Chi Sim on according to yhl

[Cang Long]

Is Young ho lee a representative of chi sim weng chun? Just curious where all this information was coming from and how it was being delivered and received.

chi sim wing chun
There's only one wing chun:"chi sim wing chun". It doesn't mean 'praising spring fist', but 'eternal spring fist'. His roots go back to shaolin. The first form is not 'siu nim tau', but 'wing chun keun also called 'sap jat keun'. Followed up with 'fa keun', saam paai fat' and 'jong keun'. The 'siu nim tau', 'cham kiu' and 'bieutze' are three parts of the 'wing chun keun' form. All the other wing chun in the world is comming from 'yip man' and is called 'yip man wing chun'. They don't have 'wing chun keun, fa keun, saam pai fat and jong keun'. They also don't have the foot work and are missing a lot of concepts (like: 'heaven, man and earth; space, energie and gravity'; push and pull').

This being his first ever post it seems he was not received to well over on KFO just curious how our Chi Sim members viewed this post.

thank you for your replies.

Hi Chang Long,

things like that make me a little annoyed.

First of all:
The Statement: "There´s only ONE Wing Chun and that is Chi Sim Wing Chun" is not only a little silly but also abusive to all Wing Chun practitioners.

This post is so painful and embrassing that i dont really know what to say.

Sorry if you or someone else feels offended by this guy - he does not represent the opinion of the official Weng Chun Teachers and Sifu A. Hoffmann - i´m quite shure that he doesn´t even train Weng Chun.

PS: i can imagine where this guy comes from and why he does such things, but i dont want to give to much attention to things like that.

I agree with Sifu Stefan that this doesn't represent the sentiments of the Weng chun family.
On a personal level it sounds like the words coming from someone who might be looking for a family instead of someone representing one.
