YKS gatekeeper?

[Shadow_warrior8]

yeah its good to do research isnt it?

I spent years reading up in English all I could about wingchun lineage starting with great books from Robert Chu, Y Wu, and research done by Hendrik, Rene, Jim etc.....too many to name, but they are all Giants in the art.

And then I went to the China Forums to start research, China Goverment websites etc.... a couple of years back and read great stuff too. Found that they had their say too.

Reckon we can share what we find without being too personal about it. After all we werent there, no one has a time machine, and at best, we can take all the information as stories we like to believe.

Essentially the two sides of the story could be different as night and day, but at the end of the day, its still 1 coin.

dunno what i have done to upset you

i was asking questions relating to a lineage that the UK has had no exposure to, some people were interested and replied, some were not

maybe someone's having a tough time at home...

Sum Dek.

AFWIW: Many of Sum Nung's students were older than him and died a long time ago. Learning under the PRC many also have no desire for publicity or politics, and because they often trained clandestinely in the old days, only know of each other by name. Likewise, since most don't teach for a living, there are less incentives for bickering.

Does any of Sum Nung descendants still practice Wing Chun?

Yea these videos I ran across before while searching very interesting.


I see some of Sum Nung SLT are different on youtube...I find that interesting too...

There are a few YKS wing chun teachers in the USA. Some or most, may teach privately or very small groups.

I know of T. Wong, and I here he i exceptional. Unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to meet him.

YKSWC, typically, does not seem to advertise much - probably due to personal and specific reasons.

I know there are some instructors in Washington D.C. Area, Mississippi and Virginia (I believe). These individuals come from the Sum Nung/Kwok wan Ping line. VERY GOOD stuff if you ask me. I have studied different versions in the past of Hong Kong WC.

If anyone would like more information, PM me.

Leung Dai-Chiu sibak is another one. He's actually one of Sum Nung's earliest students still active, and he's in the US. He visited our group once -- though sadly I was out of town on business and missed seeing him -- and the depth of his knowledge is amazing.

He's almost impossible to find, though I know at least a couple people who've either visited or trained with him.

Sum Nung praised Leung sibak's preservation of the WCK forms, and that's pretty spectacular praise indeed.

Very interesting where is your group located at Ritchie?

Leung Dai-Chiu is a family friend, he spends half the year in HK and the other half in NY. He speaks very little English and you won't find him unless you know him personally.

Why so secreative?
