continue learning Wing Chun Kung Fu
歲月不留人 (age and time wait for no man) 4 years ago

I need to restart and maintain learning my Wing Chun Kuen… I have not trained in a couple of years (about 4) and it was such a part of my life before I moved to England that I really miss it even now.. Hopefully when I move to the USA I can continue learning the same branch.

I was training under Sifu Bruce Corles under William Cheungs lineage, and I had got up to starting to learn Bui Jee.. I had learnt up to about ‘60’ on the dummy, and had down sui nim tao, baart jam dao, chum kui, etc and was just starting to get into the advanced stuff of bui jee and lok dim boon gwun and mook jong..

Oh how I miss it… 以攻為守 (attack, dont defend!)

Yep

aah sweet. I did all my training in oakleigh. I miss sifus annual tournaments and the end of year dinner and such.

I didnt find it hard/tricky, just damn cool. All the intracacies and nuances.

I still have the two signed editions of My Life with Wing Chun (the red one and the rainbow one).. heck I think all my stuff is signed by William.

I did hate the politics. There was a lot of politics going on down in Melbourne….

Politics Schmolitics

Sifu Dana Wong set up his own school now which is going really well. I am glad to say there are no politics or big egos at Sifu’s school so if you are back in melbourne sometime check it out www.qianlidao.com

Hi mate,
Just saw your thread whilst browsing for some dummies. Where are you at the moment? It is not clear to me (England…?) I live in London and I stopped WC at the same level 9 years ago (used to train in france with Sifu Didier Beddar, Bruce knows him very well and Bruce came once to Paris for a seminar). I am back on track, this time learning Eskrima but WC is something that I will never let go off so if you’re in England pls let me know (meeralex@mageos.com)
take care
Alex

Ive moved from London to Virginia USA now. Sifu Bruce spoke alot about Sifu Didier. I remember when he went to France for a while. Sorry I am not in London anymore to get together. :/ I have always found the Escrima / WC similarities quite interesting.. (There is no WC anywhere near where I live…. might look Escrima up down here.. Thanks)

hello i have trained in wing chun and escrima.
hello bloody cactus, i trained in oakleigh aswell. and remember you i was partnered up with you many times.I had fun in the tournaments.
it is amazing the things you learn and can apply to life in general.
like not being over confident. learning by mistakes/failures.
