This is a incredible great episode. What your guest mentioned towards the end of the video, the one part of the video about knife protection and the context of an attacker with a knife needs to be more known to people, especially the vulnerable. I had a buddy about 20 years ago that was a serious Martial Artists in Wing Chun (Gold Sash), Black Belt in Kenpo, Purple Belt in Tae Kwon Do, Boxed both Amateur and Pro and studied a little bit of “Japanese” Jujitsu and JKD. Whenever we hung out in public, he always looked over his shoulder, figuratively speaking. I never understood it, until now.

What suck out is when he said when people come to learn how to defend themselves that they need to train their mindset and accept that I need to hurt and injury this person because that person is trying to do the same thing to me. In addition, not being afraid to get hit because the reality of it, you gonna get hit in a fight. No matter how experience or what rank hold in the your particular martial art.

Hi Alex and Dre. Just coming on here and singing praises for your podcast. Great fun and highly educational. I have a question and hope maybe you guys can shed some light on an event that happened. As we all know many styles seem to compete on who's the best and also who is teaching the best style of martial arts. I grew up mainly in the 1970's and 80's taking different styles of fighting. I never stood with one fighting method because i wanted to be a well rounded fighter. One of the systems I took was Wing Chun. I was always fascinated by it because obviously it was a system Bruce Lee had trained in and made a bit famous during that time period. But back in 1986 ( I was in Germany at this time and was in the US army) there was a an incident between Wing Chun master William Cheung and Emin Boztepe. This short skirmish was a huge deal back in the day because of the rivalry between William and Leung Ting . Like the Bruce Lee fight between he and Wong Jack Man, this fight was short and produced two sides of who was the winner and loser? I hope maybe you guys would like to speak about this legendary rivalry between both men and the different styles of Wing Chun for which both men were teaching ? Thanks for a great podcast. Thanks, Loren, Portillo

As a matter of fact, and not to throw any shade, but people asking me about the EB versus WC thing is becoming a running joke on the podcast. Something akin to “wow that was a really fantastic breakdown of the history and development of the wooden dummy techniques across Yip Man’s 22 year teaching period in Hong Kong. I particularly like the part about how the dummy itself changed over time and the techniques underwent a few revisions until 1966. But now on to more pressing matters… What do you think of the EB versus WC fight in 1986?“ 😫

@@TheKungFuGenius I caught up and listed to a few more of your episodes ( again I am pretty new to it) and heard you speaking about the very event, so I felt kind of felt stupid asking. I was in Germany during that time period. I was supposed to go to that event, but sadly missed it. I just recall hearing all kinds of shit( pre- internet) about the rivalry. Most of it in print in Kung Fu magazines. I always felt and still do that in-fighting among styles and systems is bullshit. My philosophy has always been Bruce Lee's view. Take and use what is useful to you and disregard what is not. Everyone is different. There is no such thing as who is the best because no one can prove that... Waaaatahhhh !

I appreciate Sifu Phillips knowledge of social fighting & aggressive fighting but, I respectfully disagree with him not mixing up some of the other martial arts at his school.
