Hi Roger and welcome,

You may be going a little too fast, but then again Wing Chun is deigned to mould to the individual, and everyone is different. Right?

Regarding forms etc. though, it is not enough that we can remember some patterns but instead are able to understand them and play them perfectly, that way we get the benefits overtime you…[Read more]

Great news Brian, and good luck.

I truly hope you get a good group together so that I could come over to give seminars and train with you all.

My Dear Eric,

Welcome to the site and thank you for those very kind words.

If you’ve heard good things of me then yes, that was me, but if it’s ever anything bad then I’m sure they’ll be referring to my evil twin. 🙂 🙂 🙂

Kindest regards to your family and do join us on Facebook if you haven’t…[Read more]

Hi Steve and thank you for your kind words. 🙂

I agree completely with your reasons for training, it will certainly help you in your future life and I also like that you wish to connect with the younger people at schools too.

Wing Chun does seem to attract the more artistic individual, I believe it must be because there is such a beauty in…[Read more]

Hi Brian,

Good point eh?

Did you read the blog I posted on the 13th Oct:

Is Wing Chun A Hard Or Soft Style Of Martial Art?

The line ‘It would be a terrible thing if you trained all your life, for a fight you may never have (hopefully) only to discover the only injuries you carry in your old age, are the ones you gained through…[Read more]

Hi Frank,

This is not as bad as you think.

First of all let’s look at your attacker. If a person is that good at kicks they’re usually not going to be the attacker as the they have more sense and get their aggression out at the school.
Just as pro boxers do not have bar fights (their fist are their livelihood).
The same said for the fighters in…[Read more]

Hi Nate and welcome to the family.

I’m sorry to hear of your ptsd and wish you all the best in dealing with it. Your country owes you a great debt of gratitude sir.

Mrs Miyagi sounds like a great partner, but I hope she is not teaching Nathansan too much of the wash on, dry off when dealing with the dirty dishes etc? Just kidding! 🙂

Hi Jon,

The perfect attitude to training. 🙂

Washington looks an amazing place, and somewhere I plan to visit at some point, who know perhaps I may one day give a seminar there?!

Kind regards to you all, and pass my best wishes on to Jody too please.

Oh, and what lineage is it there?

Hi Jonathan and may I welcome you both to the site!

Please pass on my regards to your teacher and to all the students there.

I think your choice of use of the site is perfect. It is alway good to keep an open mind regarding your training and hopefully together we can help you to see more to the system than you possibly may have done should you…[Read more]

Hi again George,

As this is a very common question I’ve decided to share it as a blog.

I bet you’re glad you asked now eh? 🙂

Hi George,

The simple and direct answer to your question is that if you just want a black sash, go buy one.

However, if you want to learn the entire Wing Chun system up to the level of an instructor, then you’re in the right place.

Learn all of the videos, in order, and several times over.
Test yourself through the assessments, one by one, and…[Read more]

Hi Frank,

I find it interesting that you wish to pursue this driving through idea so much? Many people may say the same thing, only in a slightly different way. 🙂
This guy though, I do not recommend for any serious training, mentally he is on a very different path to that of Ip Man.

40 Sec in – “I was able to, you know, beat my friends up a…[Read more]

Hi Frank,

I studied Shotokan Karate for 7 years up to Shodan level (Black belt) and the main reason for the two knuckle contact is for bone alignment and connection through the forearm rather than energy.
Following that line of thought if in Karate you punch through a board, you will not be injured, but if you do not break the board then you…[Read more]

Stance is always important, and, turning can help to generate more power, it can also give you more range and drive, but turning is not always the answer.
Feet cannot move as fast as hands and therefore with multiple attacks, turns are out.

As for power.
Power is not generated by how fast you turn it on but by how fast you turn it off (think of…[Read more]

Thank you Brian,

Glad we were here for you. 🙂

Hey Brian,

Wow, thank you for those kind words (may I quote you on them?) 🙂

I do understand what you mean and I am so glad you get it.

I have great plans to visit your way someday and I will look forward to meeting you in person one day to play chi sau and discuss energy.

Hi Brian,

A frank and honest question.

I’ve not had any personal dealing with Meng (although he did ask me to be in his ‘Hall of fame / museum’), but I do know a couple of our WC.O guys went to his museum and were met by him personally.

He was very kind to then and showed them around, then posed with them for photos which they kindly sent…[Read more]
