I come from a Karate and Kendo background of 40 years where applications were set in stone.
As Sifu is always telling us applications must be open to interpretation and the more and deeper I study this amazing system the more layers seem to unfold.

Having spent a long time going through and playing the third form ‘Biu Gee’
I have then been studying the applications Sifu has explained and I always seem to discover a new light bulb moment.

I never really understood when Sifu said in class Wing Chun has many layers until now.

Every day is a school day.

Have you logged into your Facebook account and ask to join the Wing Chun Facebook group?

Sifu will then approve it.

I will text him now to let him know you are sending him a request.

I have been in the programme for about five years now.

I am very lucky as I attend Sifu’s class in person every week in Leeds.
I learn a lot of my Wing Chun from this online platform and I find it helps to watch the videos two or three times.
I always seem to find new things every time I watch.

You need to stop wasting my Sifu’s time asking questions which go beyond your understanding. My PhD training was easier to understand than your posts.
I have trained in martial arts for over 50 years and I train with Sifu in person each week and yes he is the real deal and his knowledge is second to none.

I have practiced Karate and Kendo for the last 30 years and it was full of people with huge egos.
