3rd Black Belt
Hi, I'm new here. I've participated very little in another martial arts forum, but I'm not interested in arguing with people on-line about who's tougher. Want to give MT a fair try and will do my best to be a supportive member.
I started boxing in the 80s, then did a year of tkd and about 3 or 4 years of Muay Thai, then Daito Ryu Jujitsu and (and some dabbling in a few other things) before starting wing chun in the late 90s. I train and teach straight wing chun in the Duncan Leung lineage and am studying (but not teaching or mixing) Fujian crane on the side.
It's complimentary for me and helps me make some sense of my wing chun, but I treat it as a separate style. I've got some good friends in town who are respected Karate senseis and we touch hands now and again. I like that they do what they do and that I do what I do and we all respect each other and get along just fine, so I'm hoping that it can be the same here. I've been enjoying my week or so of reading your collective posts.
