I am new to Bullshido and this is my first post.
I have looked around and not found anything recently devoted to BMS WuShu .
The art originates from Wing Chun but has little resemblance to the original art. Anyone doing Wing Chun will not try this art even though a number of times people from Wing Chun have stumbled across this style we have had no takers yet we have similar forms ie
Sil Lim Tao
Sil Lim Tao Advance
Chum Kil
Bil Jee
Wooden Dummy techniques
Etc

How can an art come from the same foundations but be so different?

I have come to the conclusion its all about the teaching. I mean real martial arts is difficult to teach and difficult to learn, so some martial arts instructors water it down making it easy to teach and easy to learn thus making both parties happy but ruining the art in the process.

If anyone is interested I will post the history, our philosophy and principles in regards to our brand of martial arts.

Does anyone know of any other rare martial arts out there?

Hi welcome to Bullshido. So your instructor renamed Wing Chun BMS Wusu and convinced you it is different?
No, it is not.




How can an art come from the same foundations but be so different?
Go look at Brazilian Jiujitsu vs. Judo vs. Japanese Jujutsu.

I doubt very strongly, this is the case with BMS Wushu.
Please be prepared for the onslaught that will eventually ensue. I hope you have a thick skin.




I have come to the conclusion its all about the teaching.

This is true about many things in life. If you have a poor teacher, you are a inevitably a poor student. You should seek out the best instructors whatever your endeavor.



I mean real martial arts is difficult to teach and difficult to learn,
I disagree. The road to becoming proficient or having complete Mastery is difficult. The learning process should not be difficult nor should the teaching.




so some martial arts instructors water it down making it easy to teach and easy to learn thus making both parties happy but ruining the art in the process. Money, lack of training, and general laziness are more of a factor than difficulty.




If anyone is interested I will post the history, our philosophy and principles in regards to our brand of martial arts.

Please do but, an old art renamed is not new nor is it rare.

Yong Chun, Wing Chun, Ving Tsun, Wing Tsun, Weng Chun, Wing Tzun.... It's all about marketing.

Is this the association?

You can always right click and save as, then you can try them in different players, it sounds like a codec issue.

Starjumps, welcome to the site.

Are you a student or an instructor at BMS?

What is your MA history, what other arts, for how long and under whom did you study?

Say, folks, doesn't this rare-fu master use a font we're used to here?

With vlc I got video no sound on all except the teeth one. That was sound and vid.

Well, that sucks for all of you because, my computer played every video fine.

You aren't really missing much but anti-grapple present in many systems.

Pretty much everything I've seen in multiple styles of _ing _un school videos.
