Hi Guys

The self appointed pundits here can argue about chi sao, but not results.
Congratulations.

Congrats to him on his win!
On Andrew's post though, what does a K1 belt mean? I do think that this is a good question. Is it an automatic guarantee of top-notch Ving Tsun? I personally think that the answer is no - it is more of a testament to Peter's training regimen, applied technique, and various skills and attributes compared to those of the given individuals he fought against. The technique could have been whatever method as long as it was paired with the right attributes (good old distance, timing, footwork, etc.). That's the reason why there are so many boxing methods that can produce good results (Western, Thai, etc.). Whether he used good Ving Tsun is in these days in the eye of the beholder. I tend to look at whether the strategies that Ving Tsun pursues are being followed, as well as at the body mechanics and attributes used to make these happen. The wins are huge (congrats again) but they are not the whole story when it comes to Ving Tsun.

Dio perdona... Io no!
Not sure what your point is, or why you feel a need to qualify your praise for this achievement.I tend to look at whether the strategies that Ving Tsun pursues are being followed, as well as at the body mechanics and attributes used to make these happen.
If the guy won using "bad" Wing Chun (which I doubt), he's better than the guy that used "good Wing Chun principles" but lost.
If he had lost, his Wing Chun would have sucked more than whatever the other guy did. EOS.
Surely no one is going to demand to see a vid before they agree that what he did was sufficiently adherent to WC principles to be regarded as worthy of unqualified praise?

Congrats on the win....But ... haha this is all to funny. It we win a lot... which we do.. then it's not our wing chun or it does not proved it's our wing chun Really?
Yes it was a lot to do with Chu Sau Lei Wing Chun - as that's what we train and that's what we applied. It is quite simple. Distance, timing, and so on are what makes our system what it is. A lot of poor wing chun has bad timing and bad distance control - that's some will work and some will not. The way you prove your style is to test it. That's what we have done 100's of times now. So we do know the differences. thanks you
Yes its crazy right - they say it it works it can't be wing chun lol so wing chun is only wing chun if it's not working under pressure. I think horse and dead come to mind lol
This is one of Pete's K1 fights -
For the guys that think wing chun training is wing chun fighting it will mean nothing. But ifor the guys that understand wing chun combat they will see elbow power, good balance in close and relaxed short range skills.

Your points appear to be missed on this thread and the other about the chi sao comp. Sucks to be you, I guess.The point was rather simple. Though obviously not to you, judging by your post.
It's not the reader, but the poster, who is at fault here.
