JFS,
you mentioned earlier in the thread that wing chun is a subset of hung gar.
I'm curious about this - why do you think that particular set of techniques were chosen?
Do you think it was intended as a slimmed down easy to learn style for beginners? Or a grouping of close range techniques intended as an easy reference practice set for advanced practitioners of other martial arts?

Wow
I dont check this site for a bit then JFS has moved over here. Hi John/Jack sorry I could not make your seminar but my wedding was the following weekend and my stag do on the Friday and Saturday night so I was in no fit state to train. I was on a 2 week ban from training from wife to be and family to ensure no plaster casts in the wedding pics.
Was there any video footage from it as the pics dont seem to give much away. Asia I know little about and I know a bit about JFS.
JFS does actually talk sence on technical issues but I know his manner is a bit blunt often like mine.
I think this will be a good fight if it happens, sadly, I am in the UK so will have to check video footage if there is any.
Have fun guys.

I predict that he will pulverise Asia with less than three strikes of his deadly phoenix eye fist.
What age are you? Seriously

Asia, sorry, I don't know who you are. Who are you?
JFS is a dangerous individual.

I think it would also be fair to call Asia "a dangerous individual".

Not yet I just got back form my run and about to head to the gym for another workout. I will call when I get back.

That's not what I stated. I said, to me, WC plays very much like small frame H'ung Gar. There are many structures that share common bio-mechanical traits.
Personally, I think WC is a great TCMA system to start out in. It's hysterically funny to read all the "it's the man and not the style" posts followed by "WC sucks." It's pared down, clean, and uncluttered with a lot of repetitive Sets.
IMO, either of the ways you note above would constitute a "good" use of WC. A bit like SPM in that regard ... might as well toss Bak Mei into this particular mix.
I've found it interesting to uncover some common "root" systems in the background of many TCMA Masters - Sifu. Kind of shoots holes all through the "purist" argument.
Wow, Nightmare, did you think up that razor sharp post all by yourself? John

Ron's just yanking your chain, EA. From what I gather, he's pretty much MMA based so he's just screwing with you. John

I can personally verify that JFS USA is a 100% authentic TCMA master. I predict that he will pulverise Asia with less than three strikes of his deadly phoenix eye fist.
JFS USA is also an open and approachable individual who is always willing to help those less advanced in martial knowledge than himself.
One example of his generosity is the UK Phalanx Pankration association he is associated with. This organisation is helping bring TMA and MMA back together. It is run by the seminal Master Steven Richards and includes as an instructor none other than Haydn Sutton, aka Kickcatcher from this site.
If Kickcatcher sees the true value of traditional drills, forms and training, shouldn't we all?
I gotta laugh at the "3hits comment" like all the others here.... pffttt... anywho...
So this guy Steven is a master of semen... interesting... lives near soho then...??
oh and stfu noob... :XXhippylo
28... my arse... if you are indeed 28 then start acting your age and not your IQ...
