: Another thing, there are more than 108
: principles in Wing Chun, yet it is stated
: all over the Windy City Wing Chun website
: that there are 13 principles. Wing Chun is
: based on principle... it would seem that
: there is something missing in Windy City
: Wing Chun right there.

: Oh you want elaboration, A'ight, first of all
: there is the obvious lack of very credible
: lineage. You can debate that if you will,
: but that's how it is. Um... the movies in
: the movie section demonstrating the SLT
: form perform it incorrectly, pieces
: missing, different things thrown in.
: Again I'm not saying Windy City Wing Chun is
: bad. What I'm saying is, it doesn't have
: everything you could find in the way of
: Wing Chun. For example, you know it's not
: completely authentic because it is
: "Windy City" Wing Chun, I mean
: if it was authentic, would it not just be
: "Wing Chun". Also, Windy City
: Wing Chun is not recognized by the Wing
: Chun Kung Fu Council. There there is
: things such as "Fong's Wing
: Chun" why would it not be "Wing
: Chun's Wing Chun"

: "even crappy Wing Chun is better than

: Windy City Wing Chun doesn't seem to have the
: purest lineage I've ever seen, but you
: seem to have most of the authentic Wing
: Chun system. Way to go. (yes, i have seen
: missing pieces)

Why don't you get in ring sometime mr. knowitall? It will be a huge eye opener for you. It's amazing how getting hit by an agressive opponent will make you realize that lineage and how you perform SLT means jack shit in a fight. I can't believe people still focus on politics and notions of authenticity. You can either fight or you can't and if you've never fought you have no idea. Keep the bullshit coming, it's making me laugh and it's why the martial arts are laughed at by joe public. Nice Job, you 're sifu would be proud of you.
