to the world as with many arts that are disappearing. Each generation grows softer and weaker, sometimes a son does not want to inherit a style and pass on the teachings. Maintaining quality means less quantity of students. There are only 4 WC sifus left in the world that are worth a damn and only 2 of them may be willing to teach anyone, with conditions. Wan is in great shape for his age but his power years are long gone. I will repay his kindness and show the world the power he once had.

WKL's WC has greatly changed from his earlier teaching years compared with now. Everyone's ego likes to think they are constantly improving, whereas fact is sometimes people lose skill, knowledge, and usually simply lose power due to old age or techniques change due to lack of practice or change in priorities (quality vs quantity). the beauty of wing chun is still skill over brawn, speed and grace over muscle. angles and leverage in every move = great power. Most of WC has already been lost

I learned Fat Shan (closed door) Wing Chun from my parents before learn from Wan for 8 years. Even HK style and Wong Shen Leung style is already greatly adultereated from original Fat Shan WC, which is where WC originated from in case you didnt know. However, gravity and physics do not change though the height/weight/body/personality of the practitioner does. So the principles are singular in all 4, Fat Shan, HK, WSL, and WKL styles of Wing Chun, but the applications are different.

Alright, I guess I'm going 'meshugga' over here (LOL)! So why did I make the last statement?Because all of Wing Chun, nay, all of Kung Fu (in general, and as a rule-of-thumb) has to do with a Human-Being's full range of motion as it applies to any and all potentially combative situations that may or may not occur. This being so, we will always have room to expand and grow!

One last thing, my YouTube "friends".Even though some of you may not care to know what I think on this matter of "non-bonafide" Wing Chun systems:If you think you know Wing Chun (but only if you really do) I suggest that we all learn the way Master Wan does his Bil Jee in addition to continuing to practice it the way we already do.

I can actually "see" within his movements the martial applications which are being inferred.When one has practiced SERIOUSLY for a considerable amount of time one begins to perceive subtleties which previously may not have been so apparent. In a nutshell, this SIFU KICKS MAJOR ASS!!!

In my humble opinion, this dude has got a great command of the Bil Jee form. And yes, people, there are many different ways of performing it.Besides, the important thing to consider is whether or not one is following the Wing Chun principles (which, by the way, are based on other arts which preceded it). So why all the nonsense politics?

And Yip man's Wing Chun was also very different from his own student, Wong Shun Leung.
