Wing Chun / Ving Tsun

David claimed to study the Southern style of Wing Chun in a New York City school apart from the supposed temple.  Most of the information he passed down to me from this style were snippets and tricks from magazine articles, particular those things in the style that Bruce Lee used to form Jeet Kune Do.  David was never able to perform any of the Wing Chun sets except one, "Si Lum Tau", and it was vastly incorrect.

Real Wing Chun involves many things David cannot teach because they are not available in books and videos, but has made an efficient use of many of its principles.  When under pressure, I tend to slip into this up-close approach, as these skills come to me easily.  In fact, after much self-study and training on my part, David returned from the Navy and in trying to asses my skills, he was unable to overcome my close-in techniques (sticky-hands, etc.).  He was surprised, and blamed his surprise at my advancement as the reason I came out on top.  From that point forward, I don't recall sparring him beyond controlled, limited drills.

Forms

Si Lum Tau

A sort of abridged, simplified version of the "Si Lum Tau" ("Small Idea Form") of Wing Chun was taught to me by David in 1989-90, and he changed it several times since then.  However, he always claimed it was the actual traditional form, and I did not realize otherwise until I consulted a number of books from various Wing Chun lineages.
