I’ve given your question a little attention in todays blog but cover this further in a video, which I hope to post on Wednesday.

We roll up and down and exchange side to side, but in order to experience a third dimension to the game we must feel the forward and backward pressure of both ours and our partners pressures.

I feel a blog coming on!

LOL

Hi Frank,

We could but I’m not sure when at the moment as I’m away at a wedding today and tomorrow, then teaching class and seminars Mon – Thurs so not guaranteed of Wifi and timing.

At the moment I am grabbing login’s when possible through the day to upload and reply etc.

After a week, happy to, but until then, if you’d like to send me a video…[Read more]

I cleared it for you some time ago so I assume you are in?

Sifu

Ok, I will do it if you request again.

The reason I did not was because you said YOU were a member, and your wife ‘Priscilla’ would be joining later, therefore I assumed YOU were already in the group and so I was waiting for Priscilla’s membership to show up.

Sifu

Ok, here’s a few points that may help.

Firstly, if you’re in Biu Mar, kick him! He shouldn’t be able to get close enough to be able to use a tight upper cut.

Next, a preferred stance is SBM, that way you are in-between Biu Mar and YGKYM, this also makes any turns still possible with the outcome of a turn being either the shape of a Biu mar or…[Read more]

Frank,

Check out today’s video blog, it’s aimed at you a little

Sifu

You have described that perfectly.

It IS, one fist away, BUT, to think of only that is dangerous as it draws attention to the hand. Leading with the elbow, we will stop when we feel as the the elbow is about the drag the hand off of centre line (this happens to be around one fist away).

Well done you!

That would be a good idea, just make sure they’re super filed down so you down cut your thumbs off!

Thanks Steve, that’s great.

I’m planning on making a video for the site by way of mock assessments, so you know what is needed and to what standard.

Hopefully this should answer all questions in this area.

Thank you

Hi John,

We’ve had this question before and I was sure I’d sorted it (although I’ll look again), but if it’s not found soon then it may be a case of there was no Part 2.

Either way I will give this some attention.

Thanks John!

Sifu

Sounds exciting!

Erm, no.

I’ll come back to this for you later though with more detail if that’s ok?

It’s 3.42am and I’ve just returned from teaching! 🙂

You’ll get more clarity after I’ve slept LOL

Thank you

Hi Frank,

As it’s 3.38am here and I’ve just returned, I will return to this message in the morning due to it’s serious nature, but you do make a good point.

In short and right now (before I sleep) I will say that I usually steer away from knife defence due to not wanting to mislead, and, this IS such a dangerous area, especially when I am not…[Read more]

Hi Anthony!

That’s great news.

I was tempted to not involve myself in this message just to give time for others to see it first, but I wondered, have you joined us on the private Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/265789813897031/

I’ll approve your request as soon as I see it.

Perhaps this message should be on there too?

I’d l…[Read more]

It is so nice that Wing Chun has been such a positive element for you, may it continue to be so, and hopefully you will enrich others as well as yourself.

Ah, Mm, yes.

These are not the easiest. They can be used but when changing to the Yat Dao there is definitely going to be a thumb scraping issue, as those knives are too wide and flat to get a comfortable rotation. The rounder thumb guard is the better option.

STILL USEABLE THOUGH!

So do not be too upset, and it will also make for a cool…[Read more]

That really is a difficult cycle, and one to break.

Looks like you’ve found yourself a mission!

Anyway, just let me know if you need anything, that’s what we’re here for.

Sifu

You’re too kind my friend…

NOW GO TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS TO JOIN US TOO!!! LOL
