you can make up combinations of wing chun movements and then repeat the pattern. its sort of like tae bo but with wing chun moves. punch, punch, thrust kick and do that 25 times then do the other...

run (sometimes, i hate running)

weight lifting

I definately think footwork is over looked a lot. Having good footwork is the most important aspect of defence, its not the hands. If you aren't their how can they hit you?

I think it is...

my sifu mentioned that he had read some articles quite a while ago (80's? early 90's?) about coiling (snake?)(style?) wing chun.

The only evolution I see for wing chun is in adapting it to deal with kinds of fighters our wing chun ancectors never had to face. For example boxers with very light mobile footwork with good...

I just had an awsome experience. I got to spar a tae kwon do/shotokan karate guy and a kempo karate guy. I haven't got to spar people from other styles outside of tournaments that offten,...

good luck up there. If you were there last year I probably saw you. I won't be going, too much $$. plus I'm at college now. I've had my fill of that tournament though, I've gone the past 4 or 5...

I don't know these terms, could you give their definition. Thanks a lot. peace.

I think my approach to wing chun is a little different from other people's, i think its a little softer, or at least our focus is different. so what i say may sound very off the wall to some people...
