wot no sunday with psyco i neeed my kung fu
13th july/ missed nearly an hour of training because of the traffic got home 6.40 left for training 6.55 got to training 7.45ish usually takes 8mins.
got straight in to the deep end with sifu psyco.learned a bit tried it in work but can`t convince the ginge that it works.he said he`s gonna come training soon and show master splinter how kung-fu doesn`t work when somone really wants to hit you.(can`t wait)
stu fu says sunday at `metalwork` was another experience of sifu adrians brand of freestyle i got floored by a 13 year old girl and had to sit out for 5 to recover but i suppose thats a good reality to have.As sifu adrian says anyone can hurt anyone if they get a lucky shot even himself(i don`t think that includes sifu master he has eyes in back of head and arse and he can use the force)strange to see some weird form of karate be soft to overcome hard i`m told but karate is the dark side isn`t it but then again it was being modified to suit our kungfuey angle.
No training thursday so it`s a whole week to heal.I`m sure sifu pysco will have some stress to relieve by sunday maybe captain stretch will come and he can be his gimp and i`ll watch
stu-fu says:Bumped in to a friend in tesco after training tonight,she had her arm in a cast,her girlbully brother grabbed her by the throat and hit her about a bit,she fell and done her arm/wrist. Tonights lessons just happened to include a lot of throat grabbing.I`ve asked her to come along before……..if she had come her brother would have the cast on and no teeth.She says she`s gonna come when her arms fixed.We`ll see.
Took a few deep impacts tonite but it`s ok cause captain stretch says it`s good conditioning work. Not that it matters because `my kung-fu is strong` so watch out sifu psyco i comin to get u, and julians gonna back me up.
stu-fu says:i took big kelly and juls to metalwork in aberdare sunday it`s really cool when the kids learn lethal strikes for the playground (joking) no the kids learn so far and the big kids learn to take it a little further.It ended up with just me and jul training with the big bear `sticky hands` made us sweat and gag for air but sifu wasn`t puffin i was waiting for him to turn in to morpheus and say the words `is that air your breathing`.Juls was a little scared on the way up but now he`s dead keen to go again,bummer is he learns a lot faster than me. i`ll have to give him a limp to take home on thursday,just have to be careful the master don`t see me bully him
stu-fu says:tonights lesson was a step back to basics,which is refreshing because i think i can do them a little easier now.lots of new faces too and question askers as well.It`ll be interesting to see how many will stick it out after they`ve had their first taste of some `chi`penetrate their ribcage and bounce around inside.Or maybe a little froghopping and duckwalking will sort the wheat from the chaff.
Still can`t get my head around freestyle form practice,i need somone in front of me as an attacker to focus my direction/deflection stuff.
Aberwhere on sunday and maybe the master is guest starring,lucky i got no bruises tonight.Jul says he`s comin and i`ll probly bring big kelly,it`s never to soon to teach a youngster to be the hardest in the park.even a 5yr old
Stu Fu, a lot more freestyle form practice for you from now on then!!!! I’ll explain it to you next lesson very slowly just for you. Another lesson based on a Stu fu question.
Stu-fu says:very thoughtful of you master but i`d be more comfortable practicing on the moon at the moment till i look cool doin it then no problemo
stu-fu says:big sifu adrians on sunday another 2hrs of kung big bear fu. He says he wasn`t nasty until the master made him that way.hard to believe.
when making a defensive block why not hurt your attacker using a defensive block,then
add your own attack perhaps targeting some pressure points (gall bladder 20 a favourite)whilst yor attacker is coming to terms with the imminent lack of consciuscnous you`re also at the same time using a kick block/attack to the kneecap/nuts/thigh/shin etc to also stop them in their tracks.whatever happened to rules,truth is there are none.when somone wants to smash your face in their not worried how much it`s gonna hurt you.do it to them first preferably leave no marks when they wake up they may not even remember what they are doing there. look forward to thursday.
one more thing, 1.50 hr-costs?
stu-fu says:`tan s ow` not right spelling what a block, spent some time learning it from master and the bear, got sore arms to prove it thought i was cool showed it to my bird when i got home she tried it on me with no interest one handed tan block same hand strike slap to temple,slipped same hand under nose and tipped me on my arse.how can she do this stuff? she punches me without effort(internal)(tan/punch)same time, without thinking for to long like i do,i swear she could be a mild mannered janitor.
like usual another good lesson not to confusing and good humoured.I went home feeling positive(but i don`t know why)
stu-fu says:some tan from the bear sunday night in aberdare ,sifu adrian added a little more to thursdays lesson reguarding the `tan` block incoorperating pressure point strikes and short distance strikes.quite painful and very fast.an attacker would be shocked in to retreat by the suprise factor,and unless stupid would think twice before making another move.
good lesson
stu-fu says:aberdare with the bear whatever you do don`t give sifu adrian a stick.More hand and joint locking including a favourite of his.Some stick fighting somthing i`m very not good at a lot.Then put what you`ve learned to test in the circle of death.Sounds like the kind of evening only a nutter would enjoy,but every week there i am laughing when it hurts.whats wrong with me?
I have a secret weapon `shaolin chin na`book to read, hope it`s not in adrians library cos one day i`ll suprise him!
stu-fu says:thursdays lesson was a good get the basics right type of lesson ,stance absorb,deflect,strike(wide horse ,`garn` or `fook`snake or monkey etc in throat/head,sweep kick)
Training and learning different techniques somtimes raise questions as to `would that really work`or `what if i just do this with my elbow or punch with my other hand`.If you need to learn you have to ask and then be shown,It usually hurts but then you have a real understanding of somthing that otherwise you just take as spoken word which just is`nt the same as a more realistic experience.
stu-fu says:wow sifu big bear and the master.so many different techniques so many little add-ons so much to take in, just when you think you got him he/they show you a counter.brain hurts! thinking toooo muchhhhh tutvtfoygvv,,,hyy!!!!!!!!!!!!dvxv
THE MASTERS COURSE IS NOW ON AT BIRCHGROVE COMMUNITY CENTRE ON SUNDAY 11th NOVEMBER 10.00am to 4.00 pm. ADULTS £15 JUNIORS UNDER 15yrs £10. ALL STYLES AND ASSOCIATIONS WELCOME.
Big Kelly says:Sifu Adrians class is really cool.He teaches me to `defend myself`.I`ve learned snake,tiger,leopard,bird and tiger.I learned pak sau,bong sau,gan sau.I don`t think he can use the force like the master can,but he is really tough.
Hi Guys, Many thanks for inviting us brash northerners down to your great weekend training, we had a great time and look forward to doing it again. It would, however, be great to see you guys up at Master Kemps club in the near future, your all welcome. Once again, thank’s for a great weekend.
Many thanks for inviting me down of a great weekend training i had a good time did you please add feedback on your site it will help us if you can
your in Martial arts Master Kemp
Stu-fu says:sorry i hav`nt commented for a while did`nt think anyone was reading my nonsense.
Anyway as for Master Kemp and Hanshi Benfell they`ve overtaken sifu morgan and sifu adrian as the hardest blokes i know they don`t need viagra eye drops to `look hard`. You would never believe these two ordinary lookin middle aged blokes where so secretly `dangerous`.It`s encouraging to know that if you are willing to learn and make the effort to train,you don`t have to be 6`6 20st to be able to defend yourself and your family.I wan`t tuition from these guys as often as i could but they live a zillion miles away from me,so we`ll have to get them down again.this time a hotel that does a good brekkie (i know just the place)
I tried to take in as much as i could on the day but kung fu is a lot to learn,what i do remember is i enjoyed the day and look forward to it again,and who knows if somone attacks me may be i`ll get a flashback and pinch that nerve under the armpit or just deflect them so softly or just hook out an eye as master kemp enlightened me.
Stu-fu says: Sifu morgan was in an angry mood on thursday,it was scary.Me and big bear sifu talked about it a little and we both concluded it was really cool.
The backs of my hands are still a bit scabby from pounding the medicine ball,but it`s ok cos i`m tuff.
Also worth a mention is the fact i`ve stopped aching now,it`s only been 5 days (i think i`m developing a resistance to physical abuse).
I was having a little trouble understanding the concept of the muscle memory training this time,the focus of which was to try and keep a bent elbow (flexability in striking/blocking) as opposed to long reach twist hips.Sifu morgan explained we would use both and more of a multitude of different blocks/strikes/movements/kicks,you must learn lots so you can utilise your knowledge to suit an ever changing situation. i think thats what he meant.
Gutted ,missed course due to transport complications the big bear says it was brilliant. He got some good stuff to use on me on thursday.i`m lookin forward to it as i`ve missed my regular dose of big bear pain today.Tommorrow won`t feel like a monday without a limp.i`ll feel like i lost a day.
I GOT TO BE ON THE NEXT COURSE
was a really good course today. the 5 minutes of Chan style that we did was worth the trip alone, although i enjoyed the day as a whole. i think i can speak for the aberdare massive when i say we’re looking forward to the next course. and i hear that there’ll be an all day Chan style course in june if we’re lucky.
my back and legs are aching now though so im off in the bath to soak them.
catch u thursday
thank you to all the instructors for inviting us to the course and for their patience in training us. looking forward to the next course now.
Ricky
Stu-fu says:full day of chan? sounds good i think but is your 5 mins worth as good as my special powers.when we get another course date we`ll get travel sorted well in advance.ps nice to leave a comment ricksta,just get the rest of the metalworkers to join in.
I’m still having trouble putting the chan style together, and as ricky says it was worth the trip alone, was also good 2 av a bash with the swords 2. I thought i was lucky yesterday when my back wasnt hurting but it’s all caught up with me now
Hopefully sifu ade will have recovered from his huge sugar rush by thursday. Cant wait for the next seminar where ever it is. I’d also like to thank the instructors and ricky for driving us there.
Triv (Lewis)
stu-fu says:Big sifu took thursday class today and my elbows hurt.
The importance of being able to defend yourself on the ground can`t be taken for granted and the only way to prepare for such events should they happen is to get down and ruck on the floor.now most people might think ;go down throw punches grab roll around job done.maybe,but add proper technique `soft` movement don`t waste position manipulate sensitive areas eg eyes nuts armpits neck even one of big sifu`s optionals for more favoured students(arse).get a choke on and it`s pretty much over.
And my elbows hurt!
most the stuff we done on the floor last night was the jujistu we were taught by Master Kemp on sunday.
i wont be able to train next thursday cause im workin lates. triv’s got a car now though so he might be able to take sifu phsyco down.
sry rick, i havent i’ve only got the insurance for a wk, but hopfully i mite have my own car by then.
stu-fu says:you cupcakes with your jobs and lack of proper transport make me laugh. sifu psycho(spelling rickster) can`t make it either due to prior engagments with mrs sifu, but that just means you boys miss out on sifu nasty on thursday.he`s missed a week cos holiday plus he`s not been at full powers so i be expecting some overkill Great!
Big Jul says:wan`t to train with the big boys but to many dam kids demanding attention,sunday 3 boys 1girl the boys would be ok for the hour but controlling them for an hour while i train would be insane.Thursday night 1 boy has football training at tonna starts 7.00pm. please change training night to suit my needs. can`t see light at end of tunnel and i do miss training.
stu-fu says:If someone swings a bat stick hammer blunt object whatever they normally have to prime up their swing,this is your chance, it`s run or exploit their mistake step in take the power from them,have the guts or spill your guts.
Big sifu`s class on sunday was enlightening but thinking about it what if i swung my stick low to dead leg him first.I shall have to test my theory on him next sunday as big kelly starts crying when i hit him with a big stick and weez will shout at me.
haha, poor big kell, sum 1 correct me if i’m wrong but it shudn make much difference because the arch of the swing will be so small, not only tha they’d still have to “prime thier swing” so it’s the same opening anyways.
Stu-fu says:Triv it`s allways when i`m drivin home i come up with the killer blow but now you mention it your probably right.I`m suprised you didn`t say `yea good one try it on the big bear` just to see me squeal like a big girl as he pushes the stick in my butt.
im not training tonight as i have to work, i’ll be there next week tho.
done some sparring with my mate who does boxing, its harder to fight people who throw out jabs, i’ll have 2 ask the big fella if we can do more training off a jab hook combo
nice to see people using the website once again thank you for your comments about chan style even though it was basic soft style I apologise for being injured that weekend and could not beat anybody up(I am joking or am I) will to see you all soon so you can do six minutes and cry like babies lol people say that kung fu is to soft and does not work don’t believe that as people can testify once they have been on the receiving end anyway hope to see you all soon keep up the good work listen well train hard and try not toget hit too many times.
yours in martial arts
Master kemp
Stu-fu says:Thursday sweeping the floor,i should be good at it cos whenever theres anything hard or complicated to do i`d normally pick up a brush and look busy,thus avoiding real work.Not this time,i`m sure my constant analysis of every technique is overcomplicating what should be simple movements.Aside from this watching a basic movement develop from start to `further on`the more you can take in the more you keep,beginer, developer, better developer. Like usual good class.diolch Sifu.
Sunday metalwork with Sifu big bear `weird chun` create opening pre emptive sumthin.was`nt keen at first but i could see an use for quick and nasty close stuff.Putting on a headguard was a little daunting as Sifu was putting on a glove with a slither of padding,but the really freaky thing was Sifu putting a blindfold on and have us attempt a takedown and submission on him.Then it was our turn!. To be honest the hardest one was a girl,they just know where your eyes and nuts are even blindfolded.
Stu-fu says: P.S Ricky you drink like a girl! Triv try walkin cars and bikes don`t work for you.
Stu-fu says:Thursday class Sifu `brickhands` incorperated some basics,simple blocks with short footwork.We learn so many different things that i find it really helpfull going over stuff that i have already learned to a small degree, and i think maybe if i begin to find it easier i may be able to gauge myself on any improvment.Some good throat choke counter techniques ,i`m really starting to believe you got to be really dumb to put your hands round someones throat.lookin forward to sunday and Big bear there`s no mercy from me so don`t gime any of that `be gentle i got a hangover` pansy talk ha ha
hi stu fu. dun do pansy talk m8. sorry 2 dissapoint and il cu on sunday…. for PAIN !!!!!!!
now i can use this thing a bit beta stu expect more comments ok…. drunken style on sunday 4u ok…..ha ha…. more work off of the left jab !!!!!!
thursday was good, nice to do things off short quick footwork. did anyone else get like a snake feel out of it or was it just me?
im glad you got a taste of the headguard stu. you can see now that saying things like “yeah, but i could smash u in the nuts and hit u with a right hook” dont really apply when you’re getting smashed around the head.
i’ll soften slim up for you 2nite aswell stu, get some jaegermeisters down him so he’s in no fit state to kick ass 2morro.
and i have my phone back, amazing
sorry stu ricky could not do what he set out to do lastnite so i was still able 2 do a little bit of damage.thanks lads 4 turning up 2nite after a nite out on the beer.ill try and do sum classical and sum reality training each week. cant wait for june now to see what master kemp will have us doing…is it just me or is anyone else worried about the crying like girls in 6mins comment or should i say FACT !!! and it will probably be only 2 mins…. cu thursdays guys………
comment diagnostic
Stu-fu says:Tricky i think your right about that snake feel it seems natural that short sharp footwork would work best with the small sharp movements of the snake, monkey may be small movement somtimes but it`s so random and violent it would seem to restrictive for that animal style,crane maybe with clipped wings,leopard tiger both cats do they use short footwork i don`t think so.The only way to check up on this is to ask sifu 1 or sifu 2 but i`m wiling to bet 10pence the answer would involve `combining`.
I`m not sure if i like the small movement stuff the pro`s for me are i`m hopeless moving distance quickly so i should benefit from short steps but the cons are being in close quarters with people like 1 or 2 and then your in the shit!.
Aberware sunday the boys failed in their attempt to supply enough beer to the big boy saturday night and in turn he still had `powers`available to dispense `pain` like MR.T
Nice choke counters Sifu 2 but i`m interested in the choke type you showed when we were leaving. cu Thursday boys
which one was that stu fu coz i done a few on sunday was it the point kick by the ankle? Let me know and il explain it 2u again slowly and painfully….only joking m8 just cant help myself…ha ha. i personally like the small steps coz the closer i can get 2u the beta… I Mean that in a non sexual way ok stu….cu thursday….sifu 2.
Stu-fu says:no big bear when we were leaving you showed me a choke that normal counters would n`t work so well,and yeah that ankle one was quite good but does it work on someone heavy.i mean cos i`m so ripped my legs would slide out from under me exposing a classic nut squash kick,but someone more weighty the legs would n`t shift or is it the fact it hurts so much you just involunterally shift your leg out?
Anyway what do you mean you like close up everyone knows a big lunk would be all over the place up close,ha ha
big sifu say: cant remember that one stu.but the answer to your question is it dun matter if ur ripped or 20 stone its coz of where it is.ask big daf….ha ha everyones different and his reaction to it is slightly different but the main thing is it stops him and on the street your really gona drop it in hard…and with a combination of other nasty strikes bos your unkle.. this big lunk likes being up close so i can get very personal… show u 2moro training ok…….ha ha
hi all and (stu-fu) Chinese boxing or shorthand boxing is very effective small steps most of the time does work, but the simple fact you can be sneaky. people cannot see that you are getting into a prime position of strength working in close means that people who are not used to fighting, (so called hardcases) cannot defend themselves until it is too late. so practice doing small steps, crossovers, and making your body smaller you have more power coming up than down this will help you develop your inner strength. So even you can get your head around it(haHa) just kidding practised smile movement with your feet by example standing on people’s feet tapping the ankle joint striking the calf and lower leg taking out shoulders and arms and hands you have two get in to using short stances try doing it naturally don’t think just do it is easier any questions please asked me see you all soon master kemp
Stu fu says:I know who to blame for sifu morgan and sifu big bear for steppin on my damn feet!
Master kemp what do you mean by stronger coming up than down? could it be that you can use all your stance and body muscle energy pushing upward as opposed to gravity and perhaps less available muscle derived energy i`m not sure if i`m making any sense now,can you explain?
Sifu big bear where were you? i was lookin forward to up close and personal technique,i think you need more training as even with my lowly ranking i now up close and personal is a bit closer than 25 miles between us.Maybe i show you on sunday. by the way filled in by brook again (12yr old girl)
I KNOW STU A MIX UP IN COMMUNICATIONS I THINK BIG GUY !!! I WAS GUTTED STANDING OUTSIDE WAITING.. NEVERMIND IL MAKE UP FOR IT ON SUNDAY OK MORE FOOT STAMPING AND ANKLE AND CALF STRIKES 4U AS SUGGESTED BY MASTER KEMP… IL TRY MY BEST TO CREATE A STREET LIKE SITUATION 4 US TO PRACTICE ALL THE ABOVE OK STU ????
i got stuck down swansea yesterday. apparently im my sisters new “man with a van” except i dont have a van.
i think Master Kemp means that maybe starting from a low position and attacking upwards will gain more strength. im learning that true strength comes from a solid footwork. like sifu morgan says, “if you build a house you start with a foundation”.
seems to me like you can have the hardest/fastest hands in the world but if you cant move your feet to get into a prime position you’ll never be able to strike as hard as you potentially can.
in which case stu, if you wanna fill the big fella in, start with his legs and take his balance. easier said than done i know, but i wanna see you try anyway
correct ricardo… stu you will have to practice fast small steps and stances..years ago when i first started practacing kempo i thought that upperbody strength was the most important and was taught that. Then one day i met sifu keith and winford and my opinion rapidly changed because i could’nt get close enough quick enough to do any damage…when they let me get close enough ( eventually ) i found i couldnt really do much coz i never had the correct angle or distance to throw the big bombs…I made the choice to stop the heavy weights and concentrate on my kung fu footwork and stances to try and get sum real power and self defence ability,thankfully that paid off and i really learn something everytime i train thanks to my great teachers and students… cu all on sunday and thursday.. anyone interested in going to seni 08 on the 27 april let me know… big sifu..
Hi stu-fu (all) a very brief history lesson, when I start a gung fu (kung fu) the first thing, I learnt was to build my legs muscles not of kicking not of blocking but for running away faster, that was the first thing I learnt only an idiot stands and fights, but I had a lot more power of kicking and blocking, If needed to building my shins so they were like knives so I would cut my opposition training was a lot harder in the old days if your stances were weak your Kicks and body movement was slow so you would get punished and I do not mean push-ups or situps and I mean you got a slap. So Stuart to answer your question your legs should be the strongest part of your attack and your defence you are stronger punching kicking blocking coming up not down using your legs means using of the body i hope this answers your question if not asked sifu Morgan the question because it was the first thing I explained to him and his fighting skills improved overnight.
yours in martial arts Master kemp
PS please forgive any spelling mistakes I am a fighter not a writer lol
Attacking in an upwards angle could really suck for me, because i got to get down before i can get back up, oh well better get working on the ever classical scissor stance. btw can i asume i’m driving to seni? because ricky drove last year an i’ve already said i’ll drive.
Stu-fu says:Master kemp I will ask sifu 1 and sifu 2 for their instruction on leg/body strengh i`m sure both have some good stuff `take the best leave the rest` i`m sure i`ve heard that in a film,but are we talking the weights room or somthing more unusual.Does various stances with extra weight help.I do try to change the way i move now to incooperate stretcing and stance eg instead of raising are car ramp i`ll drop to wide horse to fit a wheel,twist hips to reach somthing rather than move closer etc.Are these small things worthwhile or not enough to be significant.I don`t really want to go to the gym to lift weights it`s boring and makes `bigger targets` i think is the phrase.
Rickster you get stuck in places like aberwhere ,you get invited to stay in swansea. Theres a difference. Also you were probly 10 mins walk from my house on thursday,i`d have given you a lift in the back off my truck!
Big Sifu i got a good kick in the nuts counter brook taught me,i`ll share it with you sunday.
Sifu morgan /1/nasty/brickhands/sneaky your input would be valid if you`d like to add anything.
hiya stu fu we will start your leg strenghening training 2nite m8 ok coz i need to do more of it aswell and you 2 ok triv…no gym, just stances and impossible chinese exercises ill have to ask master kemp for sum input on those mind but sifu hands of stone has shown me 1 or 2 … thanks cu all 2nite….
excellento Big sifu i expect to be aching for at least 2 days
you will stu fu..you will..
stu-fu says:Few sore ribs but no earned aches nevermind big bear ,maybe i`m gettin tougher time to turn the volume up one more notch.
Good metalwork though,it seems for me the simple stuff stays in my head longer and i just don`t realise,or act on it.blockstrike not two words or actions just one.That hookpunch block no real good unless you strike back quick.even better same time, then thinking about it most blocks work best the same way.The start of First form is`nt block strike it`s blockstrike.Must practice moving in dual format+upward motion training including leg stance work.
you mist the point about the hook punch block stu..if you just stand there you will get hit about but if you drop your weight into it like i done to daf it hurts him instead, the strike comes at the same time and stops anything else coming for a second so you can either finish him or run away..as for no aching legs try doing the scissors steps instead of trying to break them down slowly.ha ha at this point stu fu less thinking and more doing ok….. cu thursday ok…
Stu-fu says:So i must remember for that example of block to move weight against the incoming force,but for another type of block i should step off the line let the force slip by or another i should direct then redirect.Would it be right to say; learn each move as individual rather than using the same application to apply different techniques.eg stop the force of a strike before it gets strong,divert a strike if it`s already strong and let it`s strength fly by.use whats appropriate at the time.don`t think just do! EASY to say.
in a nutshell stu fu…dun think just do…practice , practice , practice …. thats all i can say… and yes it is easy to say. every person is different and everybody attacks slightly different…be soft and learn 2 get out of the way… cu thursdsy…
Stu-fu says:excellent nights training thursday, a bit of everything some mean horse stance some kicking some block training holding weight then some work on blockstrikes with a little freestyle some pain and finishing off with fast punching a medicine ball,which is suprisingly hard.Sifu? is everyone who had bleeding knuckles trying to hard or have they been washing dishes with fairy too long.(girls hands).ps holding the med ball in front of nuts and let gorrilla boy beat it to death is perhaps insane! also sifu 2 sorry i hurt you!
sifu 1 i`m really aching and it`s great.
my knuckles are a little grazed. its all that vaseline intensive care ive been putting on them. i enjoyed training last night. im liking training with that strapping young lad from aspers aswell, helps to boost the old ego when you can sling people like him and slim around. no training for a week now. shall have to give my bag a good going over on thursday, and sunday i’ll get a few strongbows down me and give the woman a good thrashing to keep her in her place.
peace out
Stu-fu, You build your legs every time you take a step, if you step correctly,(when using the wooden blocks- the brush etc). But there are lots of little exercise available that can get your legs built up, which now that you have asked “YOU WILL GET TO DO” , so that you come down the stairs on the cheeks of your butt. Thes will come at you when you least expect them to.
Glad to hear your all enjoying training and adrians comment “yes we are lucky to have great teachers, Sigung,Hanshi, and Sensei”. That’s Mr kemp, Mr benfell, and Sensei Mac to you Stu. their knowledge and help over a number of years has changed what I knew as Martial arts, and hopefully you guys are now getting the benifit. I know the difference and change it has made in sifu Adrians Martial arts,and it is apparent not just to him, me and the people mentioned above, but it hasn’t gone un noticed by members of his old group who pop along to see what he does from time to time!!!!!.
Sorry about the break in training Goverments HA!!!
See you all on the 8th May. just a reminder Liecence fees and Insurences are due. Sorry Nice gentle Sifu.
stu fu.. never apologise to for anything coz theres only 4 people in the last 4 years that can really hurt me without trying who ive met that it is and sifu mentioned 3 of them and hes thew 4th. a slap in the nuts does hurt but not that bad… i never 4get pain mind you and you will pay 4 that cheap shot a wk sunday.ha ha i was impressed wiv you when you relaxed and to ricky and lewis who are improving every week.. keep up the good work and remember practice makes permanent.. nice to hear your imput sifu hands of stone morgan thats wot the guys call you… i ad sure at the end….im still aching from thursday sifu…ha ha
Sometimes you learn more by sitting back and watching, rather than running in, or saying something without thinking. I do read all the comments on our site, take on board what is said by whom, and what they say. It is nice to know you are using the site, thanks Stu -Fu and gareth for setting it up. Back to training next Thursday please remember Club fees are due as well as insurances. See you all then and keep writing. Sifu morgan ulay handcream hands.
Stu-fu says:Mikey telling me `if someone swings a bat at you it don`t matter how good you are theres nothin you can do ` i just had to tell tales on him.So a little detour past sifu 1 house and thursdays cancelled class was back on,for mikey at least anyway.not enough room to swing a bat in the kitchen so cutlery was the weapon of choice.I know i open my mouth somtimes and end up on the painfull end of a lesson but it`s great when there`s somone dummer.I think mikey was impressed at the difference between little knowledge(`nothin you can do`)and enlightenment to the art(always somthing you can do)12mths ago i`d have said the same thing! ps you can`t fool us with that ulay lie we all know you use an angle grinder to keep em soft.sifu 2 you got to give mikey first pick from your bag of sticks when he finally turns up at sunday school.
stu fu tell him he can have any choice in my varied selection includeing my new additions…. yes i agree stu u would of opened ur mouth a year ago and said the same thing..i told you u are learning..ha ha.cu all sunday 4 sum metal work…..NEW BLOOD starting..yes stu u2 can ava bitch…cu sunday….
Stu-fu says:sifu 2, weezy taking pleasure in practicing eagles claw up and down my really acheing legs,i make a really pitifull girly sound when she does it.I would n`t normally beat on a pregnant girl but do you know a counter that won`t leave any marks on her.Or we could avoid thai training whichever suits you best.i`m not fussy.
As for training usual metalwork edge,i wonder does the physical edge help condition you,i mean feeling a choke or an arm bar, a knock on a pressure point from a monkey that kind of stuff.do you adapt to it `toughen up`.Or am i destined for a regular beating off weezy as well as sifu1 and sifu2.
sunday session was really good. straightening your leg out and smashing some ones head into the mat is so harsh, but so effective. was well impressed with that. its intresting to take sport techniques and make them more effective through, well, cheating basically.
and wats with the symbols by all our posts now? and how come i ended up with the pink one? i blame you stu
Stu-fu says:your right Rickster it is cheating and i reckon sifu 1 and 2 should only use sporty moves on me as that would be a decent sort of thing to do.and dunno what those things are but if anyone gives you attitude for havin pink you can kick em in the balls.
Stu-fu says:Does anyone read the comments,I`m sure i said my legs are really sore.They were just getting better from last sunday`s sifu 2 torture at metalwork.The last thing they needed was a chinese torture specialist(you know i mean you stone hands)giving them quality time.It`s weird how it hurts so much more later than at the time.Going downstairs the morning after a whole new `adventure`My legs are really hurting Weezie only got to threaten eagles claw and i turn to wussy mode.I`ll bet as your legs get stronger and adapt the torturer steps up the volume,did anyone else think about that!.Ahh well metalwork at sunday school I know sifu 2 got sore legs too, maybe we do arms tommorow. please!
stu fu… my legs are all healed up now so i will cu you soon….ha ha… i agree with you about the chinese torture tho i think he gets that from his time with master kemp..you know what they say stu about shit rolling down hill …. arms and a bit of legs then 2nite..
Hi all I have three questions to put to you all (not sifu Morgan)
one: What do you want from kung fu? (Chan style- Shin-Ga-Do)
two: what should be the first thing you should learn?
Three: what part is used all of the time in kung fu?
These are the first three questions I asked Mr Morgan when I accepted him as my personal Student. So you can not ask him for the answers because I will know.
Looking forward to the answers and I will know what to teach you are not this is very important so get all to answer our promise you will get something in return (no pain involved lol)
your master kemp
Stu-fu says:good questions Master Kemp i shall try and answer.
1.To start i should point out i`ve had no other kung-fu styles so chan shin ga do plus sifu 1 and sifu 2 `s mods and extras are the only kung-fu i know.As for why; a few reasons which firstly seem obvious eg fitness,self defence,learning somthing different, but i could go to a gym learn to box and read a book for the same reasons.I don`t look for fights i`m not out to be the hardest i`m not interested,but i do wan`t to have the choice to defend my family and friends should i need to.I like to learn the deeper meaning of `form` self defence being a side effect of martial art.The small simple things suprising you.The `internal` art being strong without `strength`.
It`s hard but learning keeps you focused in life.Without goals to achieve you are limited.I don`t really know what i want from kung-fu but if i did and i got it would it limit what i want?is that weird.
2.Patience,it does`nt upload to your brain through a wire`apparantly` ,it takes a long time.I have no time scale in place to meet targets of achievment i`ll just keep going for as long as my teachers will teach me.
3.Random answer but i`ll go for `breathing` not just that in and out stuff you learned as a child,i mean proper controlled breathing in `form` or technique using the most basic tool to it`s capacity only i have a very limited knowledge of how but sifu morgan seems to think its important.
if the right answers were 3 one word answers i`m gona take up american wrestling.
hmmmm, this is intresting. kinda paranoid about getting the answers “wrong” though. oh well, here goes:
1. what do i want from from kung fu?
id like to learn an effective form of self defense so that i can defend myself, friends and family, but also learn classical forms and techniques so that i can improve my technique. similar to what stuart said, i could go kickboxing or do mma, but they’re all very hard and limited in what they have to offer.
2. what the first thing i should learn?
in think respect is very important to learn. when i first started training with sifu bessant and sifu morgan i didnt understand why i wasnt punching pads 500 times or running for 20mins every session, and why i was sweeping floors in horse stance and liffting weights in bizzare fashions. but i quickly learnt to respect my sifus because what they taught me as it ended up improving my kung fu.
3. what part is used all the time in kung fu?
however un-original it seems, im gonna have to go with stu-fu on this one. seems that breathing is very important when it comes to building internal strength. correct breathing seems to help you absorb strikes aswell as giving some bad ass ones back aswell.
Cant imagine there’s a definate answer to any of these questions, but what the hey.
What do you want from kung fu?
This is something that changes all the time, i’ve always liked to do different things and kung fu is very different from most other martial arts. As for being able to defend myself i’ve always had a natural talent for avoiding trouble, as ricky says i “fly under the radar”. my luck will run out one day.
What should be the first thing you learn?
Not quite sure but the first thing i needed to learn was to trust who was teaching me, it took me a while to relax and both sifu bessant and sifu morgan noticed. If you cant trust and respect the people teaching you you’ll be going no where
What part is used all the time in kung fu?
I cant believe no ones gone for the brain, or most specificly your mind. If you dont think about what your doing in a training session then your jus gonna stand there like a melon. When watching the demonstation pay close attention to the foot work and the hands. Then when you practice yourself you should think your movments and repeated them until it’s just muscle memory, this will then turn into instinct so you dont have to think about what your doing and you can focus on a slightly bigger picture, e.g how many people are around you? make sure you dont use execive violence…..
ok sorry i think i’ve just writen an essay, not answered a question. Talking of chan style when is the seminar? I’m going on holiday in july, it will be heart breaking if i cant be there
Stu-fu says:Ok if you would be so kind as to register with Master Kemp`s forum the web address is shin-ga-do.darkbb.com
There is a chan day 29th june not to be missed check the site for more details.
hi all 30th june lol
oh ok 29th add a bad day lol
ive been practicing my forms a lot lately. found a nice quiet place in some local playing fields. get the odd old person walking their dog looking at me a bit stupid but its all good.
im looking forward to the all day chan style now, i want to try an iron out the creases from the 1st chan style form. i think ive got the basics of it, just need to tweek the foot placements now because if ive learnt anything from training its the difference between moving your feet just an inch, sometimes not even that.
Stu-fu says:You missed some good fun stuff rickster,I thought i`d be feeling like a mugged old man today but instead i think the kicking and punching i got loosened up my stiff joints.It was great.I`m sure i even got sifu 2 breathing heavy.By the way sifu 2 i`m lookin foward to reading your answers to master kemp no rush no pressure,and i may bring fresh meat to sunday school a post man,but as you know gettin through the door the first time.probly bottle it.

sorry ive taken so long to answer these 3 questions master kemp my internet has been down but most of all ive been thinking about them.
what do u want from kung fu ?
ive thought long and hard about this question and i dont really want anything from kung fu just to keep training,learning and most of all enjoying…
what should be the first thing you should learn…?
i think respect for your teachers,patience and basics..
what part is used all of the time in kung fu..?
your mind is used all the time in kung fu..kung fu is a thinking mans martial art… hope these are the correct answers master kemp and see you for the chan day…
Stu-fu says: So far as i know names for the chan day are:
1.Sifu Keith Morgan
2.Sifu Adrian Bessant
3.Ricky
4.Lewis
5.Rachel Wachel
6.Daf probly
7.and me.
stu fu… big daf cant make it so its just the 6 of us so far…. il ask martin on sunday if he fancys it..dun think hes confident enough yet tho but il try and talk him round…. cu sunday m8 and try and get riddick to come with you…
is it just me or is anyone else aching from lastnite? if no 1 else is hurting then you wernt doing it rite.ha ha. my abs , shoulders and back from the exercises and my legs and lower back from the practice of the 6 moves from the chan style first form… you will know how that feels stu when master kemp shows you.ha ha ha cant wait 2c your face….
Stu-fu says:no sifu 2 seems maybe you need some conditioning, perhaps you be carrying to much excess muscle `just a bigger target`.looks like Marc (Riddick)wants to come to chan day. seems he`s begining to like sneaky sifu`s, not to keen on that bum stuff though.
Good metalwork class, concentrate on stance/form keeping focus even when distracted by pain. I liked going weak at the knees somthing that should be explored in more detail perhaps.ps big sifu it`s only 6 moves how hard could it be?
hard enough 4u stu fu..trust me.if you do it like you should and a couple of times you will know wot i mean…riddick is only coming to watch me get filled in..ha ha.cu thurs 4 sum conditioning….
are we doin conditioning on thursday then?
i spent 2 hours doing a david carradine dvd last nite. the kung fu part was easy but the tai chi part was quite hard. i combined it with the whole breathing excerise we do(inhale push your stomach out, exhale suck it in)
my guts are aching like a bee-atch today. looking forward to thursday now then im off to sunny sunny turkey for a week.
gonna see if i can find somewhere to train out there. does turkey have a traditional martial art?
Stu-fu says:two simple blocks tan/fook why waste anything.Lets add joint manipulation (painfull abuse) i think these two were soft forms of the technique but later with the knives i`m sure the same blocks changed to hard form,became more of a strike block technique? both ways hurt,soft stuff tends to move your opponent but include a little stance work and then you can really stretch em. Wide horse means very little but sore legs on its own,but using it in form oh yeh thats right! . interesting warm up i love the impossible exersises stretch out then stretch 6 inches further wtf .And Riddick i did say Sifu Morgan`s not interested in how many press ups any of us can do. He only want`s us to do one,…. his way. and my elbow hurts.
i got a lot out of last nights training. really enjoyed it, although i didnt get to abuse stuart.
i was thinking along the same lines as stuart. i thought that hard blocks were the only was to disarm an opponent, but sifu morgan showed me a nice jujitsu/chin na technique that worked well.
i also learnt 2 keep the knife in view, when you cant see what their doing with the knife, it makes it a hell of a lot more difficult.
Stu-fu says:A once in a lifetime offer for you rickster, i will tie one hand to one foot wear a blindfold kneel down backwards and listen to r+b music whilst eating marmite and lavabread. you can use the big stick sifu big bear beats us with to dish as much abuse as you can. in front of the class including big kelly. 7.00 pm sunday
no show you blow!
stu fu… haha you know the ricksters in turkey on holidays .. that sounds like a good idea tho.. sticks it is then for sunday.. no lavabread or bondage just honest training….big daf might take you up on that offer tho… cu and big kelly and riddick on sunday..oh yes more knife work aswell….
i might not be able to join in this sunday i busted my finger last ntie coz of the taxi driver tryed connin me n i jammed my finger ni the door
but i will try to come
Hi all i need to know who is coming up to the chat day(full names and if you what the food )A.S.A.P we have to get the food in and make it of the day so please do get it all in info no tell no can do lol

Ricky `Butcher`
Lewis Lennox
Rachel wachel
Marc `Riddick` Gray
Stuart Roberts
I don`t know some last names so i made em up,my made up ones are probly better.

Hi stu-fu can you please enter it on the shin-ga-do forum and the menu is:

And to drink a tango slap
lol
i think stuart will be stuffed after just the knuckle buttie,lol.
i just got back from turkey today, was feckin warm and im now very tired an am shortly off to bed.
couldnt find anywhere to train there, people kept looking at me stupid and trying to sell me t-shirts when i tried to get info out of them so i just practiced forms on the balcony.
my suburn should be gone by thursday aswell stu so i’ll be brown enough to make you black and blue.
so y u called Ricky if your name is Aaron :S
Stu-fu says:Master Kemp any chance of some spare ribs kickin about at this banquet .maybe you could just knock out somthin quick for me.ps do you now where i could get body armour from cos sifu morgan says i should bring some with me.dunno why?
prediction 4 2nite stu…..PAAAAIIIINN !!!!!! 4 u stu just 2 get me warmed up for sunday..cant wait…
Stu-fu says:absorb deflect no problem for me big sifu plus the regular beatings i get give me condition.
Who beats on you for condition big boy? where`s your chi belly gonna be come sunday.i`ll still respect you on monday even if we do see a grown man cry.
Stu-fu says:Sifu 1,Sifu 2 belts hold up trousers no matter what colour or how many notches.you`ll still be the same nasty sneaky evil f##~~*s that are great,
good luck!
belts hold up trousers. you’ve been watching the karate kid havn’t you stu.

yours in martial arts
Master kemp
Stu-fu says:I`ve been a bit to wussy to write anything for nearly a week after my N.D.E but now i`ve realised that a 200mile safety buffer makes me feel brave so normal service is resumed.
A good days learning ,expected sifu1 -2 to get a little nervous instead of me though.
I like the way the chan edge sharpens your tools, although learning the forms i found really difficult to take in.But thats not to say i didn`t enjoy doing them because they looked very focused and meaningfull when done with a little flow,and thats somthing i like to watch so to be able to do it myself would be fairly cool.
How important are the relax and breath parts of training?even when your not really tired?
And why do sticky hands always stick to my face?
Whats the chan history/story i don`t know if it`s relevant but it sounds interesting,why the secrecy surrounding it.
My legs are hurting again now from last night and no doubt when they are better by sunday afternoon they will be punished by sunday night and so the cycle continues.fun!
nice to see you’ve got your big boy voice back stu.
chan day was awesome but just as my legs were better from the chan form sifu morgan comes around with a big stick an makes us straighten our backs and get lower while doing it. now my legs hurt again
Stu-fu says:big boy voice was always there but big boy brain told it to shut the fuvbk up.
Rickster Are you training tonite or regular once a week enough for you now.maybe you could manage a thursday and then an hour with the kids on sundays.I`ll tell big kel to be easy on you.
keep talking big boy. im back on sunday. and besides, big kel is scarier than you
the chan course was fantastic.. i luvd every minute of it..ive tried to post e reply on the forum but i keep sending it to my self..il work it out one day.. i like the sounds of the weapons means i bought my new sword and the street fighting but also mmoooorrre hand to hand chan stuff so im easy really..oh and thank you 4 the food coz it was fantastic i wish i could av eaten lots more of it but couldnt risk it..thanks again the course was gr8
lastnites training was fantastic talk about soft beating hard..riddick if u wer there lastnite u wud now b a beleiver…..
Stu-fu says:wtf big sifu i didn`t get my regular beating and i`m acheing like a 50 year old man. soft stuff seems more painful. was it form practice or the receiving end of a soft technique. i not sure, but i am sure i`m sore.no problem though i`ll be good by thursday then it`s payback time. o yer
So this is where you all chat, well stu-fu anyway.lol. See you all Thursday.
Stu-fu says:I just realised that by practicing a form over and over it helps you move through one technique to another plus you can add or take away bits from other forms and freestyle a little. (2yrs nearly and yes i really am that quick)
ive learnt spending 50quid on a punchbag is a good investment, but spending 3quid and beating stuart is cheaper and much more satisfieing
Stu-fu says:`satisfying` (maybe i hit your head on sunday)
Stu-fu says:my woman eats steak bigger and tougher than you! think i might pick you up and use you to rep out a few sets just to warm up ready for the big boy on thursday.
tha’s probably the best smack talk i’ve ever heard, but i’m back 2nite stu-fu so i can have a good go at the human punch bag. I’ll be honest i’ve missed your cries of pain
Stu-fu says:COURSE IN NOVEMBER? should be a good one it`s roughly a year since we all saw sifu 1 and 2 feeling the sore end of some training. It`s worth the course fee just to watch.
There`s been a few `threats` about me getting my share this time but somthing i`ve learned from 1 and 2 is people who threaten usually hav`nt got the spine to follow up, the people who `do` just do it.
Stu-fu says:Someone`s only got three knuckles and i have the evidence written on my pec. And guess what i`ve just been for a beefy and i drunk a pint of guinness(with blackcurrant)it`s makin me a bit giddy now but thats ok cos it also makes me rock hard! So Rickster i`ll be there sunday for some pound and ground thing and your gonna squuel this time.but first i`m gonna beat on some girls to warm up.When i`m dun with you it`s big boy next,thats right it`s special powers time.
Stu-fu says:there`s a reason i rarely drink!
Stu-fu says:Thursday class.Don`t be soft be hard,now be soft not hard,now be both.W.T.F ` i will mess with your head` thanks sifu1 your the best!
Sifu 2 somthin i thought about sunday night,somtimes when you roleplay a big nasty man, an aggressive grab a bit of offensive verbal to demonstrate a real life situation i find that most of what i`ve learned leaves through the exit in my arse.I think this is due to the fact that when we train everything is brought down to a fun level,but reality is when shit hits the fan it`s rarely an exchange of pleasantries.
when u get used 2 it it will flow automatically stu.. like the mystical switch..everyones got 1 but sum peoples take longer 2 cum on than others…if u get wot i mean…
Stu-fu says:My muscles betray me,for all their immense power they are practically worthless.I have to find the brain trigger that says `panic must use muscles` then i could move foward.Also the brain trigger that says `panic there an 18st nutter about to hit you`,i think there`s a little neuron confusion taking place when that happens e.g brain tells body `freeze where you are and everything will be fine`. It`s hard somtimes to unlearn what came natural for 37 years and reprogram with what should eventually become instinctive movement.But i`ll just keep trying for as long as my sifu`s will keep teachin. new confusion for my troubled brow `creating and closing space from little movements`
keep it up stu..we will b willing 2 teach u 4 aslong as we can m8… teach u ,,beat u,, and teach u sum more..lol cu 2nite.. time 4 more learning..
Stu-fu says:My fingers and toes don`t ache.
What an evening for education Sifu 1 has demons possess him i`m sure of it.Havin to knock out close to hundred press ups as punishment for gettin kicked in the arse IS goin to teach me to move my damn feet.At one point i thought i was competing with big dav light sparring till captain sneaky was neeling down behind me, a quick shove from dav and i was on my arse,then kicked in it and another 10 press ups.There might be a bill from the sports centre for building repair after sifu 1 banged it with his back.
Am i the only one suffering, am i really that old or do i try harder than everyone else.
Triv you missed a cracker,Martin where?,Simon would`ve enjoyed it,Rachel will be gutted.
Big Sifu we got to do that again just not in this lifetime!
I`m sure the more we train the better we get?
ne time u fancy doing that again m8 just say and i will arange it.. i was aching<dean 2 and ricky as got bruises…. ur old but not that old..keep it up…
the big fella’s just being kind. you are old stu, really old.
ive got some peachy bruises though and my chest had proberbly grown about 30″ overnight from all those press ups
Stu-fu says:The peachy bruises probly from big kelly being harsh wit you. i`ll speak to him to take it easy next time.
Stu-fu says:Punching! I used to punch like a girl, i`ve improved i can probly punch harder than most young boys now.
you can`t beat a good punch and pads workout somtimes, if you don`t get the chance to do punch training out of class then it`s always good to get the practice plus the sneaky kung-fu tweaks that turn a punch to a power strike!.
I don`t get the chance much for punchy stuff while weez is pregnant,but time is running out only six weeks now.Then she can look out.
I`m lookin foward to this thursday to practice short punch/strikes with internal power. Sifu 1 said we`d be learnin it, or is he just mindfunking us?
Stu-fu says:Happy retirement Sifu 1 ,can we train more now? ps thanks again it was a good night. i forgot to take free food though gutter ,it was real nice too. and sifu 2 is a nut.
Stu-fu says:I`m finding it hard to use kung fu when practicing against somone who is not just throwing a punch or a one two,if they can be light on their feet and throw a few jabs it`s hard to stay focused. Do you just wait for the right time or should you create.Or is it hard because it`s usually sifu 1 or 2?.
Will training with difficult opponents inevitably improve me.?
stu-fu /sifu one or two will go into shock if you offer to buy a pint then you can hit them as many times as you like lol
ha ha.that would be correct master kemp..shock it would be… and in answer to your q . stu yes it will inevitsbly improve you.. cu 2nite..
Stu-fu says: You know i`d buy your murphys with girly blackcurrant and a crazy pop for sifu `stark` if only i could get served at the bar.
got to throw the shoulders back and stand like a man stu. u know the score. im in the mood for dancing tonight stu, so prepar for some ass kickery
Can you please let us know asap if you are attending the course next week 9th November. We need to get numbers sorted for mats. Cheers Sifu.
The course is open to anyone any style any grade. Come along enjoy and learn.
Stu-fu says: The word of Sifu!
As long as she don`t drag it out any longer i`ll be there!
I can`t deal with three black bags again.
So if sifu is a count of 1 i`ll be 2 and so on
should be 7 coming with me il av definate numbers 2nite..
Stu-fu says:i`m hopin that the fresh meat ive asked will grow some spine and show for the day.Lisa should show as i think she`s seen the dark side now and likes it,jul should make a guest appearance nev the sex god promised me he`d come and lisa`s brother shane will hold his hand.Neil should bring his bag wa and xing yi,brother-fu and hopfully the dragons will come and make some new friends.
ps sorry big sifu one free shot (make it count cos after sunday i think you may be squishy for a while)
thats a poss 2+7+5+?=14+regulars+contingent from over the border we could be 25 ish maybe more, that be really cool.
stu …il b taking the free shot on thursday ok m8……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..ul b ok 4 sunday m8 coz it will b a soft 1.ha ha
Stu-fu says:Sifu 1 knows to take it easy training when theres just a couple of days to go before sundays seminar.NOT!
I can take the knocks but the dainty skippy stuff and funny kicks just to warm up and a little muscle memory .seems like nothing, but a knock you can rub,my legs hurt all over where do i rub?

Stu-fu says:I`d like to congratulate everyone who was recently awarded their orange sash grade level recently.
Especially me!
I recently stumbled across across a pressure point which nullifies the effect of pressure applied to another pressure point. I was just wondering if there are more of these.I`ll try and find the names of the points i`m refering to so you can try for yourself.
There`s a rumour sifu 1 is actually human as he recently was afflicted with a black eye.
I`d like to point out that he is actually a terminator and so does bleed and stuff,but he don`t break.
Stu-fu says:Top tip for those older types like myself.When nursing those bumps and strains with a bit of kung-fu dip.Try not having a hot bath first,as the resulting fear of self combustion is probly worse for you than the bumps and strains.
you was warned ages ago stu fu…you soon 4get about the bumps and bruises dont you…ha ha cu later..

Stu-fu says:I`m back ,it`s been a while since i last left a comment,damn that facebook .
Tonite was a struggle for me i think i was more preoccupied in my head with fear of hard floor than focusing on training techniques.I must get to class early and get the mats out.As for training some cool moves as usual, also i`m curious about the chi stuff but maybe i should try and get my head round the basics first. `balance is the key, take it`
Please remember the course Sunday 8th November tell uour friends and other clubs are invited.
bad news the hall will be closed for 2 weeks after tonight for the purpose of laying a new floor next training will be THURSDAY 21st September SORRY !!!!!!!

stu-fu says: this comment roll is an area in which you can express your thoughts on the training being given to you by your sifu`s
your comments and feedback about what you are learning helps to create a better training class.your sifu`s can take on board what you are finding good or bad and adjust your specific needs to suit you.
This is a safe area to praise or complain about your martial art class.(until thursday that is)
