If Bruce Lee had never happened and Wing Chun and Jeet Kune Do had never become such popular martial arts, what system of gong fu do you think should represent gong fu to the world?
There already is one; Taiji quan. Worldwide, there are more people who do Taiji than Wing Chun.
Central Kuoshu in Nanjing was established in the early 1900’s as well as Jing Mo.
In the 1940’s Wu-Shu was already being instituted in Chinese schools.
So, perhaps wu-shu and sanshou.

Are you saying Wu-shu began before the cultural revolution and the machine gunning of some 15,000 gong fu masters? Wow. I didn’t know that. The Chinese government really didn’t want any competent martial artists who could challenge it! Deep.

With no wing chun, the world would be a better place.

There are plenty of other “martial” arts I’d get rid of first starting with wushu.

Coming from a tai chi practitioner that’s pretty laughable. But if you insist I’ll dispatch my ninjas

Wing Chun is fat and even more passive aggressive than taichi.

What do you mean by wushu? Was wushu a specific style back then?
The government was never afraid of martial artists. Abolishing martial arts had more to do with the national identity of a people.
What is passive aggressive? It is a contradiction of terms I think. You know, there are very few if any real gung fu fighters on this forum. I think it is more a fantasy forum really. Wing Chun is probably the only real true fighting art that is represented by this forum, and most of what I see is just a chi sao compitition rather then a fighting system. I think that is why people look at it with such a jaundiced eye. I lay that off on Ip Man for teaching it to white folk.
Passive aggressiveness is expressing negative or destructive emotions in a subtle or indirect way. And you are right…chi sao and push hands are very prone to passive aggressiveness. This is one of the many lessons I learned in China, never accept a “push hands” match from a stranger. It’s a good way to get sucker punched. Offering a sparring match will usually be answered with accusations of being violent and possibly getting the cops called on you.
This is why I like Sanda. Two people can have a clean, safe place to test their skills and know exactly where their skill stands.
