      I used to do Wing Tsun too back in the days, Leung Ting style. I got to 4th student grade under Sifu Emin Boztepe just before he left the organization. Shortly after he left I also quit because I didn't like all the drama within the organisation. I do have very nice memories from that time and hold Wing Tsun/Chun in high regard as a style.

      That said, all martial art styles have their pros and cons and I do not think that there is one that is better than the other. Do what you like and like what you do.

      AIAN HA-TO!

        No, I don't know him.

        Our european head teacher lives in Germany. Sensei Measara. Don't know if you've heard of him.

        Peace, man

          I had a conversation with a coworker a couple months ago when he asked me what was the best style for self/home defense. Of course he rattled off the usual suspects: kung fu, tae kwon do, karate…etc

          I explained to him that the "winner" of a self defense situation is the guy who dies second and home defense simply involves an expensive firearm and cheap wallpaper

          I think my answer was more than what he was willing to accept 🙂

          I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

            The best burger I ever had was in some shithole bar I stumbled into some random day of the week…their burgers had a mixture of kobe beef and another cheaper cut of beef on a sourdough bun

            It was amazing.

                    +1 hectic - hilarious . . . I just had this mental picture of Doug aiming the "expensive firearm" as he so eloquently described the scenario . . .

                      Put this guy in a room with a 14 year old Death Squad member from Sierra Leone that hasn't eaten in a few days

                      I'm putting money on the guy that has raped, maimed and killed since he was 8 years old, not the guy making Youtube videos

                      If your intent is to break bones, you're going to lose against the guy who's first move is to make a meal of your face

                            Wing Chun is the best and effectiv self defence art!
                            You dont need much power…the key is timing,technic and you use the power from your enemie!
                            Wing Chun is not a competition fight how karate,kickboxing,boxing,take wondo...ect.
                            Wing Chun is destroy and killing praktic!

                            Jürgen Harlander-Sifu of Wan Kam Leung Kung Fu...
                            He is 175cm and 70kg heavy -he isnt a muscle guy...but he can break every bone in EVERYBODY in few seconds and he can kill EVERYONE in a little more time!!!

                            How long have you trained? as you speak like somebody who is just finished his first ever basic course in martial art. I know what wing chun is. And I'm not putting it down.
                            Then there is karate and karate. you obviously don't know squat about that. But enough for this peeing contest. I just rest my case.

                                Or start a new thread so that people who are not interested do not have to see clutter in a very popular thread.  Actually one of the mods, can you do that?

                                    Mr G. Sure, I'm done with this topic and sure didn't want to start peeing contest or flaming.

                                    My bad, excuses to everybody who might have been offended.

                                    No need to open a new thread in my point of view. If somebody wants to do that I can contribute, but in constructive way.
