Hi Sifu,
I have question: I on occasion to many to mention, always seem to step in with the back foot, When trying to close the gap.
It’s a bad habit. Recently while trying to do a pac, strike,and trap and strike, move in rear foot first. I know it’s wrong but it’s a bad habit, any suggestions to clean this bad habit up?.
Thank you Sir.…[Read more]

LOL! Thanks Michael. I do have one piece of advice….

If your using knives with any weight to them… be sure to wear shoes!!!

Yikes! I’m speaking from experience!!! 😬

Nick really cool, I like the part where the elbows come down.
I am very scared to even think about learning that.

As to the garns that you mentioned. This seems to me like a good example of how the swords accentuate the position. I took a look and can see how that right garn is misaligned redirecting back to centerline?

Is this an accurate understanding?

Ha….ha! When I stepped in section 8, I knew it immediately. I was hoping you wouldn’t notice. 😬 However, I am so glad you do. Thanks for all these points. I will take them and keep working to refine!

Observation…

Hi Sifu

Example warm up, drills, pad work ect..

Hi Sifu,
Wondering if you would ever consider a live stream of your class in the UK.?
I have never seen a Wing Chun Class,other then our live on line. Which I really enjoy.
I find it to be very interesting to watch a class from start to finish.
What are your thoughts?
Respectful,
Michael R

A person trains or crosstrains in several styles and gets proficient at them.
Then gets into an altercation, you never know what will come out;
until the issue is dealt with.
eye gouge, broken knee cap,broken nose broken wrist,the possibilities are endless.
pray for peace, prepare for war.

This makes sense,
Thank you Sifu.

Michael R started the topic Knee issues when applying turning punch. in the forum Members Forum 4 years, 9 months ago

Okay at 61 years old parts don’t move like they used to. One of my knees acts up when applying the turning punch. Especially when I lean Slightly back.
Any recommendations on how to adjust this issue.?
