Our Kiwi counterparts on the Kapiti Coast, just outside of Wellington, are doing well and are training hard. The enthusiasm and thirst for Wing Chun knowledge continued on from where I left off with our New Zealand brothers and sisters last November.
Dai Sihing Stu Dunn and Sihing Dean Baines have been working the guys here well since our last get-together, and there were some new faces to go along with quite a few of the early staunch supporters this trip and we all had a fantastic time.
Tweaked some areas here and there, and introduced some new concepts to keep both new and old students happy (and probably confused… at least for a little while). Since my last visit across the Tasman, the Kapiti Krew has added another night of training to their schedule and that’s always a good sign.
We worked on energy development for the newbies, and tried to adjust structures to make both single and double-arm chi sao more efficient and fluid.
Also enjoyed a meeting and dinner with long-time NZ Wing Chun exponent and NZ Chin Woo Association Chairman, Sifu Peter Yu, which rounded out a fantastic weekend in Wellington. Click here to catch some of the highlights.
Great job, to all our Kiwi brothers and sisters; keep up the fine efforts!
Thanks Sifu – it was a pleasure having you over – as usual! Looking forward to your next trip, the buzz on planning has already begun 🙂
Pleasure was mine, Stu. You guys are doing a fine job over there; keep it up! If we can get back sooner, all’s better for everyone! Regards to all! 🙂
