We’re excited to have you join us Kenneth!

Hey Lee and Stevie, please excuse me, I am just getting to this forum now. 😬

Truly, thank you so much for the encouragement and kind words. I have been so overjoyed by this community I barely know what to say.

Thank you. Really thank you.

I am so happy to be surrounded by so many supportive voices who make me a better student and…[Read more]

Thanks for Sharing this Marquis. I truly enjoyed this. Not only did I enjoy the form but I literally enjoyed 6 minutes +- of wonderful meditation.

What a wonderful setting and camera angle.

Thank you. 😀

You’re so kind for thinking of others Howard. Thank you for having this perspective.

As to your question, if I may first say, many times when I was taking the quiz at the end of the modules, I too had reached out for help. To be honest, if I remember correctly, this was one of them!!! 😀

You are right to think that some of these answers are c…[Read more]

Hi Nabarun, thank you so much for sharing these words. I could not agree with you more. I am so grateful to part of this community with you.

Thank you for always helping me to see the teacup from different points of view!

Enjoy your weekend.

Hi Howard, I think it’s ok with Sifu if I respond here.

For starters, thanks for sharing this. Feeling self-conscious at first simply means you’re human. 😀

I certainly felt this way when I started. In fact, I would actually log in and just watch.😂😂😂 Sifu was so kind in drawing me out even when I was trying to hide.

If your membership level inc…[Read more]

My pleasure Colin. I am the same way. Ever since I watched Sifu troubleshooting the Siu Lim Tau form in the library, I wanted to be a help to others in the same way! It was so helpful to me!

Thanks for the kind words!

Thanks Sifu. I am only 5’6” (almost always the shortest in the room) 😂 Perhaps this is why Wing Chun suits me!

1) Oh my word, I didn’t kau sau at all. Thank you for pressing on these matters. I don’t know why we allow these little things to creep in.

2) Yes, I see it, every time I step to the right, I step out first. I don’t know if this is b…[Read more]

Hi Howard, Cheers!

Thanks for the introduction. I am so glad you are pursuing this desire again. Consider joining us for virtual training when you can. I think you’ll find that this is certainly more than just a static site!

😀

It’s nice to meet you!

Thank you for this wonderfully kind and encouraging response Sifu.

To be honest..

1) I was actually looking for ways to rescind my post. Ultimately, I left it because I know that I cannot be the only one who feels this way from time to time. We are all in this together and I want others to be encouraged as well.

2) I honestly wasn’t even…[Read more]

Just in effort to help you keep awareness. section 7.3 in the library (last video) is a repeat of the one right before.

7.3 Chum Kiu Chi Sau Applications, Section 1: Pie Jarn is actually a repeat of Chum Kiu Applications, Section 1: Jeng Sau (right before)

Thank you for all that you do!

“Pre Ip Man, the 3rd form tried to show the 3 different elbows, kups for the double biu’s, gwoi’s for the high palms, and pie jars for the low palms, but all with the same stances.”

I’d be very interested to seeing what this would’ve looked like in the form. I cannot imagine it.

Is Ip Man the one who changed it?

Aha… after revisiting Elbows / Hands (A-G-A-I-N) 😮‍💨 I think I understand…

Chi Sau rules:
• Elbows High, Elbows Low
• Any tension comes from the base of the forearm (elbow energy applied?)
• Hands stay relaxed till used

Therefore Elbow / Hands / Fingers… these are all separate (6) little engines idling until being used.

• When rolling…[Read more]

Sifu,

Since we’re focusing on elbows / hands right now during training, a question arose that I could not answer.

Why do we think elbow high and elbow low in chi sau?

What are the benefits and what are the weaknesses of not doing so? I’m not well versed in chi sau outside of this instruction but I’m not a newcomer either and I have never heard…[Read more]

It does! Absolutely.

In the same way with the knuckles, we don’t intentionally roll the wrist in for contact (only) on the knuckles.

Likewise, we don’t over roll the foot under to only strike with the blade.

Doing so in either situation can cause injury.

Thank you. Always thank you!

You’re always so kind Sifu. Thank-you for asking.

Of course you may take, use and add to this in any way you would like. Like always, I am just grateful and happy to be part.

I look forward to all the learning that I anticipate will take place this year. I can barely wait!!!!
