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!

BOB AND WEAVE

Hi there everone ..hope your feeling rested after the long weekend ..tonight is all about head movement ..on the scale it is the most difficult to master …it is no more important than footwork and checking its just tougher to get right …to slip with no room to spare so as to counter seemlessly with little to no lag time takes real skill and tonights class is dedicated to that …ive taken 6 scenarios with a minimun of a 3 punch counter  for each one… simple but effective …no checking means no insurance …but if you slip and counter  perfectly  then the risk is worth the reward…also a reminder the weapons day is coming soon get your names down asap ..im excited about wall mounted dummies !! see you on the mat  regards Sifu
