Been doing Wing Chun for 34 years and teaching it professionally for over 24, the whole debate about the various ways of spelling Wing Chun is pointless, I have said on many occasions that in MY view Wing Chun is simply the application of body mechanics applied to violent confrontations, it is the merits of the individual instructor that varies depending on their personal experience, ability and how many brain cells between their ears.Originally posted by gregimotis View Post
Since I started coming into forums a few years ago I have been amazed at the hatred of Wing Chun, I can understand the bitterness of Thai Bri as he had contact with immature instructors and I admnit when I started in 1983 my classes were not that indepth, but like anything as we grow we develop and so I only defend what I teach now, but make no apologies for going through the learning curve that any teacher goes through.
Now to the whole point of this reply, if you cannot laugh at yourself and your art then you should give up before you turn into a bitter and wrinkled old prune, sorry Thai Bri not getting at you again, lol.Comment

As it has been mentioned before, Thai Bri has based his wing chun experience on three teachers who taught the art too traditionally for him.
There are varying versions of wing chun out there from school to school
Some want to train very traditionally which involves less fighting and more about structure.
A lot of other federations (Kamon, James Sinclair, Alan Orr, for example) concentrate more on the practicalites of wing chun. If you use wing chun right and train against resisting opponents (that Jubajii and Thai Bri say we don't do), then it is devastating.
I have been to various schools and I always give them a chance. If a school doesn't train fighting then so be it. It isn't for me, but I respect the school's training methods, as long as it doesn't claim to be self defence or a fighting martial artComment

As for humour, I think humour has a limit. People have a right to be offended if someone insults the thing they love. Just as if someone had insulted a friend or lover........Comment

Red Rum - just how many times do I have to remind you that the "Wing Chun2 in the Kamon videos is Kick Boxing?
Durrrrr.
Let TJ take a look at the site and see all the clips. Then he can tell us which ones are Wing Chun, and which ones are not.
I don't even have a problem with Kamon doing this. But to see you keep referring to this MMA type hotch potch as Wing Chun is ridiculous.
While your at it, as hom how much sense it makes to punch bare walls with your bare hands as hard as you can.Comment
