I interpreted your posts as you wrote them. You didn't say you started wing chun in a certain year, you said you 'originally started'. I understand what you meant now.

"Oh, and FYI, I've been training about 4 years."
Which is fair response. I originally started in 1987 or 1988 [ (one of those years.) How does all these years fly by so quickly??? I must be getting old.]. The style I took was very similar to Cripple Wong's system (I make fun of him now).

(Meaning I started Wing Chun around 87/88. It was interpret out of context.)

Hope that clearify things.

Oh yeah, as far as what part of the fist to hit with, my sifu told me in one of my first classes that we train to hit with the bottom three knuckles, but that as you progress you hit with the bottom two and eventually with the pinky knuckle only if possible. My sigung(grandteacher) has told me the same thing. If you have any questions or concerns with that I suggest you try the variations on someone and ask them which hurts more. If you don't train the vertical punch regularly please be careful because you can tweak your wrist.

Interesting.

I have a question . . . .

Do you guys ever get tired of "Everybody Wing Chun tonight!" jokes?

You sound like you're about 15, thats awesome. Like I said before, try punching someone with the bottom three knuckles, and then just the pinkie knuckle. Ask them which hurts more.

I hate you all so very, very much.

This is a harsh world we live in DM.
You gave it a valiant shot but unfortunately Bullshido.com and WC are like oil and water, the two can do great things, yet they just don't mix.

True, true. Ah well, at least this thread has (and will continue to) contain the majority of WC flame wars, so that i don't have to look at them EVERY FUCKING DAY.

Btw, Kiera Knightley = t3h hotness.
