I've heard of a few different things but not sure what would be the best? I'm still a beginner with just 1 year experience and this will be on my...
hmm.. perhaps I've been going about this the wrong way? With my current sifu, he doesn't let us train with the wooden dummy or long pole until...
I've been in Wing Chun for 1 year and I'm now 6'7" tall... although I was already this tall to begin with. Isn't height just in the genes?
Thanks for the reply, Joy. Yes, I agree the key is doing the movements correctly with the proper balance but I thought for the conditioning...
Yes, I do the wrist curl things with my bowflex but never tried a figure 8 motion. I'll give it a shot. Do you know if there's an actual weight...
Wow! Those are great suggestions on forearm conditioning. I don't have free weights or a pullup bar though. Just a bowflex. lol For the long...
I'd like to get a long pole (8 foot long, 1 or 2 inches diameter). I'm not going to be doing any forms or drills with it anytime soon so I'll...
Interesting thread. I'm also kinda in a rut here. I've stopped training in mid-Oct and haven't been back yet. I stopped because we were in the...
Thanks for the replies! I'm liking the synthetic leather one since it's quite easy to clean and I can go full out right away. I also like the...
Which material would you go for in a wall bag? This will be for my personal home gym in my garage. For example, here's a synthetic leather one:...
Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah, I'm pretty stoked to finally have the chance of a home gym. I'm looking for some type of flooring but just...
Anyone have a home gym? I'm moving into a new house and will be using a single car garage as a home gym. It's your typical cold cement flooring...
lol I'll make sure I have a phonebook handy. ;-) Bong Lap sounds would be good too, as would the Tan Da (if given a hook punch or something like...
So this is just a fun thread I thought I'd toss here. I had family in town the other day and they heard I'm learning Wing Chun and asked me to...
Thanks. I'll take a look at those shoes. As for just using the shoes I wear everyday, I'm not allowed to be wearing outside shoes in the...
Does anyone know where I can find a good pair of shoes for pivoting/shifting that are larger than size 13 mens? I've looked in the stores in town...
Last class was the first time I used a dragon pole (6 1/2 point pole) before. I'm still a beginner to Ving Tsun. After a pretty intense workout...
I'm a beginner in Ving Tsun (2 months in) and my sifu had us doing station drills. (eg. One person on the punching bag doing punches, pak-sau's,...
Oops! Thanks for the correction.
I signed up for my first month of Wing Chun classes. I do have a good feel about the instructor and the family of guys who train there. I have...
$30 for two 2hr sessions a week? Damn, that's a good deal. Yeah, I guess the only part I don't like is the bloody expensive testing for the...
I am going to try WC for one month because apparently, the student's first month is $80 and if he/she wants to continue, they must commit to a...
Thanks for the great replies. I'm going to stick to just one art for now. I went to a free trial class of Wing Chun the other day. The instructor...
Thanks for the replies guys. They were all helpful. At $80Cdn/mo, I seem to be paying more but I'm also getting more hours per week. There are...
I'm most likely going to start training at a Wing Chun school in town. I'm surprised at the price though. $80/mo (6hrs/week), plus another $25 for...
Thanks Si-Je for the advice. I'll definately go for the Wing Chun free trial, maybe as early as next week. I've heard some people say it's good...
Thanks Nabakatsu. For a while now I've been having a hard time deciding if I should go for Krav Maga or if it should be Wing Chun. I want to be...
Quick question. I've just been looking more into the Wing Chun style of Kung Fu and I'm reading a lot about this being more aimed towards smaller...
After writing my last post, I messed up my back by doing an exercise (probably incorrectly) that I have never done before. Supermans. Heard a...
Thanks for the quick replies! The only down side to the second guy that I can see is the start time. Means I'll have to wait around downtown...
