Hi Frank,

I do not like to speak bad of anyone, BUT, you asked..

1/
The SLT, COMPLETELY wrong, I have NO idea what the thought could possibly be, and I always try to see their point of view.
There’s NO energy development, no centreline training, and if that Fook Sau is meant to be a strike? You do not strike with the back of a clenched…[Read more]

Hi Otis,

You can do anything you like in Chi Sau providing two things:

1/
You get away with it

2/
It was your choice

Regarding your thoughts, a Turning Punch from Fook Sau would actually be a combination of the Jum, Shift and Punch, all providing of course that there was the opportunity in the first place
i.e. Don’t try to attack over a…[Read more]

Nice work Steve,

All looks great to me!

Hi Eric,

I answered your email, but just to confirm here also, skip that lesson for now and I will find it soon (Just away teaching at the moment and giving a quick reply from my hotel lobby) and thank you for your patience.

Sifu

Thanks Eric,

I saw that this morning myself!

I should have them all sorted very soon.

Appreciate the info.

Sifu

I hope it helps you.

Hi Nick,

I’m sorry no, I’ve been so busy over the last few weeks organising classes, seminars, training camps and trips abroad (Looking forward to meeting some of our online guys in New York next month!).

I have made notes but have been waiting to make the change until our tech guys was back from his holidays (planning some downloads such as…[Read more]

Hi Mathew,

I’ve replied to your other messages with some ideas and hopefully a helpful guide.

Kind regards,

Sifu

Have you tried a poster campaign?

I’ll put it on the Facebook group for you now.

Hi Mathew,

Just go to the shop in the top menu bar.

You’ll find it there.

Hi Nabarun,

I’ve been thinking about your question and really Tan can be used wherever you want to use it and at whatever height.

This blog / video may help too.

Four Floors Of Wing Chun

It is great for transporting and you can even put it in your baggage and take on holiday with you too, BUT, it is an inflatable dummy.

As long as you know that then it’s fine, don’t worry about it flying away, they’re not that light, and the arms etc are all correct dimensions.

For learning the form on it’s fine AND would be a talking point, but…[Read more]

Many thanks Steve,

I look forward to seeing one one day.

Sifu

STEVE!

One more thing!

OOPS, the assessment opportunity window was from the 1st April, and SHOULD HAVE been for just two weeks.

I forgot and left it open for the entire month!

However, if you do have an assessment to send (or will very soon), I will still honour it.

Hi Steve,

Nice to hear from you again.

I’m at the school teaching at the moment (just took a moment to check the forum) and I will give the video a viewing tomorrow.
I’m teaching until 11.00pm and finally get home around 2.00am!

Regarding the quality and the device. yes! That’s perfect.

I’ll look forward to seeing something soon then I…[Read more]

Thank you.

The Fook Sau is very similar to Mantis and it does actually come from Crane, used more as a scoop (if you imagine changing from a Fook to a Kau Sau, and then striking to the temple with the finger tips).

But for wing chun, in short I would say, no.

The reason for this is so;
Defending a straight punch, the ‘hooking’ of the hand would get in the…[Read more]

Hi Otis,

Don’t think of the Fook Sau moving outward but forward, driven by the elbow, with the intent of finding a gap.

Should a change in Chi Sau lets say, provide a gap then the intention is to move forward and take advantage of that weakness in defence.

Likewise reminding you to defend such areas.
