Great training session today, 6 Aug 2011, going over the Muk Yang Jong (Wooden Dummy) the correct way! There are many videos out there that are missing critical moves to the art. Practice as much as possible so you don’t forget what I showed you today, especially the new additions you have not otherwise been privy to. If you left with a deeper enlightment to wing chun, then it was a very good day! I appreciate everyone invited showing up for this special session. I’m not going to be around forever and is important to pass on the lineage but only to those that are worthy of this sacred knowledge.

“WING CHUN IN HOLT, FLORIDA – SHADOWHAND”
What a Great weekend! Thank you to all who attended! We covered a lot of material and your open minded reception to it will raise your understanding of SHADOWHAND WING CHUN to a much higher level!
A Big Thank You goes out to Bobby for his hospitality and the use of his home in Holt! Thank you to all who attended and taking the time to train. We had some old students attend, some older than others! John Swales has been a student and friend of mine since 1990! This is a prelude to the “December Seminar and Retreat”. So if you enjoyed yourself and want to learn more in-depth concepts, make plans on attending!
Best in Shadowhand

SiFu,
Thank you for another great seminar. It was nice training with everyone. I learned a lot of new material while fine tuning what I have learned up to this point. I greatly appreciate you and Bobby working with me on Sunday. I took a lot of great notes which will be a big help after leave. I cannot wait until the December seminar. It will be a great time. -Adam Rose
SiFu,
Thank you for your generosity and patience in teaching us this advanced material this weekend. It was a great seminar and there is always something to be learned. Even when you review a concept I see it renewed much more enhanced than when covered before. This wing chun training and learning will never end. It was great to work with an older seasoned student and kudos to your proven methodology of instruction when he justifies that militant training self defense tactics recently involved in can’t touch this. -Daniel Lopez

SiFu: the ‘Mayhem’ seminar was outstanding! As was the amazing weekend! As usual, your unique way of interpreting and passing on the Wing Chun system knows no bounds. Looking forward to the next one!
Thank you very much for all that you do!!! ~ Justin
SiFu Doc, Thanks for sharing your knowledge of Wing Chun and coming up with drills to help us understand the principles and application of Wing Chun. ~ Bobby
SiFu: Thank you for sharing your knowledge of knife fighting! The whole seminar was filled with great content, the opportunity to practice continually to hone our skills, as well as gain invaluable insight into critical areas of the techniques while under your direction. I found the pre-drill training session to be the best part as it provided awareness within the most intricate areas of dynamic movement that I was lacking proper position, angle, and pressure. Getting this down will not only enhance our understanding of the drills you provided but will help in our ability to handle any other situation that presents itself. This seminar was awesome and am grateful to have been a part of it. I look forward to the next one! ~ Daniel

“Thanks to one and all for attending the first of several Mini Seminars!
Your commitment to learning the advanced techniques of this
Highly effective martial art is commendable!
It wasn’t easy, but, you came thru it with flying colors!
Practice what you learned everyday. Go over your notes everyday until you begain to see the value of this training!
Remember: Time in the Art makes you better! Ask questions don’t wait for someone else to ask. Be a leader not a follower!
Thank you again and I look forward to seeing you at the next Mini Seminar !
Yours in Shadowhand Wing Chun”

“Great seminar SiFu! Having done Taekwondo for so long, there was really no emphasis on defensive techniques. The main focus was on the sport/competition side of the art. What techniques we did learn normally ended with kicking to the head, so speed was important. In my two years of training in Shadowhand, I have learned no matter the attack or how fast if you have the proper position, angle, pressure and timing you will be able to defend yourself.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It is an eye opener.
Looking forward to the next Mini seminar.”
Adam Rose
Thanks Sifu – This Kicking seminar was a great one! It is amazing how with so much effort on the part of the opponent to destroy you it is possible to move minimally to simulateously attack and defend. Like that movie Zorro you are training us get to the small circle (least amount of movement) – I love it!
…and it ties into your highlighted quote:
“In the pursuit of learning one knows more and more each day; in the pursuit of the way one does less each day. One does less and less until one does nothing at all, and when one does nothing at all there is nothing that is undone.” Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
