That’s wonderful news, and thank you for the kind words, I’m so glad it’s working for you.
I too hope this happens, it’s always great fun when I get to meet the overseas guys and share experiences.
You know, even if Bill doesn’t manage to set anything in place there’s no reason why you and Jeremy couldn’t organise something?
It would only take…[Read more] -

Hi Chris,
That’s a fair question of course.
To give you your answer and more detail too, below is a series of snippets of the chats I’ve been having with Bill regarding his requests and how we got to where we are now:Bill –
We have already got 7 to 8 people interested in the wing chunβ¦and yes we are asking them to join wingchun.online

Hi Chris,
I obviously meant, if you, JEREMY and the guy from Louisville (Bill by the way) got together then it will definitely be able to work. π

Hi Chris,
It’s great that you guys are gonna meet up sometime.
Regarding a visit, this was definitely my long term plan but right at the moment this recent idea came up after a guy in Louisville KY contacted me saying he had 7 or 8 interested students and would I be able to arrange something with him, seminars over a couple of days. For a…[Read more]

Jeremy and Chris,
It’s great that you guys are chatting and I don’t want to interrupt but I just thought I’d throw this into the mix, I live 2.5 hours away from my own school in the UK, that’s a five hour round trip for me!
Two hours is not so bad, especially for the U.S!
And it’s not going to be daily, plus if you meet in-between it’s even…[Read more]

Hi Jeremy,
Glad those pointers worked for you, and good luck with meeting up with Chris too, I saw the message and decided not to wish you well there just yet.
I wanted to give Chris time to get a response to it first.As for on sight training, I guess it is possible but would be very costly, and may even work out cheaper for me to come to…[Read more]

Sifu Colin Ward replied to the topic Tan Sau to basic punches in the forum Members Forum 9 years, 7 months ago
Hi Chris,
No problem. When using Tan Sau your middle finger tip should be in centre and the elbow in between that finger and your shoulder, so somewhere in the middle is fine. Look at it this way, getting the elbow right in centre is not even possible, so don’t force it.
Remember this, ‘If it’s not comfortable, it’s not right’.

Hi Ben,
‘I look forward to educating myself in Wing Chun’, great statement and great attitude.
Welcome to the site and do let me know if you need any guidance, that’s what we’re here for.
We can chat later about training buddies but for now, happy exploring!

Hi Chris,
What a lovely introduction and welcome to the school.
I think your reasons for wanting to learn Wing Chun are perfect and you are so right, you’ll gain a lot of personal benefit from training your Siu Lim Tau (the ‘Little Idea’ form).
Don’t hesitate to ask should you have any questions or requests. I’ll let you settle in first and…[Read more]

Hi Jackson and welcome aboard my friend!
Thank you for your kind introduction too.
Wrestling knowledge is a great addition to have to Wing Chun, so no wasted time there! π
Somebody once asked my Sifu, ‘If you were going to train another style to compliment WC, what would it be?’
To which he answered, ‘Judo/wrestling, as after WC where else…[Read more] -

Very good, please let me know how the group grows.

You are most kind Syed my friend, and I have no doubt we will meet in person some day and at last play Chi Sau together.
Do you have people to train with there?
I cannot remember if you started your group yet or not. You would make a fine leader.

Thank you Syed,
Please take a look at the video on the blog, aimed at helping to better understand centreline, although the quality is not there, it will still help.
I’ll inform you when the new (very old) Bong Sau video is uploaded, it will less than 10 hours away.

Hi Matt,
Regarding your question regarding centreline, forgive the quality but I made a video for you explaining better. I made this very late at night after all classes and private sessions had finished, plus it’s on an iPhone so the sound is not great.
Hopefully it will make sense to you.
I’ll pop it on the blog too and also share through…[Read more]
