Posted by Mip on 2/13/2003, 12:43 am, in reply to "Re: even crappy Wing Chun is better than most everything else you will find" It is a great quote yes. It doesn't apply to anything relating to this. When you can't even get the first form correct, then how can you blame me for thinking there is something wrong? Besides it's not as if I am saying what you are teaching is no good. It's not as if I put you down with ballerina sports such as Tae Kwon Do, Karate, or heaven forbid (imo the worst martial art ever) kai-jitsu. What you are teaching is probably good Wing Chun, but I promise you, it's not the best Wing Chun. Do you have any pictures, documents, or other things proving your lineage? Yet another problem I saw with your Wing Chun : I was reading about Sifu Fong's training, about where he was entered into a tournament... uh, Wing Chun is not a tournament sport, you fight for your life, not for trophies. True Wing Chun is too dangerous to be used in a tournament without pulling punches. Which would violate one of the 108 principles... "No Compassion"
