@GonG108 For 1 hes 72, 2 i'd like to see anyone fuck with this guy. Sure im not the best martial artist in the world, but im 16 i should be able to beat up a 72 year old man no matter what right? Well i can't this guys a beast and so are all his students.
@BACKWARDSgameREVIEWS no you shouldn´t wing tsun does not work with your own power , it should be an easy thing for a master to use yor young and fresh energy to kick or throw you around the corners , do you know what yip man did with bruce lee at his age ( i think about 90) . if you understand the concept of wing tsun you will know what i mean , wiliam chung is in my eyes othing more then a good sales man but not a martial artist master , there are others who are much much better
@BACKWARDSgameREVIEWS there is no need to talk about it , just take a look at his students and how they do the form and take a look a the other ones you wil see a big difference , wing tsun is not karate and exaxtly this is what you will see , william chung students doing wing tsun moves in a karate style ( i mean with much power and very static not fluently like it should be ) , make your own point of view and if you beleive more in words then in deeds then this is your problem not my one
@BACKWARDS last but not least , when william got beaten up by emin he was around mid 40 and his claims are ridic. there was a king of kung fu and a young student who had the second technician degree , the fight was over in seconds , because a good wing tsun fighter never goes to the ground , thats what they try to tell you with their bad footwork , and exactly on the ground he lost his face since then his studens try to fix it but we are no sports club , wt is martial art if you lose you lose
the attacker turns to jelly as soon as his fist goes near bullshit billy.
Maybe if he tried actually punching instead of offering his hand and expanctantly and compliantly just doing sweet F*** all afterward it may be a bit more realistic

JKD does not include Gung Fu or Wing Chun. Jun Fan JKD contains Gung Fu, Wing Chun, Savate, Muay Tai, Burmese Boxing. Bruce Lee's Birth name was Lee Ju Fan, so JFJKD is Bruce Lee's art and nobody else's art. JKD can be taught but can't be standardized. "Take what is useful and disgard what is useless to YOU". So to say that JKD includes particular martial arts like Gung Fu is incorrect, because it is not a set style.
the late great master derek jones studied under master cheung and created the art of BODY MIND and SPIRIT, the only problem is that it is being taught just like jeet kune do by a few ego full so called si fools with no spirit or integrity,only guru dan inosanto and a few are true inovative masters unlike steve j and other space cadets.
Randy Couture, Sean Sherk, Erik Paulson, Ron Balicki, Rick Young, to name a few, are all successfull MMA/NHB fighters who are JKD-trained and were trained and coached by Dan Inosanto, Bruce Lee's second-in-command and current head of JKD Concepts. And yes, JKD IS a definite complete system of streetfighting, not just a philosophy, and it includes Jun Fan Gung Fu, which has Wing Chun in it. Please research before you post
Excuse me but Ted Wong has stated that Lee left behind Wing Chun from Jeet Kune Do by 1970 or so and used fencing and boxing as the main technical elements in JKD. This has also been reiterated by Ted's second in command Teri Tom in her wonderfully researched book, 'The Straight Blast.' Lee felt WC was very limited and used the straight jab very differently than the jik chun choy of WC. He used it as a blade/foil as in Epee fencing methods. This was the fencing "stop hit'..but with fists/feet.
It is scientifically the most effective art. Based on simplicity, balance, opening, and controlling the elbows. Theres hardly any foot work in Wing Chun. Since I started Sil Lim Tao I don't understand how any other style makes sense. Any true practitioner respects the art and it's not about what is what on the street. Talk is cheap. And anyone who runs the mouth proves to me their insecure and have no idea what the hell their talking about.
im sorry but footwork is the key to wing chun! manouvering to the blind side and power and strength all come from the stance and footwork. footwork is the key! and although the story of leung bik that Ip Man told is commonly regarded as folklore the story behind it was that leung bik taught him the correct FOOTWORK. (one roumor is more likely to be truthful is that Chu Chong Man beat Ip Man and again taught him the FOOTWORK) may i ask who you study under and your lineage?
ALl i can say is, talk is cheap! And to everyone who is dissing this style, confront a wing chun practioner and then judge. All this " wing chun dont give you street prowess" Is bullshit. I've used it on the street many times, and I must say its one of the most effective styles!
Thisisworship, are you aware that the originator of Jeet Kune Do had four and a half years training in Wing Chun. His only formal period of martial art study and that part of the expression of the fighting philosophy Jeet Kune Do in the seventies had pak sao's lap sao's and vertical fist punches. The term straight blast is often referred to in JKD Literature. Also no style or system ever fought. Its all philosophy and exercise. Men and Women do the fighting.
Jeet Kune Do is not a fighting system, its a philosophy so how can it be entered into any Mixed Martial Art competition, JKD has no attachment to Wing Chun whatsoever. More so JKD is essentially what a Mixed Martial Artist should be. You are thinking of a contemporary version of Wing Chun perhaps?

wing chun has failed every single time it was introduced into mma, for that matter so did jeet kune do..though the latter's better than classical wing chun it still lacks real street fighting prowess
1. I have only seen wing chun once in MMA and that was in UFC against Gracie, and the Wing Chun guy sucked in Wing Chun. 2. Its no the system of style that gives you street prowes or skills, it is what you make of it, even of you train under worlds best fighter, will not make you the worlds bst fighter
you donut! JKD's principles are MMA, and one persons MMA is their personal JKD! (not jun fan JKD) and Lee wanted to continue his study of wing chun but was not allowed to with Ip Man. wing chun is 'the way of the intercepting fist' attack and defence at once. wing chun finishing moves are downward elbows, eye and throat strikes, and kicks to the groin. which MMA tournament are these allowed in? please let me know becausev i'd love to know! MMA is a sport, and as such has limitations, wing chuns
blah blah blah..... pure this,traditional that. just let it go! who gives a rats ass? the drunk 110 kilo redneck throwing punches at you couldn't care less. i am a full time student of hung suen wing chun and believe me,the person with the "correct"style of anything, is the one who still has his teeth inside his head when the fight is over. Arguing over crap like this is just ego stroking. give yourself a reach around.
Well said cripian74. It's about time someone cut to the chase and said something that wasn't horseshit on one of these posts.
As Bruce Lee stated, " A punch in the mouth is a punch in the mouth"...and also, " it doesn't really matter what technique you use as long as it scores"....and " I'm not worried about the guy that practices a million techniques. I'm worried about the guy who practices one technique a million times."
Ip Man had a big school with many disciples and he would used the trickle down system of teaching. He would only work out with the seniors (Si-hing) and in turn the class seniors would teach the juniors (Si-tai). Wong Sheng Leung was si-hing to both Bruce Lee and William Cheung. Leung Sheung was si-hing to Leung Ting. Other notable si-hings: Lok Yiu, Moy Yat, Tsui Sheung Tin, and Ho Kam Ming.
I think it is an incredible shame that foolish people have to speak ill of such an amazing man. A real martial artist will have a composed, spiritual mind and not compose himself in such a manner, take a leaf out of these real masters book.
i have heard that his man is a vegetable now.. and that he deserved the beating that emin gave him.. and MMA is for little sissie girls who like to mount other men. yeah i said it.
umm last i checked MMA was pretty brutal so umm sissies i dont think so and yeah mounting another guy so you can choke and brake his arm...sounds like an even trade :-P lol and here comes the flames.
I can't help it I also think he isn't that good. I know he's supposed to be one of the best in VT but all the clips i've seem of him look sloppy, bad technique and look like they lack power. I may be wrong but it's just my opinion.
The reason you may thin that the vids you've seen look that way is because he is much older now for one...but also many of the clips here were from an instructional video/DVD series which he did years ago but which he was on a plane from Australia..totally jetlagged and had appointements each day all over the USA...on opposing coasts and so on. As soon as he arrived at the airport he went right to city to make the vids and with no rest made back to back about 15 videos. he was exhausted.
kenpopaul, Further, if you wish to see him in some more recent but MUCH better vids...look on his website at the videos of his forms(sets really on those vid clips) etc... that he does which were filmed outside at his student Sifu Mazza's school in New Jersey. Fast...crisp...sharp...solid..great footwork and handspeed....and energetically done sets.
My sifu asked an ex professional Muay Thai and MMA instructor to teach us some of his skills. He did not look very skillful, but you could see he was in pain every time he tried to duck, kick, puch or knee. I don't know if he could've defeated sifu in his prime, but he definately can't beat him now. His shins are hacked, joints locked up and his back is sore. Whos better now?
You could never ever do it, someone with ur personality would never make it, and you will say, wc beats any mma fighter in 4 seconds, that's bullshit, any decent mma fighter would nail you, u know it deep down. Can you honestly tell me that u would beat someone like Cro Cop or Fedor in 4 seconds? Go, i dare u to make that statement.
bjj is a total fucking waste of time, jesus, the fucking gracies just got the shit kicked out of them in a bar fight in NY like 3 weeks ago, so that proves that. you will never use half of that shit in a real fight. i can tell you are just a giant meathead because of the way you talk. ive seen dozens like you, and defeated dozens like you. you all fight exactly the same, sloppy, middling in 18 different styles.
you say all i do is talk, bro, all ive ever done is respond to your moronic comments, you will have no success in fighting. i actually feel bad for you and for the beating you will recieve in japan, if you are actually going, i doubt it. and the william cheung vids are favorited just so it saves me time in reading all of your dumbas replys.
Seriously, Theundies, If you think William is so shit, why do you keep returning to his video? And seriously, i couldn't believe it but... WHY THE FUCK ARE 3 William Cheung VIDEOS SAVED AS UR FAVOURITES??? You obviously have nothing better to do than convince urself ur good, try fighting in mma like me ok?
Theunduies, I speak what I was taught and what in my humble opinion most belivable, you speak as if you were there when the Shaolin Temples burned down.
haha, i love that you make up all these stories. or i feel bad for the person who did make it up and told you the lie. bruce lee returned to HK to ask yip man to finish the training with him, and because bruce was throing money at him he refused. and lee then invented jeet kune do. but on another note, bruce would have died against WSL, and killed william cheung, never in his life did WSL lose to william cheung, its just another one of his cons that he tells people.
no, Wsl and William fought when they were young and William beat him and when Bruce Lee came back to HK to challenge WSL Lee won and said " Do you think I could beat Ah Hing" (Cheungs's nickname in chinese) wsl said no
I was told the videos Yip Man made were to help his sons learn he was to weak at the time to realy teach them. I have also found some new stuff on why Wing Chun was altered. I have also read that Yip may have lied about meeting Leung Bik. I have info saved that I find if any one wants any of it mail me I have links to the pages I find.
Anyone can put out bogus, falsified, dis-information on the net! If you believe all that than you are very naïve! The best way will be to go to the source people in HK and ask questions. I can't believe young guys like renegade002 are so gullible to believe con man IS the only one in the world knows "traditional" WC! Check your brains guys!!! Con man never spent much time learning under Ip! He mostly hung around WSL.
And yes, Theundies2, Yip Chun was taught incorrectly by his father because he was never very interested and serious about wing chun. Some say that Yip Chun didn't even begin training until after his father's death. Ofcourse if Yip Man lived a bit longer, or if Yip Chun because serious about his training, His father would've taught him correctly.
Wolf's statement is correct, all of Yip's students learnt modified (what he learnt from Chan Wah SHun) and THAT is why Leung Bik beat Yip man when they fought, because Yip was fighting modified (Leung Tings type) and Leung was fighting Authentic (William's type). The only people who learnt Leung Bik's Wc through Yip Man was William Cheung and Wong Shun Leung.
I've been told the true story from someone who new william cheung personaly: As is well known Yip Man was an opium addict and lived with a prostitute. W.C's father was chief of H.K police and basicly said to Y.M that he'd leave him alone, if he taught his son (W.C) the proper (back door) art and not modified.
Chan Wah Shun learned was tricked into learning the modified Wing Chun and later taught Yip Man. Yip then went on and met Leung Bik who showed him the true system and told him he was the son of Chan Wah Shun's teacher he also told him the reason it was modified. Yip Man had two teachers but I can not say this story is true or not but it is possible. the full story is on cheungswingchun com under Yip Man.
I guess Ip man succeeded in that he didn't want mass amounts of people knowing wing chun's true concepts and principals, today the wc world is 90%modified and 10%authentic/traditional.
wow moron, he's 65 now, so is 1984 would make him how old? 43 if i am correct? You are telling me thats too old to be fighting? shit ip chun is 85, hell even my own sifu is 55, there is no way around it, cheung blows, make up any excuses you want. trying to tell me he was 71 back in 1984? which would make him 93 now? jesus, read some shit before you go on here trying to tell everyone stuff.
And you're trying to tell me that ip man only taught his "real" wing chun to a few students? what about his son ip chun? do you honestly think that he wouldn't teach his own son the "correct" way according to you? NO! because you're a moron and you dont think about things before you say them. you just cant accept that cheung is a fraud, and i feel bad for you.
Actually I've realised William is 65, still to old to be fighting. And I am not bagging Ip man I am just stating facts, his students wouldn't know what they were paying for, could you imagine Ip Man saying, you can learn poor wc for a cheaper cost, or genuine wc for more money? I didn't make up the story, many sources tell that and I use to believe what you believe until I did a lot of searching for info and schools and I mean a LOT of searching.
If william is 65 now and the fight took place in 91'. William was only 50 at the time! Not old for an apparent Grandmaster, especially as Emin had only been training WT for 3 yrs at this time.
Good point about William being 71 years old. Man that really is pathetic for a young guy to attack him like that. Look at any old 70 year old boxers for example, even if they were champions in there time, no one would consider it fair for him to get in the ring and fight a young champion. Emin was pathetic to do that, he is not impressive, and he is a narcicistic weirdo who is up his own arse....thank you and goodnight.
That tape was made in 1984. Con man William Cheung couldn't be 71 back then. All you guys are scum bag liars trying to cover con man Willy's ass, for what?
infact, Yip man was an opium addict and never wanted to teach his secrets, so he taught modified wing chun to everyone (for money) so he could supply his opium addiction. Yip man taught the authentic system to only a select few in this case people like wsl and william cheung who were great friends growing up. Even Bruce Lee learned the modified system and even Bruce had stories about Lt's double armed chisau getting wooped by Cheung's when they were young and training.
You stupid moron making up story that doesn't make sense!!! Why won't Ip Man teach the "authentic" WC to every one for EVEN MORE MONEY? It is a shame to embellish your credential faking forms to teach. It is out right unethical to de-fame Ip Man while boasting con man William Cheung! You are a shameless scum!!! Worse than Leung Ting!
Yip man's action (teaching modified version) was perfectly logical in the old Chinese martial society - true arts can be passed on to only one person. And it was not unusual for master to spend a life time to find that right person. It is a form of respect, or even oath, to master's own teacher.
There are 2 systems in wc, modified and authentic, modified was invented to teach to people who were suspected of being manchurian spies in the quing dynasty, authentic was taught only to a select few who the gm wanted 2 be his successor when he died.
MOFOTOX you know shit all, William got taken down by Emin so easily because William was 71 yrs old at the time you idiot. Emin bagged Bas Rutten so Bas challenged him and Emin Chickened out saying it's silly to fight over who's better, Emin didn't even challenge William he attacked him from behind, anyone can do that especially to an old man. He can randomly jump an old man, but he will say it's silly to fight when it come 2 Bas Rutten?
How many here slagging off William Cheung have experimented hundreds of times in real life situations???? No one. Jones did. Granted Jones was much better then Cheung and later started his own school, but he told me that Cheungs traditional wing chun was much better in real fights.
LOL! The real life situations are when con man William Cheung faces Emin Boztepe and the six Thai Guys in Australia!!! What a joke!!!! Real life my ass! You are living a BIG lie but I understand. Just like a kid of a serial child molester finds it hard to accept his parent is a criminal!!!
Wow, ive never EVER heard a better anaolgy for what it feels like to find out that you've been conned and are living a lie then what you just said mofotox. William Cheung ass raped a style and ruined it, and in doing so he spawned a generation of horrible fighters.
Try to get what I said...your not listening. I'll use caps this time so it will sink in. LATE MASTER DEREK JONES OF ENGLAND WAS A CHAMPION PRIZE FIGHTER AND STREET FIGHTER....FACT. HE HAD HUNREDS OF REAL FIGHTS. HE TOLD ME CHEUNGS 'VERSION' WAS MORE EFFECTIVE IN HIS STREET FIGHTS WHETHER IT IS THE 'GENUINE' WING CHUN OR NOT. JONES WOULD HAVE SLAUGHTERED THIS EMIN CHARACTER.
sorry to be the one to tell you, but the cheung school blows. yea, it does work in the street against people with no training, but against a person from the right lineage you stand no chance. i dont give a fuck what derek jones told you, william cheung trys to tell everyone in the world that he's the only one who has tought the "correct" way, you have to be a moron to believe such bullhsit.
Look ,I dont really know anything about all this. Im just telling you what Jones told me. He got hurt a few times using the modified, he trained under Victor Kan for 8 years remember.
Anyone trains hard with determination can be a good martial artist (I don't like the term "fighter") REGARDLESS OF STYLE!!! What charlatan William Cheung teaches is totally against basic WC principles! He is disrespectful to Ip Man coning people into believing his "traditional WC"! A disgrace to the whole martial art community! If you believe his crap, you may as well believe I can teach killer BJJ technique STANDING UP! Don't be so gullible!
Whatever all you fuckers say about William Cheung, his 'traditional wing chun' is the much more effective in real situations and works much better then the 'modified'. The late Master Derek Jones studied under both Cheung and Victor Kan, he told me personally that Cheung's style worked in his prize fights.
If you even bother to do a little research, you will find con man William Cheung's bull crap is the "modified" and made up one! Just compare the video of Ip Man doing the first two forms. If his shit is so "effective", how come Willy got takedown by Emin Bozo so easily. How about that incident of the Thai guys? He was so afraid and chickened out!!! You been coned and living the biggest lie in your life!!! Time to wake up and find a legit teacher.
William Cheung is a disgrace to the whole WC community and may be to the whole martial art community as well. It bugs me that the association allowed him to demo his crap on stage as WC! May be everyone just gave him the courtesy since he did study with WSL. Shame!!!
I agree with absolutely everything you just said. I mean, if the guy is a true grandmaster, and wanted to showcase his skill for the whole world why move to austrailia to start your schools? Oh wait, because you blow and the people there wouldnt know any better
oh COMMON an attacker isnt gonna come at you that slow this demo doesnt prove shit and i seen this guy fights some other kung fu dude and he got beat up shaolin/yoga/MMA all the way
william cheung is a freaking joke. he raped the system of wing chun and totally ruined it. he missed many important aspects of the true system which is why he sucks and so do all of his students. They may do ok against ordinary people on the street who can't fight, but they will get mauled against a good wing chun practitioner.
Wing Chun and or other martial arts in this modern day is usually for helping people improve their lives in some matter. What is all this nonsense of people acting back and forth like children. Cursing out the other guy so he can pretend in his mind what he does is "right". Next time you get ready to act negatively towards someone, really ask yourself "why" you're doing it before you speak.
i have been training under one of master cheungs first students, i have had the honor of meeting him many times. i can tell you first hand he is the best fighter i have ever met. bruce lee said the same thing. so lets see your fighting video
This guy is the best in the world in "fighting". Very funny, he is the best in boasting. Selling releif creams and silly stuff to increase your punching power. This is nonsence. Train hard and that's it.

MMA is a sport, and as such has limitations, wing chuns

blah blah blah..... pure this,traditional that. just let it go! who gives a rats ass? the drunk 110 kilo redneck throwing punches at you couldn't care less. i am a full time student of hung suen wing chun and believe me,the person with the "correct"style of anything, is the one who still has his teeth inside his head when the fight is over. Arguing over crap like this is just ego stroking. give yourself a reach around.

Well said cripian74. It's about time someone cut to the chase and said something that wasn't horseshit on one of these posts.
As Bruce Lee stated, " A punch in the mouth is a punch in the mouth"...and also, " it doesn't really matter what technique you use as long as it scores"....and " I'm not worried about the guy that practices a million techniques. I'm worried about the guy who practices one technique a million times."

Ip Man had a big school with many disciples and he would used the trickle down system of teaching. He would only work out with the seniors (Si-hing) and in turn the class seniors would teach the juniors (Si-tai). Wong Sheng Leung was si-hing to both Bruce Lee and William Cheung. Leung Sheung was si-hing to Leung Ting. Other notable si-hings: Lok Yiu, Moy Yat, Tsui Sheung Tin, and Ho Kam Ming.

I think it is an incredible shame that foolish people have to speak ill of such an amazing man. A real martial artist will have a composed, spiritual mind and not compose himself in such a manner, take a leaf out of these real masters book.

i have heard that his man is a vegetable now.. and that he deserved the beating that emin gave him.. and MMA is for little sissie girls who like to mount other men. yeah i said it.

I can't help it I also think he isn't that good. I know he's supposed to be one of the best in VT but all the clips i've seem of him look sloppy, bad technique and look like they lack power. I may be wrong but it's just my opinion.
kenpopaul 5 years ago
The reason you may thin that the vids you've seen look that way is because he is much older now for one...but also many of the clips here were from an instructional video/DVD series which he did years ago but which he was on a plane from Australia..totally jetlagged and had appointements each day all over the USA...on opposing coasts and so on. As soon as he arrived at the airport he went right to city to make the vids and with no rest made back to back about 15 videos. he was exhausted.

kenpopaul, Further, if you wish to see him in some more recent but MUCH better vids...look on his website at the videos of his forms(sets really on those vid clips) etc... that he does which were filmed outside at his student Sifu Mazza's school in New Jersey. Fast...crisp...sharp...solid..great footwork and handspeed....and energetically done sets.

My sifu asked an ex professional Muay Thai and MMA instructor to teach us some of his skills. He did not look very skillful, but you could see he was in pain every time he tried to duck, kick, puch or knee. I don't know if he could've defeated sifu in his prime, but he definately can't beat him now. His shins are hacked, joints locked up and his back is sore. Whos better now?

I was told the videos Yip Man made were to help his sons learn he was to weak at the time to realy teach them. I have also found some new stuff on why Wing Chun was altered.

And yes, Theundies2, Yip Chun was taught incorrectly by his father because he was never very interested and serious about wing chun. Some say that Yip Chun didn't even begin training until after his father's death. Ofcourse if Yip Man lived a bit longer, or if Yip Chun because serious about his training, His father would've taught him correctly.
Renegade002 5 years ago
Wolf's statement is correct, all of Yip's students learnt modified (what he learnt from Chan Wah SHun) and THAT is why Leung Bik beat Yip man when they fought, because Yip was fighting modified (Leung Tings type) and Leung was fighting Authentic (William's type). The only people who learnt Leung Bik's Wc through Yip Man was William Cheung and Wong Shun Leung.
Renegade002 5 years ago
I've been told the true story from someone who new william cheung personaly: As is well known Yip Man was an opium addict and lived with a prostitute. W.C's father was chief of H.K police and basicly said to Y.M that he'd leave him alone, if he taught his son (W.C) the proper (back door) art and not modified.
bazonics 5 years ago
Chan Wah Shun learned was tricked into learning the modified Wing Chun and later taught Yip Man. Yip then went on and met Leung Bik who showed him the true system and told him he was the son of Chan Wah Shun's teacher he also told him the reason it was modified. Yip Man had two teachers but I can not say this story is true or not but it is possible. the full story is on cheungswingchun com under Yip Man.

wow moron, he's 65 now, so is 1984 would make him how old? 43 if i am correct? You are telling me thats too old to be fighting? shit ip chun is 85, hell even my own sifu is 55, there is no way around it, cheung blows, make up any excuses you want. trying to tell me he was 71 back in 1984? which would make him 93 now? jesus, read some shit before you go on here trying to tell everyone stuff.
Theundies2 5 years ago
And you're trying to tell me that ip man only taught his "real" wing chun to a few students? what about his son ip chun? do you honestly think that he wouldn't teach his own son the "correct" way according to you? NO! because you're a moron and you dont think about things before you say them. you just cant accept that cheung is a fraud, and i feel bad for you.
Theundies2 5 years ago
Actually I've realised William is 65, still to old to be fighting. And I am not bagging Ip man I am just stating facts, his students wouldn't know what they were paying for, could you imagine Ip Man saying, you can learn poor wc for a cheaper cost, or genuine wc for more money? I didn't make up the story, many sources tell that and I use to believe what you believe until I did a lot of searching for info and schools and I mean a LOT of searching.
Renegade002 5 years ago
If william is 65 now and the fight took place in 91'. William was only 50 at the time! Not old for an apparent Grandmaster, especially as Emin had only been training WT for 3 yrs at this time.

Good point about William being 71 years old. Man that really is pathetic for a young guy to attack him like that. Look at any old 70 year old boxers for example, even if they were champions in there time, no one would consider it fair for him to get in the ring and fight a young champion. Emin was pathetic to do that, he is not impressive, and he is a narcicistic weirdo who is up his own arse....thank you and goodnight.

mofotox 5 years ago
infact, Yip man was an opium addict and never wanted to teach his secrets, so he taught modified wing chun to everyone (for money) so he could supply his opium addiction. Yip man taught the authentic system to only a select few in this case people like wsl and william cheung who were great friends growing up. Even Bruce Lee learned the modified system and even Bruce had stories about Lt's double armed chisau getting wooped by Cheung's when they were young and training.
Renegade002 5 years ago
You stupid moron making up story that doesn't make sense!!! Why won't Ip Man teach the "authentic" WC to every one for EVEN MORE MONEY? It is a shame to embellish your credential faking forms to teach. It is out right unethical to de-fame Ip Man while boasting con man William Cheung! You are a shameless scum!!! Worse than Leung Ting!
mofotox 5 years ago
Yip man's action (teaching modified version) was perfectly logical in the old Chinese martial society - true arts can be passed on to only one person. And it was not unusual for master to spend a life time to find that right person. It is a form of respect, or even oath, to master's own teacher.

There are 2 systems in wc, modified and authentic, modified was invented to teach to people who were suspected of being manchurian spies in the quing dynasty, authentic was taught only to a select few who the gm wanted 2 be his successor when he died.

MOFOTOX you know shit all, William got taken down by Emin so easily because William was 71 yrs old at the time you idiot. Emin bagged Bas Rutten so Bas challenged him and Emin Chickened out saying it's silly to fight over who's better, Emin didn't even challenge William he attacked him from behind, anyone can do that especially to an old man. He can randomly jump an old man, but he will say it's silly to fight when it come 2 Bas Rutten?

Whatever all you fuckers say about William Cheung, his 'traditional wing chun' is the much more effective in real situations and works much better then the 'modified'. The late Master Derek Jones studied under both Cheung and Victor Kan, he told me personally that Cheung's style worked in his prize fights.

If you even bother to do a little research, you will find con man William Cheung's bull crap is the "modified" and made up one! Just compare the video of Ip Man doing the first two forms. If his shit is so "effective", how come Willy got takedown by Emin Bozo so easily. How about that incident of the Thai guys? He was so afraid and chickened out!!! You been coned and living the biggest lie in your life!!! Time to wake up and find a legit teacher.
