Guy wrote this on the punching thread:
My system is called VT. It is the system taught by YM. There is no special different thing called WSLVT- there is only VT, and this is what I practice. It is your business if you also practice VT
He seems to be saying the "Ving Tsun" spelling uniquely defines Ip Man's own personal version of Wing Chun and that Wong Shun Leung taught EXACTLY what Ip Man taught. He believes that WSL did not update, personalize or change Ip Man's Wing Chun in any way. Therefore there is no "WSLVT", only Ip Man "VT". So anyone doing Wing Chun differently that what is being done by those taught by WSL is not really doing Ip Man's "VT". If they have changed things in any way, then it is no longer "VT"....which is Guy's way to say Ip Man Wing Chun.
So does WSLVT exist? Did WSL teach EXACTLY what Ip Man was practicing? You be the judge!
First, that classic footage of Ip Man doing the forms:
Wong Shun Leung doing Siu Nim Tao:
Wong Shun Leung doing Chum Kiu:
Wong Shun Leung doing the dummy:
Just a note.....that original footage of Ip Man was put up by Sam Kwok. Kwok has learned from both Ip brothers and I am sure would maintain that HE is doing exactly what Ip Man taught! From what I have seen, he does things quite differently from WSL people!
