Greetings …Super excited about tonights class..2 reasons..1 the plan goes to the next level and 2 I’m going to be there …Tonight we are going to be dealing with body blows …next level…what we have been doing is to get you to this point …Working the radius …Angling off …Weaving ..Tonight we put all of that into play against body blows with split level counters…This is advanced and bends the rules …Dont miss it!…See you on the mat…Sifu
Hi everyone tonights theme …Larp sau one of the most versitile moves in Wing Chun…an awsome block/redirection great for wrist and bicep pummelling …outside collar ties .. handcuffs and more!.. We will defend strikes first then drill some awsome redirection and capture to take down options … and also working the radius footwork drills that flow into these techniques …I love this stuff…A reminder weapons this coming Sunday get your names down asap weapons must be ordered by Wednesday…Kuen Yao Sum Faat …Sifu
Hi there all…tonight will be mondays class foundation skills will be garn sau and its applicaton against side kicks and front kicks plus trapping hands set up using garn sau to fake low then pin and attack high with back fist …plus forms and sparring …stay tuned for saturdays super revision ..i have a dummy set for you that is not part of the original 108 movements …see you on the mat Sifu
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

Hi guys …tonights class will include a super cool muti stage trapping drill one of my all time favourites ..plus plenty of forms work and striking drills.. dont miss it!…also due to the school holidays being on it makes sense to push back the weapons day until October the 18th… remember the proceeds will be going to wall mounted Dummies… cost are as follows …if you already have all the weapons 149.00…if you need swords 199.00…if you need swords and a karambit 239…practice military knives will be supplied on the day …train well Sifu
Tonights true boxing is all about long set pad work …one of the most valuable skills for thinking fast when both under pressure and applying it ..the ability to create angles and shots… to slip and move and counter smoothly with no breakdown of rhythm or tempo…long sets should include most if not all of your boxing arsenal…great footwork ..checking ….head movement …counters ..set ups fakes and fients…also without doubt one of the most satisfying things to do when you start to really nail it …were going to prime with the original long set …then a set we trained a few months ago were we went out to 19 and more .. apart from tactics …strategies and various other themes we will build up our long set repertoire over the next few months …regards Sifu
Hi everyone tonights class theme is 5th dummy set and corresponding techniques ..this set was always a tough one to figure out …ive seen numerous interpretations over the years none of which made any sense to me ..up until about 23 years ago when drilling pummeling and i had a moment of realisation the 5th set is a pummelling set ..it instantly made total sense and tonight you will get to train some of the logical and legit technique options from it ..in fact it was this realisation that made me rethink the entire dummy sets and the system as a whole ..so i hope you enjoy …and yes plenty of hitting things as well …Regards Sifu
