Did Bruce Lee ever teach Wing Chun.

I have never heard this.

well, when he first taught in america he was teaching his kung fu which, at the time, was wing chun...

Sorry I wasn't thinking when I responded. That was one of the reasons for the tension between himself and Yip Man.

Tension between himself (Bruce Lee) and Yip Man? What happend?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...
