A DECLARATION
At the beginning of 2000, our website was
in the process of being amended, and unfortunately before we were able to
renew our Domain name, a Dutch student who had attended classes with Sifu
Tam, decided to buy our Domain name. We were unaware that he had done so
and only found out quite recently. Upon investigation, this student became
extremely belligerent and defensive, and it became obvious to us that he
knew he had done something on the sly, but wasn't prepared to be
honourable about it, in the way that behoves a Kung Fu brother. As part of
his reason for going ahead and using a domain and trade name without
consulting us, is because he apparently feels that his school is bigger
than ours and international, since he has allegedly opened schools in the
USA and Europe. He has also made use of the word, 'International' in the
new name and we are sure that he does not understand that therefore he has
opened a school with the same name as Grandmaster Leung Ting's school - in
Chinese, Wing Tjun international is spelt the same way. We are therefore
watching this space for the fight that will ensue with Grandmaster Leung
Ting! However, this meant that we had no option but to register our
website at our new domain name. In any case, as we have already left the
EWTO a while ago, we prefer to use the entire title of our school, Tam Yiu
Ming Wing Tjun Kung Fu Acadamy. We are including the above explanation, so
that there will be no misunderstanding at all. We are not now related to,
nor have ever before had any connection with the Dutch Wing Tjun school or
any of its alleged branches anywhere else in the world, nor have any of
their students, including their headman, received any recognition or
grading from our Academy.
