Its heartening to see people of all races gather for good activities where evry1 are brothers and there is no hating

[Meadras]

Well, if you have the will and compassion to work hard and become a master of martial arts, then you will have too much compassion to go around causing trouble and hurting others. Therefore, the ones who go about making trouble are generally the weaker ones

Yes, and he is even more arrogant now than he was then...

[iprimateman]

@beavercontrol I don't really see your point. Just because he's wearing nice clothes doesn't mean he's less genuine about his training in wing chun than any other.

@Skillking22 he just meant its more obvious, back when this aired a lot of people still saw kung fu as a sort of dance. Wing Chun tends to be more direct even in appearance.

@sihingalkan Uh...huh?

[OakIslandBandit]

@ruan13o Lots of people learn wrong,like nature,we all are born soft,when we get older,our bodies can learn hard and fast.Latter on,we get soft again.IMHO,to many people train this system soft without even knowing anything hard in a fighting way,they degrade the system seeing and training only one side of WC/VT/WT

[WestSideCoolidge]

The teacher Simon Lau seems like a good guy, and in very good shape.....

@beavercontrol Without Bruce's skill and grace and abilities, just a monkey performing tricks.

[Taud]

@vader19907 ip man is dead and his only son ip chun is over 85 years old and has not named a successor to his school....

[beavercontrol]

At 1:12 watch how Simon Lau swaggers into his coon as if he thinks he's Bruce Lee with the bofoon hair & the leather jacket!

[Skillking22]

"There is no doubt that Wing Chun is focused on training fighters."

WTF. All martial arts are meant to train fighters. The commentary sucks.
