Drunken Monkey Posted June 10, 2003 Posted June 10, 2003 well, when he first taught in america he was teaching his kung fu which, at the time, was wing chun... post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
pvwingchun Posted June 10, 2003 Posted June 10, 2003 Sorry I wasn't thinking when I responded. That was one of the reasons for the tension between himself and Yip Man. Wing Chun Kuen Alliancehttps://www.wing-chun.us

Drunken Monkey Posted June 11, 2003 Posted June 11, 2003 there wasn't really much tension. i seem to recall that even after he left, bruce kept up the old traditions and even "took tea" with yip man publicly. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
pvwingchun Posted June 11, 2003 Posted June 11, 2003 I would have to go back and read the story again. As I remember he was upset with him for teaching WC but it has been a long time since I read about it. Wing Chun Kuen Alliancehttps://www.wing-chun.us
Drunken Monkey Posted June 11, 2003 Posted June 11, 2003 i think that was a story circulated by the press when he left for america. cos when he started to teach properly (his own kung fu) he wrote a letter asking for approval from yip man to call his teachings his own. it was something to do with him not wanting to bring wing chun (and yip man) a bad name. also, the chinese martial arts people couldn't question him so much if what he ws teaching was his own. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
pvwingchun Posted June 11, 2003 Posted June 11, 2003 As I said I would have to go back and read everything again. You may be right. As for the stories created by the press I don't doubt that and the stories of everyone else involved put their spin onit I am sure. Wing Chun Kuen Alliancehttps://www.wing-chun.us
Drunken Monkey Posted June 11, 2003 Posted June 11, 2003 well, i'm sure you know what the press are like especially seeing as the person they were attacking weren't even in the country at the time... post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
