Apologises everyone. I haven’t written in awhile! I will continue to write/expand this post this weekend as i recollect what we have been covering the last 4 weeks.

Here is what we have been practising the past 4 weeks:

Juen Ma (Turning Stance)

Focus on my balance

Ving Tsun Kicks (Variety of these)

Sparring – With attention on deflecting/blocking low strikes.

Correct and Bong Sau and Incorrect Bong Sau. The latter refers to doing the bong sau with the wrong arm and how to recover from the compromised positioning.

• Body Language / Respond opposite to what the opponent is saying. Touch chin/hold waist ; keep those arms up. Keep knees bent

• Have lower back straight; this in turn tightens the core muscles; also keep those crunched too.

• Appropriate level of force. Use palm strikes/pushes at first; use punches if the fight continues to escalate.

• Don’t cross arms or legs during confrontation as they can take advantage of that.

So far i have done 13 hours of sessions learning Ving Tsun from my new Sifu this year. I have not trained in Ving Tsun for years.

The 1st and 2nd Section of Siu Nim Tao from my Sifu in our system.

• Bong Sau (Block)
• Laan Sau (Pins their arm down)
• Tan Sau (Dissipates/Blocks their force)
• Bik Sau (Upper block)
• Wu Sau (Mid to high blocking technique)
• Man Sau (Ready positioning of the hands)
• Gan Sau (Lower Block)
• Lap Sau (Block turned into a grab on their wrist/forearm)
• Fook Sau
• Jut Sau

1st section of the Mook Yan Chong.

I will add more to this post in the coming days…
