I teach Leung Ting WT in the uk. Anyone else who trains or teaches Wt?

Well, there's not much left here to comment on. Always best to get familiar with the forum policy before posting.

Anyway, as for myself, I'm no longer affiliated with any of the trademarked "WT" groups, even though that is my background. Before becoming independent, my current instructor not only headed up the WT organization in the US for many years, but also trained in Hong Kong and with the EWTO in Germany. He received his first masters level rank directly from LT. So of course I try to keep up with what's going on with the EWTO via their website and youtube. Someday if the craziness of WC/WT politics ever permits, I'd love to visit Europe and train under some of my instructor's old EWTO teachers. What they can do is amazing.

The EWTO headman, GM Keith Kernspecht has developed a fascinating way of applying his WT that is very soft and fluid, almost taiji-like, except more compressed and efficient. Here's a clip:

BTW I wonder how come the EWTO website is no longer available in English ...except by very clumsy computer translation? Anybody know?

I've wondered the same thing. I looked forward to his editorials every month.

Nope. I trained here in the states under LT and am currently with Jeff Webb's NVTO. Back in the late 80's I did have a chance to experience working with Emin when he took charge of LT's organization for a while. I've also run into him a couple of times since when I went to study Escrima with Rene Latosa.
