Sounds really good! Unfortunatly mine is nothing like that! Its just kinda your average Kwoon, alot of students. (bout 500). You go in mixed groups and the teaching is very 'one size fits all' I assume as your progress it wil become more specific. havent been training all that long. Much prefer another school in the area that focus's a lot more on Chi Sau and sparring. I think in your second lesson you learn one handed stick, its also on a farm so you can go training in the woods etc! Plus the teach BJJ/GJJ & other grappling arts. Their main Sifu is James Sinclair. From what i've read he is one of the best in Europe! Unfortunatly i'm moving to swansea soon so no point changing. Been looking at the schools in Swansea (Wales, UK), no great ones stand out! If anyone knows of any...

This argument could go on forever! By cross train i mean in the sense of studying differernt arts. For example we occasionaly do ground work in our WC lessons, but i wouldnt say we cross train. If you studied BJJ and WC seperatly i would say you cross train. Yeah thats exaxtly what i meant, i.e boxing. But they are western arts. Bruce done it with the Eastern arts. I agree, what you charge does not depict how good you are. But those he trained with went on to become campions. (I cant be asked to look up who where when. I have the detilas somewhere tho) The point you made about bouncers is a fair one. But Bruce was in a different league. I agree there are some MA's that we will never know how good they are. But Bruce made all his training as realistic as possible. Plus im sure its a well know fact that Bruce ws in a lot of streetfights in China. I also never said he was the best! Its a subject i think people just have to agree to disagree! What your WC training like?? Im curious how does it progress? I know its a vague question but im changing schools so im trying to see what different schools are like.

lol, ok... Firstly i meant cross train in Martial Arts, not cross train in the sense of weight training. Secondly i said, bruce was an advocate of full contact sparring in class. Whether students spared out of class isn’t the issue, they didn’t spar in class. You’ll notice i never said bruce lee improved Wing Chun! Also your comment: 'And as for "For Him", how does he know he had "improved" on it - he didn't know it all.' Are you actually serious?? If Bruce Lee hadn’t improved how was it that he taught some of the best Martial Artists in America at that time and people paid $300 per hour. Yes he charged $300 per hour, and that was decades ago! Also i did agree with some stuff you said, i actually study Wing Chun not JKD/Jun Fat. I just think Bruce Lee was way ahead of his time and a brilliant Martial Artist. I think people put him down due to the fact that he was a movie star, they think 'well he was a movie star so he couldn’t have been that good a Martial Artist it must have all been hype' If i had a choice to study Wing Chun for a lifetime or JKD i would pick Wing Chun, i just prefer it. I think it is a very deep Martial Art, i think if you studied pure JKD/Jun Fat then you would be missing alot of tools. It annoys me when people for example train in BJJ/Thai Boxing and say well this works me me so il say i study JKD. 80% of JKD is Wing Chun and if you dont study Wing Chun (at least to some extent) while studying JKD you will be missing alot of what Bruce used to teach. And lastly i am not a Movie star worshipper

Firstly, Prodigal Son, before you make some half baked comment on how you need to see evedence about how great bruce lee was go and read about him. All the evedence is there, im not wasting my time explaining it to you. Now when 'yireses' wrote about how bruce lee improved the art you seem to miss the bit that said 'for him', its subjective. why argue? He didnt say he made a better martial art than WC. Next, not been able to improve a 500 year old art?? I think that is one of the most ignorant comments i've seen on MA boards. Of course you can improve arts that have ben around for centries. Times change, arts should change with them. That said and done i agreed with some stuff you said, however i think your overlooking something. Your comments on how you learn WC are exactly the approch Bruce Lee was adcocating, however now they are taken for granted. When Bruce Lee studied cross training was a taboo, like many other aspects. The way of the art was the way you done it, period. A lot of what Bruce Lee was trying to fix has been fixed. But now people are trying to fix things that are fixed. People now cross train, spar and train flexibly. The greatness of Bruce was the he was the first to do these things, he cross trained, weight trained introduced full contact sparring and gave a personal approch to the way we learn MA. Appreciate that! Thats where his greatness lies! bluez4u2: I quite liked your post untill i got half way down, you obviuosly have no clue about JKD! You study Emin Boztepe wing chun, have to say that worked wonders aginast William Cheung in Cologne Germany.
