On Saturday 18th February 2012, Sifu Lee Paul Heron taught a 3-hour Kung-Fu Workshop at the New Malden HQ.

The x12 participants of our small-group Chi-Sao Workshop at the New Malden HQ on 18th Feb 2012.
The focus of this event was the Technical Element of the Federation Wing Tsun System, specifically the Chum-Kiu Chi-Sao programmes. The workshop was limited to 12 places, and these were open to any UKKFF members who were studying the system at the Intermediate Stage of the training programme or above. Thus, anyone who had passed 7SG could book a place, which included Instructors and Journeymen-Level students too.
According to grade, the workshop provided a detailed look at what Chi-Sao is, what this unique training exercise tries to achieve, the correct application of pressure, the correct sequence of movements within each programme, plus links, variations, strategic overlays, and of course how each short sequence provides an instruction manual for effective combat tactics within the Practical Element of the system.
A big thanks to everyone who attended, and keep an eye on the events calendar for more Kung-Fu Workshops in future terms.

Great 3 hours of Chi Sao today, loads of detail and lots to think about. Took a lot from it.
A big thanks to all who attended this Workshop. I was very impressed with the overall standard, and the effort people put into their training. Really, the only way to improve your ability is to put the hours in, and it was a good 3 hours work from everyone.
I’ve already had several requests to run another one of these, so if you’re interested please let me know, and watch this space.
