A big congrats to Augustine Fong for his award!
A big congrats to Sifu Fong!
That's sad news. I remember him writing a nice article for Wing Chun Magazine when his sifu died.
We focus on the lower dan tien a great deal in our Wing Chun practice including the breathing, balance as well as the knee/hip/elbow connections. Our practice follows a very internal, Taoist approach...
Thanks Phil. I was trying to convince someone to get a jong last night but he was saying how difficult it would be because he lives in an apartment. Hopefully this will work for him.
Here is the event page on Facebook where people have RSVP'ed that they are "attending" International Wing Chun day. "Attending" simply means that they will be honoring the day locally in their...
You're right, Spencer. There was about 1100 people who joined in support through Facebook last year. Teaming up with a charity is a good idea.
Last year, our group had a demo in the local park. My students demonstrated some drills, blindfolded sparring and brought a wooden dummy to show the form. To get the word out, we got small posters...
The 4th of July was known as Ving Tsun Day due to the founding of the Ving Tsun Athletic Association on this day in 1967. However, up until 2010, there was no International Wing Chun Day for all...
On Saturday, March 19th, International Wing Chun Day educates millions worldwide about Wing Chun's benefits and raises awareness about local classes. It promotes the art of Wing Chun in all its...
Good to hear, Spencer. Our pole training mechanics are almost exactly like the gaun sau as well as our pulling/grabbing hand. We train the pole to develop the shocking power and structure for both.
I think the Hong Jong can be useful for those that don't have a dummy to practice. It can also help you visualize different possibilities for applications. I'd agree that practicing it can help...
For anyone in the area, come celebrate our 6 month anniversary of opening The Dragon Institute... Orange County's 1st Wing Chun Kung Fu educational facility (pictures).
The event is this Sat from...
My guess is the latter as well.
Hey Sifu Chu,
In thinking of what really happened, have you found any historical evidence of how Yip Man's Wing Chun changed after studying he studied with Leung Bik?
Good jiu ying and constant probing with man sao. :)
Saw this movie a couple weeks ago, didn't have high hopes for it initially, but really liked it. It's too bad Ip Man came out before this one. A few of my students liked this one better than the...
This is a separate publication than Wing Chun Magazine (formerly Wing Chun Teahouse). I'm exciting about it. Hope it isn't too expensive for print editions.
Congratulations!
Both of these sound like great advice.
Building bridges and helping is the only way to show true respect to our art, our individual lineages and ourselves.
Horrible advice. This would only show your lack of character. Be content in yourself and your own worth. You have nothing to prove to anyone.
Totally agreed.
If this were the case, why have the forms at all? Why practice chi sao at all?
I agree with you that there is no substitute for sparring. However, sparring alone is not enough. Practicing forms, chi sao and other "self-perfecting" isolated drills can have a dramatic impact on...
What is incorrect is judging something you have no idea about... yet then trying to pretend that you have done it as it is presented here.
