GRADING THIS WEEKEND!!

Kids class is shifting to 8:30am this weekend due to the adults grading which usually runs to about midday.

For those who are grading, get in early to warm up! Rest on Friday, just light training, stretching, nothing too rigorous. Make sure you hydrate and eat well and healthy.

If you’re not grading make sure you’re in to support those who are! As they will be there for you when you grade.

Everyone’s put in a stellar effort in the lead up to this grading, you will all shine on Saturday for sure.

See you all then!

Foundation memberships have opened up to interstate students for the Red Boat Wing Chun University! You will be entering in at grassroots level and helping to shape the University for future students.

For students with limited or no access to any of our satellite or affiliated schools, this means that you will be able to learn our system of Wing Chun and grade by correspondence, and essentially be a part of our family wherever you may be.

The University is over 350 pages and only growing, there are still hours upon hours of video to edit and upload to the site.

If you would like to be a part of it’s growth at a grassroots level, and be ahead of the curve then we are offering foundation memberships for the month of September.

This weekend the Children’s class is starting very early – 8:45am to 9:45am – due to the adults grading that starts at 10am and will run into the afternoon.

The Conditioning class is still on but also starting early. Meet at the Kwoon by 8:30am, bring training shoes as you will do part/most of your workout in the park behind the Kwoon.

Last Wing Chun class before grading is with Vadim at 6:30pm Friday.

Grading starts at 10am! Pack for it the night before, remember to pack all of your sparring gear. We need seniors on the mat as there are two students grading for Black belt. We need everyone in to support everyone who is grading for a new level.

Remember it’s also our 1 year anniversary in Redfern! So in good fashion we will be partying afterwards!! So be ready for that! We have an area put aside for us at the Abbotts Hotel just a short walk from the Kwoon.

WINTER GRADING THIS SATURDAY!! CELEBRATING 1 YEAR IN REDFERN AND SIFU’S BIRTHDAY!!

Such a great response from the BJJ Beginners Clinic on Monday nights!

We’re getting some fantastic turnouts at Monday’s 6:45pm class, well done everyone who made the first 4, for those who stuck that through you got a super revision last week and a finish! More to come these next 4 weeks.

Kicking and stretching on Tuesday at 6pm is going pretty well too, last week we looked at some great strength and speed training drills.

Beginners Kung Fu Course has been touched up a bit! We’re really enjoying teaching it and we’re seeing some great new students coming through – great work ethic, plenty of questions and all round awesome attitudes.

We’ve had quite a few girls join of late so we’re organising another girls day out. Sunday 6th August we’ll meet at the school by 10:30am (or 9:30 for BJJ) then we’re off to Coogee for the coastal walk to Bondi…which…well… we probably won’t make it to Bondi! But we’ll stop somewhere nice for lunch instead.

This Saturday is the Winter Wing Chun Grading. Starts at 10am, get in early to warm up. If you’re not grading come in to show your support! Looks like we will have a few Black belts going off this time too! So we will certainly need seniors on the mat for sparring.

Kids class on this Saturday will start at 8:45am. We don’t want to cancel their class so please come in early so they don’t miss their Saturday training!

This is also our first year celebration in Redfern. On the 30th July last year, we were celebrating the schools 30 year anniversary, then on the 31st of July we were moving out of Surry Hills. Two weeks later we started classes in Redfern. And here we are today celebrating one year in this fantastic neighbourhood!

It’s also Sifu’s birthday!!! So considering all of the above let’s go out and celebrate after the grading! We will leave straight from the school after the grading.

So there’s quite a bit happening. Let’s make this weekend amazing!
