Some of you may remember my post regarding the episode of Wing Tsun on Fight Quest. If not, you can find it here. I have some update news for you pertaining to the episode. I was recently informed by a fellow reader of my blog that could explain why the quality of WT may not have been to a certain standard that we are normally accustomed to.
1)At the end of the show, the hosts were assigned to fight two wing chun people. The way the show was portrayed, the two wing chun people were of Leung Ting lineage. Apparently, this isn’t true. Instead, they are actually of VT lineage. There was a designated fighter from the WT lineage that flew to Hong Kong for the show but was not scheduled to be part of the show.
2)Due to potential liability issues, the range of attacks was limited to chain punches. That explains why we only see chain punching.
3)Finally, the hosts refused to fight instructor level fighters.
Well there you have it – the other side of the story. Did this really happen? I don’t know. But what’s to say it didn’t, right?
Until then.
