Title: what a load of bullshit

Robert never learned from my sigung wang kiu and never from sifu Henk Roelofsen. He was a student of my sifu Johnny Ryckewaert Sr. And this for a short time. He is for shure not the successor in Belgium !!!! My sifu is and he has the papers to proof it. He is a fake. He is a student of victor khan NOT Wang Kiu! My belgian wang kiu federation that i run with my sifu is the only reqonized organisation of wang kiu in belgium. We are also in association with the true successor in Holland Dick Wachteberger , he nows this all. So i hope this will be corrected. Many greetings and respect, Sifu Johnny Ryckewaert Jr.

Title: Sifu Bruggeman does not claim

<p>Sifu Bruggeman does not claim to be a Sifu under Wang Kiu, only Victor Kan.  As he does not claim the Wang Kiu lineage, only that he trained with it for a little while, the entry seems fine as-is; but your comments have been noted and are published.</p>
