Wing Tsun Kung Fu - Blanchardstown 詠春

Wing Tsun Kung Fu - Blanchardstown were proud to award Liam Smith and Sean Mulder their 1st Higher Grades (Blackbelts) last night. Liam started training with us in 2004 and took a break for a few years to raise a family, etc. Sean started with us in our kids class around 2017 and both have been good training partners for each other over the last few years. They have also been very generous with their time and help teach others in class.

While they have been continually assessed over the last few months, last night was their official examination. They were tested on their Siu Nim Tau and Cham Kiu forms, Chi Sau sections 1 - 4 and sparring. Both passed with flying colours.

They will now start working on the material for the 2nd Higher Grade which is the Biu Tze form and Chi Sau sections 5 - 7. Congratulations again Liam and Sean.

A big congratulations to Sean Coogan on being tested for and awarded his 12th student grade last night. He was examined on his Siu Nim Tau and Cham Kiu forms, Chi Sau, non striking restraint and knife vs knife techniques. This is the last student grade and he will now work on the material for the 1st Higher (Blackbelt) Grade over the next year or two.

Classes are at 7.30pm each Wednesday and beginners are always welcome.

A big congratulations to Billy Markey who tonight was awarded his first student grade in Wing Tsun Kung Fu. Billy has been training with us for the last few months and while he has years of experience in other martial arts, he was able to “empty his cup” and start Wing Tsun from zero. He has been able to “free himself from his own force” by relaxing his antagonistic muscles and all of his movements have become more fluid and smooth.

His progress (along with everyone else’s) is down to three things.
1. A hardworking student.
2. Dedicated instructors.
3. The simple logic of Wing Tsun itself.

A very big congratulations to the following students who successfully passed their Wing Tsun examinations last night.
Arthur - 4th SG (Student Grade)
Catherine - 2nd SG
Dmytro - 2nd SG
Enea - 2nd SG
Ermes - 1st SG
