Who cares if he did or didn't? We all just have to make do with what we've got and do our thing.

So, what is The Wing Chun System exactly??
Everyone talks about it but I have not seen much evidence of it's existence yet, especially here within this forum!
Of course what he passed down was his personal 'style' of the teaching. WSL passed down his. Moy Yat his. They all gave it their own personal flavour/culture/experience. What I *really* wonder about is when WSL/Ip Man/Moy Yat/Lee Shing/etc realized that it was about THEM and why that part of Kung-Fu has been lost. We're all just clones nowadays, trying to duplicate the past-masters in hopes that we'll be able to say we have the real kung-fu of then - instead of doing the kung-fu of now.
You haven't seen much evidence of Wing Chun in existence? I don't understand. It's everywhere...all sorts of interpretations all across the globe.
