Im very interested in taking Wing Chun and have started doing some research as to where I can take it in my area (Toronto). A quick search on the internet shows a few schools but how do I know which teacher is good? I’m not trying to start a “flame” war, I think that is what its called, but I am merely asking out of ignorance. I am trying to make an educated decision and would appreciate some help with such a difficult choice. Would anyone know anything about : Danforth Wing Chun Kung Fu Toronto Wing Chun Kun Fu Academy Sunny Tang Wing Chun Kung Fu Wing Tsun Toronto How do you guys find a good school? Thanks Jubei ---

Sanjuro Hello Sanjuro, I am looking for a good teacher. Since doing my research into the art I have just been introduced to the politics of Wing Chun. So asking which school is good to learn from has the potential of sparking a lengthy “discussion” of whos kung fu is the best. I am not interested in arguing. I simply want an objective opinion on what they teach, how they teach and whatever info you guys think might help me make a good and informed decision. Jubei ---

Sanjuro Hello Sanjuro, What interests me in Wing Chun is its fighting application. I have read up on the concepts and principles and find them very efficient. This scientific approach to fighting interests me. ---

[QUOTE=Jubei1;1033687]Hello Sanjuro, What interests me in Wing Chun is its fighting application. I have read up on the concepts and principles and find them very efficient. This scientific approach to fighting interests me.[/QUOTE] I suggest you find one that fights, a lot and tests their system VS other styles. It will be easy to see this by taking a couple of classes or even watching some. Make your choice after that. I hear good things about Ryan Kennedy’s school, but I have never had the chance to visit. ---

Sanjuro Thanks for the tip. I agree with your statement. For that reason I’m looking into the Wong Sheung Leung lineage (thanks CFT). I have also read a lot of good things about the Moy Yat lineage. To my understanding he wasn’t much of a fighter but is very technical. What are your thoughts? I’m not that knowledgable about the differences in technique within different lineages, but it does interests me. I agree with the saying “ the devil is in the details” so little changes in how something is performed will change the outcome. Jubei ---

I did Moy Yat under Nelson Chan and Sunny Tang, Sunny was more “sparring oriented” but it really is more about the school than the style. WSL was a fighter, not all of his students were or even the students of the students, know what I mean? ---

Sanjuro I understand what you’re saying, not everyone has that temperament. I really appreciate you taking time to respond. If you don’t mind me asking? Are you training now? Jubei ---
