paolung Posted May 25, 2003 Posted May 25, 2003 well be aware that "wing chun do" is essentially combining two languages to describe a system... "wing chun/ving tsun" = "beautiful springtime" or "forever spring", etc.... "do" = "way". it is a bit awkward in my opinion to have this arrangement, it would be like saying "gungfu-do" or karate kuen"..just doesn't mix.

wcnavstar Posted May 25, 2003 Posted May 25, 2003 Wing Chun Do is the product of a man James DeMile. They are based out of Hawaii. If you look up their site ( https://www.wingchundo.com ) you will find that the creator of DeMile was a student of Bruce Lee from whom he learned Wing Chun. I do not know how many of you are aware of the fact that Bruce never even came close to mastering the art of Wing Chun. He never even completed it. Wing Chun Do is supposed to be an improvment on the traditional methods of WC. However, based on the fact that this mans WC teacher was Bruce Lee, one can only assume that Demille does not even have a well enough grounding in the style to make any improvments. He is nothing more than a Crackpot Mcdojo Sifu, looking to make some easy money from Bruce Lee's great and respectable name. However he has done allot in the martial arts community. And has gained the respect of many of the more powerful people in the MAComm. Although I think the fact that he was a champion boxer might have something to do with his fighting ability. But as far has an improvment on traditional Wing Chun... I think not![/url] "We work with being, but non-being is what we use" Tao Te Ching
