25.01.2022 To all our students, past and present, families,friends and followers, we wish you all a Safe and Merry Christmas. Ian and Kath.

25.01.2022 What you cant push away, you must learn to accept and redirect.

24.01.2022 Do not take risks and you will always connect to the target.

24.01.2022 We would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and take this opportunity to let you all know that the club wont be reopening next year, due to a number of reasons I need to channel my energies elsewhere . Sifu.

23.01.2022 Like most things in life, you get out of it what you put in. But aside from natural ability, while you spend month upon month, year upon year training, if you stop, the decline in your precision and ability in quite a short time, can be dramatic. Thats ok if you dont want to train but if you dont want to lose what youve learned , you must have a maintenance program.

22.01.2022 Just a general reminder, that there are no classes Melbourne cup day, Nov 7th.

21.01.2022 As far back as I can remember in my Martial art journey there has always been someone who trains for the wrong reasons. People who seem very nice in class but like to go out on the weekends and pick fights. Thankfully they seem to be few and far between, but Instructors should be wary when students are turning up with bruising or cuts on a regular basis. On all occasions, my Instructors at the time, took the offenders Belts/Sashes off them and said goodbye dont come back. Martial arts should always be about the art, self growth and respect of yourself and others.

19.01.2022 Everyone starts their Martial art journey with dreams of being amongst the higher levels or running their own Kwoon/Dojo. In real life only a relative few will get thru. Some will see it as a chance to create employment and make some money, some will see it as a chance to enhance their own reputation and probably still make some money. But when a person walks in for their first lesson and expresses a desire for you to teach them, what the Teacher should be offering is " I will be here for you till your final grade" because as a Instructor you never know who it will be so you have apply that willingness to everyone.

19.01.2022 Remember some shadow boxing with your techniques will be beneficial along with doing your Dummy forms, for those that are up to it.

19.01.2022 Seven days to the first class of 2018, hope everyone is well rested. Ive enjoyed my break but looking forward to getting back and getting you all moving forward again. Please check your Members card to see if your renewal is due, and if your not intending to come back, please let me know. Si-fu

19.01.2022 I hope everyone,s New year has started well, and I certainly hope youve had a good rest. Fortunately your rest time is over, you should have begun stretching , drills and forms by now, It only takes a few months for things to be forgotten or slightly altered. Eventually things will settle and I will be able to take a small group at home. Just a reminder that I am doing private lessons, as I have had only one student take advantage of this, just in case the message was missed. Si-Fu

17.01.2022 Clearly, I dont post regularly! I feel no need to write something just for the sake of it. There are many posts of people showing how good they are and this is how you should do things, sometimes they have merit and others, none what so ever. Wing Chun is a highly effective system, but not perfect, one of its greatest strengths is also in my opinion one of its greatest weaknesses. This is due more to us mere humans doing it, none of us are perfect. So when training leave your ego at the Kwoon door and be adaptive. Sometimes a lower sash will show you how easy it is to get hit. Si-fu.

14.01.2022 Strike any presented posture if it is there, otherwise strike where you see motion.

14.01.2022 Take time tomorrow to remember the courage, bravery and the sacrifices made by so many young Men and Women.

13.01.2022 The importance of cameras, I just found photos and footage I had taken from over a decade ago. While I always see the journey of my students often i forget about my own. Wow! how i have changed and not just the extra grey in the hair. The change is always present but without my students I doubt it would have been as dramatic. So a big thank you to all my students for helping me grow. Si-fu

13.01.2022 There is Wing Chun , but within Wing chun there are many different styles. All with their strengths and weaknesses. I want to talk about one thing today, its a little thing called 45 degrees. It exists in your structure through your feet, legs, arms and direction. It should be present in at least anyone of these places at any given time. It will help to defend against attack while allowing to attack through defence. It may sound simple but most people need to overcome the need to go head to head with an opponent. Good Control comes from constant practice.

13.01.2022 Happy new year to everyone hoping it is a safe and prosperous one for all

12.01.2022 First time they have all looked relaxed all year!! Have a Merry Christmas everyone.

10.01.2022 The last class for the year will be the 14th of Dec and we will resume next year on the 23rd of January.

09.01.2022 No Class Tonight 16/8

09.01.2022 Forward energy, what is it , why do you need it and how much do I need? Obviously this differs for everyone, but too much forward energy is as bad as not enough. Forward energy within your structure seeks to close the distance to an incoming attack, by finding the attack early it relays the strength of the attack back to you so you can decide what footwork to apply and what blocks or strikes to apply, all of this happens quickly so training this will be frustrating.Your structure should not be rigid nor should it be too relaxed. For me it is one of the components of Wing Chun that can take the longest to properly understand.

08.01.2022 The basis of most martial arts is the stance/footwork. Within Wingchun it is one of the foundations that support it. So when applying a technique that should work ,and doesnt always check your Structure and whether or not you are applying the right footwork.

07.01.2022 Our Wing Chun journey begins again tonight, looking forward to seeing you all, and if you have been thinking about learning Wing Chun then dont put off to tomorrow what you can do today.

06.01.2022 Better late than never, sorry guys!!

06.01.2022 As a general rule of thumb, when practicing techniques new or old, if you cant do it slow your probably not doing it right at speed . And even at slow speed the attack must still mimic a full strike otherwise you will never discover the correct positioning or the confidence to make the technique work under pressure.

06.01.2022 Just a general reminder that there is no class this Tuesday 17/4

05.01.2022 If you assume you know what your opponent will do , then your first assumption should be Im going to get something wrong.

05.01.2022 When sparring or in conflict, remember to breathe and relax you will strike quicker and harder.

04.01.2022 I hope everyone,s New year has started well, and I certainly hope you've had a good rest. Fortunately your rest time is over, you should have begun stretching , drills and forms by now, It only takes a few months for things to be forgotten or slightly altered. Eventually things will settle and I will be able to take a small group at home. Just a reminder that I am doing private lessons, as I have had only one student take advantage of this, just in case the message was missed. Si-Fu

04.01.2022 Time to start stretching , then the forms, three weeks to class!

03.01.2022 Always check the Basics, its what everything grows from.

03.01.2022 Do not collide with a strong opponent, with a weak opponent use direct frontal assault.

03.01.2022 Normally there are no classes on Public Holidays, However there will be a class this Tuesday/Anzac day, see you all there.

01.01.2022 No class tomorrow 4th Sept due to illness , Thursday should be ok Si-fuNo class tomorrow 4th Sept due to illness , Thursday should be ok Si-fu
