Hi Paddington,
Where are you from? I live and train in Burnley (with one of Jims students).

Great clip... but sorry to burst your bubble dude

Looks familiar :D
Sansa didn't go with him... He told her to but then left on his own.
Hey Danny,
Don't get me wrong... If the control system / sensitivity works as well as I hope it will, I can't wait..... I'll definitely be keeping track of progress and keeping an eye out for the...
Good luck dude...
Stands back and covers head:eek:
TBH, it sounds like it'd be fun to play... but will 'teach real martial arts' in the same way that Guitar Hero teaches you to play the guitar.
Cheers for all the responses guys...
WC1277, I get where you're coming from... When I started rolling, I WAS very tight in on the centre... Over the last few weeks though I do seem to have eased...
Sorry if it came across that way Phil... I can assure you that's not what was intended at all...
If you re-read my post I don't think you'll find me stating that any lineage is better than any...
I've not been in any full on free-style exchanges yet but my sifu's been getting me and my VT brother (both started at the same time) rolling and a few simple techniques (jut sau / pak sau etc).
...
Right then... In light of all the recent Chi Sao discussions, I thought I'd get one started.
I've been training WSL VT for 9 months or so now and have done some (not a lot though) chi sao.
The...
That's the most chilled out rant I've ever seen then :D
Lucky for me i didn't call him Theodore then :-D
Heard last night that it looks like this is probably happening towards the end of July... £100 (at least it was last I heard) for a weekend seminar with a deposit of around £30.
Exact location is...
To be honest, there's no firm details as yet as far as I'm aware...
As far as I know, cost is about £100 and will be taking place in the summer... Jim will be able to give more details as when he...
Is anyone thinking of coming to this?
It'd be good to put a face to some of the names on here. :)

Definitely not 20hrs + a week (or anywhere close to that)... We have a 2 hour training session, occasional practice at lunch times and then practicing forms at home.
I used to do Shorinji Kempo...
I started last August so 6 months now.
Basically, until the beginning of this year, there was only myself and 1 other guy training at the club since it has only just been setup.
Our sifu has...
As it happens we worked through the first couple of sections of CK in training last night...
In addition to everything else that's been mentioned here, there also seems to be a lot of emphasis on...
Yeah, I wasn't thinking in terms of SLT being exclusively inside gate and CK being exclusively outside gate... More that they introduce techniques / lend themselves to inside / outside gates.
Oh,...
Whilst I was reading through this, I had one of those sudden flashes of inspiration (although it COULD be complete bobbins).
SLT, as we all know, is done in the basic YGKYM stance and doesn't...
Just giving this post a cheeky bump in case anyone fancies a trip to the North West (UK)...
Mat
Not so much pushing as a neutral force...
'Pushing' would suggest a use of force trying to move the obstacle you've just met...
What I (and I think Ian from what he says) meant is that a...
Hi there,
Some of you are probably aware from a previous post that I've not been training VT for too long (since last August to put a specific timeframe on things)...
Anyway, I have a grading...
To me, forward pressure is the springiness that allows you to exploit any 'holes' in your opponents structure... ie when you feel a gap, you (and your structure) fill it without having to think about...
