Stefan,<br><br>No, at present we do not have an
official web site<br>but maybe in the new year.<br><br>As
for the book, I have not read this one but would be
interested in hearing your opinion on it.<br><br>Keep
well,<br><br>Steve.

Hi,<br><br>Ok here is a thread in the making.<br><br>Sil Sao is used at the start of part 3 of Muk Yan Chong.<br><br>An interesting technique when coupled with...
Abstract or not, it teaches the skills that are necessary to move the horse in an effective manner. Finding out how to use those skills in a real situation may...
Siu lim tao, chum kiu, and biu jee may look "abstract" because it is. These forms are unlike the kata of karate or taekwondo where the practioner imagines ...
Great!<br><br>I actually do understand the form as I have been teaching them for more years than I care to remember. What I want is to start some balls rolling...
I suppose that if you assume that to be 'non-abstract' is to have every move directly related to a physical action? Or to 'see' an attack/response relationship...
"a punch really is nothing more than a punch."<br><br>I used to say that to, but when I think about it a Wing Chun Punch is, in my mind, so much more powerful ...
Ok, I see your point, but then again things have a way of going round in circles.<br><br>First, as you say it is difficult. Then you build on it, and then you...
Thank you for the invite. I thought this might be an interesting topic.<br><br>Are the forms, or any one form, or any part of any of the forms - ChiGung/QiGong...
Rick,<br><br>Most of my internal energy stems from training Sil Nim Tao very slowly but with dynamic tension in part 1 of the form. Arguably Chum Kiu and Bil ...
We train Sil Nim Toa while in the front kick position. This is not trained initially but more so when the student has got to grips with the form.<br><br>Does...
Rick,<br>I think that the Siu Nim Tao form is a king of chi kung. The first section is played slowly and serves to build chi, while the second and third ...
Steve,<br>In Moy Yat's family we also train siu nim tao in this fashion. We probably start our students on it earlier, however. We ususally give it to the...
Alan,<br><br>The Forearms also benefit from Heung Sao under tension. This benefits by making the sinews stronger and building longer muscle rather than bulky ...
Alan,<br><br>Yes this is very good. We usually introduce single leg Sil Nim Toa in the gradings before the student is ready to start training Chum Kiu,...
That's interesting - there is a wide variety of ways of doing that early section of first-form.<br><br>I've seen schools teach it very soft, slow and light, ...
Rick,<br><br>We do both hard and soft.<br><br>Part 1 uses hard/tension in forwarding the Tan and Fook Sao into the center line and retracting the Wu/Jum. When...
Yes, that's pretty much the way I learned it.<br><br>I'm originally in the Chris Chan (Chan Shing) lineage. We were taught that the first part was slow and ...
IMHO I think that wing chun is the best martial art. At the moment I am studying WU SHU which is a form of kick boxing it is very good but I would like to...
I cant help but agree with you on that one.<br><br>I have studied the martial arts since the mid 70's and done various styles but stuck wit Wing Chun because...
This is a tricky one. My policy is to stay out of the politics that surround the martial arts.<br><br>Those who teach it as a sole source of income believe ...
One of the reasons I have enjoyed this site since joining, is the commitment to keeping politics out of the mix. I am very happy with my style of Wing Chun,...
