Ip Man might be Bruce Lee's master, but Bruce created his own unique style by adding high kicks and fast punches. Wing Chun itself has no kicking at all!

Bruce Lee had not learned all the Wing Chun style because he went to america.

Ip Man and Bruce





http://baike.baidu.com/view/53376.htm

李小龙约在1956年间，在利达街武馆内拜入叶问门下，而他确是相当投入，从不缺课，但因移民美国，可惜未能连续学完所有拳法。发达后的李小龙，曾再亲访叶师，希望能学得咏春拳的木人桩法。并提出以一间楼宇的代价请叶师亲自示范全部咏春木人桩法，由李氏拍摄成影片携带回美国自行学习，但却被叶问所拒，若干弟子则认为李小龙之优厚条件，师父未能接纳，以为可惜，但叶师其本人意愿是只要求学者有心学技，则全力传授，绝不把功夫当成商品房出售，最重要的是更不能厚此薄彼，此种大家长作风，更为其门下弟子所爱戴。[/B]

My Chinese Doctor Mr Xu told me the best style of Shaolin kung fu is Qin-Na
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chin_Na

[Yellow Fever]

Chin Na is similar to japan's aikido and brazil's jujisu which is very popular in North America. Most of the fighters in the famous UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) use this style.

Shaolin Temple's kung fu monks prepare IPO

The 1,500-year-old Shaolin Temple, the birthplace of kung fu, is preparing for a 1bn yuan (£85m) initial public offering (IPO), government sources have confirmed.




A joint venture between Dengfeng, the city where the ancient Buddhist temple is located, and the state-run China Travel Service (CTS) will be listed in either Hong Kong or Shanghai in 2011.

CTS (Dengfeng) Songshan Shaolin Cultural Tourist Company Ltd will have the temple's annual ticket sales of 150m yuan as part of its revenues. However, a government source said that the temple's buildings would not be included in the new company.



Everybody was kung fu fightingMore than 1.6 million tourists visited the site in Henan province last year in order to visit its prayer halls and see the temple's monks perform their kungfu show. The Shaolin Temple also performs a stage show that has toured London and New York.

According to legend, the destruction of the temple by its enemies in the 17th century helped to spread martial arts across China as five fugitive monks carried their kung fu with them.

"The joint venture will promote tourism in the region," said the government source. "But the assets of the temple itself, and its cultural heritage, will not be part of the group," he added.

CTS is expected to take a 51pc stake in the venture after contributing a cash investment. A spokesman for the travel agency said he could not comment on the deal. According to the Oriental Morning Post newspaper in Shanghai, the two sides signed a draft agreement on October 21 and Dengfeng city has agreed to inject 6m yuan into the venture.

The IPO will do little to help the public image of Shi Yongxin, the 44-year-old abbot who has presided over the monastery for a decade, transforming it into a global brand.

Mr Shi's critics claim that he has allowed one of the cradles of Zen Buddhism to become crassly commercial.

Last year, Mr Shi began to franchise out his operation, taking over the management of a number of temples in Yunnan. Rumours suggest that Shaolin also has its eyes on a site in Taiwan.

The front of the Shaolin temple has also been used in recent years as the backdrop to an open-entry kungfu competition and a swimsuit-clad beauty pageant.

Defenders of Mr Shi, who has become known as the "CEO monk" in China, say that the temple was run-down and derelict before he took over, after the suppressions of the Cultural Revolution.

Mr Shi himself has said he is "not a businessman" and that he doesn't "hold shares" in the temple.
