Thank you for your reply Sifu.
Yes I didn’t want to use my skills but they worked .lol It was either use them or get hurt. Egos can really screw people up, and give a false sense of security.
I would love you get a drink with you one day Sifu.
God Bless sir.
Best Regards,

I must say even when I was at the class there is always something to review.
Simply by re-taking the class on catch up is a must. There is always something I missed or find it more interesting; many times I will stop the catch up class and do the techniques over and over. This is to see and feel the techniques or issue manshioned.

Recently as per Sifu Ward’s suggestion to explore the 3 forms at different rates of speed and power.
I tried them at a Tai Chi speed very soft and flowing easy.
It seems to add another depth of the forms both mentally and physically.
Holding a pose adds muscle memory, while adding to awareness of the movement.
In the Spring, I will be in the…[Read more]

Wow! after almost a year and a half of training, I finally felt the
ENERGY that Sifu talks about. While doing S.L.T ; I felt an energy,
in my elbows that I cant explain.
I cant explain the feeling but yes it was so good to acquire it.

Hi Sifu,
I have question: I on occasion to many to mention, always seem to step in with the back foot, When trying to close the gap.
It’s a bad habit. Recently while trying to do a pac, strike,and trap and strike, move in rear foot first. I know it’s wrong but it’s a bad habit, any suggestions to clean this bad habit up?.

Hi Sifu
Yes I am curious to see what the difference is between traditional Martial Arts R.E TAE KWON DO, KARATE JUDO, Aikido ect…
Example warm up, drills, pad work ect..
Perhaps just do it once, so those interested can see what happens.
I for one am very interested to see the differences if any.

Hi Sifu,
Wondering if you would ever consider a live stream of your class in the UK.?
I have never seen a Wing Chun Class,other then our live on line. Which I really enjoy.
I find it to be very interesting to watch a class from start to finish.
What are your thoughts?
Respectful,

A person trains or crosstrains in several styles and gets proficient at them.
Then gets into an altercation, you never know what will come out;
until the issue is dealt with.
eye gouge, broken knee cap,broken nose broken wrist,the possibilities are endless.
pray for peace, prepare for war.

Okay at 61 years old parts don’t move like they used to. One of my knees acts up when applying the turning punch. Especially when I lean Slightly back.
Any recommendations on how to adjust this issue.?

Question: I am having an issue with doing a technique, and throwing a punch at the same time. I am used to frist block,then punch.
In Tae Kwon Do for instance we block then counter. I know it should look like Tan Sau and punch at the same time for example, but my punch is after the Tan Sau not at the same time. What can I do to improve this issue?.
