2nd VTAA 'World Conference'
Apparently this happened on the 20th of November ... but I haven't seen any web pages with a review or summation of what went on.
Did anyone here attend? If so, can you share your experience ... or was there some kind of NDA along with the ticket price ;-)

If i didnt know better Id say you were a cynic Mr Idaho
 And as Oscar Wilde so rightly pointed out the cynic is a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing

If you don't wish to take the time to read through the whole thread, the original poster who began the topic ("Elder" from the UK) summed it up this way: "It gave me a wider picture of wing chun as a whole, and not really a good one. A lot of lineages like to put the emphasis on sport and fitness, some on health and 'chi'. The rest like only to perfect their chi sau. Very few I could identify with - those who emphasised fighting, self defence, actual.... y'know. MARTIAL." -L

Just what we needed: another form.
 And it's a compilation of what's already in the forms and wooden dummy.  For forms competition. Great! .........................................

Victor,
I know what you're saying, but for my money they're probably looking ahead to the Wu Shu at the Beijing Olympics. Lots of kudos and money to be made for successes there. The Federation of Kung fu and Wu Shu Organisations in Australia had its championships here a short time ago to select a team for the world championships, and they're definitely trying to ramp up for Beijing. Personally, I can't see WC ever becoming acrobatic and flashy enough to stand out, without major modifications.
