I trained Leung Tings system of WT for 7 1/2 yrs and when I finally left because my instrucor abused his position of power - I saw it for what it was, I felt id left a cult.
I now train REAL wing chun and its so different to be training with people who dont act with a superior nature and treat you any different regardless of your skill in martial arts because we are all there to learn!
WT is good for theory of "wing chun" but nowdays theory dosenty go with "street fighting" I should know I couldnt defend myself with my WT against my wing chun training partners they practically squashed me - but now I have power (NOT brute strength) and im learning all over again how to defend myself and fight properly - I now have more power and speed then I could have ever imagined, I am only a small woman in comparison to big muscley guy, yet now I am beginning to be able to defend myself against bit strong guys, whereas in WT it was very very light contact and i hate to think what would have happened had i come across an agressor on the street and treidn to defend myself with the WT form of self defence.
Joining Wing Chun was a big wake up call for me and it really woke me up to the fact that yes WT is all well and good but when it comes down to the street forget it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
