Greetings, Fellow WC Practitioners and Enthusiasts:
While posts in this page are few and far between, I want to make a public statement regarding my connection to my former Wing Chun teacher.
The connection a teacher and his/her student share can be a meaningful and enriching experience. In many martial arts families, that connection becomes enhanced when a teacher accepts that student as a disciple. In this situation, both parties enjoy certain benefits and commit to certain responsibilities. It is a bond that is not easily broken.
This brings me to the purpose of this post. I became a student of SiFu Dustan Carroll in 2011 and learned under him until 2014. I will not disclose details of the separation, but I will state that I trained hard during my time with him, despite the fact that I lived three hours from his school. Since 2014, I have trained with my SiGung - SiFu Doc Savage - and he has been more than gracious in sharing his knowledge, wisdom, and experience.
I will continue training under SiFu Savage, and I have no intention or interest in ever reconciling with Dustan Carroll. I have not used his name, image, or brand to promote myself or my training group, and I never will. Though I will not speak ill of him in this post, I want to state publicly that I disavow any connection I ever had with Dustan Carroll, as well as any responsibilities or obligations between us (on his part or mine, real or imagined).
Thank you.

What NOBODY on YouTube Will Tell YOU about FIGHTS & SELF DEFENCE!!! Most People train the wrong way for the wrong fight. Fail to prepare, then you prepare to fail. You may learn how to fight or even defend yourself against so...
Sometimes you gotta put a little kung fu fajing on the Devil. lol
