All Welcome

Thursday's training is a compilation on what we have learned and practised on our Monday nights training with our instructor. Its open to all levels of students beginners (minimum age 14) to advanced. In a friendly relaxed atmosphere. No previous experience required and no specific clothing necessary.

We are there to share our knowledge and Widen and improve - sharing our experiences, ideas

explanations to help each other out on the path of Wing Chun.

On Thursday's we practice the

1st form (Siu Lim Tao)

2nd form (Chum Kiu)

3rd form (Bil Jee)

Chi Sao (Sticky Hands)

Wooden Dummy ( Muk Yan Jong )

6 1/2 Pole (Luk Dim Boon Kwan)

After the 1st form, students move on to Chum Kiu, which teaches students how to move and use their stance in a fighting situation. The third form is taught last, and teaches emergency techniques.

As well as the forms, we practice techniques with a partner, we also cover common street scenarios and how to deal with different situations. For instance, someone grabbing you in the street, or an assailant with a knife. Even if someone only picks up a small amount of knowledge, it could be just enough to defend them in the street.

As well as pair work, we practice 'Chi Sao' which translates as double sticking hands. Because Wing Chun is practised at such point blank range, sparring can be dangerous. Chi sao is practised in the wing chun system to develop sensitivity and reflexes and later leads to sparring, and essentially teaches you how to fight, adapt to a situation and how take control of an opponent. Chi sao develops extreme sensitivity in the arms, and later is practised blind folded.
