I don't know what the norm is, but we don't bow either.

I admire your enthusiasm, it sounds like you're very keen. If I were you, I'd really try and find a wing chun club to go to. Reading books is good, but to develop your sensitivity (a big part of WC) you really need to touch lots of different hands. Keep practising! Hi Jesse.

Like study Wing Chun with GrandMaster Yip Man, created Jeet Kune Do, and broke off of the closed mindedness of most arts out there. I have about 14 books on Jeet Kune Do, and have been training my self for about 6 years now. And about 4 months ago I thought Wing Chun would be a great art to learn, a great defense based art. So I bought a book "The Wing Chun Compendium" by Sifu Wayne Belonoha, It's a big book and shows step by step on Siu-Nim-Tau, Chum-Kiu and Biu-Ji. But when i started learning the Siu-Nim-Tau form, i thought about if this Sifu was teaching the art correctly through his book. So i got online and found the GrandMaster Yip Man training videos and started to wright each move down on paper. Meaning watch GrandMaster Yip Man's every move and look in my book to see what the move was called and write it down, the move name and the translation. This took some time, and some moves and translations i had to find online. In the end, Sifu Wayne Belonoha was not too far off of GrangMaster Yip Man, on the first two forms that is, the third "empty-hand" form i can not find GrandMaster Yip Man's video online. I'm getting good at Siu-Nim-Tau now, and was looking around the internet one day and found this "Putting The Chi Back Into Chi-Sau" by Sifu Scott Baker. He explains the true meaning and definition of Chi-Sau, and also tells how GrandMaster Yip Man would gain Chi and energy with training in the Siu-Nim-Tau form. Please check it out, and thank you for your site, there are not too many of us Wing Chun students who really want to learn and prosper the art Jesse M.

Martialtalk seems to be the most mature (that I've found anyway). There does seem to be a lot of squabbling in MA forums, I’ve noticed that too.

Most of them are Sifu's, some are Masters, some are even closer to their Grand Masters. However, this leads to a lot of squabling among themselves with regard to who's right or wrong. You can get very valuable advise from there. The only thing you have to do initially is prove that you are not a troll, that you really want to learn and are not wasting anybodies time... They have their personal students for that. They will verbally roast you if you do that. I guess you could say they've also mastered the verbal roast. lol. Martialtalk forum: My favorite. There is more of a camaradarie here. Everyone is there to learn. Ideas are shared openly. I haven't really witnessed or experienced flaming here (at least flaming on the level of kung fu mag.) MAP: There is a lot of attack on wing chun guys there. I started posting there but I'm online to learn and not just to be bashed. I didn't learn anything there so I've stopped checking that out. The others are kinda dead. My two cents:

As far as reading goes I can recommend the Ip Chun/Michael Tse book on the first form. It's very easy to read and goes into the historic background of Wing Chun (though I don't know how much is just traditional myth!). There's a book by Shaun Rawcliffe but I found it a bit difficult to get into. I'm going to have a crack at that again soon. The Bruce Lee biography by Bruce Thomas is interesting, not really Wing Chun specific but interesting anyway. There's also this site which has some useful stuff on it and I actually might add it to the main article above: http://www.tseqigongcentre.com/. It's got some videos and even breaks down the names of the hand movements in the first form - very useful: http://www.tseqigongcentre.com/fileadmin/free_downloads/Exercise_Names/Wing_Chun_s_First_Form_-_Siu_Lim_Tao.pdf Mostly it’s just class and home practise that I do, though I do spend a some time on MartialTalk.
