LOL so true but you knew Terence would take it the wrong way so I couldn't resist.If so he's hardly Robinson Crusoe, is he?

"...Therefore the truly great man dwells on what is real
and not what is on the surface,
On the fruit and not the flower.
Therefore accept the one and reject the other. "

Folks ona couple of lists have gone round and round on this relationship and very little that is new can be added. I do not regard Wang Kiu as an authority on this issue.
Ip Man acknowledged his debt to Leung Bik in conversations with quite a few people including
his sons and several of his close students. It was customary to list your first teacher in your art in Ip man's time as your sifu-only one symbolic father in an art. You could learn from others but your first teacher remains honored as the sifu.
I dont care to comment on the rest of the usual merry go round stuff.

What was the RIGHT way to take it, then?LOL so true but you knew Terence would take it the wrong way so I couldn't resist.
IIRC, Wang Kiu used to write tall stories about Yip Man and others for magazines etc. So that would be sound advice.I do not regard Wang Kiu as an authority on this issue.

They also understand that to train for the street, you need to mimic the situation as closely as possible... unlike the people who are being brainwashed into believing junk like this is somehow training for the street

Judging from the video he linked, he seems to think that most TMA are taught in a manner that produces results that someone's 5 or 6 year-old little sister could massacre at will. While I admit that there are schools "like that" "out there", I don't believe that the majority are "that bad".... even now.
(ok, I haven't been looking around much for the last couple of decades, so I could be wrong about that...)
