Seminar

Dynamic Martial Arts is sponsoring a Leung Ting WingTsun® Kung Fu Seminar this weekend in the Chicago suburbs with Master Will Parker.

Master Parker is a 6th Level Practician.  He is the highest ranked instructor in the North American Section of the International WingTsun Association, so this is a great training opportunity!

The seminar will be Sunday, June 8, 2014, from 11AM to 1PM and 2PM to 4PM at the Wheeling Park District Community Recreation Center, 333 W. Dundee Rd., Room 201-202 in Wheeling, Illinois.

In addition to the regular seminar on Sunday, there will be an additional training session for advanced students and instructors (9th Student Grade and up – “black shirts”) on Saturday, June 7, 2014 from 3PM to 6PM.

Please note that the “black shirt” session on Saturday is at a different location.  Saturday’s “black shirt” session will be at Des Plaines Martial Arts, 1367 Oakton St., Des Plaines, Illinois.

See you at the seminar!

Great Grandmaster Leung Ting executes a Wing Tsun Wooden Dummy technique

On October 29-30, 2011, we had another great Leung Ting WingTsun® Kung Fu seminar with the Great Grandmaster of WingTsun, Dr. Leung Ting, at our Wheeling, Illinois school in the Chicago suburbs.

Prior to the seminar, the Grandmaster stressed privately to Sifu Mike Adams that this time he wanted to really emphasize that the concepts of WingTsun are far more important than what techniques are used physically.  He emphasized that most people continuously chase after the next program, believing that if they only knew a little more, then they would be good.  But actually it is not about how many techniques you know or how advanced those techniques are.  The simplest technique possible is actually the most advanced technique if you truly know how and when to apply it, and why.

Great Grandmaster Leung Ting said that this understanding is actually part of training for the higher levels of WingTsun, the Practician levels.  Once you have learned the techniques up through the Technician levels, then you must continue to practice the techniques until you really get the concept and can master the simplicity.  Though the Practician levels are commonly thought of as the Master levels, the real secret to these levels is in the title of Practician.

During the seminar, whether teaching an advanced application drawn from Biu Tze and Wooden Dummy techniques or the most seemingly basic applications, Great Grandmaster Leung Ting tried to emphasize this perspective.  If you were at the seminar, he hopes you were perceptive enough to get the real lesson underlying all of the drills.  If you got it, that’s great!  If you didn’t, we hope you will take the time to ponder the real lesson of the seminar.

A number of people were promoted to higher levels by Great Grandmaster Leung Ting at the seminar.  We would like to congratulate the following people for their promotions:

• Sifu Brian Carter was promoted to 3rd Level Technician
• Sifu Guerman Atanassov was promoted to 3rd Level Technician
• Mike Treleaven was promoted to 2nd Level Technician
• Ben Stevens was promoted to Primary Level Technician

Thanks to everyone for coming to the seminar!  We hope that between the seminar and this post, you have a lot of food for thought, and that it helps you take your WingTsun to the next level.

Great Grandmaster Leung Ting will teach a WingTsun Kung Fu seminar in the Chicago suburbs on October 9-10, 2010.

Dr. Leung Ting was the last closed-door disciple of the late Grandmaster Yip Man, Bruce Lee’s instructor.  He is the Chief Instructor and founder of the International WingTsun Association, the  largest  Chinese  martial  arts organization in the world, with branches in more than 60 countries.

He is the author of many best-selling martial arts books, including the authoritative text on WingTsun, WingTsun Kuen, widely considered one of the best martial arts books ever written.  This is your opportunity to train with a living legend!
