Sifu Gary Lam seminar in the UK Sept 9 & 10th/ 06.

[Ernie]

Hey guys and gals ,
just got sent the details so here you go


---Ernie:

The seminar is to be conducted on the 9th and 10th of September (I will leave it up to sifu Lam to decide on the start time and duration of the daily seminar)

The event will be held in a town (MALVERN) close to the 2nd largest city in the UK, which is Birmingham. This place was chosen for it low price and its ease of commuting (central of England) for people all over the UK, and its beauty. Also, that's the only place where I could organise the restaurant that would provide a mini banquet to the participants at such a low price.

The price is 140euros as requested by Andy.
The topic of the seminar is entirely up to sifu Lam, but I was hoping he could cover chisau applications and maybe cham kil or\and the wooden dummy
At the end of the day, Ernie, it's sifu Lam's show. How he chooses to run it is entirely up to him; I'm just the frontman.

I can be contacted on the following numbers: 01684 891918 or 07836 600832

Don't hesitate to contact me if you need any further info big guy

ok everyone listen up!

go to this seminar. trust me, do it.

I dunno how to say this without sounding like a cult member but gary lams wing chun and more importantly his students wing chun is very very good. i had a little experience with some of them and their ability even for students with only a year or two training was amazing. Ive bumped into a few different wing chun types from time to time and never been impressed until meeting them and getting fed humble pie...

also one other thing ive learned is theres nothing like getting a hands on feel to understand different approaches. you can talk on here till your blue in the face about anything, tan sao this, body structure that, power, footwork etc etc but until you actually feel it theres no real way to understand. so if your not from WSL wing chun or never seen it before or if your stuck in a rut never been outside before this is the big one.

paulH will know big time what i mean by this i remember him "turning intent on" or off like a switch, also "lat sau energy". sure talk about it yeah i know what that is.... nope you dont till you feel it

anyway even 5 minutes with these guys and youll come away with a better understanding of even the basics to put straight to work in your own wing chun.

you never know you might leave thinking yeah im better than those guys,, and thats all good but i doubt it

also, sifu lam has the syllabus clearly laid out and a simple progression through chi sao etc, REAL fighting experience, very very few people ever fight thais, and one hell of a funny sense of humor.

see yall there

Hey Jon,

Just browsing this forum for any unusual subversive activities, and there I saw my name popping up again.

Just want to say that I enjoyed tremendously you and James taking your time to visit us the last time. Your WC enthusiasm cheered everyone up here. You guys are just the right perfect kind of crazy English gentlemen that my Dad always warmed me about! It's really too bad that I'm not rich and free like Sigung Ernie so I can tag along with Sifu to meet other fun, eccentric and interesting folks across the ocean, but I'm sure Kevin Bell and you will give the latest scoop in this exciting event in September.

Your crazy American Cousin,

Paul

I'll have to arrange for some Ninja's to go to that pub and start up some trouble, and get some action on tape, lol

I jealous guys, really....I just have to win the lottery now to get over there.

Like Jon said, I also recommend anyone and everyone to make the effort to experience Sifu Lam. Besides his high level skills in fighting and Wing Chun, he's a fun guy to be around...there's a ton of laughs and ton's of information he will share if you ask the right questions...

Nick if i do make it out there save some time to go over some ground stuff with me and we can toss a few Kali drills back and forth !

that's ''IF'' i make it

[Nick Forrer]

That'd be cool if you could make it over...would be nice to finally meet you.....more than happy to show you the little bits and pieces ive picked up re: the ground. Hopefully we might get to do some wing chun too!

[Self]

Grrr... I can't make that one which is too bad because I haven't been beat in a good while. Someone say hello to Gary for me.

[Ernie]

would love to say hi to gary for you
ummmm but who are you
;-)

[Self]

I am not sure I understand your question but will answer in this way. I don't personally know Gary but have always wanted to get to his seminars, though they always seem to pop up at the most inconvenient time for me. I have worked with students of Wong Shun Leung and Kenneth Chung out of San Francisco and have yet to meet Gary. I met Ken's guys at a seminar hosted by my Sifu, Eddie Chong, in Sacramento and they said nothing but good things about him so I wanted someone to send my regards that's all. I hope I cleared up some confusion for your benefit.
