Greetings to All;
My name is Erik Oliva. I am a teacher and student under Sifu Alan Goldberg
of the Lau Wai Wing Chun Tong(Jason Lau Wing Chun School).
My reason in writing to every one, is to create a communication with the
entire
Wing Chun Community World Wide. There are many families of Wing Chun that are
not aware of eachother, and many different methods that have been created to use
integrate Wing Chun into daily living.
From my research, many styles of Wing Chun have been created, some have
legite lineage and some do not. It seems that their is a separation in the
existence of Wing Chun. This separation has caused many families to disregard
eachother. This outcome does not play well for the history of our Wing Chun Kung
Fu.
With separation and ego within Wing Chun, we can all be sure to have a
scattered future and confused history of our lineage and techniques,principles,
etc. This will also familiarize everyone on the many false styles of Wing Chun
being created in vain. Keep Wing Chun pure, and it will live on throughout
history in a complete manner.
My gaol is to work together with the Lineage holders, teachers and students
of the World Wide Community of Wing Chun Kung Fu, to preserve the many stories
in Wing Chun history according to each specific lineage, particular form
practice, ideas and methods of workinig with Wing Chun Kung Fu.
We all play a part in preserving our family history of Wing Chun. Now we can
reach world wide to other families and share our knowledge and familiarity with
Wing Chun Kung Fu.
I have created an egroups focused on this cause. I ask the Moderators of each
of these groups to allow me to add their egroup addresses to the mailing list of
the egroups I have created in light of Wing Chun Unification.
Thank You all for your time and patience. I look forward to the day we can all
work together as a family in Wing Chun Kung Fu.
Erik Oliva,
Lau Wai Wing Chun Tong
