To all in AZ,
I'm sorry that I can't make it to this get together. I was able to attend the last one and had a great time, and some great BBQ. I wish you all the best.

Sihing73,
Thanks for your informative answer posted on 5-19 regarding improving the stance. It was very informative for all of us WT'ers.

Mossman,
One exercise that has help me is to do the rolling arm movements in the mirror (solo). When you do this concentrate on relaxing the sholders, keeping the sholders down, and retaining your...
Good luck in any and all of your future endevors. Your input will be missed.
KJ,
Thanks for the explanations. I have a feeling that our schools (I'm a WT student) Lat/Lut Sau drills are more alike than not, especially at the higher levels, since Leung Ting's first and...
Here is a school in Toronto. Sifu Lau has a very high skill level of WingTsun and is supposed to be an excellent instructor.

Yuanfen,
Thanks for sharing some of the highlights of the book with us. If you run across other important tidbits of information, please continue sharing them. It sounds like a really good book....
KJ,
Could you explain the Lat Sau training that your school does and how your school uses it? I agree with your expaination of Chi Sau and your description of the skills learned from it. It was...
Because Lat Sau and Chi Sau are both drills meant to teach different things, I would say they are both important and are valuable training tools. Both of these can be restricted to certain movements...

If the tension is a natual tension (brought about by position not by flexing muscles) then it is not a bad thing. And, it can add a natural strength to the movement. This...
Whiplash - Thanks for the info.
Yuanfen - I hadn't heard that other tribes also contributed important historical occurances to twins. But, it makes sense. Another one that comes to mind is Remus and Romulas. I'm not sure that I...
Yuanfen says - " There were earlier American Indian

Sorry I don't know of anyone practicing Wing Chun in Tulsa. Good luck finding a school or someone to practice with.

Funny you should mention Nacogdoches. That's were I...
Yuanfen,
I thought I'd get a response from you. Hope you had a good birthday. Yes, I am a displaced Texan, but I also lived in Tulsa (graduated from Tulsa Memorial High). My Mom still lives in...

IronMonk,
Thanks for the clip. I haven't seen that one before. A great explaination of the fundamentals of punching. Even though the clip stops at the sholder joint with joint connection theory....
