Being a Wing Chun Sifu Sucks!!!!!

A surprisingly meaningful and calm post from you, Anerlich!

Thanks. I have some more meaningless and vitriolic ones waiting in the wings for later release :smiley:

No one can say that you are not balanced! Ha! Ha!

I taught them all I got and for a symbolic price(20$ a month for 1 or 2 lessons a week!) for at least three years.They where also my training partners as my sifu is living at two hours from my place and I see him only once a month.Well two of them left me with no thanks probably thinking that they where now good enough!No news whatsoever!..This makes me think about all that teaching business.Is a friendly relation possible when teaching?..I know now that I won’t give my wing chun to anybody for a “friendly price” ever

C’est la vie!

I wrote that?..:smiley: It’s been some times.I still teach but now,I have a nice group of students.People come and go but the core of my class (15 of them ) are very good to me and are making good progress.I have fun teaching and…As long as the club’s rent is paid!..I still visit my Sifu on a regular base and plan to continue for as long as he will be able to stand my french montrealer accent when I speak english!..

I thought that you would like that Old Jong

J’ai pensé que vous voudriez cela, Old Jong. Désolé pour le mauvais
Français.

Hey Vyvial!
Votre français est excellent! Merçi pour cette attention.
Laissez-moi vous dire que votre apport dans ce forum est grandement apprécié.

Hey Vieux Poteau :slight_smile: <—that’s french for Old Jong, well kinda.

Au moins vous pensez ainsi mais vous êtes très bienvenu. J’espère que je ne dérange pas trop d’enfants en bas âge.

Vieux poteau!!!:smiley: Au moins il est encore bien ancré dans le sol!..:wink:

Tes commentaires peuvent déranger certains qui doutent de leur Wing Chun et qui tentent d’en colmater les failles avec des techniques prises à gauche où à droite parmi d’autres arts.
C’est très humain de faire comme ça dans un sens.
Beaucoups d’enfants ne grandissent jamais!

Hey Old Jong and Vyvial and crowd— erom koro kano. Janona prithivi te kotho rokhom bhasa ache.?

Oups! …Sorry um das! …I hat vergessen dieses Forum ist normalerweise auf englisch. :eek:
Tenterò di non di dimenticare nel futuro…:wink:

Old jong- achha, dhonyobad!!!

he French contributed much to the English language-
but in America they haven’t spoken it in years.

I was laughing my head off watchinga subtitled Hindi movie
( my language is bengali)).. Indian movies have to have songs…
and then came the (mis?) translation of a song from a boy supposedly in love witha girl…

""Oh you are a real fairy…!!

este possible?

I’m glad this thread was brought to the fore again - it’s certainly more interesting IMO than the “Your school sucks and I’m gonna kick your ass” or “I found some flan in a dumpster yesterday” threads.

My only motivation for teaching commercially would be to support myself enough that I would be able to practice and teach all day, rather than being at some stupid office job all day, then practicing for 2 hours at night.

Kemon achho?..dhonnobad for your answer!..abar dakha habe.
Don’t leave home without it!..:wink:

Wow-Old Jong.
There is hope for a cosmopolitan world!!

Hey Joy!
I could learn to speak bengali on line!..The internet makes the world smaller by every day!
There is still some good beside all this crap and porno.

Old Jong.

“Au moins il est encore bien ancré dans le sol!” –> At least it is still well anchored in the ground! is that close?

What’s wrong with all the crap and porno?

It could not be closer Vyvial!
…I have to admit there is some good crap and porno out there!..:wink:

Oh come on.. because el stupidos are fooled by Indian name abbreviation- JOY- i get a couple of breast enlargement offers daily- !!

I get these viagra offers all the times.I don’t need it ,I swear!..[SIZE=4]I’m telling you!..[/SIZE]

Beware the student simulcrum. The student is not you.

The dedication to keep training rests with the individual not the sifu.

The drop out rate is so high because that is the way it is in any choice made in any perspective of ones life (sport, hobby, profession, etc).

Some go, some never to return, some to return and possibly add to your own knowledge (not necessarily WC), few stay.

I graded for my twc gold sash recently after many years of training. Reflecting on this after receiving my sash I commented that to me the kung fu is a way of life not because of the passion I hold for the art but more so for the long term friendships I have forged during those years.

Many of these people have left the style altogether, some have left for another and still fewer are sifus but all hold my respect.
