Another Leet Spelling

"yay another _ _ thread"

I never have the will to read long histories like that, especially when they are filled with too many names sounding like Long Wang and Sum Yung Gai. Most of it sounds like horse-shit "On the day that Tiger Wong came to collect the money. The cook who, up till now, was not taken into consideration and was thought to be a little" etc etc

Still, it does offer some crazy shit about somebody other than Leung Bik kicking Yip Man's arse, so on that story alone, I include it.

Supercrap's history of Wing Chun is still acknowledged as canonical truth.

[Dagon Akujin]

Better yet, "Vinh Xuan"?

[Kung-Fu-Ramma]

What the hell? That's just a bunch of scenes from The Legend and Once Upon A Time In China series'...that's pretty lame if you're using choreographed movie clips to promote your own damn style.

EDIT - Oh yeah, and I swear I say Guan Yu from Dynasty Warriors in there...

[MEGA JESUS-SAMA]

Regardless of how 1337 is spelled, I think we can all agree that it's retarded.

Same with ?ing ?un.

Netherlands - Wing Tjun
Germany - Wyng Tjun

could the spellings reflect differences between orthography in those languages and english?

[Kung-Fu-Ramma]

Maybe that's why there's so damn many...but then again, why doesn't the same apply to other styles? Why only Wing Chun?

No, because the other spellings are in those countries, too. It's just a way to pay homage to Leung Ting's WT while also getting to be cheap about paying their dues. :smile:


I will point out that Dagon Akujin's entry is not a "leet" spelling. It is Vietnamese.

[MaverickZ]

well, for what it's worth, when i was over in Loughborough University for a visit, that's in Loughborough England. in the student bar, that's right student bar, there was a board with the school's athletic accomplishments. and one was a 2nd place for Tea Kwon Do.

so either regional spellings DO matter, or English people are retarded.

Actually, the others who pronounce the ideograms in non-Mandarin Chinese do have the same problem. Transliteration of the Cantonese ideograms of the 'Non-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named' style into an alphabet is not consistent mainly because on the 4th of July, 1967, Yip Man decided that "WC" has no place on an official document in a British colony. Everyone hated "WT" - it was short for "Waste Time". So "VT" was born. The tower of babel was toppled.
