Instructors Only

Sifu initially answers a question that a student asked about why/how our Wing Chun is different. He then goes on to discuss how to keep students engaged. Part of this is by addressing aspects of each individual that we want to develop: resilience, durability, intelligence, composure and strategy and tactics.

We then look at the first part of the advanced Bil Gee form.

Dear Instructors,

It has been a while since we have posted any content for you. We are looking at making this now a weekly occurance. The videos will not be edited! They are rough and ready to go. But if you’re a coach, it’s the content – not the gloss – that you’re after.

So without any further explaination, here are the 3 theme variations/class structures that we ran with this week. Two Wing Chun classes (Wooden Dummy derived techniques and a multi layered Trapping Hands sequence, with striking drills for both classes) and one Boxing class (looking at our original long set – an 11 stage boxing drill – and our new even longer set – a 20+ stage boxing drill).

You can run the classes as they have been planned, but there is enough information in there that with a little imagination you could get 2-3 classes out of each.

Looking forward to your feedback.

Wing Chun – Set 5 Class

Boxing – Long Set Class

Wing Chun – Trapping Hands Class

In this month’s Instructors Only mat chat Sifu Rick Spain discusses the importance of class structure – for you and your students.

Remeber to send us any questions on the grading material you have!!

This week it’s all neck attacks! Attacking the neck is a very important skill to understand and integrate into your standup game, your clinch game and your grappling game.

Hey guys, in order to get the instructors only vids out quickly we’re cutting some production corners for now. Apologies in advance for being partially out of frame in the Wing Chun theme of the week section. Any questions please ask!!

This is the last “fly on the wall” instalment of Quantifying Wing Chun. As you will hear in Sifu’s latest mat chat (out in next few days), he is working on a complete blueprint of Red Boat Wing Chun. This blueprint will cover strikes, blocks and forms, the “four phases” (a new categorisation Sifu is working on), drills, chi sau and more. It’s a rather large undertaking so will be a few months away.

Part 3 next week!

This will soon be a course, so a more detailed study is in process!!

A Friday lunchtime discussion breaking down into parts Wing Chun blocks, strikes, footwork and forms. Parts 2 and 3 coming next week.

As well as explaining what Red Boat University is, this is also a useful video for current members for site navigation.

You always hear “he’s got good game” when talking about great fighters… but what does that actually mean?? This video explains exactly what it means and something that should be in the back of your mind when training, learning new techniques and practising old ones.
