HFY Chi Sao Seminar 2nd thru 4th March 2012 Phoenix, Arizona

[MarkJ]

The World Hung Fa Yi Wing Chun Kung Fu Association (世界红花义詠春拳总会) announces a public Seminar in Phoenix, Arizona on March 3rd 2012

Fresh from his recent visit to Hong Kong and China Grand Master Garrett Gee (朱競雄师傅) will be heading to Arizona at the beginning of March to present a third public workshop showcasing the Hung Fa Yi Wing Chun Chi Sao methods.

Also included will be a bonus session exploring the Hung Fa Yi “5 Tan Sao Bai Jong Faat” and how to understand Time, Space and Energy as expressed in the “hardware” and “software” of the HFY family’s Siu Nim Tau / Siu Lin Tau training format. The “5 Tan Sau Bai Jong Faat” is a direct reference to HFY Wing Chun ancestor Tan Sau Ng and explores how the whole system can be expressed through the use of five Tan Sau which are contained within the Siu Nim Tau form. If you haven’t yet had a chance to see the HFY SNT form it can still be viewed from the following link: http://hfy108.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3241

GM Gee’s trip to China proved to be very productive and during his stay he continued to build bridges with many members of the Wing Chun community both in Hong Kong and the mainland. One of the more easily recognizable names GM Gee met with on this particular trip was Sifu Sergio Iadarola of the IWKA, reportedly they shared a very pleasant discussion on many Wing Chun related topics.

This workshop will also be notable as being the first visit by GM Gee to the Hung Fa Kwoon of Arizona’s brand new Tempe location and will serve as the official re-opening event. The students, families and friends of the school have been working hard at putting in the finishing touches to the build out and we are all looking forward to hosting GM Gee for this event. Sifu Richard Loewenhagen will also be in attendance and can be expected to answer questions about his latest article “A peek inside the 19th century Hung Gun Wui Boxer society” which is in the current March/April issue of Kung Fu Tai Chi magazine.

The public workshop is open to all martial artists regardless of lineage or styles. Anyone interested in attending please contact the World Hung Fa Yi Wing Chun Association Headquarters or the Southwest Regional Headquarters to pre-register. A more detailed breakdown of the weekends schedule will follow shortly.
