Greetings to all;
I am an American, but have been living in Turkey for the past 3 years. As there are no Wİng Chun schools anywhere near me, I have been studying on my own for about 2 months. I have gotten books and have studied many videos and texts. By researching and using my best judgement based on the resources available, I have taught myself Siu Lim Tao and practice it every day. I have been following ''Wİng Tsun Kuen'' by Grandmaster Leung Tİng and ''Wİng Chun'' by Grandmaster Ip Chun and Michael Tse for proper forms. I've also been watching videos of Ip Man, Ip Chun and Sam Kwok demonstrating Siu Lim Tao. As I don't have a teacher, I am confused about what else I should be learning as a beginner. Can anyone recommend any additional resources or give advice about what drills I should be doing along with practicing Siu Lim Tao? A breakdown of a syllabus, maybe? I am doing punching drills, but I feel there must be more I can practice on my own. Though I understand it's essential to have a true Sifu, I'm trying to learn as much as I can until I can find one. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you
