Originally posted by HardballI love wing chun. It's a little complicated but I got to meet Grandmaster William Chueng in person at a chi sao/dim mak seminar. He is truly genuine and really in great physical shape. My Ex Sifu who is Part of G.M. Chueng's lineage is a true "Bad Ass"

Originally posted by Rogue WarriorWing chun has many linear movements in the system. The entire time that I studied I never saw any thai kicks in it. I saw several kicks but none that went away from kicking from the center line of the body. There was if I remember correctly a kicking form called the 8 kicks. Im not going to go into in detail but there were no thai kicks involved. Also TRUE wing chun does not included any boxing movements. The WC system does treach a different style of punching that other styles do not. The chain punch is an effective training tool. You wouldnt use this punching method for every attack but it does teach one to develop fast, fast, fast hand speed that a true wing chun practicioner shows while in attack mode. But I wont defend WC through and through. Ive ssen verteran WC practioners get their ass kicked in a street fight. Which goes to show you that its not that art but the person that studies the art that makes it effective.

Originally posted by TameoWas that the seminar at Sifu Eric Oram's school? I went to that dim mak seminar and all cheung did was demonstrate the same shit we do in class all the time. he just added a phoenix eye or digital thumb strike instead of a punch. He cant even explain anything correctly. This Sifu that comes down from Chicago to teach us gave a seminar were he is showing things and explaining in detail, correcting everyone and going in depth why you do things a certain way. If you do something wrong he corrects it right away. Its more like military style seminar. A lot more gets covered that way with more understanding. William cheung's seminar he shows a technique then you grab a partner and do it, but its really the same thing you do in class just a strike to the temple or like the back of the head.

This is a really cool thread. But i have a couple of questions.
1, Earlier i saw someone mention Boztepe as a thai boxer who beat cheung, so i looked it up and it seems his main style is wing chun not muay thai?
Plus he has a steven segal pony tail in some pics
2, Whats the deal with Wing Chun then? I always thought there was no doubt that it one of the best SD systems around?? i'd never heard anybody dispute this until now so i'm a bit confused. Ive never studied it but i've always been impresses when i've seen it.
3, How different are the different types of Wing Chun??

Originally posted by TameoBoztepe did wrestling and boxing at the time and he just pushed william cheung over because william cheung doesnt even know how to stand properly. How can you throw an effective punch or strike if you cant even stand? none of the guys from my kung-fu school under Sifu joe sayah could stand properly. Now i see that after being humiliated by beginners in another wing chun lineage. No root at all in gm cheung's lineage. He doesn't understand the concept.

65 actually. And why should i give him respect when he doesnt even give respect to the other lineages of wing chun? He is not the best person in the wing chun system, but he claims to be... There are tons of people better than him. He changed the form over 5 times! how is that traditional? He calls every other lineage modified when he had modified his own system many times!

Well you can believe all the stories out there but it doesnt change the fact that his lineage is not as effective as he claims it is. Iv heard stories were william cheung backed down from fights like when him and hawkings cheung were supposed to fight some people and william cheung never showed up hawkings cheung showed my friend his scars to prove it.
