Sifu Andreas and Sije Maria at Malmoe Wing Tsun School
Among the many things our Grandmaster taught us was the explanation of heaven, man and earth as concepts for distance and height and also the meaning of connecting the parts of your body but also the separation (The Rocket), a precondition for Weng Chun. The more advanced practitioners where allowed to let off steam while doing “Dim-Chi-Sao” which my partner Sifu Henrik from Copenhagen and I did enthusiastically. At the end of the first day every one had his head full of ideas and exercices and got home with a lot of inspiration. The long break in the afternoon and our dinner at the restaurant gave opportunity to many exchanges of ideas about martial arts and we could all get to know each other more. I got a feeling that the people from Malmö were quiet open minded and interested in new things. I stayed in a wonderful youth hostel for the night.Sunday

On the next morning I headed to the Wing Chun school together with Sifu Jonas Evertsson who lives close to the youth hostel. The beautiful morning an the fresh air immediately rose our desire for training. We used the short walk to the school to exchange ideas about martial arts and arrived at our destination just before the beginning of the seminar.
The program was marvelous again. Sigung talked about circling movements in fights. It was wonderful that again one exercice flowed into another. You could really get a feeling of Lau if your partner was up to the task. I was very happy with the quality of training my partner, a student from Malmö, allowed for. The energy he used when exercising was just right and it was a pleasure to flow from one exercise into another. More and more I got the impression that the trainig culture in the school of our hosts enabled them to have a very instructive training in a relaxed atmosphere. Again and again Sigung compared our daily life and the situation a fighter finds himself in. Unbalance between the external speed of the world and our internal speed leads to stress and a lot of pressure and deprives us of our power. A good fighter always imposes his rhythm on his opponent.

After a quite uncomfortable night we drove to Malmö which is only about 40 minutes away from Copenhagen by car. We were all pretty curious about how the Wing Chun people whould react to a very different and new martial art. At first sight the school made a really pleasant impression and all the people in the kitchen talking and drinking tee spread an easy and friendly atmosphere. It was very pleasing to see so many people from Weng Chun schools in Denmark and England that had come to support Sigung with his very first seminar held in Sveden.
After Sifu Henrik from Sweden had welcomed Sigung, and all of us, Sigung startet the seminar with an explenation about the common or similar things, in our styles, that you can find throughout our history, the philosophy and our movements. He mentioned places that hat been of great importance to both styles for example the red boat or Fatshan. We started the pratical part of the seminar with the first section of Sap Yat Kuen which Sigung used to explain differences in the styles. He mentioned the dragon riding stance, the hole body movement with a special use of our hip that allows for Lau and Ying and Yang to be expressed. Sigung also talked about our different fighting stances and their meaning as well as our footwork.
As soon as we had finished with this part we started with one hand Chi Sao. Sigung animated our new friends to use all the space available in the training room to try “pushing and pulling” while using big steps in order to get a better feeling of “Lau”. Sigung complemented our new friends from Sweden on their quiet noticable ease with which they realized the exercices shown to them. Many of the Wing Chun people from Malmö also train Bagua, Xinyi Liuhe Quan and Tai Chi Chuan which explains their abilities in flowing.

Weng Chun Kuen is a southern chinese kung fu system descendent from the southern Shaolin temple. Many have linked this style to Wing Chun. The name and the style has striking similarities but are two separate systems.

For all who are interested in kung fu and, in particular, Wing Chun, Wing Tsun, and other versions, this is a real highlight. Take the opportunity to create kung fu history in Sweden.
