Hendrik,
Congratulations on being mentioned by Sergio and whilst I agree with some of his thoughts regarding White Crane I can’t comment on Wing Chun so I won’t.
However and coming back to matters Crane in nature, I have written to you both privately and on the forum to share what info you may have on this art and yet you refuse to do so. I have given you the avenue of contacting me direct via email so you don’t have to past such info on the forum if you don’t wish to and yet still you refuse??? I am sorry but I don’t get it and I’m a little put off by your unwillingness to share even privately when you post most of your views in such a public matter such as on this forum.
A simple explanation would suffice mate! If you don’t, won’t or can’t share because you don’t have the info then that’s cool … just say so! It’s not that hard brother!

It is your free will to ask
And it is my free will to response as I like.
No one owe anyone anything.
Whatever were or to be published in magazine such as WCI or Italian New Martial Hero magazine you have to buy from them. You are asking me to violating the magazine law to email you the articles in your previous post , why do I have to do that?
I have given you direction instead of ignore you. So, appreciate what you get. I don’t do violating law and private stuffs because I treat everyone equal and open to public.
I don’t mind to help and share information, however, I am not going to response to any unreasonable demand from anyone.
Hendrik is not a “researcher” of any sort. He’s just a superstitious man with strong opinions based on some writing which he can’t confirm or show helps in developing fighting skills. He then shared his opinions with Sergio, and now they both believe they know the “facts” on wing chun “DNA”. That’s all there is to it.

You always free to make your opinion.
While sifu Sergio and other WCK sifus have already had the facts of SNT and the DNA of Wck works for them now.
Sorry, too late for you to speculate, many wcners have brought the 1850 Wck technology back to this era.
To those who is interested on what the 1850 technology can do for you, it practically improve your SNT big time. Please watch next week Sifu Sergio Channel for part two . You don’t have to believe in anything Sergio or me says, try and verify it for yourself.
Hebdrik,
1/. I am not asking you to violate any laws!
2/. You have stated that you have other info from other sourcres other than that of “Magazine” articles which for the most part are hardly truths unto themselves. It is this I am interested in.
3/. You have posted here several times the writings of others … may I suggest you may have broken your own code and violated laws as you put it!
4/. You have no qualms with posting the writings of the Snake/Crane Wing Chun people. You have no qualms with posting an image from a copyrighted magazine. You have no qualms about posting Sergio’s stuff … seriously dude you can’t have it both ways!
Hendrik stop being so defensive and stop being so elusive. If you want to be taken seriously as a Wing Chun person or even simply as a person stop with the games and vague references. Share your information as you have the wonderful opportunity of giving back to the art which has gave so much to you. To not do so is a great crime to the art!
Your view is taken.
Please respect my freedom and my decision.
Thanks and appreciate.

Sergio hasn’t been batting a very good average these past years with his ‘research’. There are several times where he’s come out with the ‘new wing chun truth’ only to find later he’s been duped. This is just another instance of the same.
My post from another thread regarding Sergio on this latest 'results, ‘facts’ and best guesses:
[QUOTE=JPinAZ;1262528]He (Sergio) has a history of coming to conclusions only to realize he was either mistaken, or lead astray like a lost puppy.
Example: he had his time where he was running around with Chi Sim GM for a year or so riding the “Wing Chun is Weng Chun, Weng Chun is Wing Chun” bandwagon - until he found out he was fooling himself (or being fooled).
Then he get tied up with the Black Flag nonsense and started mixing in their 18 lohan stuff thinking it was wing chun. Then realized he was fooled yet again and it had nothing to do with wing chun at all. (yet he still teaches that stuff in his WC… :rolleyes:)
I’ve also seen sergio’s article in Wing Chun Illustrated last year where he attempts to describe heaven/human/earth & time/space/energy concepts, which are clearly HFY concepts as only HFY teaches these methods in WC or speaks of them. I read the article and he clearly is just taking guesses - yet he still wears shirts with these HFY concepts on them. He also listed no sources and gives no real examples of anything, even when questioned on social media.
And now he’s clamped onto this new stuff Henrik is fumbling around with that he’s calling ‘facts’ (without any verifiable evidence). And it won’t be long until Sergio realizes it for what it is. But, I do give him credit for one thing - he’s a go-getter. If even a misguided & often-times a foolishly gullible one. :o[/QUOTE]
You’d think he would have learned his lesson by now..

Hendrik,
Hold on a minute … I’m not the one coming on this forum publishing vague references to so-called knowledge “only I have” and then fading away from verifying or sharing that so well “self-publicized knowledge” when properly and fairly called upon to do so!
Stop Hendrik. Stop making claims, writing copious amounts here on this esteemed forum and then refusing to take those claims further by refusing to share your “discoveries!”
If you want to be taken seriously then you have to give of yourself. Not write this or that and then refuse to elaborate any further!
Either you know and will share or you don’t know and cannot share what you don’t have.
Man I am trying to help you here Hendrik. Really, your attitude is not doing you any great favors!
Post #4… That’s really all there is to it!
All this posting by Hendrik seems to be aimed at one thing … some sort of recognition and validation of his “theories”, writings and youtube vids. It seems more about him getting his rocks off being “recognized” for his writings and statements than it does about actually furthering Wing Chun as an art!
If he gets people like Sergio to “recognize” his writings then it validates him as a person and I think Hendrik is one individual who seeks, no, needs this type of validation to feel worthy.
He feels this will place him in a special and honorable position within the Wing Chun community as someone “special” who discovered the “Real Wing Chun” (Whatever that is!) which is why he posts ad-nauseam here on this forum with his “discoveries” (in reality his views).
He feels this will show him as one of the few who knows real Wing Chun. That people who were critical of him will now be forced to acknowledge him … again his need for validation.
He is so obsessed with 1850’s Wing Chun, with Snakes & Cranes that he is missing out on the wonders and enjoyment of simply doing the art for himself.
Personally, I find his obsession very sad in what must be a lonely form of existence.

Leaving Hendrik’s personality aside for a moment the thing about all this that I find weird is the confusion with the history of wing chun which is one thing and wing chun itself. The history is not the art. The history of boxing or wrestling for instance is not boxing or wrestling it is not the activity or the art TODAY. The so called historians flit around and do these long lectures about history as though it is somehow meaningful to what we do today. Any martial art HAS to adapt evolve change modify. This is what it means to be alive. This is what all our wing chun past masters have done from Leung Jan to Yip Man to the modern guys like Orr or Bayer or Ting or fill in your name. Advancement in the art is not found by looking backward but by looking forward.

Better to comment on Hendrik’s posts or ignore them rather than commenting on him (example-“getting his rocks off”)/
Agreed, but then he posts on others saying they don’t know or do “Real Wing Chun” (Whatever the hell that is!) .. I am just trying to shine a small light on why he posts the way he does i.e offering a snippet of opinion here and there but never backing it up with actual solid, factual proof.
This trying to comment on Hendrik’s post’s and seeking answers is much akin to a dog trying to chase it’s tail … it simply goes round and round on one spot never really going anywhere new.
Many have written of their frustrations with Hendrik on this level.
If Hendrik wants to be taken seriously the n why not simply answer the questions put to him instead of the usual 1850’s, snake & crane talk. Lets see some real exchange of real information and then I am sure Hendrik would be given his due.

Given the passive-aggressive tone of your posts- I don’t expect a reply to your posts from Hendrik.
[QUOTE=tc101;1262862] Advancement in the art is not found by looking backward but by looking forward.[/QUOTE]
Exactly. To believe that you can go back to some original form in search of the ultimate WC is a fool’s quest.
…That said, I do find the history of the art interesting, and even useful in helping me try to move …forward!
“Passive - Aggressive?” … Isn’t that just your opinion? 
(it’s a joke!) No not “passive - aggressive” I have nothing to be aggressive about … more like just plain, good , old, honest frustration that he (Hendrik) just seems to go around in circles, never really saying anything that much of value to aiding the real growth of the art.

A true researcher will not just state their opinions as “facts” and not provide sources and validation for their statements when they want to make them publicly, or tell those asking for it to respect their decision to keep it to themselves.
The fact is, the biggest source from which Hendrik draws his strong opinions is his own wishful thinking. He can’t be taken seriously by anyone, except those who foolishly share in his wishful thinking (Sergio- who has been wrong enough times to know better).
Anyway, so what if we travel back in time and find the original WCK? Will people latch onto this just because it’s “original”. Does that word still mean anything if it’s actually sh!t WCK compared to what has been developed now?

I do not know why anybody would be frustrated. Of course he goes around in circles and never says anything of value. Frustration would only come if you expect something more. It is obvious to a blind man that Hendrik does not really practice wing chun. I mean physically. When some people on this forum suggested getting together with him and sparring to see the results of his qi and DNA and so forth Hendrik’s response was to melt down and say he would call the police if anybody tried to visit him.
Understanding in wing chun just like in boxing comes through performance from the doing of it. He is not on that road. He made a left turn a long time ago. His road leads nowhere.
