Seattle Story 3
As promised, the story about an incident that happened to the travelling Wing Chun Sifu. On the last part of his trip across the States, he ended up in a school in a mid-south state and was busy showing some students there a Wing Chun technique (although, it is generally considered that Wing Chun is based on principles, not techniques). Apparently, the Sifu at that school, which I understood was at least partially a Wing Chun school, didn't like what the travelling teacher was doing, so he came over and asked to be shown the technique. Before our guy could get ready the other guy hit the travelling teacher directly in the face. Our guy debated long into the night as to wheather he should report the incident. I understood that he finally did. I don't know if the guy was arrested or not. Anyway, it was certainly uncalled for to do that sort of thing. Our man was just being a great, friendly guy and maybe some of the things he was teaching didn't agree with this schools thought process or the unfriendly Sifu's process but it was not necessary to resort to this kind of violence. He could have just nicely asked our guy to leave and I'm sure that he would have left. More next time.
