Excellent!!!

Very well done indeed. 🙂

Very few points to make, the obvious one was your seeing the fish line in section 8 which caused you to hiccup, a perfect reason why training forms helps us to stay in the moment the same as chi sau and sparring does.
While on sec. 8… after your kick you do need to step through there, so landing in…[Read more]

Thank you Sifu,

This was a key indicator for me to ensure I’m heading in the right general direction. Refinement next.

Best regards,

Richard, my dear friend.

We do tend to wait until all entries have had a chance to be collected and then they are watched over and over again, and unfortunately for you…

Not sure how to break this to you but…

CONGRATULATIONS!

You passed!

Really well done, SO glad you stuck with it and amazing progress to say you’d not done Wing Chun…[Read more]

Hi Tom and welcome to the executive washroom! LOL

I just wanted to run a few checks before getting back to you to make sure what I was saying was correct, as we really want you to have a smooth ride.

The usually way is to video yourself on your phone etc., upload it to a youtube channel (setting up your own of course) and then send me the link…[Read more]

Hello Sifu,

My turn to quickly check in, mostly because I haven’t tried an online grading before and I’ve no idea how long the process generally takes.

Best regards,
Richard

Does that make sense?

Thanks Sifu

Awesome sir!

Hi Lee,

Let me answer this as separate questions, oh and btw, I recorded a piece for a blog on Tuesday which I will be releasing on Saturday, in this post I discuss the intent behind a turning punch when defending with Tan and it’s different outcome, so do look out for this.
Please ask me tonight about this too as I covered this on Monday but…[Read more]

Hi Seth,

Yes indeed this is a common thing (I wanted to say issue or problems but then again… it’s not really a problem).

Usually this is simply because your punches are going too far out, try starting closer and then increasing the distance?

Most people do this, and I bet you find your butt shakes too eh?

Practice will solve this, also try…[Read more]

I will certainly make this happen at some point for you then, I probably do have a few clips I can throw on for you but a full class can be arranged. 🙂

I had another thought Sifu.

If on the dummy is this where I practice staying in the centre when doing a turn. Regardless of the move. Tan and punch feels congested but the aim should be to keep my centre pointed to the dummy’s centre ( between the arms)

Hi Sifu
Yes I am curious to see what the difference is between traditional Martial Arts R.E TAE KWON DO, KARATE JUDO, Aikido ect…
Example warm up, drills, pad work ect..
Perhaps just do it once, so those interested can see what happens.
I for one am very interested to see the differences if any.
I understand the technology issue,but would…[Read more]

Hi Michael,

Originally that was the idea, to have a camera in one of my classes.

There were two reason this didn’t work out so well, the first was that there was no signal (a poor excuse because I later realised that I could just use the 4G on my phone via a hotspot) but the second (and main) reason was that it ‘may have’ been a bit boring as of…[Read more]
