChunners!

At what level do you suppose someone is ready to begin teaching WC? Is it when they've been shown all the forms & techniques in their lineage or is it when they've...

Thanks Terrence, I was not suggesting I need you guys to help ME make up my mind, I was just asking others for their thoughts on this idea (the one mentioned in the book)... The way you talk about...

In the book "Living the Martial Way", the author recommends studying your primary art intensely, and then (eventually) adding a secondary art to "fill the gaps" so to speak. I have seen many schools...

Hey Gray, the questions bolded above are what I was asking about... Though I said in a later post that I understand if you think they should be answered on another thread as they are not...

Hey James, thanks for your thoughts, much appreciated.

I hear what you're saying, I think my point in saying "WC is WC" is that even different Sifu's within the same lineage teach it differently. ...

OK Ali, which questions would you like me to answer? You would like me (the self-confessed newbie of TWC) to explain and justify the lineage and its history to you? I am sure at your age, that you...

K, Couch, Drew... I gotcha, loud & clear. It's like finding diamonds in a pile of manure sometimes... But its still worth it.:)

Gray, thanks for answering the questions, I knew we had the ability...

Hey Drew, thanks for your input. I hear what you are saying.

I am beginning to see what Couch was trying to tell me now... There is no use in debating things when people take this approach. An...

Hey Red Boat Fellas, I'm not in total disagreement with what you're saying. Have you ever seen the fight between Mighty Mo and that tiny Thai Kickboxer? Google it, it is really sick! KaluKali or...
