Folks, I’m heading over to Beijing and Shanghai at the end of the month and would like to visit any local WC schools. I may not be in Beijing long enough to squeeze in a visit, but I can find time while in Shanghai. Anyone know of any school that welcome visitors in those areas?
Thanks in advance

Try googling “wing chun in shanghai” and perhaps you can find more info. If I were you, then I would take this opportunity to train in a non-Yip Man mainland Chinese lineage just to see the other aspects of this art that may not be present in the Hong Kong version.

cft, I dropped pete an email last night.
I will also try the tried true google method.
Thanks
Hi Rindge, I hope you enjoy your time in Shanghai.

Petes not gonna be here - he’s heading back to LA next week for 3 to 4 months…however me and the other masochists will be training in the Shanghai heatwave…your welcome to join us in the park…
There’s one other guy teching WC here in Shanghai, though he’s away more often than not for business…he’s got a student doing most of the training…the styles southern mainland…there’s a WSL guy whose pretty solid in beijing.
After being here for 3.5 years I’m seeing more arts appearing in the main cities, where unless you’re training with a phys ed collage are pretty thin on the ground. Art of War in beijing are running MMA comps and traning…alot of Muay thai, BBJ appearing in Shanghai now, plus the regular park goers doing YiChuan, Hsing yi, bagua, etc

Junmo, I just heard back from Pete about him not being there. I’d love to train with you guys. I will be staying at the at Astor House Hotel No 15 Huangpu Road Shanghai. Is that close to the park you train at? When do you train? Also, any contact info for the WSL gent in Beijing?
Rindge, here is a WSLVT guy in Beijing:

CFT, thanks. This might shape up to be a great WC trip!!! I’ll be contacting him tonight.

Rindg,
Your staying right on the river…were further downtown…maybe a 15 minute taxi ride (weather and traffic dependent) - at the moment we train Saturdays/Sundays are the main days…when are you arriving in Shanghai?
And yes that link CFT sent is the WSL guy in Beijing…dont know if you have been there before, but that city is spread out, so you will need some time, and patience toget anywhere.
I visited Wang Zhiping in Beijing last year. Make sure you have a cell phone to call a taxi, because his school is in the last unpaved part of Beijing (not literally, of course, I’m sure there are other unpaved areas…), in what many Westerners might consider a slum. Getting there, the Taxi driver hadn’t even heard of it, and when I left, I had to walk 3 miles just to get back to a main road. So the school is nothing like the Great Wall backdrop they had on Human Weapon. It was definitely a fun visit though; Sifu Wang is a very nice man-- we must have talked for about an hour (though I would have far rather watched his class…).
Another person teaching in Beijing is one of my kung fu brothers, Marco Lee (Sifu Lo Man Kam lineage): http://www.poweredge.ch/~wckf/
Junmo, I arrive in Shanghai on Saturday the 5th July in the afternoon, so Sunday would be ideal (assuming you train in the morning). Let me know where and what time and I’ll be there.
Aelward, thanks for the info on the schools in Beijing. I’m only in Beijing for 4 days so I think sightseeing and eating 
:Dwill take up all of my time. Nonetheless, I have sent Wang an email.

Wow, that is some great advice right there. I guess that’s the kind of insider info that only a closed-door, in the know expert like you could provide.
Really got his finger on the pulse alright…

Unkokusai, the Kung Fu Forum’s resident retard strikes again! LOL.
I’ll tell you again to stop referring to the handicapped as if they are some kind of puchline, you offensive piece of ****.
Now, are you practicing your google-fu in a basement in Rio or in London?

Now to other business:
If you won’t answer the question I’ll just have to keep asking wherever I can.
So, what about it?
And, what was that great advice again? Look it up on google? Brilliant. You are really a highly informed expert just like you’ve been trying so hard to convince everyone you are!

YOU are the punchline Unkokusai and you are the retard. No one else should take any offence. So stop screaming and take some of those nice retard pills that those nice guys in the white jackets provide you with.
Do they teach you business studies in that mental institution you call home?
:rolleyes:
