WT
Yeah, I know of and practice WingTsun, of course, I don’t know near enough of it. Where does your friend study?
Cobra, where do you train?
Cobra, do you train with Jeff Webbs group here in Austin??
WT
Yes, I’ve been training under Sifu Webb for about 2 years now.
Cool
I’m thinking of training with his group. I moved up from San Antonio where I trained and taught under Will Parker. Dunno, I’ve thought of actually making the commute once or twice a week to stay under my old instructor.
Sadly, I just learned about Emin bai’s split last month. It turns out several of Parkers top students (and friends of mine) are under Emin now and would like me to train with them. I’m really torn about this as I’ve trained on and off under Parker since '93 but have also trained with his top students very intensely.
Maybe I should just sign up for BJJ and avoid the conflict???
WT Friend
My friend studies in Scotland. I told him about this forum, and hopefully he’ll find a friendly resource here.
Thanks for your replies!
want to train cobra??
Cobra, I see you’re in Temple. I 'd love to train sometime. My schedule only permits days (before 3pm) and weekends. Also, I’m in South Austin. If you ever want to get together informally I’d itching to do some WT. Its been about 2 yrs since I trained and am getting grumpy:(
WT
Yeah, I’d love to get together, would probably have to be on a weekend though. E-mail me at yort95@aol.com and we’ll see if we can arrange a time to work out.
Sifu Webb has a class during the daytime one day a week and classes on Saturday too just to let you know.
Later,
Scott
visit to austin
i’m going to be visiting austin sometime either next month or february to spend some time with some friends, and i’m hoping to spend a class or two at sifu jeff’s kwoon. if i can’t, i’d love to meet up with one of you austin folks for some practice.
anyone know if sifu jeff would mind a student from a sister school up in bellingham (david brown’s kwoon) dropping in for a class (with warning). and if not, any takers on a bit of tea and chi sau? i’m testing to finish level 8 on the 20th, if that offers perspective.
What’s Wing Tsun?
Email me
Send me an email at iblis73@yahoo.com. I haven’t trained in a couple of years but was an 8th or 9th when I left.
If you’re up for it we could do some sparring or hard contact reaction drills. Either way I’d be more than happy to meet up and do some training.
As a general question, do the LT schools still do the Lat sau program? We never went over lat sau when LT did a seminar-he always had us do the same techniques but not as part of the lat sau program. Has anything really changed since Emin bai left? Who gives seminars/tests people now? I’m really curious.
Thanks
WT is cool
TSB
WT is wing tsun, the trademarked system of grandmaster Leung Ting. It is very similar to the wc/vt systems though I think overall it is superior in some small but vital regards and has a standardized modern grading and training program.
I also used to train WT. My SiFu was Emin. I like the system but not the politics 
i don’t think anyone liked the politics, Nichiren.
as far as the lat sau, my kwoon still does it, even though we’re directly affiliated with GM Leung Ting. it’s a good training tool that can help teach a lot of the dynamics of unstuck (non-chi sau or pre-chi sau) fighting. plus, when done properly, it can be one heck of a workout.

I know. I’ve been at it for a year and a half now.
I guess I should have used a wink instead of a smile.
