Understanding the Puzzle of Wing Chun is for the Few not the Many!!!

Alpha

The guy I mentioned isn’t as capable of learning as most. The desire is there but the ability is impaired.

The WWF wannabees (they aren’t really, but I’ll stick to my irreverent tag) also want to learn. I think they are also learning impaired tho :smiley:

After shoving them all over and popping them enough they ask questions and ‘pay attention’ and you get the feeling that maybe this’ll be the day they see the light.

But you’re wrong. :rolleyes:

hmmm…

sounds like we might be in the same class… and maybe I am one of the WWF geeks!! :smiley:

Sorry “man”, but I don’t know what your problem is, but maybe you should just relax a little.

Please identify the statements where I claimed superiority. I will be happy to retract them.

i agree with the disable guy being better. we have people like that, the anoying people are the ones who can do it but dont try. the "Im pacing myself " people. least people that dont have natural abilities work harder to get it. i have a guy in my school that is a really good athlete and i train double him just to keep up.

First, some have recommended booting students who don’t fit in. I’m not sure I agree.
I was responding to the question about allowing a “closed-minded students to remain in class and potentially exert a negative influence on other students.” If the person has a handicap or even general lack of athletic ability, then that’s an entirely different matter. This is not about elitism. All people bring a lot more to their school than their Kung Fu skills. You can have a very skilled student who seriously damages the positive learning environment. My concern is for the club members as a group. One real bad apple who intentionally wants to disrupt things can have a very negative effect on the class. It should not be tolerated, IMHO.

On the other side of the coin, you can have someone who is a much weaker student who is really trying their best and also brings a lot of positive energy to class with them. This person contributes to the school in a different, but no less affirmative way.

As I see it, a Sifu is there to serve the students. When we encounter the wrotten apple, the Sifu’s guidance hopefully will help direct him/her in a proper direction. Eventhough many students may disagree with keeping him there, often times time discloses that the Sifu was right in keeping the student on and turns out to be one of the best students in the class.
Everyone has the same potential!!! This is where equality lies!

Ultimately, I trust my sifu’s judgement. I know that he has the best interest of the group at heart at all times. I also know that if a student gets out of control, he will deal with it.

so roy
i ask you on the deleted whippy poll thread are you his teacher or are you him.
you said that he felt this way or that.(you odviously know him or are going to deny that now that thread has been wipped)
i am still waiting…?
anyways, is that last post your excuse or reason for his/your behavior?
either way that makes you look very silly i’m affraid to say.
vts

Let’s keep to the subject at hand. S
Enjoy the mystery!!!..S I do.

You’re sifu seem like good sifu? Who is your sifu?

Sabu…

Yes, my Sifu is a very good Sifu. Of that I have no doubt. However, please pardon me as I choose not to identify him. It’s nothing personal mind you, but there are sharks in these waters. :wink:

I do not wish to have him associated with the ramblings of one of his students. It seems that I have a weak grasp on the true meaning of Wing Chun, but I will strive to improve. My inadequacy should not be taken in any way as a reflection of my Sifu. Besides, I doubt you would know him.

Gotta love those…

“who is your Sifu, what’s your lineage??” engagements. Guaranteed to put your audience into a submissive/defensive position. They’ll be putty in your hands after that. :rolleyes:

Alpha Dog…

My lineage has been posted here before. Unfortunately, all you hear after that is “What would Sifu say to that?” or "Are you contradicting your Sigung in a public forum?‘’ as soon as you post something that others do not agree with. It’s like you don’t have a right to a personal opinion.

Like I said, my comments are my own. I do not have the ability, or the desire, to speak for someone else. For me, this is just a place to hang out, discuss common interests and compare notes.
I don’t want to get into politics.

Peace,

I hear ya.

Actually, I was commenting on Sabu’s post.

Cheers

I don’t make the rules.

See, for the few not the many, this thread has turned into your sifu sounds like a good person, and all that.
Let’s continue on the original idea of the Puzzle it was so good!!!

What’s with the “for the few, not the many”? WC was intended for armies, was it not? that in my mind implies “many.” anyone should be able to learn this.

Wing Chun has always been known for

…it’s particularity of being effective for personnal defense in a relatively short time.

So, it’s basics must be “simple” to understand so the poor guy can use it instead of phylosophising endlessly about some esoterical details or concepts only a few chosen one are blessed enough to know and understand.

Siu lim tao alongside a few simple drills is providing a small idea, big enough to be usefull to the many!

Later, the other forms and growing skills in chi sau and other exercices will solidify everything into a well understood and systematic combat system. You just have to walk a step at the time or,as yuanfen likes to say: Slowly climb the Wing Chun mountain! :wink:
