Hey Nick,

Do you think the issue is sorted or would you like a quick test??

Hi Nick,

I sent the details again to someone else and asked them them to try a meeting with me, the details being:

Is this what you have?

Basically I cannot see what or where the issue could be, especially as you’ve been with us in the…[Read more]

I’ll look into this now.

I’ve a class starting right now if you’d like to give it a quick tester???

Otherwise see you tomorrow and nothing lost tonight,

Sifu

No problem Nick, here to help.

When is a good time for you to meet on zoom?

Sifu

That’s what we’re here for! 🙂

Thank you Lee, that’s great news.

Just let me know if there’s anything you need!

Sifu

Hi Lee and welcome.

I love your attitude to studying, 100% correct.

As for the rings…

I do not teach the rings as my opinion is one that in order to hold the ring you must press outward, forcing the hands away from each other, should these positions then be trained without the rings there is a strong possibility of the hands drifting from…[Read more]

Hi Aaron and welcome to the family!

My dear Gilberto,

So sorry for any delay but it takes time to find someone to watch the assessment with and there is so much to go through.
Unfortunately, you were not successful at this time, but here is a quick run through all of your videos presented for this first assessment

Good but remember the bow is your right fist…[Read more]

That would be wonderful!

And bring some sherry! 🙂

Thank you for your kind words David, and I too hope we get to meet one day.

As for the meeting of students, I have seen this occur through this forum and even had the privilege of training with 4 students when we met in Central Park in New York, so do keep in touch, you never know.

For the records, where are you based?

Oh and hope your arm is…[Read more]

Hi David and welcome,

First of all there are no rules of the forum (of course I would not expect swearing or bad things, but that has never happened), I wish this forum to be totally transparent and I am willing to answer any genuine question.

As I do not know this group it would be unfair of me to make comment, not that I would ever bad mouth…[Read more]

Ny dear friend,

I must please ask for your forgiveness but I cannot find this video anywhere and have looked for some time.

It is not like me to do this as I enjoy watching the training and assessments.

Please may I ask, is it possible for you to resend the video or re send the Youtube link for me to view it??

My email address is…[Read more]

Hi again Mario,

The fingers on the Tan will find their own comfortable position, providing that the palm faces up (Tan Sau – Palm up block).

As for the guard, this is always the same principle (level with the elbow) the reason for this is that it is a mid point, not too close to the body, not too far away either.

An aggressive Tan can be…[Read more]

As always… You are very welcome.

Hi Mario,

Please read the last blog, it was written exactly for this.

Thank you! 🙂

Hi Mario,

All of these questions should be answered in the video for Tan Sau, BUT, as you’ve asked…

In my opinion it takes effort to get Wing Chun wrong, what I mean by this is:
The fingers should be relaxed yes, but spreading the fingers (is also dangerous) or bringing them together, this takes effort, as it is not natural.
As for the thumb,…[Read more]

That depends on how far out your Bong is, ideally, no, not when training the position, solo.

This is because a Bong (before contact) should be the same distance as Tan, and the guard is level with the elbow in distance and height, just like the back hand when training punches.

Therefore, the guard may be lower when with Tan, higher when with…[Read more]
