H.S.
Wing Chun (kung/gung fu) Wing Chun Kuen, Ving Tsun, Wing Tsun, Wing Tzun, etc. Yes there is slight philosophical variations but all are basically the same in thoery, forms, dummy and weapon techniques. Some instructors teach a hard and some softer it depends on the instructor. I have seen the forms practiced at a snails pace and hard and crisp niether is incorrect.
But I agree look at each school and make sure they focus on street defense, WC is not like other MAs it really is only for fighting and should be traininedthat way. Also it is easy to learn the forms but the instructor should not push "hey I can teach all forms and weapons in 6 months" if that happens walk out the door. The complexity of WC comes from its simplicity
Regarding Moy Yat, it was just a reference , at least in the US he used the spelling of Ving Tsun before most.
If wing Tsun is actually trademarked I would be suprised, but I don't know. If it is my opinion is the same it really depends on teh instructor.
my 2 cents
