New pics posted on web site of me doing blindfolded practice inside, now i know Thai Bri will have something to say about this so ill save him the time and effort because what ever you say Thai ill just say whatever!
Unlike some WC styles, WT hasn't picked up stuff from other styles like jumping around like a kickboxer. Also there are student-programs in WT developed for mass learning. WT is also a more expensive to learn if you want to take grades, but you don't have to. Wing chun was developed to defeat the shaolin monks, while WT is a more modern style, according to me. Leung Ting changed the spelling for his style to WingTsun because he didn't want WT to be accociated with other linages of WC because he believed that WT was very different.
I dont know where you get your info but but it was not developed to beat shaolin monks.As you no doubt are aware it was develped by a woman soposedly named Ng mui(not suure how to pronounce)To redirct the kind of brute force ad ignorance Thai Bri domonstrates.Thai Bri if Thai boxing is so fantastic go find a Thai boxing forum and stop rubbishing poeple here who have made their choice of wing Chun.I practice tong long if you wuold like to insult it to.

Ng is such a strange sounding syllable in Cantonese its the same as Wu in Mandarin.
Anyhow, tang long.....qi xing tang long?
That's probably one of the least talked about but combat effective styles of gong fu. There are only 2 known sylists of gong fu fighters who have won in the ring against muay thai fighters; a monkey stylist (ironically) and a mantis stylist from Venezuela.
I used to follow Sifu John Funk's article in Inside Kungfu throughout the 90
s; before the MMA craze he was pro-elbow, knee and headbut as finishing techniques for infighting. Tang long is both a medium and close range fighting system, right?
What function does the mantis 'hand' have? Trapping? Gouging? Parrying??
