I’ve recently started a warehouse job for DHL where I’m on my feet all day and I’m moving very heavy loads non stop. Consequently, I’m very tired 24/7 (I’m 49 and no spring chicken!) and the thought of standing on my feet for an hour and practicing Wing Chun before work is a no no. So, I’ve done no wing chun for two weeks as I’m knackered (slang…[Read more]

Enjoyed this weeks online class Sifu (I watched it offline – It means I can pause it and take notes:) Some of it was over my head but there were some good tips/advice there. Looking forward to the next one.

Hi Sifu, I’m a blast from the past (Who? Exactly Sifu! hehe)

Anyway, I just did my first online class (offline). I learned a lot and it was quite fun! I was doing beginner Ving Tsun lessons in London (Wong Shun Leung lineage so it has a tad different Siu Lim Tao) but they’ve been closed for 4 months now O_o so I drifted off a bit.

Hopefully they…[Read more]

Thanks for the Mo Jong search Sifu,

There’s some blogs I do need to read through. I’ve also contacted them about the dummy.

Cheers. I’ll leave you alone now!

Ah! Ignore that last bit on the hand exercises. I just looked at the videos following the wall bag (1.3). My bad! Cool! I’ll get to it!

Hi Sifu.

I went with rice in the end (to fill the wall bag) At 45p a bag from Sainsbury’s, it only cost £3.80 to fill (8.5KGs) so that’s very cheap. Chick peas were very pricey. Plus, I love the texture of hitting boiled rice…

If the blow up love doll of death is £50 P&P, I’ll have one. At £135, (as advertised on the site) that’s a bit too mu…[Read more]

Hi Sifu,

Thanks for your suggestion on chick peas. I did as you said, the only trouble was, as soon as I hit the bag, the water from the canned chick peas sprayed out and hit me in the eye. I had to spend 8 hours in A&E last night.

Hehe..I’m just joking, I haven’t filled it with anything at the moment..I need to get head out of backside, been a…[Read more]

That would be good sifu. I won’t wear my Millwall top in Leeds though, otherwise I’ll need all my Wing Chun skills to survive lol 🙂 Can I ask, what do you think of these plastic dummies? I have a cold downstairs tiny ‘basement’ so I think a wooden dummy would probably die due to the cold. I’m also conscious of the noise of a wooden dummy in my…[Read more]

Ok. Let’s do it then. My three section wall bag punch thingy came today. So once I’ve plonked in 10KGs (my lord) of rice and figured out how to attach the sodding thing to the wall, I can get punching practice!

Hi Lee

I live on the Bromley / Lewisham border. Medway Kent, man that’s miles away! I did a quick google, there are a few Wing Chun classes in Kent (see below). I’m right at the beginner stage at the moment (like, right at the start!) so I’m probably pretty crap at the moment. My next goal is to buy a ‘wall bag’ and then start with punching to…[Read more]

Hello Sifu. Thanks for the reply.

I’m up to the wall bag videos now (I’ve been leg stretching for about a week as I was uber tight) Do you have any recommendations / links on which ones to buy?
Should it be filled with sand and (sorry for the dumbo question 🙂 ..
What’s the best way to put them up?

I’ve also applied to join the private FB…[Read more]

Hello Sifu and members,
My name is Ashley and I’m a tad fat and a tad unfit 47 year old south Londoner! Hehe! I’m unemployed and have been drinking too many beers of late (to kill the ‘boredom’) and to be honest, I just got fed up with that. Therefore, I decided I wanted a positive focus in life, saw the course and signed up. I’m not signing up to…[Read more]
