Hmmm, 'Sifu John', any idea who that might be, Weiland?

I have no idea. He wasn't one of the attendees of the get together for the many folks back on April 29 that I organized with the cooperation of San Jose Wing Chun, Joy, and Hendrik, and so many well-intentioned Wing Chun afficionados.

Also, the website he listed as his own seems more likely to be a misprint.

Just for the record, it'll be a cold day in hell before I append "sifu" to my name.

Still. If anyone went, I'd like to hear about their experiences.
