I would say he is doing the system correctly according to Ip Mans sons and how 'they want him' to teach internationally. You would do good to remember that he is promoting Wing Chun in some countries that have had little or NO exposure to anything like it before and that is a mission he has taken on for and on behalf of the Ip Family... Good luck to him I say.
I'm only quoting this because it has incorrect information in it and so is not really agreat example of 'truth' at all...
Sam Kwok is my Sisuk, meaning he was trained by my Sigung (Lee Shing) as one of his younger generations (prior to being introduced to Ip Chun). But to say that my Sigung was 'joining' the Yip Man Martial Arts Athletic Association in 1978 is stretching the truth because he was given permission by Yip Man himself to teach Wing Chun prior to leaving HK for England in 1963. It was actually my own Sifu that Ip Chun was inducting into the Wing Chun family in 1978, by request of Lee Shing his school was named 'Jun Mo'
I believe at a similar time Uncle Kwok was given the name 'Ching Mo' but maybe one of his direct students can confirm this?

I'm not intending to but there has been more interest in the family this time round so some may enter...
Maybe you have students who will Jim?? Or maybe you will put a clip up of yourself teaching Wing Chun, as you seem to have a fixation with taking the pi$$ out of others

No not again for us lot anyways done that in 1999 2000 2001 2002 at euro wirrall not 100% on the dates its a while ago now we had about 4 or 5 guys enter (out of about 30 entering) and at least one or two won either firsts or seconds not bad others got disqualified. You can verify this with the organizer George Ho if required cos I cant remember.
Jim
Nice one Jim, good to hear you got involved.
So you are obviously not averse to the idea of some kind of proving ground, a good thing...

This is gonna sound kind of stupid (and since ive acknowledged that i'd appreciate it if you all didn't remind me!), but I think at least half of the videos put up by the Kung Fu community of well known Sifus are purposely done somewhat half assed. I feel like I've seen plenty of videos of various sifus doing forms and such in ways that clearly lack details that they have expressed before when explaining the movements (so you know they knew the detail, they just didn't do it).
Also, again, may sound stupid, but I think lots of sifus who reach a certain level looks more lax when they do things because, simply put, they can do it like that while still be effective. I'm not sure if others have experienced it, but there are plenty times that I felt like my sifu was breaking all the Ving Tsun concepts, but completely dominating me w/ Ving Tsun at the same time, as if any time I did try to do anything, the Ving Tsun was there. It was kinda of like saying "See? Once you train these energies enough, you can use them anyway you want. Try and stop it if you wish." I think the students feeling the technique first hand probably know whats up.
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die...
Man,,, this clip says it all.

Please could you leave your posts on how I can't do any better, why don't I post a clip, that I'm a Philipp Bayer worshipper and belong to some cult and why don't I take part part in Alan Orrs pathetic Chi Sau competition to prove how good I am below please.
Thanks
