Thanks for the kind holiday wishes Sifu. It’s been a busy one here moving my elderly mother to a first floor flat. Ugh…. I’m exhausted. 🤭.

I’m so glad we train regularly. At least I feel able!!! However, I admit the Hagen Daaz is again attacking my clothes.😩

Michael D, thanks for your email. It seems we have some cool stuff to connect over. I…[Read more]

When you do plan to come Sifu, do keep me posted. A three hour drive for me is still currently easier than a seven hour flight. 😀

Aha!!!

I think I found what I need over in module 10. It looks like section 6 is complete there?

Thank you!!!

Sifu,

It appears that their may be some issues regarding wooden dummy instruction in the library. Specifically, I am not able to access anything after part 1 in section 6 (if there is anything?) nor in section 7. Section seven appears to have applications rather than the form itself.

It may be on my end but it looks like the instruction you…[Read more]

Brilliant!! 👍🏻 Thank you!

My camera angle is a bit close here so I tried to include the footwork instead of my head. I hope it’s acceptable. Your coaching is most welcome before I move on with section 5. 😁

I sure do! Thanks!!!

Sifu,

Is the (side) stepping the same for section 1 & 5 of the wooden dummy?

Section 1 – low palm / Tan
Section 5 – Po Pie

What are the differences here? Is there a difference?

Thank you!

n. francis started the topic 8.2 Muk Yan Jong Fat Basic – Section 4 in the forum Members Forum 5 years ago

Sifu,

Section 4 part 2 video in the library appears to be a repeated section 3 (basic). Do you know if there is a section 4 part two detailed?

The section four brief review is there so I can learn from that if you so advise. I may be missing something?

Thank you!

Then until those days and times, let us be ever grateful for the gift of serving and enjoying the time we have gained with our children.

Cheers!

WOW! How curious! Thank-you.

I cannot foresee inquiring to make arrangements anytime in the near future, though I do desire otherwise. COVID has me weary of the UK travel guidelines / requirements. I will certainly inquire of you before any plans are arranged.

Is the school currently open? Have students returned to pre-covid involvement? I am…[Read more]

Thank you Sifu. I will keep invested and contact you via Facebook to inquire about possible travel and training opportunities.

Thanks Sifu, I will heal and adapt my playing! 😀

Cheers Sifu,

I want to write updating you on my Wing Chun training, progress, and goals. Please advise as you feel led.

1) I am currently working on my Muk Yan Jong Fat. This will bring me to the end of my first time thorough learning all the forms (except long pole). I will send you a video of my Bart Jam Dao and Biu Jee for critique when…[Read more]

Sifu . . .

So, I’m just going to come clean. I’ve started my wooden dummy training (section 1 & 2) and it seems I have really bruised up my forearms.

I have been conscious of position, trying to not chase arms nor over commit.

However…. I am pretty sore.

I’m sure I’m not the first person to learn from these matters, but I confess, I do not kn…[Read more]

Thank you. 😀

n. francis started the topic Muk Yan Jong in the forum Members Forum 5 years, 1 month ago

Sifu, do you have any deeply held opinions / reasons for how the arms are positioned in the wooden dummy? Traditional vs. Parallel?

Thanks. I’m just wondering what the difference is and if it even matters?
