I reside in Kansas, and I am very serious about learning the traditional wing chun.
I was hoping to find a Sifu in the area or even near by (a state away possibly) of which I could train under.
I would be a diligent student, and my purpose for learning Wing Chun is to be able to defend myself in a fight efficiently, and for the ability to learn how to express myself freely. My focus in my training would be for real life encounters not in learning it as an art. I look to incorporate it as a piece of the foundation of my life.
Richard is a long-time student of mine, who moved to the Kansas area from San Diego, CA, a couple of years ago. He has been studying the Ho Kam Ming Wing Chun system from me since 1991, and is a very good practitioner. I think he would be worth your while checking out, and at least having a chat with.
