Boxing/Traditional. Peak Performance starts this Sunday!

Hi guys,

It became quite apparent last night that all of the traditional Wing Chun aspects of the coming grading assessments need some work. We have only 3 weeks until the end of year school grading (12th December), that’s a lot of ground to cover in a short period of time.

So tonight’s boxing class will be 50/50, boxing/wing chun.

With the boxing we’ll keep it dirty adding some new tricks to our game that can not just lead into close striking opportunities but the potential for takedowns as well.

With the Wing Chun we’ll keep it strictly Traditional. Chi Sau (or for white belts Trapping Hands), Forms and Wooden Dummy. Boxing purists who are not grading feel free to work on your light/technical sparring skills.

I plan to stick around until late, so if class runs over and you can stay to keep drilling your material, I’ll be here.

Same goes for Thursday after BJJ. Let me know if you would like to come in from 7pm to work on grading material until 8/8:30.

In addition! Peak Performance starts this Sunday! It’s been condensed to 4 weeks so we’re done before the year (and Summer) is out. Get your name down. It’s a fitness and nutrition course that will give you the tools for the duration of your lifetime.

See you then,

Amy

Kung Fu Classes in Sydney Tonight and Saturday. Grading Saturday 19th September!

Hi guys,

Tonight’s Wing Chun with Vadim at 6:30pm is working the clinch game, delivering strikes and getting the back from the clinch. Progress into free-flow sparring (16 oz gloves required – please bring your own or order a pair with Amy)

9am Saturday is Conditioning with Frances – not to be missed! As you saw in last week’s live stream she smashes!

10am with Sifu is Wing Chun. There will be some grading practice during the class, all levels should still attend even if you have no intention of grading this spring (Sep. 19th) it shows support for your training partners, leadership and an opportunity for you to hone your skills without the pressure of being assessed on them.

11am is Kids Kung Fu with Damien will be all about structure and drilling the core skillsets for guards, footwork, blocks and strikes.

See you on the mat.

Two New Wing Chun Red Belts.

What a fantastic day on Saturday. Great turnout, thank you one and all, so very proud of all belts awarded with obviously a huge mention to Dave and Frances. Massive milestone. Congratulations “Red Devils” it makes it all worthwhile.

So onwards and upwards, this week is all about attacking the back, a strategty all Wing Chun warriors need to know. Get the back, attack the back, control the back. Tonight’s class will be taken by our accomplished Black Belts John (Kraken) and Alex, as Amy and I have a breather. Tomorrow for a bit of fun I will be coaching true boxing with a tribute to Lomachenko. Looking at what makes him tick with some of his best tactics and training drills.

See you on the mat.
