From: "Randall Sugrue" To: "WCKF" Sent: Monday, July 31, 2000
9:47 AM Subject: Letter for Sifu Duncan Leung Sifu, I received
your five volume video cassette series "Wing Chun Kung Fu" just a few
days ago. The prompt delivery is much appreciated. I have been
studying wing chun over the past 13 years and have been exposed to a
broad spectrum of wing chun interpretations during those years. I
also have an exhaustive collection of video cassettes (62 in
all) on the topic of wing chun.I wasn't really sure what to expect
when I purchased your videos. I was introduced to a very basic
example of your wing chun approach (through Sifu Allan Lee back in
1997-1998). But your basics were more effective than most other wing
chun instructors' "advanced" material, so I was intrigued. After
viewing ALL five of your video cassettes over the past three days, I
can say in earnest that your collection is arguably the most concise
compendium of wing chun kung fu information available today. In
my opinion, it is the best collection of wing chun video cassettes
I have ever seen. I am usually not so generous in issuing such
compliments but your collection not deserves it: your collection
warrants it. This is no exaggeration, but your videos
clearly answered several key questions I had within the system for
years that other sifus could not (or would not) answer for me. The
effect your material has had on me has not been profound; I have not
had felt such revelation about wing chun since the earliest days
of training. It is like looking at a work of art that you've
appreciated for years, and then suddenly discovering something within
(or about) that work that makes you understand and appreciate it like
you never did before. Simply saying that this letter is an
endorsement or testimonial for the videos would only diminish
their true merit. If I have any regrets about purchasing your
videos, it's only that I did not purchase them sooner. Your
collection goes beyond recommendation; in my opinion, your collection
is a necessity for any serious practitioner of wing chun. And for
those who are not wing chun practitioners, your collection
would only make them better martial artists in their respective
disciplines. I suppose the true motive behind this letter is
to offer my most sincere thanks to you for sharing such invaluable
material with those, like myself, from outside your circle. I can
only hope that your pupils know how fortunate they are to have you as
their wing chun kung fu sifu. Sincerely, Randall Sugrue Wing
chun instructor and lifelong student. Buffalo, New York.
