Question received by email from
George Depuy on Nov 7th.
Can someone learn the system of wing
chun from your videos? I have someone to train with here, and how
long does it take to become proficient in the art of wing chun to
defend oneself against a black belt in another
style?

The videos are an adjunct
instructional tool, and are not meant to replace a qualified teacher
who has to observe and correct youur practice. You can learn from my
videos only if you have some Wing Chun training, and someone with
whom to practice.
As for how long it takes to become proficient
in the art of Wing Chun to defend oneself, that is dependent on a
number of factors:
how qualified is your instructor
how
intensively do you train
how many hours a the day and days of the
week do you train
Some of my regular students who have trained
for little more than a year are able to fight fairly well. Others
take two to three years to get to the same level.
The colour of
the belt doesn't indicate much in actuality. There may be a world of
difference between a 20-year-old, 6'2", 180 lb. brown belt and a
16-year-old, 5'6", 120 lb. black belt. A person's ability cannot
always be measured by the colour of their belt. It all depends on
the individual. I only use my belt to hold up my pants, not as an
indication of my
ability.
