I spend a hot summers day playing around with some Hung Ga hands.

That was really cool and well made. It is also HILARIOUS how your video regarding Hung Ga has turned into a field for a vitriolic argument about the origins and nature of Wing Chun, just as so many of these vids turn into argument about race, lineage, race, training, and race. Did I mention race? Again, though, your vid was cool and I appreciate you posting it.

Thanks for the kind words Todd.

I have noticed some of the “interesting” things people like to post.

Personally I chose to focus less on what others do in order to put that attention on my own training and development. But that’s just me.;)

Very enjoyable to watch. Nice form, you're in great condition, everything looks good. Also great music. I'm mainly a kali-escrima and Wing/Chun/JKD guy but I've been studying Hung for about 7 years too and some day hope to be as good as you. Keep up the good work.

WOW! Thanks man, I do my best with the time I have. Sounds like you got your hands full with some excellent arts as well. Keep up the good training, and the random compliments ;)

Ha! i can't help it, tigers are just so cool!

it is the old L.A. Zoo

@aldridge1 You don't have to go off on a different tangent whenever I ask you a relevant question in order to try to coax an answer out of you that may help you see my point. You seem so ready to disagree with me on anything and everything. Seeing the comments on your channel I can only assume you've been pretty abrasive with others as well. If that's your reason for being here, that's fine. I now only wish to hear what you have to say about the proof wing chun was not a real person.

[shaolindrunk]

@aldridge1 whether yim wing chun existed or not, this kind of approach to sparring is inherent in genuine chinese kung fu, and the progression concerning use of force with eye, groin, and throat strikes. Is tried and proven. THAT was my point all along and the matter which I was hoping to discuss with you. Nevertheless, if a bit of research has substantial evidence to convince you that all kung fu lineages with wingchun, her teacher, or her kung fu aunts and uncles are all false. I'm interested

[shaolindrunk]

@aldridge1 I can not find his research, could you please point me in the right direction?

[aldridge1]

@shaolindrunk Read some the research undertaken by Sifu Alfredo Del-Brocco. Fact is the true origin of WC is debated and some believe the nun story is a misdirection. Either way I do not have an opinion on what the true origin is and I don't see the point in speculating on the training methods of someone who may or may not have existed.

[shaolindrunk]

@aldridge1 what varification do these accounts require? lineages from many different schools trace back to her as well as the venerable ng mui and aknowledge their existence. Why is it debatable? I don't know what you mean by kung fu fanboys and money. But I assure you, I don't want your money. If you disagree with the traditional approach to training effectiveness in eyestrikes, that's fine. But don't try to tell me that it doesn't work.

[aldridge1]

@shaolindrunk I don't speculate on how someone who may or may not have existed trained (yim wing chun's existance is debatable and widely considered a myth). Unvarified tales from the past which have suffered from many years of chinese whispers only serve to part kungfu fanboys from their money.

[shaolindrunk]

@aldridge1 Now if you don't mind me askin, how do you reckon yim wing chun and other wing chun greats in the past like methodologically practiced crucial combat skills with their eyestrikes, at a time when pads and eye protection were never part of kung fu training apparatus?

[shaolindrunk]

@aldridge1 but as I said before, seperate development of a technique or not, it's there. May I ask what technique you're referring to? Control is just as important a combat skill as any other, at least that's the way my school sees it. So yes, accidents are always a possibility, but the skill of the exponents actually engaging in free sparing in my school would be sufficient so that nothing horrendous would happen. Also, trimming fingernails is pretty essential as far as partner respect goes
