Leung Bik
Thought I would start a separate thread on Leung Bik to allow Victor to continue his TWC training/technique thread on it's core content.
To that end...
In my opinion there are several questions at hand.
1) Did Leung Bik exist and did he end up living in Hong Kong?
2) Did Leung Jan modify his Wing Chun to teach Chan Wah Shun only a limited or modified version of the system? Did he in turn teach a different Wing Chun to his son(s)?
3) Did Leung Bik meet Yip Man and decide to teach the "unmodified" or "true" or core Wing Chun to Yip Man, who was not a family member, AND was a student of the man who his father wanted to withhold the real Wing Chun principles and techniques from?
If so, why teach this complete version to a student of his purported rival?
4) Did Leung Bik teach a secret or separate form of Wing Chun to Yip Man, under constraints to keep this training secret from any future students?
