Hi guys,

Sifu will be doing a 2 hour Sparring Clinic on Sunday 22nd of May as a free workshop for all current and active members!

Thank you parents and guardians for getting in early for the 9am reschedule of the Juniors All Ages! We appreciate your flexibility.

The grading itself was fantastic, great effort from all involved. I’m sure Sifu will have much to say in his Mat Chat early this week.

Stay focused. This month in Wing Chun we are working on our Chi Sau and Clinch game. This will also mean Dirty Boxing for Tuesday nights. BJJ… it’s where you guys live so, the core BJJ classes will continue as per March and/or Andrew’s plans and BJJ Foundations will continue to work on foundational material.

There will be one more Tip Grading (18th June) and one more Belt Grading (30th July) after which we will be easing back on the time between gradings.

The next BJJ Grading will be on 24th July.

Wooden Dummy Workshop is on the horizon. It’s scheduled for the 12th June. You can book directly here or copy and paste: https://bit.ly/393vTVt to your browser.

Finally, exciting news. Charlie is locked in for his Gold Belt on Saturday 2nd July! So be sure to clear that day in your diary.

Plenty to do.

See you on the mat,
Amy

Hi guys,

For many reasons… you really need to have your own sparring gear. Think OHS, think reliability, think ownership. 

You don’t need to go all-out and order some crazy stuff online, Australia makes great gear at great quality and prices. Ordering from us supports the school, but it also ensures that you are getting the correct equipment – this plays a major role in injury prevention.

Get your orders in now.

Classes today:

12:15pm Wing Chun – Frances
4:15pm Under 10’s JMAP – Amy
6pm Wing Chun Damien
7pm Sparring – Amy
7:15pm Wing Chun – Mayur

See you on the mat.

Morning all,

Grading is fast approaching. With the new grading material we advise you take all opportunities for getting across the techniques so when you are ready to grade you’ve already got a handle on it.

Today’s lunch class is at the usual time of 12:15 with Frances, then there’s 6:30pm with Vadim which will be Sil Lum Tao form to warm up, trapping hands (2nd instalment) and dedicated time for grading practice.

Let’s see good numbers on the mat and hard training! Sifu’s in for Wing Chun tomorrow, Frances I’m sure has a killer workout planned for the morning session and the first Saturday Juniors class resumes tomorrow at 11:15am.

See you on the mat.

Morning guys!

Breaks and holidays are over let’s get refocused and back into it.

This Sunday is the BJJ grading. You guys have been prepping and patiently waiting and unless you’re totally new then you should be ready to go for your next level. You’re a pretty tight group so I know Andrew and March have been giving you relevant feedback in this regard.

Saturday 7th May at 10am is the Wing Chun grading. This does affect the start time of the Juniors All Ages classes – so parents please be advised Juniors start time on this day is 9am. The Conditioning class on this day is cancelled to accommodate the Juniors.

We will be smashing grading practice this week and next. I will be around before and after classes to answer any questions and help with your prep. Classes up to the grading will include a martial workout, drills and grading prac. We will do universal essentials – forms, chi sau, trapping hands and dummy (for intermediate and above) – together. Expect about 20mins for grading practice. So get in early and stay back. Tee up with a training buddy and punch out the reps outside of class. You want to make this yours? You’ve got to self initiate your training.

Sparring… this is a belt grading so sparring is something you will need to be coming in for. Tonight we’re working on all ranges, so bring your mma SPARRING gloves. These have extra padding than mma fighting gloves. We sell all the equipment you need! If you don’t have your own shin guards, 16’s and mma sparring gloves GET SOME. Talk to me next time you’re in.

Let’s smash it!!

See you on the mat.

Dear members,

Being ANZAC Day, we are closed for classes today.

Have an inspired day.

See you on the mat.
