Dear Bao,
Thank for your reply. However, owing to my poor communication skills and choice of words you have partially misunderstood my question. This is due to my part and I wish to apology to you, if you feel that I have being unfair to Sifu Leung.

What I meant by past masters - the people who can use their martial skills in a fight regardless whether they are alive or dead. Those are the people who could improve their own fighting systems, because they have the skill and understand about fighting.
What I meant by modern day practitioners - people who enjoy fast food service and do not want to spend the time to train properly, but would like people to consider them as experts in martial arts. Also those who have not been trained properly in any martial arts. This including myself.

Would you honestly believe people like me who have not been taught properly, with very little real fighting experience. Who have to read up on books and articles in the internet inorder to understand what wing chun is about; to improve my wing chun skill by myself without a teacher?
If I told you that I can improve my wing chun and start teaching people wing chun, but without going through the same training method as Sifu Leung. Would you belive my claim? No, you would not and instead you would call me a conman and a liar. You will also said that I am conning my students.
The real meaning of my question is why students like me who have access of a lot of information about wing chun, but still can not apply it or imrove it. I know I can improve some aspect of wing chun in theory, but can I do it in practise. The answer is no.
Why?
This is what I really after
