Wing Chun Illustrated Magazine Issued No.16 - The Secret of Wing Chun by Sifu Danny Xuan

"Because many Wing Chun practitioners have migrated from other fighting systems, they tend to bring with them fixed mind-sets from their previous arts into Wing Chun, which are not only contrary to basic Wing Chun concepts, but also extremely contradictory. Also, many newcomers bring with them misconceptions of Wing Chun from what they have seen before in the movies, YouTube clips, or television documentaries. They imagine Wing Chun to be a fast-punching, high-kicking, and bountiful-blocking fighting system. These misconceptions just feed off each other like a cancer, and subsequently they get bigger and bigger; consequently, the glitter of these spectacular misconceptions overshadows the truth."
