Weekend Ving Tsun Training at the VTSDA

Great wide-view photo of the school.

Suddenly I realize as I was downloading the photos you guys took today, I couldn’t help but hear that corny old Carl Douglas song, “Everybody was kung fu fighting….”

It was so great to spend the day teaching meditation and tai chi and then have lunch with the Ving Tsun family, including some of the Iowa branch. (even if you guys were a little bit sweaty after all your wing chun!)

New Classes: Self Defense for Ladies and Gentlemen

We may only be half-way through Sept. but it’s not too soon to think about starting your self defense training this October. Though of course, late monthly starters are always welcome. (Join after the 15th and we pro-rate your tuition.)

Now that the Halloween candy and decorations are in stores it won’t be long before the winter holiday season is upon us. We certainly like to focus on the positive aspects of holiday time but the truth is, holiday shopping season can also be a time of greater opportunity for smash and grab type theft.

From News Radio 710 KEEL website about purse snatching story http://710keel.com/tags/purse/

So, when you are out shopping please be aware of your surroundings. If someone tries to grab your stuff, weigh how important the stuff is VS your life. Might be best to let it go. If someone grabs you with intent to harm, it’s best to be prepared to do something that at least would allow you to get away fast. If you start training now you could be in a much better position to do just that if the need arose during the coming holiday season.

An ounce of prevention, as the saying goes…

Check out our website. Read the reviews and please, give us a call. Sifu Matt is happy to answer your questions.

You should be able to find all basic info about class times, pricing etc. is on the web site. If you have any trouble finding your way around the site, we’d like to know that too.

Thanks.

Wishing you a safe and happy fall season.

Sifu Matt Teaches Ving Tsun’s Bong Lop with Turning the Waist

Check out this short video of Sifu Matt teaching bong sau/lop sau with the essential aspect of turning the waist, (Yu Ma). (Thanks to student, Joseph)

If you want to defend yourself effectively, it’s pretty important to get out of the way of the attack but still be in position to come on with your own attack (counter attack) and then hopefully get out of there with no one hurt too badly.
