Wing Tsun is, regardless of what Wing Chun-aficionados would have you believe, modern Wing Chun, passed on from the last great Wing Chun Sifu; Yip Man. Before retiring, Grandmaster Yip Man took in Leung Ting as his last closed-door disciple, to teach him the complete Wing Chun system to pass on the knowledge in its complete form. Unlike other popular forms of martial-arts (I've also practiced Judo, Karate and Taekwondo) Wing Tsun is more of a *system* while the others are loosely bundled techniques, in a somewhat flamboyant comparison. As such, it's not for everybody. Hope you learn to appreciate it. If you want to know more about the differences between different types of Wing Tsun/Chun and japanese/korean (same thing) martial-arts, e-mail me. Here's a ten year old clip of Emin Boztepe, former Wing Tsun spokesperson and at the time aspiring Wing Tsun practitioner, <a href="http://www.mcdojo.com/dl_goto.asp?id=25">beating up Wing Chun "grandmaster" William Cheung</a>.
