I have read in the intrnet …the Traditionnal WC of GM William Cheung have some Hung Yi fa WC …Does Gm Cheung learned the yip man system and the Hung yi fa WC???
I ask the questions since the system of GM Cheung look different of the others Yip Man WC ...
Both camps have discounted this possibility - if you searched back through historical threads you’ll find more information (and disinformation) about this and related subjects than any sane person would want to know.
You probably ought to do a bit more research than risk raising a subject that would lead to YAFW (yet another flame war) - unless of course that was your intention.
Hey Steeeve,
Yup, John Peluso is my Sifu.
I wouldn’t call myself a senior though, there are guys there with probably double the time I’ve got and they can mop the floor with me. I feel really fortunate to be a part of the school and lineage. There are some really good people from the other schools that I’ve met in our lineage as well.
The way I see it, the number of years that you’ve trained are equal to your age.
6 years of training = 6 years old (I’m still a baby)
From HFY oral traditions, the late GM Yip Man was not part of the HFY line. You can find the HFY generation line at www.hungfakwoon.com which the HFY official website and www.vtmuseum.org which has plenty of info on HFY for you to consider in your research.
The Hung Fa Yi Wing Chun lineage and the Traditional Wing Chun lineage are two separate lineages. Many similarities and differences can be drawn from one Wing Chun lineage to the next. Enjoy your training and thanks for the question.
Hello Steeeve,
Since the publishing of the book “Complete Wing Chun” most wing chun practitioners are aware of the differences and similarities between not only HFY and TWC but those of Chi Sim Weng Chun as well. The connection between the 3 have also been made by each individual lineage such as the newest one coming from Sifu Sergio Iadarola.
Dr. Leung Jan was the creator of Siu Nim Tau, Chum Kiu and Biu Tze. There is historical proof that Grand Master Leung Jan liked to simplify things. Proof of that is his creation a few years before his death of Gu Lo Wing Tjun. Again a simplification of Siu Nim Tau, Chum Kiu and Biu Tze and assimilating it in to one curriculum. The Gu Lo Wing Tjun system was so named after his native village of Gu Lo, where he spent the final years of his life after his retirement. http://www.wingtjun.nl/index.php?page=history
Some of the answer may lie in the fact that Chi Sim, HFY and TWC were practiced before the time of the red boats and so some or all of the stories reported through these lineages may or may not influence your own perspective of how and why certain systems appear to differ on the surface. http://www.hfy108.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=1747

I want to share the experience I have had so far in the Hung Fa Yi Wing Chun system. I originally have over 6 years experience in Yip Man Wing Chun, where I qualified as an instructor in May 2004. I have been training in the Hung Fa Yi Wing Chun Headquarters in America for 1 month. The experience has been very enjoyable… http://www.hfy108.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=1196&perpage=15&pagenumber=1
