Hi guys!

Don’t miss today’s True Boxing lunch class at 12:15 with Sifu, he’s got some great strategic drills planned!

Then there’s Vadim’s Wing Chun Kung Fu class at 6:30pm tonight which is all about set-ups for your side kicks, spin side kicks and round kicks. All essential for your martial arts fight game.

Saturday’s Fitness and Conditioning class at 9am with Frances will be another heartstarter for the weekend.

The 10am Wing Chun Kung Fu class will be Sifu setting up this coming weeks theme so don’t miss it!

Don’t miss any of these classes if you can.

Finally the Kids Kung Fu classes will start next week, first one is on Monday at 4:15pm. Remember if your child(ren) was enrolled in term 1 we will attribute a 30% discount to this terms fees. Last term was “pay per class” so if you have any fees owing from last term please fix them up on your next visit with either myself (Amy) or Sifu Rick.

On a side note, we have had some enquiries about whether we are training at our Redfen location or Alexandria Park. We are most definitely conducting all of our martial arts and conditioning classes at our training hall at our Redfern address.

See you on the mat.

 

Hey guys,

Thanks for an awe inspiring True Boxing class last night, one of my all time favourites. Excited to be back on a Wednesday night tonight, I have a cool and old school class planned so try to be there.

Lunch class with Zac will be continuing on this week’s theme of real-world applications of trapping hands and the perfect side kick, plus his own flavours added to the mix.

It’s uncertain times but the show must go on.

Stay focused out there, be tolerant of others, take no risks and above all, stay safe.

See you on the mat.

Hi guys,

Thank you for a fantastic turnout and great class on Saturday! We covered how to deliver a perfect side kick and understanding trapping hands – including how it is REALLY used in combat.

Sunday BJJ was a great turnout also, we covered essential foundation skills and drills with some light rolling to finish.

Today’s 12:15 lunch class with Zac will include Saturday’s lesson themes with the addition of sparring essentials.

Tonights 6pm with Sifu is good old fashioned forms, chi sau and hand sparring.

7:15pm with Mayur is flow drill, touch reflex drills with kicking combination and some light sparring to finish.

Hi guys,

You missed a great BJJ day yesterday! Andrew’s 12:15 class then March’s 6pm both rocked! Maybe you can catch up on Sunday at the 9:30am session. What you missed on Wednesday night was a kicking and forms class.

Today’s classes are 12:15 with Sifu and then 6:30pm with Mayur. Sifu will update you later this morning for the lunch class plan so keep an eye out on Facebook, but Mayur’s class tonight is installment 2 of trappping hands flow into boxing drills then sparring with you 16’s.

Speaking of 16’s… if you don’t have a sparring kit, you need one. You can purchase a full kit with us (which includes groin guard, 16’s, fingerless/mma sparring gloves, mouth guard and shin instep protectors) for around $250. A small investment for your chosen sport. There will be no more “spares” available to use as per our COVID management plan.

See you on the mat!

Hi guys,

Thanks for last night great class. We did some pretty intense circuit drills that everyone completed, well done. Then we explored the versatility of Pak Sau and the different variations of it. Plus we chatted about the missing principles of Wing Chun that actually make it work.

Look out for my new vlog “Shooting from the Lip” and I’ll see you tonight for True Boxing where we’ll cover dealing with the jab and the cross with parrys and footwork principle “step up and over”.

See you on the mat.

Our annual memorial service for Jonathan Church is this Friday. This year marks 24 years since his passing. He was Sifu’s 6th student and Sifu considered him to be like a brother/son and was one of Sifu’s first Gold Belts. Every year on 12th June we honour his memory. Our Student of the Year Awards have been given in his name every year since his passing.

Jonathan Church was one of 18 killed in a training disaster in Townsville 1996. In 2015 a new annual tradition was initiated called “The Jonathan Church Ethical Soldier Award and will be made to nine soldiers each year, three of whom will be also named as ambassadors. The award is named in honour of Tpr Jonathan Church, an SASR paramedic who helped save children whose parents were massacred in Rwanda in 1995.”

For those who cannot make it into the city, we will be observing one minute’s silence before the 7:30am morning live stream class. For those who can make it in, we are meeting at the Martin Place cenotaph between 11 and 11:30am. Afterwards we will go to the Cauliflower Hotel in Waterloo to commemorate. Jonny’s training buddies will be there as always.

We hope to see you on Friday online or in person.
