Bruce acknowledged in a letter to WSL that he was the man most responsible for teaching him and honing his fighting skills. If you remember the story of Bruce waiting outside the kwoon for the other students to arrive and when they did he told them that the teacher was sick so they would leave and he could then train privately with the teacher - well that was with WSL and not Yip Man. Wong Sifu told me that when he found out that that was what Bruce was up to he gave Bruce quite a private lesson (he said with a smile) and Bruce came out with a black eye, and bruises.
Hey, there is nothing wrong with VT - it's what Bruce used in a real fight (when he had them). Ted wong and Danny both said that Bruce would just straight blast a guy and that was it. It is a valid system. Boxing skills are too when used right, and most of the guys on here talk about following up with finishing tools from grappling. It's all good!
