NO GI DAY Today!

Forget your Gi today, it’s too hot!

It’s much cooler in here than it is out there…! However, let’s be smart about it, today is no gi day. Drink plenty of water, eat light.

See you tonight!

Morning Classes

What a way to start the day! I know a lot of you travel into the city from far and distant lands 🙂 but for those who are local, morning classes are a great way to set you up for the day ahead, and train hard before the heat really kicks in.

Monday and Friday mornings are Martial Xfit, a strength, conditioning and endurance circuit for enhancing your martial arts training. Tuesday mornings are BJJ Core, strength, endurance and orientation training to enhance your BJJ. Wednesday is Forms and Chi Sau, Thursday is Wing Chun. All classes start at 7am – officially finish at 7:45 – and are run by either Frances or myself (Amy).

Look forward to seeing more of you in the AM!! 🙂

Stretching Workshop

Our first workshop for the year is on Stretching & Kicking. The focus will be on the stretching side of things.

The workshop will run for approx 3 hours, by the end you will have an arsenal of stretches, so there will be no excuse NOT to achieve your goals. You will receive a 6 week stretching plan to help you along your way. We will reconvene in 6 weeks to compare how far we have progressed!

It’s $60 for the day, all levels encouraged to attend!

30th Anniversary Party

table view

Book now for our 30 year anniversary party!
(It’s also Sifu’s Birthday!!)

We have booked the Altitude Restaurant at the Shangri-la Hotel in the Rocks for a late lunch instead of a dinner. What this means is that we have the whole restaurant to ourselves (arrive from 12 noon for a 1pm start to 4pm finish), from 4pm they need to prep for opening for dinner so we will then move on to the Blu Bar (adjacent to the restaurant) for mingling, drinks and watch the sun set.If you would like to turn this into a romantic night out then we have been offered a 10% discount on best available online rates for the evening. Please email me at info@wingchunway.com if you would like to make use of that offer and I will give you the promo code.

It is still a 3 course meal and drinks package. And it is still formal – suits for the guys, dress/gowns for the girls…unless you’re having an androgynous moment! Then what ever you like, just make it formal 🙂

We have booked entertainment for the day. Our friends from the Gallery Cafe (Mark and Pearl) are also former Moscow Circus hand balancers, but Mark is now a practicing magician and will be on the floor throughout the celebrations mingling and doing his magic tricks for you. We have also booked Mick on Wheels, a session musician, specialising in soul who will do a couple of sets for us in between courses, he was recently on The Voice and has come highly recommended by one of our own talented musicians “big” Josh. It’s going to be a great day, and Sifu will have much to say upon reflection of the last 30 years with you all.

Grading is this Saturday!

red-boat-kung-fu-wing-chun-sequence

Bring your friends and family! Even if you’re not grading come along!

It’s going to be a big grading this Saturday, we have 4 or more Black Belts grading, the kids are starting a more refined curriculum and we have an awesome after party planned…so make sure you’ve cleared the day!

red-boat-kung-fu-guest-liz-martin

Special guest Liz Martin will be playing at our after party!

…“I first saw Liz Martin play back in the folk infused days of the mid 90s, when every pub seemed to have an acoustic jam session and Sydney was awash with the sound of Jeff Buckley. It was clear, even then, that Liz had a certain quality which lifted her above the stylists and try hards. A pure beauty in performance that eschewed the demonstrative and instead, resonated at a higher level. She had the wise soul of a poet. A dyed in the wool Cohenesque stoicism.”…Ian Shadwell – Author, Music Critic

We saw her at the Old Fitzroy in Woolloomooloo last year and she was great, unassuming, great whisky voice and beautiful tunes. There will be a $20 cover charge on the day to go toward having her play.

Remember we have John Will on our mat tomorrow from 1:30 for a fantastic seminar on BJJ!

It’s only $80 and will cover:”High Percentage MMA/Street-oriented takedown – a Pre-clinch gameplan and a post-clinch gameplan ..

groundwork: Making the distinction between darce and Anaonda chokes – and a single set-up for both
Making the distinction between Kimura and Americana locks – and again, a single method to get both.”

Sounds pretty darn awesome to me!

BJJ friends not directly associated with our school are welcome.

See you on the mat!
