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.
You only need 45mins for this one!
Hi Wing Chun Renegades!
Set aside an hour, warm up with a good stretch and get stuck into this class. Livestreamed on Wednesday morning 1st April, this class starts with forms, moves on to kicking flow drills, solo chi sau training and finishes off with a Tabata.
Tuesday morning’s True Boxing Livestream.
Working up to the full 8 count, buit-in defence, footwork, 8 punch pad drill with footwork and head movement; tactical defence – back step pak sau, open cut, pat the jab, draw the jab, overhand right counter; slip right cross, 7 counter. Push-up shoulder tap, weightless rows, back lunge opp knee raise, single leg dead bugs, stretching.
You’ll need to set aside just over a full hour for this one!
Set some time aside for yourself and invest in a workout.

Our second and last training session in Alexandria Park before compelte lockdown!
Train hard, see you on the mat.
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.

PIVO shooting behind the scenes of our live stream on 4th April 2020:
We managed to get two park sessions in before the full lockdown in Sydney. We were limited to 10 participants including the instructor. This was livestreamed on Facebook on Friday 27th April. If you’ve been missing out on our livestreams, they’ve all been recorded and will be getting uploaded to RedBoatUniversity.com
For non-Facebook subscribers, Zoom training is coming! Please be advised that classes are in Sydney time. All Wing Chun Renegade subscribers and above are eligible to join!
