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

Don’t Miss Boxing Tonight! Next Beginner’s Course Starts Wednesday Week

Don’t miss tonight’s boxing class at 6pm. We’re revising last week’s angled defensive and offensive footwork and combos, with some additional combinations and setups added to the mix. Repetition is absolute key to pulling any of this off in real time so don’t miss it and stick around for sparring after class.

Next Wednesday is the first class of the latest Beginner’s Course. This month’s one has been a load of fun and finishing up tomorrow. So if you know anyone who is keen to give martial arts a go but sitting on the sidelines get them to contact us and we’ll get them started.

See you on the mat.

All things Hammer Fist!

Hi guys,

Having a very creative week with hammer fists, got some interesting level change strikes tonight and also from double arm chi sau we have a super cool double bracial stun combined with some figure 4 locks and shoulder controls. David Hilston Esquire will be conducting the class and I’ll be watching to make sure no-one goofs off! So train hard, see you on Saturday for a super revision.

Big thank you to the weapons lunatics! We raised the funds for the new dummy and it was ordered yesterday along with what’s needed to convert the current one to wall mount also. Well done guys.

See you on the mat,

Sifu

Morgan Sports hand weights are back in stock, we’ve ordered 10 of the 2kg sets (1kg each – definitely enough for a full shadow boxing workout), they haven’t even arrived to us yet but we only have 4 left. So please get in quick, they are $40 for the pair. The 5kg (2.5kg each) hand weights sold out from Morgan in only 1 day.

We have gone live with Clubworx – the new member management software. I’ve started contacting members on direct debit/ongoing memberships, but I’ll eventually be in touch with everyone to update your member profile. If I call you at a bad time just let me know. It should only be a 5 minute call.

The check-in screen also looks different. Please make sure you are registering for the correct class when you check in. Member portal details will be sent to you soon so you can also book and keep track of you attendance making checking in much quicker. Booking into classes is important as it counts toward your grading readiness criteria.

There’s quite a bit of background work to do for a full rollout of the new support/inclusions we will be offering with your memberships, but follow this link for description of what we will be doing in the near future.

Thank you everyone for your support!
