Having a tournament as suggested above proves absolutely nothing. I have been training in WC since 1985 under GM William Cheung and primarily under Sijo Rick Spain. I've run several WC schools of my own in Sydney over the years and 10 years ago moved on from RS choosing to continue my journey of self improvement and self mastery. It would appear that if someone has trained in WC, then they're apparently entitled to make ridiculous claims about being this and that.. we're the best, that version is no good and so on. Who really cares what these people claim? I don't. Everyone has an opinion about most things but when it comes to MA training, ego takes over every time. It's not just WC. After Mas Oyama passed away, the Kyokashin organization fragmented very quickly. There are other examples if you look. Re GM Cheung and Leung Ting, don't even bother. GM Cheung trained under Ip man. Having a say about that is disrespectful. Just another opinion being aired. Be an positive example for the future.. don't enter into this game. It serves no purpose whatsoever.. I understand your reasons in airing this forum as it's been going on for years and quite frankly is disappointing that we can't all get on. But for me, i choose to focus outwardly in how i can make a difference to the lives of my students and the community at large. I'm fairly certain, most people whether students and potential students are not interested in all of this. They come looking for guidance, friendship, coaching, self development, inspiration as so forth. Talking about the subject above only keeps it alive. Let's do our bit to put an end to the squabbling. I have no control over these things but i do have control over my reaction to it. Besides, in my experience working 20 years in all facets of the security industry, WC doesn't have all the answers. I used to think it did and was very precious about those who said otherwise. My journey has lead me to Close Combat Training which i have been training/teaching for the last 6 years. WC has it's place in my curriculum however CCT has highlighted many realities of true life or death martial art combat. My advice to all MA students and instructors alike.. continue moving forward with your training and development and avoid the mistake of stopping and making a stand saying "this is it. I now know!!" How can you know you know.? Train Hard, Respect Who cares..!! Having a tournament as suggested above proves absolutely nothing.
