If you want to inflicts as much damage to your opponent buy a gun. It's much faster... that's gun -fu

I have also read all of Wong kiew Kits Books.All very well written and easy to understand. I think he's right on the money when he tells why peeople can't spar or fight.

I'm not new here but it's been a long time since I posted,so I just wanted to reintroduce myself..Hope to be back soon posting... Happy hoilidays..

generally speaking internal styles take longer to use in a fighting situation then most other styles.A lot of time is spent on the internal(like breathing,stance and chi qong) which takes a long time. I would not worry about how long it would take you.If your really into this style ,and are comited to a life time of training then you will get their eventually.the best thing to do is ask the other students in the class how long they've been with the sifu and get an idea at what level of skill they are.that will give you an idea where you might be if you put in the time as they have.

yes, I would do a light to medium spar with him to see how he reacts and if he knows how to defend himself.You just want to get an idea if he has anything.Again you have to ask in the right way don't challenge him.

I would go to his home.Bring a friend if you can if you can.Ask Questions but most of all ask him to deminstrate and explain how his style works.If he can't do at lest that much I would leave.Myself, I would test him out because I would not waste my time with someone who could be all talk.All the teaches I've learned from I've tested their skill.If you ask in the right way it should not be a big deal.

it's all about marketing..

Is it juk Lum?

In Most Traditional Chinese Schools don't use any color sash as a form of rank,but it depends on the school.Case- in-point I went to a wing Chun school which used no sash at all.Then many years later after I left that school now uses many different color sashes.

I've read all all his books.I highly recommend his books.His Books on Qi Gong are very good to.What makes his books great I.M.H.O is that fact there are simple and to the point,and easy to understand.

Thanks for all your imput..

Evet art at one time or the other was top dog.First it was Judo the karate then kung fu (the bruce lee era) then Bjj not its MMA Perhaps Chinese Wu Shu is the biggest as far as over all numbers.

I agree every system is different.A 2nd dan in say T.W.D may not be the same in training years or skill level say to a 2nd dan from Gojo Karate,but at least you have something to compare it to.You could say these two men are similiar in training and experience.I hear sometimes people who train in Kung fu say they are a 5th degree Black Belt I guess based on the years they put in.

I just like to ask a general question.I'm sure it's been brought up before but how would a person(say me) who has studied and been training in the Chinese Martial arts for 25 yrs be ranked compared to someone in a style like Karate that has a ranking system..In my style we have no rank,so How would you put your self or compare to someone say in karate who is a 2nd Dan BB?

welcome good to have you...

hello again...

sorry...

Sticky legs play a major role in Wing Chun training.Which is further devopled on the wooden dummy and the 3 stake kicking dummy.The legs should be develope to the same level as the hands.Once the hands and legs are developed then they can work together.

The purpose of the Sticky legs drill is to develope the ability to detect the opponents movement through leg contact.With practice one can defend agaist any kick or intention.

Welcome to K.F.

I bought a V.C.D on Monkey style a while back(china import) it mostly had a lot of chin na and take downs.It looks effective but a hard style to master.Most Monkey styles I've seen are fake.
