Training Today and Tomorrow – Tune In!!!

Awesome workout this morning, we had 20 of you legends with us! Had a chat too about why we chose Wing Chun/this Wing Chun.

Lunch class today is a super revision of this week’s training.

Next class is tomorrow at 10am Sydney time.

There is currently a bit of a disconnect between what we are doing via livestream and what we are releasing on the Uni. If you are missing out on the livestreams because you are not on Facebook, don’t worry, you will be getting them soon! In the meantime, here’s a workout of the week to keep you moving.

See you on the mat!

Livestream Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/rbkflivestream/

The livestream group is only available to Sydney students and Red Boat University subscribers with a Wing Chun Renegade subscription or above. See https://www.redboatuniversity.com/pricing/

This post has been made available to Red Boat University FREE Sample subscribers today.

Latest from Red Boat HQ

Thank you everyone for your support! We had a couple of fantastic park workouts before the new lockdown restrictions have further limited us to max 2 from same household training. We’re averaging 10 people watching (and hopefully training!) our livestream live. If you miss it you can watch it later as it’s saved in our Facebook group RBKF Live Stream. It’s been great touching base with you all every morning.

Something that we have mentioned in the live stream is, now is a great opportunity for you to ask questions and make requests. We can tailor our classes for you. So send in your requests on Facebook or info@redboatkungfu.com

We started recording for Kid’s Kung Fu yesterday, we’re still working on the format so would love some feedback from parents. Parents please join our Red Boat Kids group page to view the lessons. At present we are not live streaming for the kid’s classes but are pre-recording them both for Facebook and what will be a new membership/course on Red Boat University. They are set out in 3 sections/3 seperate videos: 1, workout; 2, technical (looking at strikes, forms or a technique); and 3, defensive training – so blocks, footwork and self defense strategy or defense focused techniques. Please offer your feedback.

We miss you all!!!

Updates From Us. Plus Livestreaming Workout Tomorrow 7:30am on Facebook

 

Hi guys!

Hope everyone is staying healthy! Tomorrow morning we are livestreaming a workout on RBKF Live Stream on Facebook at 7:30am so be sure to tune in! Also tomorrow we are meeting at Alexandria Park at 12:15pm for the first of our out-door sessions. No gi required (but please do wear something), bring a yoga mat or picnic blanket incase we do some ground work as it has been raining. Only groups of 10 including the instructor are allowed! So please let us know if you’re coming. You can book online, there’s a limit of 10 with a limit of 10 on the wait list. We do have contingency plans if too many arrive, but we’ll worry about discussing that if it happens. Saturday is a 10am meet. Please only attend if you can drive/ride in! We do not want anyone catching public transport unnecessarily.

We hope you are enjoying the daily workouts! I’m in the process of setting up Zoom to live stream on various platforms, however at present it is only Facebook on the RBKF Live Stream Group that we are doing this (and sharing fly on the wall footage from our RedBoatUni shoots). If you’re not on Facebook maybe create a dummy account just for this purpose, just for now.

On that note, we will be live streaming and recording tomorrow’s park session. The live stream audio won’t be 100% but you can follow on easily enough. Red Boat Uni will release a video with clear audio at a later date.

Welcome to the Uni for those who have upgraded their Red Boat University accounts, and for those who were already members and have asked to maintain their Kwoon membership during the Lockdown, we hope you’re enjoying the Peak Performance course. Please contact me directly for discount codes or access to Peak Performance on either info@redboatkungfu.com or 0421637298

Hope to see a lot of you guys over the next couple of days, we will continue with the park workouts while we are still allowed to, so keep an eye out on your emails for when the next ones will be.

Latest Update from Red Boat!

 

Hey guys,

Hope you all are well.

A quick update from us… we have recieved a number of requests for out door training, which we are keen to do! So given the weather is good let’s all meet this Saturday at Alexandria Park at 10am for a workout. No uniforms necessary. We will meet as a “special interest group” so that we won’t have to bother council for permits etc. Please only come if you can drive in. We don’t want anyone taking public transport unnecessarily. Feedback on best times for weekday training sessions will be appreciated. With the change in everyone’s routine it would be a wild guess on our part for the best time to all meet up on a weekday.

Fly on the wall footage of today’s shoot for the Red Boat Uni will be up on the RBKF Live Stream page shortly.

In addition, we have been getting some great suggestions from you all regarding what we can do for you all during this time. We are constantly looking at options and streaming on Zoom is one of them.

Take care everyone!

See you soon.

FYI This was posted on Facebook yesterday for anyone interested.

Government Imposed Lockdown

Dear students and friends,

As you would all be well aware by now, the Government – both National and State – have imposed a lockdown of non-essential services including gyms effective of midday today. We kept our doors open for as long as we could but today they must close. From what was said last night – regarding reviewing imposed sanctions every month – it is safe to say that we will be closed for at least one month, may be more.

Obviously we don’t want this, but we didn’t want this pandemic either! And we must do what has to be done to work together for the greater good.

We are humbled by how loyal and giving you have been – it will be remembered – and we will make every effort possible to ensure our doors open again once this is all over, and during this lockdown keep the information flowing using Facebook and Red Boat University and other measures to, but if you have to suspend your membership we do understand – we don’t know what hardships you are going through. Please advise us via info@redboatkungfu.com if you cannot maintain your membership during this time.

Please join our live feed (not always live) on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/504266926925852/ We will post training sessions for you to do at home and use it as an open platform to share training tips. But please use it to post your training sessions as well, so we can see what your doing and coach you from afar. For the kids we will be doing the same, so parents/brothers/sisters please join our Kid’s Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/106457386174383/ both groups are private so only members can view your posts and the members are only current students.

During this time we will also be directing our energies on the Red Boat University including the addition of a Kid’s program and membership. So watch this space for updates and specials for Red Boat University.

On a more positive note… while it was a first to not have any sparring!… Friday and Saturday’s gradings were fantastic. Very sharp. Congratualtions everyone who graded, and thank you everyone who helped!!

ATTN PARENTS: Kid’s Kung Fu UPDATE

Dear Parents,

Thank you for bearing with us during this difficult time. As promised we have made a decision regarding the Kid’s Kung Fu classes. For the remainder of this term we have decided to cancel the classes. Most of our younger students are, well, quite young! and our concern is maintaining the recommended social distancing guidelines during class. Term 2 starts in 5 weeks. We’re hoping that much of this will have passed by then and Kid’s Kung Fu classes will be back up and running! But no-one really knows how this will pan out at this stage. What ever happens we will offer all affected Kid’s Kung Fu students a discount on their next term.

This is as disappointing for us as it is for you and your children. We had such a strong end to last year and strong start to this year, watching your children learn and grow is so inspiring. But the health and well-being for our community must come first. Thank you all for your understanding.

Damien will be updating the Kid’s Kung Fu group page on Facebook with posts about the grading structure and curriculum so please send through a request to join if you aren’t already a member. https://www.facebook.com/groups/106457386174383/

See you all soon!

Class Tonight, Grading Tomorrow, Kids and Conditioning Class Cancelled Tomorrow

Tonight’s 6:30pm class with Vadim: bag work, solo drills, footwork drills, a lot of moving around and staying active. Can’t make it in? Tune in for the live feed.

Tomorrow’s grading is going ahead for Wing Chun. Not BJJ unfortunately, but such is the way things are right now.

Kid’s Kung Fu tomorrow is cancelled. We will decide on Monday how to move forward with kids class on Monday and notify you all then.

Conditioning Class is cancelled tomorrow also. Typical of grading days anyway.

Stay tuned for a message from Sifu and footage from today’s Wing Chun Grading (2 guys couldn’t make it tomorrow so we’re graded today).

Moving forward: adults training, kids training and this Saturday’s Grading

Hi everyone,

A quick message regarding tonight’s training, kid’s classes and Saturday’s grading.

All training will be noncontact for the next couple of weeks. There are heaps of things to do with solo drills which I will show you tonight.

The grading’s technical component will be done in the air as a solo drill and a fitness test instead of sparring. Trust me when I say that it will still be challenging.

We have decided that it is best to cancel kid’s kung fu class this week – inc this afternoon and Saturday – because of the grading and today’s rapid increase in restrictions. We will reasses on Monday and endeavour to be back for kids next week.

We have created a Facebook page for live streaming – it may not always be live but we’ll do our best – for all current members of the club to access. It is a private group, so you will need to request to join. Follow this link to start access https://m.facebook.com/groups/504266926925852

Side note, Amy’s made hand sanitizer but if anyone finds any for sale (must me minimum 60% alcohol) please get us some! It’s been very hard to come by.

We will be in touch with our instructors today to discuss other options for moving forward.
