| ENJOY WING CHUN LESSONS ! - Sunday, June 27, 2010Welcome to Wing Chun in Auckland. We give quality education in Wing Chun as taught in Hong Kong, where Grandmaster Ip Man lived and trained. There is no joining fee and the general price is $5 per hr for high quality tuition and all other area Schools are free to partisapate at and enjoy. Regardlessly,throughout history, all are placed on student prices unless you request to pay more on the adult price rate- this is not expected or required.
CONGRADULATIONS to those Qualified in Wing Chun, recently. Now that many more are in the the Family Tree with Ip Man, Bruce Lee etc..., I trust many will be looking forward to the next up grading in July.
Sifu will be taking update photos of classes soon, so if you want to show your mum, look at me !, then bring your comb. Blindfolded sparring Video updates will be added also.
Great to see Ip Mans Sons, Sifu Ip Chun and Sifu Ip Ching and Bruce Lee in the Movie IP MAN 2 !
With great antisapation, highly recommened is IP MAN 3- out at Movie Cinemas Now ! Sifu Ip Chun shows impressive skill and gives logic to the ethics of Wing Chun. A must see moive ! IpMan 1 is out at video stores now and shows the middle days in the 2nd world war and 2nd is of this later older days while 3rd is of the early days of learning Wing Chun ! Fourth will include Bruce Lee days.
Hi to Mal and Cathy Walters and a Special Hi to my long time friend who has always Graced everyone with his presence, GARY HARRIS who tragically has terminal cancer, has shown great braveness in the face of death. Life is the Greatest gift, but we must all give it back, hopefully with conquest to all we have wanted to say and do. Gary has done more than words and actions, and not til we face ordeals do we find we are as we say or not as we thought we would. Like Ip Man, I will always look up to you, and aspire to their goodness over such tragedy.
Sifu Tony.

| " HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIFU IP CHING " - Sunday, May 09, 2010Greatest Wishes and Happiness from all of us in New Zealand and around the World to Sifu Ip Ching ! May it be a wonderful time in everyway !
Sifu Ip Ching is Famous in Hong Kong, not just because his Dad was (Yip)Ip Man, but for his Skill and Knowledge proven over the Years. Sifu Ip Ching is is a fine example of his Dads accomplishments. I have found him a Fantastic Teacher, who although he trys to help even people who disrespectfully spar against him, he brings them back to the true path of life and Wing Chun. Sifu Ip Ching is a true GrandMaster and an Honour to know. I know many Men, but not many are as selfishless and giving as Sifu Ip Ching. May Sifu Ip Ching have Health, Wealth and Happiness as I know, He deserves it, with love and repect from all of us in the Wing Chun etc, world.
For those wanting to learn about Wing Chun, you can join at any time of the month. first lesson free and once you belong to one area school, all the other area schools are free to attend. Unlike all sports/martial arts where you are always expected to be at your peak Breath, strength, fitness and age in order to partisapate, Wing Chun is different where if your age and peak is not with you, you can still defend family and yourself regardless. If you do a sport like Boxing, there are weight catogories as blocking will colapse under a stronger force, hence why light weights are not allowed to fight Heavy weights. This makes it interesting if you meet a bully bigger than you on the street. Wing Chun is different as we do not need weight catogories. On the street, there are many possiblities, but in the ring, options are limited, and its head to head. Although Boxing use to hold their hands like Wing Chun in the old boxing days, boxers killed too many people so they made them wear gloves, which now make a hand stance that create seven extra doors to trick and attack easier than the old hand forms/shapes did.
For those who would rather sit down, and learn about Wing chun, you can see the MOVIE- IP MAN part two. Out at movie Cinemas now, and you can get part 1 from last year at your local video hire store. Part 3 will include Bruce Lee being taught by Bruce Lees only claimed Teacher and Sifu, Sifu Ip Man.(Hong Kong/ China fighting Champion).
In a world where there is no respect, people will cheat you. We can give respect or not give repect, but if you do give repect, we all win and we can all work together helping each other.
GRADING
23rd of May. Details from Teachers/Sifu.
