Talking with the waiter and I find out he was a student of Ip Chun who also taught in Hong Kong, is new to the area, and not sure if he is going to teach here.

Wasn’t there a movie like this :D

Stay on him and plead your case....you've done some WC in the past and you train other CMA so you're not a beginner.
This would be a great opportunity for you to learn privately and by giving you a running start, when he does start teaching, he would have someone to help out a bit.

I already have a Taijiquan sifu from Tung Ying Chieh and this month the universe has also thrown me a Baguazhang/Xingyiquan sifu too… and now this… my brain hurts

Did I mention the group of senior students of Fak Tak Ling (student of Leung Sheung) that I train with from time to time :EG:

It is strange, I have been looking for years and found nothing and now I get hammered with all this in the last 3 months, well not the Taiji sifu, I have been training with him for years.

Never leave his sight. Dog his steps constantly. Quit your job and start working where he works.

When you go there for lunch, non chalantly stand on the table and practice your Siu Nim Tao form while you wait for your food..
He will be so impressesd with your dedication that he will accept you as his student.....or the manager will throw you out, which is a very real possibility.

Sounds great opportunity.
It would be nice to take someone a gift, ask politely and leave.

Did you tell him you've also practiced a bit of Wing Chun? Make it informal... tell him you've had trouble finding folk to workout with and see if he's willing to workout with you? Most people new to an area WANT a partner so they can continue to sharpen their skills.

We talked a bit, he knows I did siu lim tao and a bit of Chi Sau as well as Taijiquan. I go to this place at least once a month so maybe next time I go I will talk to him a bit more. He was not sure if he was going to teach here or not.

no worries, I'm not training Wing Chun these days anyway.

However if I ever decide to there is a guy I did train with briefly that impressed the hell out of me with his knowledge of Wing Chun, his very relaxed approach, and his overall good attitude.

But at the moment it is only Yang style taijiquan
