Just a slip of the typing, nothing meant by it. But saying that I guess Hendrik may be an older student of Wing Chun than John but that's just a guess...
I used to yes, but that's just the way Hednrik writes and I too am guilty (again!) of sometimes doing that like everyone else here
I disagree. This actually happended 2-3 decades ago when Wing Chun, a complete Chinese Martial Art, was turned into a sansau based 'scientific' kung fu style! Saying that, passed generations at least fought I guess, but the overall basic standard of the fighters was much less then too I suppose so Wing Chun stood its ground. Not so easy these days.
What I believe is wrong with our community is that is IS NOT a community!! Without world wide participation in standardizing what Wing Chun is or isn't we will always have people that can and will take the pi$$ and teach Wing Chun with very little knowledge that has been gained unscupuously from shady teaching, on sites like Youtube or a brief seminar here or there.
And this is only evident when you are in the same room as eachother, as we all know the mirror of Wing Chun can be shattered in many cases when true common sense prevails!
