VingDragon: Are you aware of the fact that there is a Ving Tsun school right there in Sunset Park? It’s run by Sifu Miguel Hernandez. He was a student of Moy Yat. Let me know if you want his phone #…He’s a friend of mine. ---

Moy Yat School Yes, my Friend, I know that school 🙂 I was there, once I live pretty close to that school, but I don’t think they are interested to trening with other Weng Chun lineage instructor like me ☹ but who knows, all is changing I’m open mind person and I’m looking for friends in Yong Chun community - not enemies so, please let’s meet all somewhere and let’s practise together ---

I know it’s a bit of a hike for you NYC folks, but please know that you are also welcome and encouraged to join us for the East Coast Gathering in the Greater Rochester area July 17th. I just posted the info on a previous gathering thread, and will update with a few additional details soon. Regards, - Kathy Jo ---

Re: Moy Yat School > Originally posted by VingDragon > [B]I live pretty close to that school, but I don’t think they are interested to trening with other Weng Chun lineage instructor like me ☹ > but who knows, all is changing That has to be the most incongruous statement ever said about Miguel. Are you absolutely, positively, sure you went there to learn? 😉 ---

a little hike? Rochester is a lot more than a little hike. I have an idea. Why don’t all of you Rochester people move the gathering to NYC. Then we can all be happy. There are more wing chun people here anyway. Jason Bourne ---

I mention Holger because about 4 months ago - as a result of some nice previous interaction via email between myself and Andreas Hoffman… Andreas informed me that his student, Holger, would be in NYC for a weekend. I picked him up at the Plaza Hotel on a Sunday…and as my school was not available that day for a workout - I called Miguel… and the three of us worked out at Miguel’s school for a few hours…had a late lunch…and I drove Holger back to the hotel. I had never met him before - he’s a good guy. ---

ooo, I’m sorry for that term 🙂 ‘YongChun’ is a name of all VT,WCh, WT, etc… Community, I use to name in different Polish forums. I don’t confuse myself and others to separate different lineages, and that’s why I call it with one word. I hope you’ll understand it being famous? ha, it’s a long story ---

YongChun I’ve seen YongChunChuan as a romanization of the Mandarin pronunciation of WingChunKuen, which is the Cantonese way of saying it. ---
