I’ve trained with my teacher, a woman, for 8 years. I’ve never gone ‘toe to toe’ in a ring with her, but we've 'knocked arms' a lot over the years. The heaviness in her arms along with seamless...

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if anyone can recommend a good Wing Chun school/ teacher in KL?

Thanks,
David

Two different people.

You and I had this discussion some time back and I believe I put you wrong, my Chinese is not great!

Sifu David Rogers may be able to answer your query as to who Wong Lun...

I shot this in 2006, same teacher, my Sibak Deng Jan Gong.

Segment from the same form as well.

Probably only if someone on here recognizes him.

Some great clips in here.....and best of all, opens with Hap Gar;)

Thanks all for all the suggestions above.

I spent half a day going from Chemist to Chemist asking for 2 litres of (transparent) Ethanol. Strangely enough, none were prepared to sell such a large...

Thanks for that.....

My Chinese mother n law found it somewhat amusing that I was going to attempt to make rice wine.:rolleyes: She LHAO in fact and told me go buy some spirits as it would be a...

Herb Ox and OTD,

Thanks both for your advice. I like the idea of the Brewing my own Rice Wine......apparently it can stink pretty bad I hear so will have to get wife approval first:)

Some great...

Hi,

Other than off the shelf bottled spirits, can anyone recommend an alternative base in which I can use for my Dit Da Jow? Can I use 50% ethanol and 50% water? Is there a better alternative?

Hi Simui,

Nice post. There are not enough female martial artists around. Especially since females almost always have the most to gain in training in a MA.

Anyhow my Sifu is female and has...

Anyone else read this book?

Just got a copy and am half way through it.

Discusses in some depth the Principles of martial arts power that are common across all systems.

Approach is more...

Ideally you want a few of you to do the commute .....allows more information to be taken in and more importantly recalled and recalled accurately when you're back home. Also gets your training...

Sifu's David & Mike,

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this.

More of this kind of stuff is what is needed to broaden the understanding of these great traditions.

I particularly enjoyed the...

Having been to China twice I found this a very entertaining read. If you travel to the small towns and villages in-land you can still get the same kinda experiences. My wife is from a 'small' town...

In our school we have five Hung Gar Sets.

Yeah Hung Gar for 5 years and yes it's strengthened my forearms (tendons, ligaments, muscle fiber etc) noticeably.

Probably Hung Ga for its work on the forearms and wrists. But then i saw some Wing Chun in Futsan which looked as hard as nails with plenty of dynamic tension going on in their basic forms.

What...

Hmm....some more good news....

My Sifu and I met Xue at a kung fu festival in Auckland in 2004. He came across arrogant and had IMO a very over inflated...

Nice point!

But we do need those 'mansion' builders so they can pass on their knowledge to those who only want to build huts right.

Agree.....and as I said, after five years, the basics should be to a good standard. But then why would you want to start learning a new art (chasing a new rabbit) if you've only got good basics in a...

From my experience I recon it takes a lot longer than 5 years or a black belt to be 'good' in a system. But then it depends on hour many hours of quality training you have done in that 5 years with a...

Yeah, the 12 section Tam Tui routine is the first form taught in the Chin Woo school and is often taught (to beginners) in two groups of 6 movements. Jie Tan Tui (2 person spring kicking) is another...

Admire their athleticism but not my thing.

Looks like TKD on Steroids:D So I guess I'd have to agree with you that they are taking that to a whole new level which for them is all good.
