Oh yeah…Auburn is about 148 miles from me.

Tell you what: we can Skype. LOL

Steven W,

Let me know where in upstate NY. Maybe we can practice together!

Steven W

Where in upstate NY?

Rodney,

I may be the closest person to you on this site, in upstate NY. Welcome!

Steve

Sifu,

Believe me, I am trying. There are not a lot of people interested in my area. Plus there is the problem of the affordability of renting a place where we could all practice; very few places are willing to let you use a room for free or without highly priced liability insurance. While I understand the purpose of it, that doesn’t make it any…[Read more]

Sifu,

Or how far I can get myself, with your guidance and support. 🙂

Sifu,

Yes it does. I Was not thinking of how you were demonstrating Bong to Jam; I was just thinking of what might work better against a lower strike, but you were focusing more on that specific application. Thanks!

Steve

Sifu,

I live in upstate New York, in a very tiny town called Stillwater. I used to live in a city that is a little better-known, as many movies have been filmed there (Ironweed, Scent of a Woman, and Age of Innocence among them) called Troy, NY. I’m about 30 minutes from there now.

Sifu Colin,

What about those of us who want to be certified to teach but live in the States, work 2 jobs, and are too poor to go across the pond to meet in person with you? I ask because…well, that’s my situation.

Steve

Sifu,

Oh, no need to be sorry. Maybe there was a different way to arrive at Wing Chun, but this is how it went for me. I don’t lament it because the journey was MINE, and it made me realize one thing about myself: I am resilient. I am determined to go after what I went and get it, no matter how many times I stumble or how many times I find myself…[Read more]

I just tried on a third computer. Still no button.

I took the quiz for Module 2 and I am ready to move on to Module 3. However, I can’t because according to the system, I am technically only 78% done with Module 2. Any idea when that button will be there?

Yep, tried on my Dell and I still don’t see a “mark as completed” button.

I was looking for an art I could use for self-defense because in high school I was bullied a lot. It was only verbal because I had this intense fear: “If I talk back, it will get physical!” I hated feeling compelled to keep my mouth shut, but I sure didn’t want to get punched either.

The first style I took was Judo. While I did like it (and I see…[Read more]

I will have to try on my laptop later. It is a Dell.

I tried it on my iPhone and my iMac…still no luck.

Sifu Ward,

Thanks! I will send it later today to your email.

Steve

Sifu Ward,

I did not read the blog, although I will be sure to do so now! As for partners, I have a couple people lined up who are interested in lessons. Also, last March I was able to teach a 2-hour “introduction to Wing Chun” course at a local community college. It was such a success that they asked if I would like to teach a 6-hour course…[Read more]
