Sifu Gorden / Interview From New Martial Hero Magazine

vbwingchun — Mon, 21 May 2007 17:13:00 -0400

Enlargement of the Wing Chun Ip (Yip) Family Sifu Ip Man has been a legendary figure in Wing Chun circles for decades. Credit for his and the systems recognition, now worldwide, must be given to his students, his son, Sifu Ip Chun, and his nephew, Sifu Lo Man Kam. It was the destiny of Sifu Ip and Sifu Lo to learn Wing Chun from their youth. Great talents appear in successive generations of the Ip family. Lu (Lo), Gorden, son of Sifu Lo Man Kam, also inherited the Wing Chun tradition from his family, and grew up regarding the propagation of Wing Chun as his lifes mission. These individuals exerted great efforts in promoting Wing Chun Kung Fu, also conducting seminars and attracting students in many countries around the planet. When Sifu Gorden was a child, he was exposed to his fathers frequent discussion of Wing Chun techniques with the students. Thus, he grew up aware of the power of Wing Chun in hitting fast and with deadly accuracy in a short distance. He was amazed when he witnessed the skillful technique and the change of footwork in the seniors practice........

Instructor Training - Fundamental of Chi sao

vbwingchun — Mon, 26 Mar 2007 01:29:00 -0400

Chi sao (sticking hands ) is an unique exercise that only Wing Chun has other martial arts doesn't have. Chi sao is the heart of Wing Chun. It prepares the students for fighting by developing and increasing their skills of covering, contact feeling, sensitivity, reflex reaction, and other more. That is why to be an instructor on learning how to teach Chi sao and "Lead Chi sao" are very important in the entire Wing Chun training process. Knowing the way of teaching can reduce students' learning times on the new exercises; also, easier to let students understand the ideas behind the movements.

At Mar.17 & 18, Sifu Gorden Lu had 2-day seminars at Neu-Anspach, Germany to provide his experience and instructed on "How to teach" Chi-sao by using practical teaching methods and followed with curriculum that he learned from his father Sifu Lo Man Kam and his kung fu uncle Sifu Duncan Leung to a group of Wing Chun instructors from Lo Man Kam Wing Chun Association Germany.

Wayne Goss

vbwingchun — Fri, 09 Mar 2007 16:02:00 -0500

A former student of Sifu Duncan Leung “Wayne Goss” currently is instructing a small group on Wing Chun Kung Fu. Wayne will be soon opening a Wing Chun school in the Phoenix Arizona area in hoping to spread his Wing Chun knowledge and experience out to the people.

In 1965, Wayne Goss began his martial arts training in the Texas Army National Guard. During he’s time in the National Guard; Wayne learned self defense techniques and Tae Kwon Do. After his time in the National Guard, Wayne joined the Navy in 1976. During his 20 year career in the U.S. Navy, he was stationed in many different cities in United States and traveled to 23 different countries worldwide meeting many interesting martial art practitioners. At same year he joined Navy, Wayne was stationed in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and started learning Wing Chun from Sifu Duncan Leung. Soon after training with Duncan for a number of years, Wayne met Sifu Gorden Lu. At that time Sifu Gorden was an instructor at Sifu Duncan’s Wing Chun School. After many years of training and working together, they became good friends.

Sifu Gorden’s patient, enthusiasm, and unique teaching method help Wayne to have a deeper understanding of Wing Chun. Wayne says, “Sometimes it is difficult to describe the benefits of martial arts training. Much has been said and written on that subject. I believe the most important purpose of martial arts training is the ability to focus mentally and to focus physically. You have to focus to learn it, and that trains you to be more focused on all that you do. That’s why some say it increases your concentration and coordination. It also gives you positive thinking. It has helped me deal with life’s tragedies. Of course martial art is mainly for self-defense but self-defense does not always mean physical force. At 60 years old, Wayne Goss forces himself to deal with limitations. Wayne still surprises friends, family and especially himself at what he can do.

(Sifu Gorden visited Wayne at his retired ceremony)

We respect all martial arts, and we agree that a student should find the system and style that fits best. But, all martial arts should strive for the improvement of efficiency. Wing Chun is a product of that process. It is a very efficient system of fighting. Efficiency equals a better chance for survival.

Wing Chun Teahouse

vbwingchun — Sat, 24 Feb 2007 17:03:00 -0500

Traveling To Taiwan and Hong Kong from the online magazine Wing Chun Teahouse :

In August 2006, Marc Debus, Frank Kuhnecke, Andreas Zerndt and Clarissa Muzammil from the German Lo Man Kam Wing Chun Association travelled to Taipei. The reason therefore was a training session in Sifu Lo Man Kam’s house. Lately, it’s been very hot in the Republic of China and as a consequence the training was strenuous. Most of the time, a lesson lasted about four hours a day. Sometimes, Sifu Lo Man Kam gave extra training lessons in the afternoon for his German school leaders.

A visit to the Taiwan Police headquarters was an extraordinary aspect of our stay. We had a chance to see the training of the police S.W.A.T. classes which are instructed by Sifu Lo Man Kam. He’s been training the Police for the Taiwanese government for approximately 20 years. On the day we went a delegation from Japan presented Kendo and Jiu Jitsu skills… >>

Massage is a Must !

vbwingchun — Thu, 11 May 2006 00:04:00 -0400

by Marileigh Richards / Certified Massage Therapist

According to the American Massage Therapy Association, research shows that Massage Therapy provides several important health benefits, including:

․ Improved blood circulation, which aids in recovery of muscle soreness.

․ Promotes muscle relaxation, which also improves range of motion.

․ Helps problems with insomnia and promotes a deeper sleep.

․ Increases endorphin levels (chemicals in the body that create a feeling of euphoria) which is good for helping to manage pain.

Of course, these benefits help everyone, but in my opinion they are a must for Athletes. Martial Arts and other forms of strenuous physical exercise can be very taxing on the body. Muscles can become stiff and sore and to help prevent injury Massage is a great help. Professional athletes of all kinds have relied on massage therapy to help them compete at their best. Older athletes especially benefit from massage, because as we age muscles don't recover or stretch as quickly and easily on there own as they once did without help.

In summary, massage can help muscle recovery, stiffness or at the very least help you relax and sleep better, and is good for average people and the serious athlete alike.

Pix: Chi sao

There has many different ways of Chi sao. Some people are doing Chi sao that emphasize hitting each other; some people not really stick a lot… In the videos Sifu Gorden is showing another way of Chi sao which is more emphasize "feeling" which can give yourself better control and covering. Also it will be easier to use opponent’s power on hitting back or redirect.

Chinese New Year

vbwingchun — Fri, 27 Jan 2006 12:30:00 -0500

(year begins on 1/29/2006)

<2006 is year of dog >

The Dog is a giving, compassionate personality. He offers kind words, support and advice to friends and family. He is a listener, always available to lend an ear or a shoulder to a friend in need. Often Dogs know more about their friends than their friends know about them or even themselves! Dogs are incredibly attentive. Sometimes though, Dogs should pay more attention to their own needs. In private, many Dog people worry a lot.

Years of the Dog

Eleventh in the cycle, Dog Years follow the Rooster years and recur every twelfth year. The Chinese New Year does not fall on a specific date, so it is essential to check the calendar to find the exact date on which each Dog Year actually begins.

1910*1922*1934*1946*1958*1970*1982*1994*2006

THE SIGN OF THE DOG

Dogs can be a bit overwhelming, due in part to their attentive natures. They can march in and take control of a situation, even when it doesn involve them directly. This can lead people to think Dogs are nosy or gossipy, but in reality, he just means well. Money and status don matter to the Dog. He is more concerned with the welfare of his family and friends and will do whatever it takes to help them out of a tight squeeze or a rough spot. Once Dogs determine a subject of interest, they usually master that before taking off for a new adventure. They like to finish what they start. They are honest and trustworthy people, ethically strong and morally kept. They make loyal friends and companions.
