Seni 2008 April
We have been fortunate enough to have the event held at Seni 2008 show. The Seni Show has grown and grown over the years and has now become the premier martial arts show in the UK.
Pagoda Imports who make the best Wooden Dummy I have seen will be the sponsors for the event.
I hope this will be the start of Wing Chun becoming a tried and tested system of its ‘core skills’ again. It will be excellent to see different Wing Chun schools putting the heart into the art. It will only serve to bring good Wing Chun closer.
Remember: It’s not about whether you win or lose. It’s about having the skills to be able to play in the first place! Just by competing you are already a winner!
