Reviewed our Yellow Belt material for one guy who ended up being promoted to Yellow at the end of the class.
What did you do last class?

This Wing Chun class is a spin-off of the JKD class, and the JKD class is actually a blend of JKD, Jun Fan Gung Fu, and a little bit of Wing Chun, plus Kali. So, we know these drills from JKD--they're nothing knew to me. The Sil Lum Tao form and dan sao were, though. We had done the intro. to the form once in the mixed class, in preparation for this class.

Yes, it's very familiar from the JKD. It's also different in some ways because of, for example, the greater emphasis in Wing Chun on snake-style strikes in it; in JKD when we did pak sao/lop sau it was almost always with a fist. We finger jabbed to the eyes to enter, but not as a rule in trapping.
The basic idea is very similar to FMA methods. It reminds me of the Modern Arnis drill called obstruction removal, for instance.

Well last night we worked on some basic drills for the first 15 or so doing basic front snap kick inward hand swords. Then moved on to a review of short form one. Long form one, coordination set. Then went back over the two techs we learned last week. Rolling Bear and Locking Guard. I donÂ’t know what it is but I seem to pick up all the techs real easy but the form sets kill me. Looks like we will be doing a lot of review on Wed of this week and for the next two weeks we have a belt test in two weeks

We sat cross legged on the floor for an hour and talked about the philosophy and spiritual aspects of our art, what they are, how they have changed us, how they apply in our every day lives, what they meant a thousand years ago and how they are still relevant today.

How about a new thread with a summary of that discussion?
We ran thru some basics drills of knifehands, hammerfist,backhands, elbows, knees. Once we were warmed up pulled the mats out for rolls and falls, front rolls, back, side, turning, barrell, front fall into barrell, then front, side and back falls. Then we moved on to wrist throws, reverse wrist, kote giesh (sp). We worked these off static, then off chokes and grabs. My wrists are a little sore. I am 6'5" and turning my body over my wrist to roll out is a little hard against a 5'6" partner.
The last class I taught we worked pi-hagi (dodging) and block and counter drills. Then we put on the gear for some sparring. Then we hit the mat for a quick grappling match.

Well, I wasn't going to link this anywhere until I got some more content on it... but I've started a journal online to write about each class.

Im sorry I was under the impression you where actually studying at a fully fledged WC club, not just a blend with JKD, thats why I was suprised you where doing the Lop Sau, as it is a drill associated with the Chum Kiu, the lop sau's primary purpose is not as a trapping range excercise, it is a drill desighned to further train the "two way" energy as developed through The chum Kiu (searching/sinking bridge form)
The JKD class is a mixture. He offers a variety of classes and I take the JKD class (actually mixed JKD/Kali/Jun Fan/Wing Chun, with an emphasis on the first two), the FMA class (Doce Pares/Kali Ilustrimo/Inosanto-Lacoste), and now the newly offered Wing Chun class. He's a certified instructor under Francis Fong's organization and so in the Wing Chun class we are really getting Wing Chun, I gather, but in the JKD class he "absorbs what is useful" and draws from different areas.
He likes the JKD and FMA best and is offering the Wing Chun because of popular request.
I don't think I know Lop Sau in any other context than the pak sao/lop sau trapping that I know from JKD and that we have now also done in Wing Chun.

My da to teach, so i worked on footwork for 40 minutes, wiht the whole class, like slide, round kick, slide back. Then we worked on poomse and self defense. After class we sparred, my instructer told me to go against 2 of them for fun. Above all a good class, except for the usual thing..kids my own age dont like to listen to me

Yes Sifu was telling me that the lop sau drill when they where training it with Yip Man was trained incorrectly by nearly everyone including himself, for many years, people would try to press in the bong sau, the hands, until he uinderstood that it was introduced with the chum kiu so as to teach more extensivly on the Chum Kui force (two way force) which is to say the utilisation of the Sui Lum Tao energy combined with the arm bridge energy.

Had to skip a few classes, so it was great to get back into things... school takes priority 
did some rolling (as always!), then practiced a few katas a little bit. We then worked on Hanbo (short staff). That was particularly fun, since it was my first formal weapon class Hand work was a bit off, but with some practice, I'll get the hang of it! Anyways, it was quite fun

We did more rolling (as always!) and worked some on the hanbo, working on grappling for the first time. I enjoyed that alot!
The teacher in the past has mentioned he had broken Oak Bo before, and that alot of people did not believe him. The accidently broke an oak hanbo during class, and that was pretty cool Did not require alot of muscle, and he was actually pretty suprised. Did not hurt hand either LOL I was sort of impressed...
