Actually, Cheung knows Yip Man's Wing Chun very well, but was bright enough to realize the original system's shortcomings & so modified it in many ways which, believe it or not, has made Wing Chun much better as a street fighting Art. Just compare techniques & hand positions & how they are applied if you doubt me. Look at both systems logically and without prejudice. Don't base the sneak attack type fight he had with Boztepe & that he (Cheung) unfortunately was swept by Emin on a slippery floor.
Sad even after getting beat up very easily by a then novice Emin Boztepe, people are still Instructors under Cheung. William Cheung is a terrible fighter, his Wing Chun is poor and bears little relation to what Yip Man actually taught - just compare videos of Yip Man doing forms etc to Cheung doing them. People need to WAKE UP! - if you want to study his system no problem that is up to you, if you want to learn real street self defence AVOID Cheng WC likt the plague!
