Thanks again for sending me your contact info Geoff. It’s a pleasure to meet you. I will definitely look to keep in touch.

I wanted to send you a brief follow-up here as well and invite you to join us online for our virtual training. If you’re a serious member, we have class on Thursday afternoon (2:00 Pennsylvania time). We can get you the link!…[Read more]

“It is better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener in a war.”

I like this very much indeed!

Thank you!

Thanks Sifu. This is a great help. The more I look at the styles that punch through with the focus on the top two knuckles, the more I understand the difference, use and intention.

Thank you! Enjoy your day!

I have so loved this thread. There is so much more Wing Chun here to be discussed. I see how much the onus is on us to help others understand that we are not here training to fight. We train to understand the mechanics and components of a fight. We train to identify a conflict, deescalate a conflict and even walk away from a conflict. And yes, we…[Read more]

I’ve been running through these thoughts and video links you have both shared and I just needed to say thank you again. We certainly are not in class together but I am walking away with enough knowledge like I am.

I am telling you… Training online with all of you is not only possible but also extremely effective!!!!

Thank you!

This is great. Thanks guys. So much to think about here!

Thanks Lee and Duanne (auto correct didn’t “fix” your name this time.) 😀

I love having a place like this that I can connect with you guys. Thanks for sharing. I am so glad you did!

As I reflect on your insights, I hear you both saying:

I can do whatever I want in Chi Sau provided…

1) I can get away with it

2) It was my choice!

Got it!!!…[Read more]

I think you are right on here Duane, note for note! 😀

😂😂😂 Wow! Feisty! 😂

Thank you for this. What a great story, which I know I’ll enjoy passing along when the question comes!

Speaking of the second section of Chum Kiu, everyone here always loves the explanation that comes with the closing technique that “has no name”, except now there is another link… lol.

Thank you for (always) a great class Sifu.

This is the topic you were referring to during our training. Just as an observation here, in the video, the double gums are being applied. It seems to me this is precisely the point you were stating… “it is vital” to its understanding, even though they have been removed.

I will remind you Thursday if…[Read more]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Can you offer some insight into why the young man in the video added them and do you advise that we play with it sometime, to simply better understand application even though they were removed?

This is such a great video! It has me thinking.

Thank you!!!!!!

Ahhh!!! Yes! Makes sense. I’ve been pondering this one for weeks.

If you use a Tok Sau from a Tan/Bong then opponent may also Jum that Tan before the Tok Sau contact is even made.

Equally to be aware of is that if you try to Tok Sau from a Fook / Bong your open for a strike from their Tan.

Which again explains why we follow the energy flow a…[Read more]

My interpretation of this would simply be that this is our closing to the form. If you would like, it’s taking a deep, relaxed breath as we close the stance , then holding for a moment and breathing out as we push our hands down the side.
