Boztepe showed him the article (and there is photographic proof somewhere, I saw it in the magaizines of the day - I am that old....), asked him whether or not he meant it, and then set about kicking the shit out of him. Badly thogh. Like I said, WC is cack.

At the time Cheungy merely claimed that his slippery Kung Fu slippers were the cause of his downfall. It is only in the last few years that new and creative bull shit excuses were dreamt up, including:-

- Boztepe had armed helpers who forced Cheung to lose on purpose
- Boztepe jumped on his back without warning
- Cheung actually "won" the encounter.

All these are, of course, a heap of shite.

I am no fan of Boztepe. But he made Cheung eat shit that day, and the boastful Cheung fukkin deserved it.

im not saying this because i am a practioner of gm cheungs wing chun but i have been told he was holding a seminar at the time boztepe challenged him......... just a thought

I personally attended many stages of Sifu Emin Boztepe, as I've been a practician of EBMAS.
As a first thing, let me say that if you talk about Wing Chun you're not talking about sport.
Wing Chun is a traditional martial art, that's not been adapted for "shows" or public championships.
The same EBMAS has not an internal championship.

We only learn to protect ourselves, as the last possible way to survive.
We don't fight if there's no danger, but we know that in case of danger we must attack until the end of the fight: no more than 20 seconds, you understand what I mean?

I'm nobody master, but don't take offence if I suggest you to read something from "the art of war", by Sun Tzu.

However, don't expect that Sifu Emin comes and play with you in some regular match. He's not a showman, he's a Kung Fu Master, has nothing to demostrate.

If you really want to try, please go to some stage of Sifu Emin, introduce yourself and say (or do) everything you prefer.

I have no idea why these types of politics still exist in forums. But let me tell you - I am pissed off with them. Sifu Emin is one of the finest fighters in the world. This is unquestionable. The first Wing Chun seminar I attended (and learned many useful things from it) was the one from a student of master William Cheung - Sifu Jore Kostovski. In short, I have studied both lineages to some extend (TWC and LT) and have friends from both. Why not try to learn something useful but countinue to bash sifus?
