Forms and Foundations!





Morning guys and girls,

We’re finetuning skills this week with a focus on forms and foundations like Chi Sau and old school conditioning. So make your way in this fine day for a workout.

BJJ yesterday had another great turnout. 90 mins of BJJ really allows time for a lot of drilling and detailing – Sunday is a great day to indulge a little.

The new weekday Juniors programs are filling up nicely! If you know any families with children between 4.5yrs into their teens that would enjoy training in Wing Chun, send them our way!

Friday’s first monthly Junior Masters Succession Program went nicely – we discussed different aspects of communication, how we interpret information and then finished with a practical overview of Chum Kil as a treat.

Classes today:

12.15pm Wing Chun
4.15pm Under 10’s JMAP
6pm Wing Chun
7pm Sparring
7.15pm Wing Chun Foundations

Classes tomorrow:

4.30pm Over 10’s JMAP (Juniors Martial Arts Program)
6pm Boxing

See you on the mat!

Sunday BJJ Redfern





Hi guys and girls!

Sifu’s on the mat today, after Frances smashes you with yet another of her challenging workouts. Following adults Wing Chun is the Junior Martial Arts All Ages class.

Sunday is BJJ. As said yesterday, to be a balanced martial artist means having an all-round game and this includes ground work – literally. 90 minutes on a Sunday morning (or Thursday night) is dedicated to addressing the ground with BJJ. So… roll on in!

Saturday schedule:

9am Conditioning
10am Wing Chun
11.15am Junior Martial Arts – All Ages

Sunday:

9.30am BJJ

See you on the mat!

Conditioning Class 9am Saturday! and other mentions…


Morning guys,

Gotta love this Summer weather right? Still, no reason not to look fighting fit…and actually know how to fight.

Todays classes are:

12.15pm Wing Chun with Frances
6.30pm Wing Chun with Sifu & Amy (Vadim and Mayur are away for the weekend)

Tomorrows classes are:

9am Conditioning with the “smiling assassain” Frances
10am Wing Chun with Sifu
11.15am Junior Martial Arts Program – All Ages with Damien

Now a general mention or two:

Wednesday night has a full 30 minutes dedicated to sparring – get in and use that time! Sparring is absolutely essential to your progression.

Thursday night and Sunday morning are dedicated BJJ classes – if you want an all-round game, then at some stage you must address the ground. We can only cover so much in the Wing Chun classes, so get in on a Thursday night or Sunday morning when you can, you might find that you love it!

Finally, Sifu had an important mat chat on our Facebook livestream group page this morning, so please check it out. Here’s the link: https://bit.ly/34O1B7l if you’re not a member yet request to join the group and make sure you answer the questions for approval. Thanks!

See you on the mat,

Red Boat Team
