Well after a years training and some help from a valued friend I (we, training partner as well) decided to take another trip back to Sifu Gary Lam's training facility in Monterey Park California. Like last year, this was a great decision, the time spent there was more than I can describe. Sifu Lam never fails to deliever. He is as skillful as ever and always is available for whatever questions you may have. The information and training we have taken back is exactly what we needed. Sifu Lam is an encyclopedia of Wing Chun information, and from what I can tell likes it when you ask him questions. The power, speed and flow of his movement is top notch, and quite scary at times. Thank God he is a nice guy.
Sifu Lam is also a gracious and entertaining host, always with a smile on his face greeting you first thing in the morning preparing you for the days training with positive thoughts. For all those interested in improving their Wing Chun effectiveness and practical application, please visit Sifu Lam in LA, as you will never regret the experience. You can live on the grounds, train 6 hours a day and have more than enough help, from not only Sifu Lam but his top instructors as well. They are so free with the information that you sometimes think they are giving it away for very little in return.
Another reason for my trip was to visit with my friend and “Sihing”, Ernie. Ernie never fails to amaze me with his total enthusiasm and vigor for Wing Chun and what is can do for us as Human Beings. Not surprisingly, Ernie has evolved since our last visit together. You see it, feel it, and hear it in his voice and in what he has to say. He is truly an amazing Man first and foremost but also an amazing Wing Chun coach. The power in his punch is something to feel, as both my training partner and I had plenty of opportunity, but the cool part is when you train with Ernie, he brings the Wing Chun engine out of you and has the ability to teach you in so many different ways. He is the perfect compliment to Sifu Lam and his training methods. Ernie would explain something one way, and then low and behold Sifu Lam would cover the same topic while using his own unique way of explaining it. Both make perfect sense and follow along the same lines.
I would like to thank some others that I had a chance to learn and train from. Sam is one of Sifu Lam’s senior instructors and has a unique way of experessing his Wing Chun, thank you Sam for all your wisdom and time spent with me. Also, Paul another senior instructor, you wisdom is not on deaf ears, I thank you as well. Nosh, Emil, Robin, D!ck , thanks for the moments of wisdom and taking the time to train with me and Randy, you are all an inspiration.
See you all again soon..
