Sorry for the interruption!
See you on the mat.

We have had several requests regarding the presentation of forms. Understandably, for some people it is quite difficult to follow on with forms when the person leading is facing you, so we’ve flipped the image so that you can follow on as if you are looking in a mirror.
This is yesterday’s news release but flipped!
To assist with learning, tomorrow we will realease the flipped version of this class.
For the most part, filming yourself for your grading is pretty simple, but when the techniques require more movement and you’re demonstrating forms it’s pretty easy to get out of shot. If you have someone to shoot for you then you’re fine, but a lot of you are solo training so may not always have a partner to train with, let alone hold a camera for you.
We decided to try PIVO for you. If you’ve seen the ads, it’s tracking capabilities look pretty impressive, and could be a great solution for you.
Now, we are not techies, so don’t expect this review to be too sophisticated!
Overall, it is actually pretty good, there’s potential there. The functioning of the PIVO mount itself is great, the technology in regards to the performance of the app though needs some improvement, but it’s certainly a great starting point and a good alternative if you don’t have a camera man.
The video below is footage from one of our live feeds, it’s raw footage with minimal editing. You can see that PIVO is sometimes indecisive as to who to track. There are two main tracking options: 1, action tracking; and 2, face tracking. We used face tracking for this vid. But as you can see, when it’s just tracking one person, it moves quite well – which will be a most likely scenario for you.
You can see by the end of the video (which was actually past the 45min mark real-time) the recording starts to get a bit choppy (my phone/app storage was running low), but most of your grading videos should be under the 15min mark so wouldn’t be an issue.
So, while they’ve got some work to do with improving the app functionality, it could really free you up from feeling limited in how you move around in your space when you’re filming solo for your grading assessments.

Awesome workout this morning, we had 20 of you legends with us! Had a chat too about why we chose Wing Chun/this Wing Chun.
Lunch class today is a super revision of this week’s training.
Next class is tomorrow at 10am Sydney time.
There is currently a bit of a disconnect between what we are doing via livestream and what we are releasing on the Uni. If you are missing out on the livestreams because you are not on Facebook, don’t worry, you will be getting them soon! In the meantime, here’s a workout of the week to keep you moving.
See you on the mat!
