Hi Sifu

Another question for you please.
The garn on the dummy as we come into closing just prior to the cow say and palm strike.

The low hand on the farm you describe as going under the third arm, kinda like a huen. Why is that please? I do do it all the time without issue but why do we do it rather than going straight for the palm strike…[Read more]

Hi Sifu

This one is from my local class and I’m asking because I was a little bit peeved by something I was told.

Before I get there though I want you to know I’ve really been practising the siu lim tau 30 minutes at a time basically As often as I can for a number of weeks.

So within there, I’m thinking a lot about my elbow and making sure…[Read more]

Hi Sifu

Thought I’d share my thoughts after reading this blog https://wingchun.online/its-all-in-the-posture/ because it’s something you have pointed out to me in the live classes.

Keeping my chin up. After realising what is going on with myself I can say it’s not just my chin it’s my back due to my hip position. I’ve worked out that anterior…[Read more]

Hi Sifu

Hope you are good.
I’ve been thinking about this question for a while but with regards to the dummy. I’m still not sure of the exact words needed to describe it.

So I’ve just been doing Biu Gee and was struck by the feeling or position of my hips and it made me think of the dummy.

What I’m asking myself is are my hips turned to far.…[Read more]

Hi Sifu

I watched a Moy Yat video on YouTube the other day. Some parts I thought were extremely interesting

Moy Yat link – https://youtu.be/n7ldFIt38LE?si=muvPZQAi5-3eph5O

At 9:15mins he explains about the Garn Sau in the first section. It’s a rotation of the hips he says. Loved it as soon as I heard it.

Reason being – some weeks ago Nick p…[Read more]

Well done mate.
I just read the blog

Hi Sifu

Got a question on Kwun Sau.
I got lapped crossed and trapped in class the other day and there were a few things that come out of that for me, as well as being told not to use the bottom hand to try and do something on the opponents non lapping hand.

1. Told to use my shoulder.
I’ve been told before, I know this.

I had forgotten w…[Read more]

Hi Sifu, everyone

I’m wondering about the different bongs.

Why and where will they be used?

To explain I can think of three instances on the wooden dummy of different bongs. Although my question is not necessarily a wooden dummy question.

Section 1 – already in a turning stance and bong
Section 6 – turning into a bong
Section 8 – stepping i…[Read more]

Hi Sifu

Hope you are good.
A bit of a rambling question this one.

I’m coming to realise I do not like being perfect in chi sau. I’m preferring to have errors

What I also don’t like doing is stopping rolling because of an error, correcting and proceeding again because I’m perfect again.

Within all of that I’m then thinking if my bong is c…[Read more]

Elbows Or Hands (When and why) Part 1 (of 2)

Hi Sifu
Hope you are good

I’m wondering about the pushing and pulling in the video as described that may happen in HK.

Would it be wrong to not offer any resistance when someone is trying to do this? So just absorbing or yielding as much as possible to prevent being c…[Read more]
