Hi Robert,

We do offer assessments/certification yes, just go to MY ACCOUNT (top menu bar) and scroll down to GRADING ASSESSMENTS, you’ll find all you need there.

Just so you know, the certificates will mention online on them, we are not going to disguise something we are very proud of. A certificate is often only recognised by those who run…[Read more]

I’ll look at this as soon as I get a chance, gonna have to block out a couple of days and gets LOTS of coffee in I think?

Perhaps clearing your CACHE may help in some way, not sure though?

Thank you for your help in pointing this out.

Hi Mathew and thank you for your very kind words. 🙂

If you go to MY ACCOUNT
Scroll down to GRADING ASSESSMENTS
and click on DOWNLOAD TERMINOLOGY SHEETS

There you should find everything you need.

Kindest regards for now,

Sifu

Many thanks Eric,

I’ll take a look at that. 🙂

Hi Mathew,

Now THAT is a new one?!

Thank you for letting us know, please could you say which one says that?

Any information would really help us, such as ‘it played on my laptop but not my phone’ and also which browser are you on, iPhone or android etc.

Many thanks from everyone.

Good to have you back Aaron,

and agree 100% with the attitude.

Hi David,

Sorry about the delay, I’ve been away.

Good question. I answered this just the other day but I cannot remember or find where it was!

Anyway, the simple idea is that;
knife – knife
pole – pole
hand – hand etc. all use the same principles. What needs to be addressed is opposing principles, such as when the knife is defending against a…[Read more]

Hello again Chuck,

Great words.
‘I’m just trying to figure out if the form has more to say than what is obvious.’
You are so on the right path. 🙂
Forms need to be prefect, applications open to interpretation.

I would say this:

A Tan Sau can be used in many different ways:
Higher – Lower
Extending Forwards – Retracting Backwards
To the L…[Read more]

Hi Chuck,

Thank you for the compliments and Wow, your training room sounds great! I’m loving the buttons. 🙂

Regarding the cat stance you refer to, GM is in his 90’s so if he doesn’t stand properly on one leg, I’ll let him off.
Besides, all forms are open to interpretation and someone Sifu does that I love (but which unfortunately causes…[Read more]

No problem Luis,

In fact I just wrote a blog for you after your question. 🙂

Hi Alvin,

Finally found it!

I wondered what you were talking about for a while?

Forget it, we’ve been working on a revamp of the site for months and this weekend it’s been getting transferred.
We are ready to switch over to the newer format but it’s not happened yet, that little bit must have sneaked its way in.

It will all make sense in a…[Read more]

Hi Alvin,

Which video is it you mean?

Could you posts the title of the lesson so I can look at it and help explain?

Thank you.

There are 2 things that people say Wing Chun does not have:
1/ Head height kicks
2/ Grappling

1/ Firstly, kicking to the head is like trying to punch someone’s feet, why use your lowest weapon for your highest target?
2/ And secondly, grappling? That IS chi sau! The whole point of chi sau is to learn body mechanics, where thing bend and do n…[Read more]

Hi Luis,

This weekend we have had a group of people transferring videos from the old platform to the new, that MAY have something to do with it.

However it is more likely the the part 2 is not relevant at that stage. Classes are best understood when viewed, studied and digested, in order. A beginner Bong Sau is one thing but if part 2 is going…[Read more]

Very true Rick,

But not totally correct.

Sifu Ip Chun did learn Wing Chun when he was young but didn’t take a huge interest in it during those early years, he did however learn to teach the style before he could use it properly himself.
The simple reason for this was space.

While trying to study for his schooling he was constantly being moved…[Read more]

Hi Adam,

I’ve no idea where that reply would be either, I’ve slept since then! 🙂

Basically I’m not saying you shouldn’t buy one, I just see it more of a hindrance rather than a help.
I’d said before that if you have a problem getting your elbows in, forcing them is not the answer, because as soon as you relax they will want to go out…[Read more]

Hi Nick,

Sifu

Wonderful, I’m glad it worked Hakan and welcome to the site.

Please pass on my regards to your teacher and to the school, I guarantee you will learn many new things here, as I promised to Ip Chun, I will hold no secrets back from his Fathers Wing Chun and will show and teach everything.

Oh and 40? You’re still a youngster! 🙂

Sifu
