Cheers Sifu, I’m not sure if you were planning on being back by Monday, but I will miss you all this week due to a family holiday. I will see you next Monday and Thursday!

Here is a Luk Deem Boon Kwun upload for advice and guidance. I’m not pleased with my Biu Gee just yet, but will send soon after more tra…[Read more]

Thanks Sifu… you’re answers really helped! I just could not process it!

Just turns out… “it’s just a cigar”. 😵‍💫

n. francis replied to the topic Wing Chun Maxim in the forum Members Forum 4 years, 5 months ago

Thanks Sifu. I have a ton to throw at you over the upcoming weeks but I’ll simply start here.

First, Thank you!!!! I enjoy this so very much and making this journey with you as a guide is of great value to me. So I just want to first say thank you!!!

Now, a reflection…

If I am understanding correctly, my aha moment is in this…[Read more]

I think I just began to understand… in the concept of (not) playing Chi Sau tennis?

hi Sifu,

You posted this on Facebook, a couple of weeks ago. I have been pondering it ever since. Can you please explain what it means?

“The body follows movement of the hands. The waist and the stance move together.

I am sorry, but I do not understand… or so I think?

Cheers & Thank you!

n. francis started the topic Kicks vs Kicks in the forum Members Forum 4 years, 6 months ago

Sifu,

During class yesterday, while we were doing mirror stepping, I had a question come to mind.

Quite Simply…

Would we ever block a kick with a kick?

While mirroring an opponent’s movement, it almost seems intuitive? But if not done wisely and correctly it also feels very dangerous.

Of course we have seen this in the movies but how abo…[Read more]

n. francis replied to the topic Chum Kiu (for instruction) in the forum Members Forum 4 years, 7 months ago

Of course! 👍🏻

n. francis replied to the topic Chum Kiu (for instruction) in the forum Members Forum 4 years, 7 months ago

Thanks Sifu. I truly appreciate it. Class was phenomenal! I will definitely watch again! With every layer of improvement there comes even more to learn.

Thanks for constantly pointing the way. I can see how learning the wing chun “alphabet” slowly gives way to becoming a fluent author.

I may know my forms yet I still feel like a novice. I’m…[Read more]

n. francis replied to the topic Chum Kiu (for instruction) in the forum Members Forum 4 years, 7 months ago

Wow! First let me say how amazed I am that I actually understand all this.

What progress!!!

Thanks! I’ll work it out and return for more! 😀

n. francis started the topic Chum Kiu (for instruction) in the forum Members Forum 4 years, 7 months ago

Cheers Sifu, here is a copy of my Chum Kiu as requested. Instruction welcome!

Oh… and your former response to Ip Man vs. Iron Mike was excellent. I really enjoyed that!

As always… thank you!

n. francis replied to the topic Biu Gee (8 sections)? in the forum Members Forum 4 years, 7 months ago

Wow. Thanks.

I find this a bit humorous because I too had thought of it as “the elbows” and the the rest. But I couldn’t remember “the rest” so I wrote it down. How funny that I drifted right towards the 8 because it “fits” (or I made it fit).

Thanks for showing me that there is always so much more!

I think I’ll remember it now like..

“The e…[Read more]

n. francis started the topic Biu Gee (8 sections)? in the forum Members Forum 4 years, 7 months ago

Sifu,

Is it correct that Biu Gee has 8 sections?

Are they as follows:

Opening
Section 1-4 Kup Jarns
Section 5 Garns
Sections 6 Mun Sau
Section 7 Bius
Section 8 Double Laps
Closing

Then stretching and finish?

I’m not sure if I’m right here? But it seems like the stretching is extra in the form (not a “section” but a closing? Correct…[Read more]

n. francis replied to the topic Poon Sau and stressed shoulders in the forum Members Forum 4 years, 7 months ago

Thanks Sifu. Quick note, I didn’t think this needed a new forum post.

I think 18.1 Chi Sau Demos (Part 2) is missing. It seems to have a broken link.

Just an FYI (really) 😀

Thanks again!

Yes Sir,

I will also use my mind to vitusualy see what needs to be done.
Thank you for always striving to uplift
Your students.
Have a wonderful weekend Sir!

n. francis started the topic Poon Sau and stressed shoulders in the forum Members Forum 4 years, 7 months ago

Sifu, like usual, I’m not sure how to ask this question. I really started pondering it during class today when you presented some instruction.

In summary, I cannot say as of yet that I have found a comfortable rolling in poon sau. Some of the issues I’m facing are:

1) Tight and tired shoulders the longer I roll.

2) if I roll relaxed, my elb…[Read more]
