A quick Mat Chat regarding the new grading curriculum being implemented this year and a welcome back message from Sifu Rick Spain.
This video includes a discussion on what has influenced our knife fighting curriculum, the Sil Lum Tao form, then Wooden Dummy to set 6 and Baton revision including the 15 angles of attack and box defence.
PS: For those unaware while side kicks in set 4 are demonstrated as low kicks, they are in fact meant to be mid-section side kicks. Sifu’s hip injury is currently preventing him from kicking that high.
Plus a pretty decent workout to start. Give yourself an hour for this one.
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
This lesson is about creating angles. Lomachenko does this beautifully and we can draw a lot of parallels with his boxing style to our Wing Chun. Also up for discussion are some thoughts inspired by Marcus Aurelius. You will need a kettle bell, hand weights and a belt. Allow one hour for this video.
Live Stream from Wednesday (September 9th 2020) night’s class. Allow 1 hour. If you have a partner you’ll need focus mits and if you have them, either Thai pads or a kick shield. If you don’t have a partner use a heavy bag, or wrist and ankle weights and shadow box the drills.
You will need hand weights and ideally a moderately weighted kettle bell or medicine ball.
Live streamed class from Saturday 18th July, working on your round kick and simultaneous block/striking variations. Allow one hour for this class.
