Thanks Stevie (AKA DADDY)

Love to the family, 🙂

I like your thinking

Errors are good, and essential, if we learn from them, the disease is when people believe that they have no mistakes, when that happens, you’re done.

Hey Lee!

How great to hear from you!

Regarding the HK comments, this is usually either done because;

A – there is something being offered and therefore taken (if someone is pulling you in, so you push them – or – if someone is pushing you in so you pull them)

OR

B – they’re just being a twat 🙂

Either way, you can go with it (yield or…[Read more]

In all of these, still ‘try’ to think of contact being with the blade (except for the Huen of course).

Although we THINK of the blade, in some cases there ay be more surface contact, in the same way as we PUNCH with the bottom three knuckles but in truth, make contact with the full bottom half of the base three fingers.

I do hope that makes sense?

Hi Richard, great to hear from you!

Please forgive the delay but I seem to have been rushed off my feet lately 🙂

The main thing to remember here is:
“If it’s not comfortable, it’s not right”
So the fact that this feels too wide for you is a great thing.

Yes you are correct regarding the less of an angle idea, I’m guessing that in the video I…[Read more]

If there is something you wish me to take a look at, record it and upload to a site of your choice, then send me the link, you could simply delete it after I’ve given feedback.

Or if it is a small file, you could email it to me?

This idea also suite checking for any telegraphing, looking for twitches before you strike etc.

Be your own worst critic I say! 🙂

I’ve approved your group request now, but still, it’s ok to post on here, I tend to use the FB group for posting videos etc (much easier than on here for that stuff).

Sifu 🙂

A solid (and honest) question.

The simple fact is that this is what the videos are there for, for you to check yourself, and this is best done by videoing yourself on your phone and comparing, BUT, that’s only the start, I will see any flaws if you ever get to join us on the live classes, AND, I’v eno problem with you sharing your forms to let me…[Read more]

Christopher!

Welcome to the family my friend!

Best tip I can give is to take it steady, one step and one video at a time, but do remember we’re here for you brother.

Is this your first venture into Wing Chun?

Oh and have you asked to join us on the private Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/265789813897031/

I’ll approve your r…[Read more]

Thank you Nick! 🙂

Hey Nick,

I just wanted to say that I thought your words to be so inspiring and I would like to thank you for sharing them in the forum, to take this further, I wonder if you would be willing to allow this to be used in a blog to share with the wider Wing Chun population?
I know Master Ip Chun will be pleased to hear of your comments.

Oh and…[Read more]

Excellent news! 🙂

Thanks Stevie.

Hi Richard,

SO sorry for the crazy delay but I seem to have been busy FOREVER!

I will find your feedback but I’m sure the main thing was that it was successful. 🙂

Thank you for reminding me, I really do appreciate it!

Since we’ve been making some adjustments, a few things got pushed around, I will try to sort these out very soon.

Thank you again and thank you also for your kind words. X

Could you try it now please Tom, I think it was still being finished then.

All ‘finally’ went live yesterday.

Thank you

HA ha ha ha!

This is SO true.

I never thought to mention this before but I always simply think of it as going back to the start again ‘after’ the 50.

Good call 🙂 🙂 🙂

It is true that power and bone alignment can be strong when connecting the index and middle knuckles, with the forearm bones BUT this does rely on hitting through AKA overcommitting, in addition to this, you need to raise your elbow to the side in order to drive this through, therefore telegraphing your intent through this chambering action AND…[Read more]

I could not agree more Nick, your wording there is 100% with the Wing Chun I am trying to pass on…

Also not forgetting the:
‘And yes, we train to be able to end a conflict quickly if all else fails’
Just in case we are being a bit feeble with our thinking.

Remember,
‘It is better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener in a war’
