I also thought it was 'common knowledge' that Ip Man stripped many of the older traditions away, adjusting what he had been taught and inventing a 'New Method' that he alone taught in Hong Kong. So on reflection, maybe NOTHING was added to Chan Wah Shuns original curriculum by his sons or Ng Jung So?!! Maybe it was Ip Man that removed EVERYTHING! And so in looking for an original template of Wing Chun we will always find similarities to other Southern and Shaolin based Systems? Or are we to take the Taost Emei approach to find our answers? Or Yong Chun White Crane??
Each to their own, but at least understand that it's all simply speculation for now...
