Sifu initially answers a question that a student asked about why/how our Wing Chun is different. He then goes on to discuss how to keep students engaged. Part of this is by addressing aspects of each individual that we want to develop: resilience, durability, intelligence, composure and strategy and tactics.

We then look at the first part of the advanced Bil Gee form.

Dear Instructors,

It has been a while since we have posted any content for you. We are looking at making this now a weekly occurance. The videos will not be edited! They are rough and ready to go. But if you’re a coach, it’s the content – not the gloss – that you’re after.

So without any further explaination, here are the 3 theme variations/class structures that we ran with this week. Two Wing Chun classes (Wooden Dummy derived techniques and a multi layered Trapping Hands sequence, with striking drills for both classes) and one Boxing class (looking at our original long set – an 11 stage boxing drill – and our new even longer set – a 20+ stage boxing drill).

You can run the classes as they have been planned, but there is enough information in there that with a little imagination you could get 2-3 classes out of each.

Looking forward to your feedback.

Wing Chun – Set 5 Class

Boxing – Long Set Class

Wing Chun – Trapping Hands Class

 

In this month’s Instructors Only mat chat Sifu Rick Spain discusses the importance of class structure – for you and your students.

Remeber to send us any questions on the grading material you have!!

This week it’s all neck attacks! Attacking the neck is a very important skill to understand and integrate into your standup game, your clinch game and your grappling game.
