Woooo New Zealand *fist pump*

@alirahim1 We have generals and captains in our armed forces that never seen combat before they retired from the military and Canada as well, should they be stripped of their rank because of that? Or will their knowledge and understanding of war keep them a float, if not; then ‘West Point’ should be pointless…

[alirahim1]

@alirahim1 I’m very curious, how many "real fights" or “combat” confrontations would it take for one to become a master?

[alirahim1]

@alirahim1 I’m sorry dear brother but it’s so hard to follow you with all the contradiction –or – when you say something, but mean something else, it’s just hard to follow; which makes me believe you when you say the system is hard to explain.

@alirahim1 I don’t understand, you said on another clip that If someone was to push me while I was in yee jee kim yang mah, that there is no way that I could hold that stance… I didn’t, but I had some student that did; who only trained with me for three years, if 99% of the Yip Man’s population of wing chun is not that hard or complicated, then why did you said that it was not possible to do (the stance)?

[alirahim1]

@alirahim1 I'm very sorry you never posted your age anywhere on the web, so I hadn’t any idea on how old you were. Far as fighting in combat to be a master is just not common in this day and age, you do that (combat) just to be a master in something; you will end up in prison

@Metacool416 Yip Chun and his brother (the sons of Yip Man) admit that they were not in any street fights, but made fantastic practitioners in the wing chun system. And everyone recognized them as some the most informative masters in the system.

In regards to my years of experience, I am 27 now, and have studied since I was 17, as far as I am concerned you've been practicing Wing Chun longer than I've been living, so please do not place me on a higher pedestal than you, I am really and modestly undeserving of such appraisal. Although my experience in Wing Chun is obviously alot more varied than yours, your experience is still surpasses mines in terms of depth and longevity.

I've been taught all the forms of Sil Lum Tao, Biu Jee and Chum Kiu, however knowing all those forms is not mastery(and I am NO master by any means) for me personally I feel that the mastery is in actual combat. In the Cheung Lineage I was taught all the hard stuff first; footwork, Chum Kiu, the other various forms etc and than I was taught the easier things.

@alirahim1

trust me it's not as complicated as you make it out to be, among the mainstream Yip Man lineages, the differences are quite minor and almost TOO trivial to mention, it's all Wing Chun, however with the Cheung lineage, the transitional period is a bit longer because the improved adjustments in that system are quite substantial, with that said if you yourself were too train in that system you'd learn it alot faster because your foundational base in Wing Chun has already been laid
