Wing Chun/Tsun. Any PH Students...?
Discussion
If you enjoy Wing Chun try out some philipino arts like Kali and Eskrima. V,similar use of tactility, balance trapping and destruction but you get to play with sticks, knifes staffs etc.
Wing Chun was where Bruce Lee started till he got fed up and became more direct hence Jeet KunDo.
All good fun though.

Glad you're enjoying it. Where are you based?
I started Wing Chun in 2001 with Kamon. Guildford and Woking are my 2 nearest centres, but they have loads of others.

As well as wingchundave, Shadowninja knows a thing or two.
Unfortunately I've not been to class for about 5 months, due to various Tuesday and Thursday night restraints. Hope to be able to get back into the groove again later in the summer to get my chi sau nice and fluid.

Got to say that Wing Chun is still the most enjoyable martial art I have ever studied even though I don't practice it anymore (too many injuries from other styles and serious illness put an end to it).
Fighting full out, blindfolded on a 2m diameter table is quite an experience and still one of my favourite tricks.
You do get to play with a variety of offensive weaponry (all traditional stuff) when deemed good enough (I never was) but that is not the point of the style.

I started with Mr Chan myself a good few years ago.

I'm in Bristol wth Kamon also. I'm just enjoying the challenge of learning something new. Had my grading the other week and Sifu Chan came down and did a demo. Jeez, you wouldn't want to piss that man off...!

People always seem to think you're either lying or talking crazy when you tell them you can fight blindfold. There's not a lot that can beat it. I looked at a few different martial arts before starting Wing Chun and I have a lot of friends that teach different styles as well. I have to say I think I made the right decision and I try to encourage as many people as I can to participate.

I still remember my first lesson where he picked me to demonstrate the benefits of a basic guard! Pants browning time! I was just standing there thinking "damn, I'm getting hit by a genuine master!". Amazing guy to train with and to see in action. I'd recommend anyone to go along and watch one of his demos.

Kali is very similar. Uses a lot of open hand before you get onto using the knife and sticks. Escrima is amazing too! One of my Jujuitsu mates teaches Kali. I'll have to drag myself down to one of his lessons.
I used to train under Sifu Rawcliffe in Birmingham before I moved to the SE and really loved it. It's a fascinating system. Work has really taken over since I moved down here, so I've not done much apart from get fat. Would love to meet up with you guys to talk shop so to speak and hopefully find a school where I can start again.
Cheers,
Steve

Shaun Rawcliffe? He's a legend! A mate of mine trained with him at a seminar. Said he was seriously sharp. I've got books by Yip Chun with pictures of him.
Where in the SE are you?
I could talk Wing Chun for days! I hope you've all realised what you've done!
I train with Sifu Tam Yiu Ming, who is a student of Leung Ting. I did it for a while but then moved to Newcastle. Recently started it again and am loving it! Would love to meet up with any other Wing Tjun practicioners in the SE. My little bro has been doing it for longer than me.
Drop me a mail if anybody's interested in meeting up.
