The Schools Of Kung Fu by IWKA Wing Chun system is complete because it has its root in the following lineages:
- Various forms of Ip Man Wing Chun.
- Lo Family Wing Chun.
- Chan Wha Sun Wing Chun
- Information from the secret societies
- Gu lo Wing Chun; Leung Jan System
- Wing Chun (1948)
- Yik Kam Wing Chun
- 1700’s Snake Crane Wing Chun and Wing Chun (1854)
- Tai Zo, Lohan and other systems based on Wing Chun
- Yuen Kay San Wing Chun
- Fukien Wing Chun Bak hok; Fujian Yong Chun Baihe.
- Tang Family Wing Chun
The study of these lineages has helped in recreating the complete forms of most systems. For example, the Ip Man system’s Long Pole form is only a portion of the real Luk Dim Poon Kwan as seen in Tang Yick Wing Chun system.
The study of these lineages also helps to bring back all the principles and concepts that were in the original system and now shared among numerous lineages.

The differences between Schools Of Kung Fy By IWKA system and other lineages are not limited to the ones stated above. Though some of the other lineages may have some of the above mentioned features, none of them can boast of having everything. This is due to the sacrifice and the hard work that Sifu Sergio put into research and enabling him to create a special curriculum for his association. The curriculum is based on the two sister branches of Wing Chun namely; Beautiful Spring and Eternal Spring and also on the Fujian Yong Chun Bai He ancestor (Fujian White Crane) and EMEI (credited for creating the special snake engine, especially snake slide worm moves which was wide known in first and ancient Siu Nim Tao, 1700).
We are going to careful analyse the following:
- As pointed out by Chan Buddhism, Eternal spring is not right in Chan. “Nothing is permanent” is the major philosophy held by Chan Buddhism. So how could anything be eternal when they don’t believe that anything can last forever? The essence of Chan Buddhism would be ridiculed if a spring hall in Shaolin temple is named hall eternal spring.
- The term Chi Sim is actually a Confucius term since it can be found in Chinese Confucius teachings. So it would be a wrong thing to this terms for a Buddhist monk and a Buddhist hall. However, it is known that the Tien Tee Hui mixed Daoism, Buddhism and Confusism in Qi dynasty. Therefore, the Chi Sim and eternal spring hall is a representation of Tien Tee Hui as against being related to Buddhism.
- White crane of Fujian is a Tien Tee Hui art, It is only reasonable that southern shaolin is a pseudonym of Tien Tee Hui.
- It is highly possible that certain Tien Tee Hui sector or group owns the Eternal spring hall. It is definite that a special type of Fujian or white crane related martial art is being practiced in a hall somewhere which is not related to Chan Buddhist Shaolin temple.
(Several troupers were killed and the Fine Jade hall was burned down when a Qing army led by Yip Ming Shun, governor of Canton, attacked the Red Boat opera Union in 1855. This act was later referred to as a deliberate act by Hung Mun secret society or Anti Qing to destroy the Fine Jade Hall, the Red Boat Opera. The Cantonese Opera was banned for a period of 15 years following the incident of Fine Jade hall. After fifteen years, the Eight Harmony hall of Cantonese opera was opened and it has being in operation till this day).
