ave you been interested in Wing Chun Kung Fu and not been able to find any in Buffalo NY?

It is here! With 10 years teaching experience I have relocated to Buffalo and am starting a training group. If you are interested contact me, Mark Stoddard at [email protected].

To kick things off, members from the Rochester Wing Chun Student Association and I will have an open class in Buffalo.

It will be on Saturday August 26Th starting at 11:00am until 1:00pm at Hoyt Lake near the Casino in Delaware Park. Stop in and ask questions, observe and even participate. Then enjoy the Elmwood Ave Art Festival and Buffalo Old Home Days events!

Wing Chun is a southern Chinese martial art the focuses on close range striking through using the opponents power against them. It was created by women to give the smaller, weaker person an advantage. It is the only martial art that Bruce Lee formally studied.

The Wing Chun I teach comes from Kenneth Chung who learned from Leung Sheung who learned from Yip Man in Hong Kong in the early 50s.


Thanks and I hope to see from you soon

Thanks for the well wishes.

I really want to be at the meet and greet but I have a family thing. I will try to get back to catch up with everyone in the evening though. Also I heard a rumor that a trip to Anchor Bar may happen on Friday. I'll try to make that too.

Just because you're all dieing to know...The open class went well. About half a dozen or so people showed up. About an equal number heard about it online or from a few flyers I posted.

We briefly went over the pole and knife sets, center line and other basic concepts, stepping and turning and some principles of application and of course sitting in the stance going through a quick Siu Lim Tau.

The results being there is interest in a Wing Chun class in Buffalo. We will start meeting on Tuesdays and Thursday at 6:00pm, for now at Hoyt Lake, while I look for a training space.We will start on Tues Sept 5Th at 6:00.

If you or anyone you know are interested drop me a line at [email protected]

Thanks

Mark
