Along with our now monthly instructor tutorials for aspiring teachers, we held yesterday our first local seminar! It was a full day for some people, as they attended a two hour instructor tutorial in the morning, then the focused seminar in the afternoon, culminating with student grade examinations.
During the seminar, we reviewed and focused on the magnetic zone theory and how to use this in determining the trigger point of when to move forward and hit your enemy. Footwork was also emphasized, as were some of the fundamental lat-sau attacks (the "deadly" ones according to Si-kung).
Finally, after everyone was already tired and sweaty, Christian Mirescu and Ben Habr managed to pass the 7th and 6th student grade examinations respectively. Congratulations! They did a good job in all areas of the examinations, and are now moving onwards to work for the assistant instructor level (and black T-Shirt, of course).
Sifu Lau returns in April, and Grandmaster Leung Ting is coming in August! Hope to see everyone at these events and for you to progress in your WingTsun journeys.
I will be in Hong Kong from March 20th through March 30th, and Sifu Hsiao will be out of the country as well shortly thereafter. Sibak Clever will be teaching classes in the meantime.
Take care and keep training!
Best Wishes,
Sifu Kuo
