First of all, I think you have a misconception. As a general rule, the Wing Chun masters of the past did not borrow from other systems. Wing Chun Kung Fu is a comprehensive system, capable of dealing with any fighting exigency which might arise (involving two arms and two legs) -- subject, however, to one's applicable knowledge of this particular martial art. It is only necessary to resort to techniques from other systems if one does not fully understand and apply his own system. Let me give you an analogy: one's ability to express himself in a language is conditioned by the fluency in that tongue.

As I have consistently stated in this forum, I would prefer to master one system well than to gain a superficial knowledge of several systems.
