SiFu Lee demonstrates some basic ideas presesnted to students as they learn how to apply coverage through many many drills:

1. The 3 tan sau's of Wing Chun (http://www.wingchunnyc.com/techniques/qt_media/oh2.sifu.tan.saus.htm)

2. Kwan Sau Bong Gerk idea in coverage against a roundhouse kick (url=http://www.wingchunnyc.com/techniques/qt_media/oh1.sifu.cover.1.htm)

3. ]kwan sau idea to cover a high roundhouse kick (http://www.wingchunnyc.com/techniques/qt_media/oh2.sifu.basic.rhouse.htm)

SiFu Lee tells us, "no one can teach you how to fight, you have to learn yourself." He insists that experience is the only teacher and an Instructor's purpose is to guide the student down that path where that switch will go on and you 'get' it. You have to earn it. There are no secrets, just hard work.

In our school, we have many drills that have to be performed over and over and over and then a few more times. This method of training helps students to gain the coordination, reflex and feeling to instinctively recognize where they're under attack and to respond with the appropriate technique to cover the exposed gate in the manner and ways of Wing Chun's simultaneous offense and defense.

The students can train to fight once they learn these types of drills.

enjoy,
Marcus
