I had a similar issue before I ended up practicing with Sifu Ward for a few years now. The answer is yes, but to get a certain level that you might want would involve a bit of creativity on your side. I think you’ll have to answer why you are studying Wing Chun. I can’t answer that for you, but for me, it was mainly for health and…[Read more]

Sorry for the delayed reply, I just saw this. Welcome back to the program, and it’s great to hear that you’re planning to attend the Lancaster seminar next year.

Niles is a bit far from Chicago for regular training, but if I’m ever traveling through Ohio or farther east, I’ll reach out. Definitely let me know when the Lancast…[Read more]

I’m Lester and also from the US (Chicago, IL). If I only saw this earlier I could have told you that this weekend all the US students were meeting in Lancaster PA for one of Sifu’s seminars. We have been doing it annually, so there’s always a next time.

If you’re ever around my neck of the woods, feel free to swing by a train! I…[Read more]

Leung Yee Tai > Dr. Leung Jan (Leung Tak Wing) > Leung Bik > Ip Man 葉問 (Yip Gai-Man) > Ip Chun 葉準 > Colin Ward

Of course, the more senior students / Sifu Ward would know better than me.

Welcome, and there’s actually a pretty big group in Lancaster, PA (https://www.lancasterwingchun.com/).

I’m from Chicago, but I will be stopping by there for the April 25-27 seminar on Chi Sao. I think we also have another member there in Lebanon, but I don’t want to speak for him.

The same applies to me if anyone is in the US around Chicago, IL. I even know of a JKD place nearby that will let us in to record during their open mat.

Best,
Lester

I fell into the same issue too the first time. FWIW, sifu also has the whole form at the ends for each of the forms. Also, we tend to cover the first and second forms often in the class/catch-up.

I think Module 12 is a good place to start.

Just to add what everyone else said, for the stance, it is technically a training stance (not really a fighting one). So, the way you shifted to feel weight on the thighs is right, but I know Sifu has a saying that it takes effort to get Wing Chun wrong. In other words, he would probably prefer the one where you feel more…[Read more]

For this month, it would be 2 pm CST (depending on where you are in the States). Starting next month, it will be 1 pm CST.

Just to confirm (due to daylight saving messing me up here at the States), are the live class times still:

    Mondays 7 pm GMT+1
    Thursdays 7 pm GMT+1

Thanks,

Sifu or the more senior students will probably chime in but I think it is the case in Wing Chun as well. Once you learn the general structure of the punch, you’ll find that you need to stay relaxed for most of the strike to maintain speed and power. I think the only point of tension should be at the moment of impact, but right after,…[Read more]

I just looked at the 8.5 Muk Yan Jong Fat Basic – Section 7 (https://wingchun.online/modules/module-8/lessons/8-5/). I currently see only an application video there. Is that correct, or can we find the section 7 basic wooden dummy form in another location?

Thanks,
Lester
