wing chun kuen man Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 Lucky, My comments on Bruce Lee´s power are based on his friends´ and training partners´ comments in interviews. Apparently for his size he was very powerfull, also anyone who is good in Wing Chun will have powerfull punches in his or her arsenal. For someone like Bruce Lee to get through to an opponent even without one punch KO power, it could mean 5 or more SOLID punches connecting with target in 1 second i.e. probably a KO. I think that the present state of karate and other traditional martial arts is sad. Some of it is due to economic realities, as you mentioned in your post where even good and well qualified senseis or sifus have to bring down their standards just to survive. On the other hand, just like any other profession there are the opportunists who see martial arts as a way of making a quick buck and hence the Mcdojos and their influence on the MAs and the general public´s perception of them. These Mc dojos create competition for the real ones who sometimes have to reduce to their standards to compete with them. Very sad indeed. Luckily there are still real and authentic dojos and kwoons in most larger cities for those who search a little. Wing Chun Kuen Man Real traditional martial arts training is difficult to find.....most dojos in the west are Mcdojos....some are better and some are worst....but they are what they are....do you train in one?
