Speaking of Ip man:
"“But since I went to learn kung fu from him,he was just out of the hospital. he was weak and he was already 72 years old.
How can he show me something? So sometimes I made my arm so soft.”
Judge for yourself.

Been waiting for someone to mention this part of the article on this forum for a good month now!.:eek:

I revisited the Leung Ting interview in KF. It is basically marketing.
In some ways a standard format- someone pays for lots of advertisement in a mag and gets interviewed or articles.
I found part of it somewhat patronising and of course self serving.
Yuenfen,
How about Augustine Fong and his wing chun videos?
Laugh at yourself first, before anyone else can.
what i find interesting is that he suggests using the neutral ygkym…never lead with a front stance…well i have an ikf article with leung ting and boztepi from about 4 years ago that talks about leung ting modernizing wc…in a photo demo leung ting leads with a left front stance…just what he says is incorrect in the latest article…oooops
yes i agree that leung ting is a money maker but like williiam cheung has helped the spread of wc(?modified wc??) …and leung ting does admit what he is doing is his own wc…which at least he is honest about that if nothing else..lol…

Maybe he found a copy of David Peterson’s Wong Shun Lueng: Doing it the Wong way or something like that…wich Mr.Peterson if i recall correct mentions to not lead with the lead!..?
Good article!!
“Whether it ‘looks’ like stereotypical Wing Chun is irrelevent. I can tell you first hand that he is awesome . It demonstrates how wing chun is more than a style or art it is concepts that can be applied to many forms of fighting.”
That is one of the best posts ever on this forum…
But saying “so for him to be put in his place if he is emphasising wrong technique is certainly a good thing.” …well I guess you’re not up on what’s been going on or whatever. Wehen Emin was under Ting, He was Ting’s brightest best, “most technical” student etc etc blah blah blah. Now they split, he ‘sucks’. If you can’t see hypocrisy there (especially since HE TAUGHT HIM), then well I don’t know what to say.
