Did emin boztepe really fought to william cheung?

If he did, could he manage to beat him?


and if he managed to beat him does not that show wing chun is not a very good way of self defence?

Did emin boztepe really fought to william cheung?
Answer is Yes and No. Please read on.....


During a seminar in New York City Leung Ting asked for a volunter from the audience to demonstrate some type of palm technique. A member of the audience who was of William Chuengs lineage, and wearing one of his T-Shirts stepped up. During the "demonstration" this person managed to strike Leung Ting once. William Cheung had no knowledge of this incident until after it happened and he reprimmaned the students involved.





A short time later William Cheung was invited to do a seminar in Germany. When he arrived for the seminar there were members of the news media there. He did a photo shoot prior to the start of the seminar. During the seminar he was approached by Emin who wanted to fight. Long Story short Emin had a group of people and video and still photography equipment. Emin made reference to some article in which William Cheung had made statements concerning the superiority of his version of Wing Chun and stated he would fight anyone anytime to prove it. The fight ensued and lasted approximate 25-30 seconds. Both people went to the ground.





Emin got up and left along with his group of people. Wiliam Cheung completed the seminar but cancelled the second day. Neither party was injured and despite claims made by both sides there was no "obvious" victor. I have had the opportunity to view both the "edited" and "unedited" versions of the video and they are, IMO, inconclusive.





A short time after this incident Victor Parliti, a student of William Cheungs, visited one of Leung Tings instructors in New York, Andrew Draheim and a repeat occurred. Again with both sides claiming victory.





Since then things have coold off a bit. Both sides made statements and challenges but nothing ever came of it.
Reply:where can I find a video of these supposed masters fighting..


I wanna watch them "play"
Reply:It took place a long time ago...1986 I think. You can watch it on YouTube. Just don't expect a picture perfect "wing chun" fight!
