Wing Chun or Wing Tsun?

[Zegna]

uhm? Swedish police WT!?!?

Effective against what? Contact the headquarters for the Swedish, German or/and the Chinese police and they will probably confirm that WT is being used. You want evidence that WT will work in self-defence? What kind of evidence? Can anyone proove to me that any Martial Art will work in self-defence?

Are you a special police officer? In what country? What kind of unarmed and armed combat system are your training as a part of the special police training?

I live in Sweden and I have a several friends in the swedish police.
Some of them have been i the "riotsquads". NONE of them have done any WT.
And I am 100% sure that the swedish police hq has nothing to do with WT.
I live in the 3 largest city in Sweden and trust me... WT is VERY VERY small here.

I thought that Yip Man always used the spelling "Ving Tsun" when translated to english, thats what it says in the Roots of Wing Tsun by Leung Ting f I'm not mistaken.

One of Yip Man's students Moy Yat uses Ving Tsun. The students under his lineage call their art Moy Yat Ving Tsun.

Nope. Wing Chun was the Yip Man lineage. It was Leung Ting who came up with Wing Tsun, and a guy in Britain called Victor Khan - Ving Tsun.

This last guy caused a stir some years back. he had a chinese written sign outside his training hall. So what I hear you say. It read "Sundays, Chinese Only".

Maybe only they got to learn the deadly secrets!

Ving Tsun has always been used by Yip Man. The other non Yip Man Linages uses different names. Wing Tsun, has, as you said, only been used for 10? years or so. I don't know much about the politics in TKD but they seem to be a lot more organized then WC with the WTF and ITF organziation spreading worldwide.

True at least the two TKDs have the exact same techniques(Yes i know of the minor tech differences both will say they are correct)

It seems to me that the terms Wing tsun,Ving tsun have only been bandied around for the last ten years or so.I could be wrong dont know.Seems wing chun has almost as much internal(political) fighting as TKD
