Schools of Kung Fu Chelmsford City

Word of the Week: Fear

Fear stops more people than failure ever will.
Most people don’t fail because they can’t do something…
They fail because they never try in the first place.

In training we see this all the time.
Students afraid to grade.
Afraid to spar.
Afraid to make mistakes.
Afraid they’re not good enough.

But confidence doesn’t come before action…
It comes after you face what scares you.

This week in class we remind our students:
Don’t let fear destroy the dream.

This week’s challenge…
Do one thing that scares you.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing mums in our Schools of Kung Fu family 🌸

Shout out to the mums who…
✔ Drive to class every week
✔ Sit in the car waiting for training to finish
✔ Know the grading dates better than the kids
✔ Wash the uniform 100 times
✔ Remind them to practise
✔ Pay the fees
✔ And still hear…
“I don’t want to go today…”

Then 45 minutes later they come out smiling like nothing happened 😄

Special respect to the mums who have also heard…
“Did you bring my belt?”
“Did you bring my water bottle?”
“What time is class again?”

We don’t just train the kids…
We train the parents too 👊

🧡 Here's what reader Tom Kirby from the U.S. had to say:

“I've purchased copies of Wing Chun Illustrated before and always enjoyed the articles, but what really stood out was the magazine's quality. I ordered this hardcover edition because my Sifu, Alton Miller, was on the cover. When my copy arrived, I was pleasantly surprised by just how premium it felt – the binding, paper quality, and even the packaging were all top-notch. I also received a friendly email from Eric, the publisher and Editor-in-Chief, personally checking if I was satisfied with my purchase – an exceptional touch of customer service. Now, time to dig in and enjoy the read! I HIGHLY recommend WCI Premium Hardcover editions!”

We are proud to share that our very own SiFu Kul Rai, National Instructor for England, is featured on the cover of Wing Chun Illustrated! 🥋

This special feature dives into SiFu Kul’s Wing Chun journey, his passion for teaching, and how the art continues to evolve while staying true to its core principles.

“Wing Chun should evolve with modern martial arts, not by changing principles but by refining teaching and application. Training must involve pressure, varied attacks, and prioritise function over tradition.” – SiFu Kul Rai

A huge thank you to our amazing community for the constant support – this recognition is for all of us at Schools of Kung Fu Essex! 💪

Sifu Sergio has just released a new video: “Generate Power like a Master to stick and seize – Use your Dantian!”

In this lesson, he explains how to generate powerful, rooted energy by using the dantian, a core concept in internal martial arts. The video includes step-by-step guidance and clear demonstrations to help you develop real sticking and seizing power in your Wing Chun or Taiji practice.

This is a must-watch for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of internal energy and structure.

Happy Father’s Day to all the incredible dads in our Schools of Kung Fu Essex community.

Today we also take a moment to honour the father figures in our martial arts journey – the masters and teachers who have guided us, challenged us, and helped shape who we are both on and off the mats.

From the parents who support their children through every class, to the SiFus who dedicate their lives to passing on this art, we are grateful for the strength, wisdom and patience you show every day.

Thank you for all you do.

Honouring the 80th Anniversary of VE Day – 8 May 2025
Today we remember the courage, sacrifice and resilience shown by so many during the Second World War.
