Friday: Sifu Fong spoke about spiritual development for Wing Chun practioners. The goal is to follow the Universal Way also known as the Dao (Tao). The three components to remmeber are:

• Truth
• Love
• Patience

The above are embodied by the following sayings.

Truth				Love
Be a True Man				Have a Merciful Heart
Speak the Truth				Don't Pick on Others
Don't Con People				Love Helping Others
Admit Mistakes				Do Good Things
Patience
Don't Complain				Take no Revenge
Keep Strong with Difficulties				Take what others cannot

When your physical skill is very good the only way to improve further is to increase your energy levels through the sprititual way. You also need to use more of your brain. Right now we only use a small percent of our brain, but if we can increase our usage we will increase our skill.

The object of spiritual improvement is to increase our energy levels. There are four ways to acheive this.

• Purfiy our body. Increase our good energy though our speech, actions, and thoughts.
• Self Discipline. Follow rules that guide your way of life
• Detatchment. Do not attatch to items or people
• Steady Mind Power. Calm so that nothing upsets your mind.

Tips for Siu Lum Tao.

• Focus on stretching out the facia (connective tissue) to help the energy flow.
• Sink your shoulder and pull your elbow in
• Focus on keeping your head straight. Do not look too high or too low. Try to keep head level and focused forward.
• Keep hips curled to lock the upper and lower triangles together. This makes sure if you are pulled that your whole body will go as 1 unit. You will keep your balance.

Chi Kung Demonstration

Saturday: Consisted mostly of chi sao exercises. Listed below are the various exercises that were covered.

• Rolling with even power in both hands. You accomplish this by having and even stance. If the stance is off, the power in the hands will not be equal.
• Feeling energy. This drill focused on having one opponent attack and the other one root to absorb the newly created energy as soon as possible to learn to control someone as soon as energy increases.
• Moving chi sao (forward and backwards). This drill is teaching to keep your structure when you are pulled or pushed. You must react with proper distancing and your body must move as one unit.
• Closing the Gap. This drill is used to teach students what to do when an opponent comes from the outside. Meaning the short time before touch has been initiated. One student comes in with a Pak Da or a Lop Da and the other student blocks with each hand on the attacker's two hands (one to one) and to be able to apply sticky hands as soon as touch is made.

Sunday: Butterfly sword instruction.
