Snake Crane may be the most important Wing Chun style today. Someone unfamiliar with the style or familiar with other , more popular styles may ask what separate this style from all other and makes it so important. It may come as a surprise to many but it is not its history that makes it more "original" than others or some "secret, superior techniques" or any of the other things exploited in merciless marketing for decades in almost all other styles.
What makes Snake Crane Wing Chun so important is the fact that this low key style is probably the only island of sanity in otherwise completely crazy and cut-off-reality Wing Chun world. Infantile behavior , complete absence of rational or in most cases any kind of thinking, cult like organizations , Sifu worshiping, lies , hype, exaggeration, politics and constant in fighting for money, members, prestige ...that is Wing Chun world today.
On the other hand Snake Crane Wing Chun and people who practice it, and there are not more 200 in whole history of the style are totally different.
While "ancestors" of all other styles were superhuman and they achieved feats impossible for a the rest of us mere mortals and biographies equal to old gods , ancestors of Snake Crane Wing Chun were just average people with average jobs and common lives. Their kung fu abilities did not surpassed the ability of common people, Yes, they were masters of their styles but without god like powers all that bullshit that follows other "ancestors" like fighting 300 dead fights or breaking a gun with two fingers or fighting twelve people with knives. On the other hand Snake Crane Wing Chun ancestors have no one else has, a documented history that proves everything said about them, making them what they already are , real , verifiable historical figures who participate in real, again documented historical events , Not only that Snake Crane ancestors are real people without any doubt because we have their photos personal documents , school certificates, public records...we have no doubt in actions they did during their lives. Maybe having an "ancestor" who did not have superpowers nor saved the worlds is not romantic and it is probably boring for most people, but for normal , adult , rational person that is exactly the reason why would be he interested in that style.
Snake Crane history, unlike other stories called by the same name in other styles , is actually a history in full meaning of that word. History of the style is well documented from several independent sources and its only purpose is to present historical facts. Documents goes as far as 1890, before that there is not sufficient evidence to draw any final conclusion and that part of the history is clearly marked as "mythical". In SCWC history elements of legends and myths , deliberate or accidental mistakes , hype, exaggeration , and like in many other style;s history-outright lies, politics.. simply cannot be found .
Snake Crane Wing Chun theoretical and technical part is completely translated from old Cantonese and presented to all members in a modern, scientific style , easy to understand and apply . While some teachers like to use Chinese terms while teaching , some do not . There is nothing hard to understand, nothing "secret" or esoteric , nor too 'scientific" explanations so popular these day, no pseudo science , simply there are no gaps in explanations which are direct consequence of the things mentioned above. Snake Crane Wing Chun theoretical and technical base is simple, logical , easy to test , does not go against medicine and science in any detail , in fact it is based in them.
There are no "secret, underground" fights nor street fighting. Not even one of Snake Crane Wing Chun people, today as well in the past, were involved in breaking a low in any way. Snake Crane people are ordinary, family oriented people, most with high education and very good at their jobs. There are no street thugs nor psychopaths (which is the only way to gain extensive street experience). This does not mean SCWC people cannot fight and have no experience. Some are war veterans , some have been train in military and some in police special units, some competed in martial contact sports. As we can see all these people had good training and experience and they do not have any need to lie and invent fairy tales, on the other hands no one brags, just like adult , mature person should behave.
Snake Crane Wing Chun nor any of the members do not have any connections with some "secret" societies. In Wing Chun circles it is not rare case that people brag about their connection to organized crime gropes ,while even more people stating the same for their "Sifus" like that is some kind of great achievement. In Snake Crane Wing Chun , ordinary, normal , family people with normal jobs and normal lives are all aware of the damage, sorrow and pain organized crime bring to the society. There are no infantile people who worship anti heroes and are unaware or totally do not care about the effect of crime gropes on common people, Moral norms and ethics are on the highest level, people who do not comply with this requirements are simply expelled. We like healthy and safe environment for our own kids and all other kids we are teaching at the first place and for all others. Snake Crane Wing Chun and its people strongly stand behind the upholding and promotion of universal positive moral and ethical values.
In SCWC no one compares what we are doing with other styles, we simply do what we do, others do their things , that is all.
SCWC people practice the art simply because they love it, no one want to become an "assassin" , a street fighter, anti Qing rebel, new Bruce Lee, new Yip Man, or whatever the reason people these days start Wing Chun for.
In SCWC no one cares about all the bullshit that follow Wing Chun lately how it is ineffective , outdated, doesn't "work" on the "street" ... we simply do our thing the way we like it ,if anyone has problem with that ...well that is his problem. We do not even try to prove anything to anyone. When you think about it , who should anyone prove anything , some infantile character who thinks the most important thing on the world is to be strong? That is thinking on the level of elementary school kids. Like it was said before, SCWC people have families , jobs, all of them are respected members of their communities, imagine how adult person looks in the eyes of his neighbors when he talks about what "works" and doesn't "work" on the "street". Funny isn't it? Yet majority of Wing Chun people are doing just that.Well not SCWC.
If you want to practice serious Wing Chun with serious, good people without all the baggage other, more popular styles are bringing along , Snake Crane Wing Chun is the right style for you.
