Thats another point are we from the sane source there is no proof of that only second hand stories handed down over the years the core principles are on the most part the same Im not a demo guy never have been Ive been fighting since I could walk first boxing then my days on the Terraces of West Ham (not my proudest moment) and then 17 pro fights in MMA so I would only do a art that I believe works but theres nothing wrong with doing wing chun for enjoyment and lets be honest the most people online have never had a real fight in their lives and never experienced the fear that comes with it wing chun is a system that is learned then made your own and thats the problem people fail to understand that simple principle and behave like sheep trying to convert everyone to their way of doing things to many egos and to many armchair fighters But I do agree with your point about fighting over techniques also forms who in charge of who whos Ip Man best students and so on drives me mad but again ego I strongly believe wing chun should look like wing chun its a simple concept and lets be honest a simple art that was its desiqn to be effective in the shortest possible time

So are you of the opinion that WCK was developed by unreleated parties in different times and/or location with no connection to each other? And that they named all the systems the same thing by coincidence?
I don't need proof to know this is highly unlikely.
I agree if you mean second hand stories don't really mean much. But in my actual experience, and also just from what one can read here thru the years, the understanding of the core principles is greatly varied among lineage - and even within the same lineage or given branch. Not sure how long you've been on these forums or read thru them, but this becomes pretty clear as you do.
Not sure why you're giving me your resume, but thanks I guess (?)
I can agree with the rest.

We can at least trace back to Leung Jan that we can be sure off before that not so sure but I do believe it does come from one source just playing devils advocate
Not long on forums about a week I believe the core principles of Wing Chun should be the same but they can and do get interpreted in different ways which then leads to confusion and yes even within the same family thats always confused me but I have experienced that myself when we released a clip recently of a form a member of our family said that it was made up again I believe this is a ego thing If I dont know it must be made up
Not a resume just an explanation that wing chun is a fighting art and that to know how to fight you must experience it but thanks maybe Il write a book haha
anyway nice to meet you all I have learned something new tonite I now know what a troll is great stuff I will opt out of this convo now before a troll gets me
All cool, I think we're on the same line of thinking. What clip are you referring to? I always like seeing differnt takes on things, even if more times than not they are krap or I don't agree with them
Welcome to the forum, you'll love to hate it in no time! And I look forward to your book! haha
**** nevermind, I found your clips! cool that you share what you do.
