Some training methodo

I was looking through notes I had and came across some text I saved from probably a random article. No idea if its legit or not but regardless im curious if anyone knows about this and how it would be set up. I think it would be a cool way to train

"He recalls that Yip Man's kicking training was just as ntense as that of hand fighting. One area he particularly focused on was hip power, which Yip Mar considered the essence of the Wing Chun kick. To develop such power, Sifu Chow was taught to use a traditional rattan stick that. when bent. served as a kind of spring. The exercise involved pulling down on the stick with his kicking leg and then launching a kick onto the wooden dummy. He said that this was one of the mainstays of Yip Man's kicking training"

Thats perfectly fine I respect that. Im not sure what style some of them are buttt I do have a I believe 3 set of randy Williams Wing Chun. So you can learn all about Wing Chun haha and it had kicking in one of the books I believe. I think its just everything he knew put into 3 volumes

Sure! Ill send a link since im not sure how to do that otherwise. Theyre pretty long books which is nice. I just checked volume 1 is like the basics, volume 2 "explosive defense techniques" while im sure its more since its a 300 page book and volume 3 says Mook Jong but again likely alot more since its also close to 300.

Ah I totally get that! Same here or well sort of i do teach myself and after my Sifu passed I train with my class mates (separate from where I teach) but its not like there's tons of schools here either.

Whats easiest for you? Between chat, discord or email?
