Wing Chun has been a very mis-understood martial arts system. I believe it is becoming what Bruce Lee called a classical mess.

Once something has become fixed there is little chance of growth and in many of the Wing Chun Systems today that is exactly what is happening.   There is no absolute right or wrong when it comes to expressing yourself through your martial art.  It is this writers opinion that you should use what works for you. Wing Chun is a great system of kung fu. Like all things though in order to be fluid and not rigid you have to have the ability to flow and adapt with changes.

I believe it is safe to say that Bruce Lee has done more for martial arts in his short life than any other martial artist to date. Before he came onto the scene, nobody in America really knew what kung fu was. So at the very least he was the most influential martial artist here in the united states.  Thank goodness because before him there where some pretty bad fight scenes.

Like the Batman and Robin Fight Scenes from the 1960’s. That is why people where shocked when they seen Bruce Lee In the Green Hornet Series.
