I have just returned from the 2nd International Ving Tsun Workshop. It was a wonderful gathering of friends and family. I want to thank my Sifu Moy Yat, and my Sihing Benny Meng for all the hardwork and dedication to the dream of the Ving Tsun Museum. I urge all practicioners of this art to come to Ohio and see the fruit of their labors. It will be a very worth while trip no matter where you travel in from.

Comments:

3 years ago I suffered of backaches and was as stiff as a parking meter. I aim to become as agile as a cat. Doing chi sao with a beginner could lead me to say "meow", but doing the same with my sihing takes me back to the ground (perhaps I could compete with Pinocchio?) Nevertheless my backache is gone, I found my my way of wu shu that had to be invented if it had not yet existed. The most nerving stuff is the discussion, which martial art is the best, or, worse: which is the only way of wing chun an who is the one and only and real heir of Yip Man. In my opinion that question may have priority 2 after priority 1.000001 for the question, what number of angels can dance on a needle´s point, 1.000002: does the easter bunny exists and so on. So let me congratulate you to the idea to create a forum that accompanies the development of wing chun and gives everybody the possiblity to give in his or her ideas to push that development in a constuctive manner. Alles Gute!

Hi there, everybody. I´d really like to join my Sifu and so many brothers and sisters at the Museum this weekend, but it won´t be possible. The Museum´s existance itself and its website are a great accomplishment, one that honors all ancestors and living masters of the art, for their hard work (kung fu!) and their care for keeping the art alive to all of us. Ving Tsun, no matter how you write it, is a trully masterpiece of mankind, and can make our lives worthwhile. Let´s practice, then! Good luck to all. Congratulations to Sipak Meng and all Museum´s staff.

I am a certified instructor by Sifu Francis Fong based in Atlanta Georgia. I have been studying Wing Chun for almost fifteen years and own my own martial arts mfg. co.(The Great Lion Company) where I make the Muk Yang Jong (traditional Wing Chun Dummy) Our dummy form has 130 moves as taught by Chiu Wan to his students, Sifus Francis Fong, Jason Lau, Richard Chen, and others. Chiu Wan learned the dummy form in Futshan, China, before he came to Hong Kong. That's why it's different from the 108 and 116 movement forms taught in other schools.

I am always looking for new Wing Chun people to train with and learn with. I believe that all versions are good and offer something of value.

the elements are the building blocks of the techniques; the techniques are the building blocks of the principles; the principles are the building blocks of Gung Fu; Gung Fu is a building block of the human evolution. always return to the begining; never confuse your path and your goal! when building a house you can not beging by building the roof. how can it be different in Gun Fu? be patient. follow the path to your destiny contemplating with the enviroment, look around carefully. those who look down can not see the stars!

G'day from Oz. Train hard and don't confuse knowing how to do something with actually being able to do it. Too many people who confuse the two. Only when you can do it in a fight without thinking does it matter. There is only one wing chun kuen. It depends not on pieces of paper, titles, belts, or public opinion. Only on how closely you come to the theoretical perfection of the art. That is what determines how good your own wing chun is. And, most importantly, enjoy yourself and have fun doing wing chun. May all your springtimes be everlasting.

I spent a long time searching for the "right branch" of martial arts...I realize now that I was not seeking a "branch"; I was seeking a family. I have found it. To have SiHing, SiJe, SiDi, (I have no SiMoi at the moment...), but especially a Sifu like I have is truely a blessing. Seek out your own.

I would like to say that I am looking forward to the Elders seminar in October and hopefully all can take part in the feelings of unity and understanding. And with this meeting of the Ving Tsun minds maybe these feelings will permeate throughout the Ving Tsun community. I would also like to say thanks for access to the great website. And I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all the people involved in the Creation of the Museum and pay a small tribute to all of our gung fu ancestors-Matthew Shannon

The Wing Chun museum and the concept of friendship among all Wing Chun practitioners is one which I have always strived for. I am very impressed with the museum concept. It was an honor and pleasure to meet Benny Meng at the May98 Wing Chun Friendship Seminar. I consider Benny to be very skillful, knowledgeable and at the same time very humble. I learned a lot from Benny Meng's excellent explanations. Thanks again for sharing what you know. -Ray Van Raamsdonk

I HAVE PRACTICED OTHER MARTIAL ARTS BEFORE LIKE KARATE-DO "SHITO-RYU" WITH THE IDEA OF LEARNING A "WAY OF LIFE", BUT DIDN´T REALLY FIND IT AT ALL. NOW, SINCE I BEGAN PRACTICING VING TSUN KUNG FU IN GRANDMASTER´S MOY YAT FAMILY, DID FINALLY UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF : " LIVING, TALKING, VING TSUN KUNG FU " .
