Here it is. My apologies.

I recently ran across a picture of the "Sword Dancer." It was taken back in 1896 I think. In San Francisco. The guy in the picture appears to be doing some sort of butterfly sword form. According to...

Dr. Bingkun Hu. Wild Goose. Ancient and beautiful.

Utter drivel.

I'm not repeating someone else's dogma. The concept expressed is my own. And I understand if you cannot grasp it readily. The "mushin" of wing chun is not a simple thing to readily understand at...

It helps align the hip girdle forward giving you better stability and limits the "spill" of your energy forward and downward. Lowers your stance and helps align the hips with the elbows.

Anybody know of a good wing chun school IN Salem, Oregon?

I pretty much agree with everything you stated. Just wanted to clear this part up.

I most definitely did not mean intent, as I quite agree that without intent much "mental structure" is missing...

I have to respectfully disagree with this. WCK folks should not be thinking of ANYTHING when drilling or sparring. Thinking of doing chi sao when doing chi sao is AS bad as thinking of striking...

Sorry, but I can't go there with you on this one. The punch using the middle finger in a "phoenix eye-like" way... I have never seen used in except by my kenpo friends. They call it a "dragon"...

It sounds like your "Another first" is what folks are talking about here. I know what a tiger or leopard fist is and it's not the same as the Phoenix Eye.

I've learned Wing Chun through the Eddie...

I like this idea. I had given him a shaolin monk statue sometime back and was kind considering this idea for now.

I want to thank you guys for your ideas. I really appreciate your help.

1. What is the wing chun paradigm (belief) of fighting?
The more you try to do wing chun, the less you grasp of it.

2. What is the wing chun strategy (the general goal or plan) in fighting?
No...

Actually I had thought of that, but since he's 10 years old and is moving to another state I wasn't sure what I could give him. I think I will be giving him a video of the last day of class, but I...

There's no vid of the classes, but that's not a bad idea. Maybe I can document things on the last night on video for him so he has something to look back on. Thanks Leung Jan.

...(sigh)...

I'm really amazed that there were no more posts on this on than the one above. While YungChun's post is quite thorough and pretty much covers it all IMHO, I was hoping to see more input here. I...

:D

Too funny. But seriously, any unique ideas are appreciated.

A good idea. Problem there is he is leaving on Wednesday and most of the students won't be around until after. Real bummer though. That would be a great keepsake for him.

Wow! A very good post. Thanks YungChun.

Hi all,

I need your advice. One of my students (10 years old) just informed me that his family is moving to Oregon next week. I want to give him something as a send off as he has been a terrific...

How important is tactile sensitivity in actual combat?

Or if you don't want to deal with mounted flexible arms or rubber tubing, you could just find a friend and train them up fairly quickly. If they don't want to do it, offer them lunch or something. ...

:p (snort) (guffaw)

I've been involved in the Foshan Yong Chun in Eddie's school since the early 90's through Eric Hoshiko.

About a year back one of my friends showed me some DVD's he had ordered from China on the...
