Blast From the Past

Well now, Terence will try to have his “revenge” after getting trounced the other day, now won’t he? :rolleyes: :cool: :smiley:

Like I really give a 5hit what “Mr. half-truth one-note-Charlie” thinks about anything. :eek: :wink:

He’s been trying to troll me here for a few weeks now about that bullshido thread. But the fact is, I do what I say I’m going to do, unlike “Mr. I’ll show you all a thing-or-two when I get to Cleveland” - and then he’s a no-show.

But I just won’t give in to Terence Niehoff.

So all I’m going to say about that thread is this: I received an email yesterday from the man who was going to be the boxer in the vid I want to do - apologizing for disappearing from class for the last 3 months - and promising to return soon.

At which point the vid will get done and get posted…here, and on bullshido.

End of story.

You can go into just about any boxing gym and get footage of yourself mixing it up with some of the guys.

Can you see how having to go only against a specific boxer who comes to your class affects any credibility that you might be trying to achieve?

the key to “proving” the effectiveness of anything is trying it against someone who has no interest in you as an individual, no investment in your looking good at the end of the day; it’s like therapy: you know it works when you can do it on a patient who is psychologically negative towards what you are doing (my favorite kind to treat, actually - I like to freak them out by treating them from across the room via verbal instructions as to what to do w/their breathing, eye movements, etc. - the worst thing you can do to a passive aggressive patient is show them that they can self-manage; oh the disappointment!)

the reality of effectiveness is generalizability and ease of transfer: the more rarified your approach, the more constraints on its function; even the Taoists would agree - truth lies in non-differentiation!

No, I don’t.

Because, as you’ll see when the vid is made, the guy is a really good boxer, and I’ll probably eat some punches. This will not be some one-sided complete domination. It will be clear that he’s not just some guy in the wing chun class who’s trying “to make like a boxer” - but who in fact has little or no real boxing skills.

And given his height, weight, and reach (he goes 6’0" tall and weighs 200 lbs. - to my 5’10"/170)…I"ll probably have to use some kicks and other moves as well as punches in order to get in and (hopefully) dominate the match.

And then maybe he’ll start using some kicks, knees, elbows, too - I don’t know. But the point is, he can really box, and, given that, and his size - I’m going to have use some longer range technique/strategy than simply “pure” wing chun…

in order to either score from long range and/or get to close range and try to dominate with wing chun - otherwise he’s going to pick me apart.

This is what I’ve come to see over the years, both working with him and with some other guys - all of whom are taller/and or heavier than me - and all of whom brought some skills from other styles to my school and then spent a significant amount of years training with me in wing chun.

What this vid will be intended to show is not just how “wing chun vs. boxing” will work out - but something way beyond that: I’m going to be trying to show why and how adding to wing chun will make it better…

hell, I might even go to full clinch and throw some stuff, or go for a takedown or a shoot, I don’t know.

I couldn’t do that if I walked into Gleason’s gym and asked to spar someone.

"You can go into just about any boxing gym and get footage of yourself mixing it up with some of the guys.

***NO, and for the following reasons.

It will be clear that he’s not just some guy in the wing chun class who’s trying “to make like a boxer” - but who in fact has little or no real boxing skills.

And given his height, weight, and reach (he goes 6’0" tall and weighs 200 lbs. - to my 5’10"/170)…I"ll probably have to use some kicks and other longer range moves (boxing straight leads, crosses, etc.) some “non-wing chun” footwork, and other things in order to get in and (hopefully) dominate the match.

And then maybe he’ll start using some kicks, knees, elbows, too - I don’t know. But the point is, he can really box, and, given that, and his size - I’m going to have to use some longer range technique/strategy than simply “pure” wing chun…

in order to either score from long range and/or get to close range and try to dominate with wing chun and whatever else - otherwise he’s going to pick me apart.

This is what I’ve come to see over the years, both working with him and with some other guys - all of whom are taller/and or heavier than me - and all of whom brought some skills from other styles to my school and then spent a significant amount of years training with me in wing chun.

I can see maybe 1 & 2 being possible but the last 2 points?

Back when I was learning how to fight with WC I did exactly this, went to boxing gyms in Chicago looking to spar. It was not as easy as knifeboy makes it seem. I was able to do it at 2 gyms but primarily because one of my training partners was a former pro boxer and he had to arrange things for me .

Things may be different now but back then ,over a decade ago , gym owners worried about things like liability issues and a host of other things so strangers just walking in off the street with no proof of experience were not just put into the ring with " KILLER" and allowed to go at it.

I had much better luck from the newspaper ads I ran looking for sparring partners from any and all styles to train with. Ended up with folks ranging from just out of prison crazy men to blackbet s of all types from boxers and MT folks to future BJJ blackbelts. If you can handle the crazies this is the way to go imho.

Victor, really, YOU more than anyone shouldn’t be talking about other people promising things and not delivering.

I posted that thread because it does present a different perspective, and as hard as this may be for you to understand since you NEVER will expose yourself to anyone or anything outside of your limited view since your ego is too fragile (why you won’t go to a boxing gym, MT school, or a BJJ school to spar), some valid points are made on that thread.

Good post.

My experience is that it is difficult to walk in off the street and just ask to spar with people in boxing, MT, or BJJ schools – that situation raises from their perspective all sorts of possible problems, ranging from they are dealing with a nutter, to whether you are physical prepared to do it and not get injured, etc. If you want to do it, the best way that I’ve found is to join their gym or class for a time. That builds trust and you get the benefit of the cross-training. And often you can ask for a bit of limited sparring as a bona fide before you join (“I just want to see what your guys can do”).

But, some MMA/BJJ places do have an open mat policy or special time reserved for it.

No, I don’t expect you could pull them off against someone who wasn’t your student and didn’t cooperate - even uncounsciously - with you. And that’s the point the people on bullshido and Dale is making. When you show it against one of your own students, your demo will always be tainted.

***ARE you kidding me, Niehoff?! You’re still trying to beat this horse? After becoming the famous Cleveland no-show?! :eek:

The guy who was telling us all winter one year about what great shape you were in, how realistic your training regimen is, and how you were going to show all of us what sparring was all about at the Cleveland event?! :smiley: :stuck_out_tongue:

And the loudmouth blowhard on numerous martial arts forums who repeats the same ol’ 5hit post-after-post, month-after-month, year-after-year?! :rolleyes:

Even Matt Thornton would have been bored to death, listening to you quote him word-for-word, ad infinitum, and ad nauseum. (Seemingly infinite posts, and the kind that makes people want to vomit). :eek:

And the guy who insults everybody within the wing chun world (except Robert Chu and his student, Alan Orr)…but has never had the balls to ever talk like that to someone’s face?! :mad:

The same Robert Chu who you claimed that you learned wing chun from - and then it comes out that you spent very little time actually training with Robert?! :slight_smile:

The same Niehoff who then posts endlessly about wing chun, disparaging things about wing chun he’s either never learned, or could never apply?! :rolleyes:

I have a better idea for you. Why don’t you go find a few more murderers and help them get out of jail and back on the streets?! That orta’ make your day! :o

You’re much more qualified to do that; after all, rubbing shoulders with sicko, dangerous men clearly helps you get over your lack of true self esteem. You then get to feel big and strong. Rough and tough. But it doesn’t really work, does it?!

You still know, as you’re so fond of telling us - that you’re not very skilled at anything. That is, you started saying that after becoming the famous Cleveland no-show. Before that, well…you were really going to show us a thing-or-two.

But really, at the end of the day, since you’re now so exposed on this forum - maybe taking your deceitful, blowhard act somewhere else and appearing less-and-less around here might be a good, judicious decision, counselor. :cool:

Victor, you keep bringing up the Cleveland thingy and I keep telling you that I told you before it was held that it was a waste of time if we didn’t have competent non-WCK fighters there – otherwise, it would just turn into another friendship seminar, and I had already been to one of those (which was essentially a waste of time). Go reread the thread, it’s there. And I never said I was going to show anyone “a thing or two.” You just make this sh1t up. Maybe you’ve been living with fantasy so long you can’t separate truth from fantasy; maybe it’s a case of whatever you want to believe is true, you believe is true.

I don’t claim to be anything other than a WCK practitioner who is doing his best to make his art work. I haven’t claimed anything otherwise. I’m very careful not to. Go find the posts if you say differently. You can’t. You say these things but can’t back them up with posts.

Your problem is that you can’t back up your views with either evidence or reason, and when this is pointed out, you get angry. You don’t like your views challenged. And that happens here and it happens at bullshido. And that’s why you won’t go outside your students to people and places that will challenge you. It’s great to be sifu and stay in your little pond.

Your latest outburst was caused when you posted a link to a video clip of Cheung talking about how useless and silly the chi gerk exercise is and I responded by pointing out he didn’t know what he was talkng about and that his fight with Boztepe showed he didn’t know how to use his legs on the inside (which is what the chi gerk exercise teaches). God forbid anyone question Cheung! Or you!

You go on to criticize about how much time I spent with Robert – something of which you know nothing (which seems to be your SOP). Not only that but it shows that you don’t understand the nature of WCK training. Application is your sifu. Hawkins was once asked if Yip man taught him the footwork and Hawkins replied, “Yip Man didn’t teach me the footwork, my opponents taught me the footwork!” He’s quite right and his off-hand statement is very profound. I don’t expect you to understand it.

You also don’t like that I am a criminal defense attorney. What has that to do with anything? That you bring it up I submit says more about you and your insecurities than it says about me.

Guys,

Just as a side note, since this issue has been brought up by some people. I don’t want to get involved in any arguments, but I do want to say although Terence trained briefly with me, I taught him all that was relevant and pertained to WCK, that I knew at that time. I went through my entire WCK curriculum with him on the 3 forms, Jong, pole and knives, the complete Gu Lao points, Chi Sao, body structure, applications of each move of the form, positioning, timing, applications against other systems, how to train with equipment, transitioning to weaponry or grappling, jointlocking, throws, freefighting, footwork, teaching drills, and other things. WCK can be taught in a very short period of time, but to perfect it requires much practice and time.

My goal is to teach as thoroughly as possible, and have the student go on from there. I’m no mercenary, but when I teach, I don’t hold back. If I know things, I tell you, show you and have you feel it. If I don’t know something, I say I don’t know, I never BS a student. Terence flew me to St. Louis where I met his group, and he has a talented group of fighters who train regularly with him. Some of them are very advanced.

Prior to him studying with me he had already learned much of the Wing Tsun curriculum and knew the Australian TWC curriculum as well. He’s very good and trains very hard, and has good insight. Perhaps teaching in this way may not be traditional, nor does a student stay with me all the time, but at least I have given him the tools to work and develop for himself. And perhaps my failure is I do not put philosophical dogma on a student by teaching him a “kung fu life” or try to control them, or force them to accept my worldview. I hope you understand, although he learned briefly, I held nothing back.

Although I’ve never met T is person, you can recognize in what he has to say that he knows a thing or too about fighting. I’ve read a couple of his articles that he wrote years ago on body structure and the such, and it was obvious then that he knows quite well what good WC is. I recognized this in my Ernie as well, we used to have offline chats and I realized then that what he was talking about was higher level ideas and concepts, which in the end made me want to travel to LA to train with him and Sifu Lam. My only problem with T is his rudeness towards others on the forum, some more tact may be needed on his part to avoid further conflicts with people.

I’m sorry, Robert, but I’m not buying this at all. He spent a very limited amount of time with you - but somehow you managed to teach him everything that’s relevant about wing chun - that you knew of - at the time he was with you!? Which was decades after you actually started in wing chun! :rolleyes:

How much can one REALLY learn about a system in 2 weeks of training, for example, Robert?! :cool: Do you know what I’m talking about? You can cover all the theories in a geometry course in a few weeks, right Robert?

But without the constant oversight of a skilled teacher who is always explaining, drilling, testing - over the course of a much longer period - just how much geometry can one actually understand and apply?!

The same is true with martial arts.

In short, you’re just trying to cover up his a55 since he’s clearly become a major source of embarrassment. :eek:

I’m not going to be fooled about this, Robert. Sorry…:cool:

If he was any good, and after all the big talking and criticizing he’s done for years now - he would have posted at least one video of himself by now,

doing…s-o-m-e-t-h-i-n-g…related to wing chun/martial arts.

But alas: nothing. Not one single thing. That silence speaks volumes.

In addition, and as an aside to the whole forum - as I said on a recent post, it’s unwise and unfeasible to try and answer everything that someone like Niehoff may decide to post.

Because his posts are so numerous and so deceitful (ie.- here he is once again trying to deny that he obviously punked out of the Cleveland event).

I believe my work about Niehoff is done for awhile - and I will try my best to continue discussing relevant wing chun/martial art issues…

instead of being hijacked thread-after-thread by an insecure, jealous and arrogant liar who tries to pretend that he’s some sort of expert about what’s good wing chun - what’s not…what’s good martial arts - and what’s not.

In reality, he’s just a wannabe bigshot lawyer who specializes in getting violent criminals out of jail and back on the streets - when he isn’t all over the internet trying to burn people with insults and make-believe wing chun/martial art knowledge and make-believe skill sets of his own.

There was a time, for example, when Niehoff made literally dozens (if not close to 100) posts wherein he was quoting Matt Thornton literally word-for-word.

I mean, really, what’s that all about? How can you take a guy like this seriously?

You can’t. He’s a friggin’ joke. Trying to pose like he’s actually “somebody”. Like he actually knows/has a high level of wing chun knowledge and skill.

He doesn’t. Not even close to high level. AND THAT’S WHY HE SPECIALIZES, WHEN ON THIS FORUM, IN TRYING TO TEAR WING CHUN (AND WING CHUN PEOPLE) DOWN.

If he’s not in some sort of dominant position - then he wants to see it burn. And he wants to try and cut people off at the knees. Let’s take William Cheung as an example. William was 43 years old at the time of the 1984 seminar wherein this thread’s first post and first video began.

And Niehoff, from what I can gather, is now in his mid-forties. You were at that 1984 seminar, right, Robert? And Niehoff constantly tries to hurl nasty insults at people like William Cheung, right Robert? Now what do you think would have happened between a 45 year old William Cheung (then) and a 45 year old Terence Niehoff (now)?

In about 20 seconds, or less…

Get it? This a55hole needs to be put in his place. And as he’s made it crystal clear on numerous occasions on this forum that that kind of thing could (would) never happen up close and personal…

then what’s left?

He occasionally has to be “beaten down” right here, on a forum like this - for his outrageous disrespect and insolence against people who are far ahead of him.

By being exposed as the FRAUD that he really is.

Like what I’m doing right now.

[/QUOTE]

Again, you don’t know what you are talking about or how much time I spent with Robert. You’re once again making sh1t up.

The other thing is you don’t understand training. You don’t need “constant oversight” of a teacher – and for that matter, how would the “constant oversight” of someone who isn’t particularly skilled, like Cheung, help you? You don’t become a better golfer by haviing the “constant oversight” of a bad golfer. What you NEED instead of “constant oversight” is the same things you NEED in every athletic activity/sport – just to learn the fundamentals and then a lot of practice “playing the game” with good people. That’s how you get better.

Oh, and btw, this is so typical of you – the pot calling the kettle black. You are learning catch through video tape! Where is the “constant correction” that you think so necessary? Hmmm? Does this apply to just everyone else but not you?

In short, you’re just trying to cover up his a55 since he’s clearly become a major source of embarrassment. :eek:

I think I’ve become a major source of annoyance to you.

I’m not going to be fooled about this, Robert. Sorry…:cool:

But you are fooled by so many other things . . . hitting with the fingers, the TWC entry technique, pressure point striking, Cheung’s reputation, etc.

If he was any good, and after all the big talking and criticizing he’s done for years now - he would have posted at least one video of himself by now,

doing…s-o-m-e-t-h-i-n-g…related to wing chun/martial arts.

But alas: nothing. Not one single thing. That silence speaks volumes.

It says that I’m not some moron that wants to put videos of myself up on the 'net for ego gratification. As I said previously, you don’t see videos of Robert on youtube or Dave/Dzu on youtube, etc. Alan puts up videos sincehe is selling a product.

Apparently you like putting up videos showing how much you don’t know about WCK. That’s not my bag.

In addition, and as an aside to the whole forum - as I said on a recent post, it’s unwise and unfeasible to try and answer everything that someone like Niehoff may decide to post.

Because his posts are so numerous and so deceitful (ie.- here he is once again trying to deny that he obviously punked out of the Cleveland event).

I believe my work about Niehoff is done for awhile - and I will try my best to continue discussing relevant wing chun/martial art issues…

instead of being hijacked thread-after-thread by an insecure, jealous and arrogant liar who tries to pretend that he’s some sort of expert about what’s good wing chun - what’s not…what’s good martial arts - and what’s not.

You have posted many more times than me. What does that say about you?

And, as I’ve said before, I don’t hold myself out to be an expert. I don’t think there are any experts in WCK (this is the sort of thing that p1sses you off sinceyou consider yourself an expert).

In reality, he’s just a wannabe bigshot lawyer who specializes in getting violent criminals out of jail and back on the streets - when he isn’t all over the internet trying to burn people with insults and make-believe wing chun/martial art knowledge and make-believe skill sets of his own.

Why do you keep bringing upmy profession? What has that anything to do with this?

There was a time, for example, when Niehoff made literally dozens (if not close to 100) posts wherein he was quoting Matt Thornton literally word-for-word.

I never quoted Thornton word-for-word. You’re making things up again. You’re good at that. Thornton is a very good, proven fighting coach – and there aren’t many who share their views as he does. While I don’t agree with everything he says (he thinks, quite justifiably IMO, that WCK “is silly”), we in WCK would do a whole lot better listening to people like Thornton who not only have very good fighting skills and who have trained some world class level fighters, then to listen to people who have no proven fighting skills or coaching skills.

I mean, really, what’s that all about? How can you take a guy like this seriously?

You can’t. He’s a friggin’ joke. Trying to pose like he’s actually “somebody”. Like he actually knows/has a high level of wing chun knowledge and skill.

He doesn’t. Not even close to high level. AND THAT’S WHY HE SPECIALIZES, WHEN ON THIS FORUM, IN TRYING TO TEAR WING CHUN (AND WING CHUN PEOPLE) DOWN.

You don’t like criticism and you can’t handle criticism. If you can back up your views with evidence or reason, then criticism won’t bother you. You don’t like it that I point out the nonsense, the fantasy, etc. that permeates WCK. Your Cheung clip is a perfect example of that – here is a guy touted by you, talking about how silly chi gerk is, showing that he doesn’t even understand what the drill teaches and in the only fight we’ve everseen him in, he obviously doesn’t know what to di with his legs on the inside and gets taken down because of that. You have no good response to the criticism. So all you can do is tell everyone one what an @sshole I am.

If he’s not in some sort of dominant position - then he wants to see it burn. And he wants to try and cut people off at the knees. Let’s take William Cheung as an example. William was 43 years old at the time of the 1984 seminar wherein this thread’s first post and first video began.

So what? At age 43 you suddenly forget what to do with your legs on the inside and begin to do stupid things? Or maybe his “advanced age” is what made him go around the world calling himself “the world’s best fighter” and “wing chun’s best fighter” and challenging everyone? :wink: Or, is it because atage 43, he wasn’t anything special, wasn’t particularly skiled, and there was a lot about WCK he simply didn’t know?

And Niehoff, from what I can gather, is now in his mid-forties. You were at that 1984 seminar, right, Robert? And Niehoff constantly tries to hurl nasty insults at people like William Cheung, right Robert? Now what do you think would have happened between a 45 year old William Cheung (then) and a 45 year old Terence Niehoff (now)?

In about 20 seconds, or less…

Victor, your hero never had much in the way of fighting skill. He never fought anyone good. He fought with other teenagers when he was a teenager. Back in 1984 Cheung, like the rest of the big names, had only one thing that made them special – they knew WCK. There was hardly anyone around who knew it and could teach it. These guys weren’t giants and great fighters – they were the guys that learned from Yip, they were among the very fewwith that limited resource, and they cashed in on the Bruce Lee phenomena. That’s all.

Get it? This a55hole needs to be put in his place. And as he’s made it crystal clear on numerous occasions on this forum that that kind of thing could (would) never happen up close and personal…

then what’s left?

If this is a beating down, let the beating continue! I am in a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.

Re: St. Louis Wing Chunner


I heard of him. But don’t know where he is. He learn Wing Chun from Sifu Robert Lee MacField and Mau Chang. The Lineage is Yuen Kay San. Very effective.

I know of Yip Man school in St.charles though…I also know where some people who are related to Mau Chang Yuen Kay San Wing Chun practice at in University City. I go that often to increase my skill in Wing Chun and learn more Theory and Application…

Just to be clear, I never “learned” or trained with McField or Ma Chang (Eddie Ma) and don’t practice YKS WCK (and I could make a rather good case that neither do they).

You know, fellas…I’m proud of myself this morning. I logged onto the KFO and saw that Niehoff has made two new posts on this thread - and I actually had the resolve not to read one word of them.

Because I’m sure it’s the same old crap, trying to beat other people down through jealousy, and in denial about who and what he’s all about.

Ah yes, Life is Good!!! :smiley:

Some more about wing chun - and less about one man’s overblown arrogance…

Here’s another one, but I recommend watching it with the sound off (the music is horrible) - and the video quality is not the best. But again, the longer range boxing moves and footwork did quite a bit to neutralize the wing chun infight - and the fighters are all about the same size.

Ill give you that the boxers did score shots but so did the chunnas. And from what I saw the boxers were still on the retreat more than on the advance.

Also, my opinion is that niether the boxing or the Chun was all that good in the video. We can all debate the Chun but the best boxing was done when the two boxers were against each other. The two boxers threw more combos. But they kept thier hands way to low and wasted opportunites to score more hits. My opinions come from the fact that I train boxing with Ali and his boxers 3 times a week. This includes sparring for 4 rounds, 3 minutes per round.So I am not just throwing opinions out there. But I am not the authority.:smiley:

I am also wondering why only one guy had headgear and the other didnt? Either both or none would have been more appropriate.

These are just my opinons and not everyone will agree. I dont expect them to agree. I apologize in advance if anyone gets peeved. Tensions are high in the forums lately…:stuck_out_tongue:
