Nice vocabulary compilation.

I tend to shy away from most vocabulary outside of the basics because of the disparity and lack of uniformity in terms. So I use terms in English or Spanish (I live in Puerto Rico).

Thanks.
 
Your not wrong there Prof , wouldn't it be great if sometime in the future the terms could be standardised right across the board so that we all knew what the hell each other was talking about .

It would make life in the Wing Chun / Wing Tsun/ Weng Chun universe a lot easier don't you think .
 
Yea, the problem would be that there are people of different chinese dialects, Different lineages an much more. Also I have found in different lineages some of the english words are really different too.

Ha Ha Ha... right.

Like that's possible when we can't even agree on an English spelling of our style!

In fact, I think I'm going to declare myslf a Wing Txun stylist. That's because I'm an ex-Wing Tsunner. Wing TXun --get it? Also, it looks kind of Mayan or Aztec, and that's cool too. Que piensas tu, profe?

Oh, and while on the subject, Juan, could you post some of your descriptive terms for WC techniques in Spanish? I think that would be very interesting. Spanish is a major language in these parts too. Thanks.

Hey! That would work well for a Texan WT/WC school! lol!
Wing TXun - That is sooo groovy! lol! Gonna have to steal it from you! ;)
 
im all for sticking to traditional names for techniques,but a punch in the face is still a punch in the face eh ?

to be honest i just dont get all the this lineage that lineage,to me its all wingchun no matter who, what, when, or how many .

i hear what style of wingchun do you do ?..what style? wingchun style eh ?
 
Well if someone does Yip Man I can understand a little of what they do. Plus I like to study the differences of yip man from my lineage. Its all very interesting. I have no clue to anything about Moy Yot, I think thats the spelling. I never met any one from there. So i don't know how close to yip man they are.
