New to Wing Chun

[mlairmore]

I am Matt Lairmore, I am 43, I live in Huber, attend First Christian Church of Huber Heights.

This is my second time learning from Master Meng, I originally was in the Tae Kwon Do program and stopped 7 years ago.

Matt,
Welcome to the forum and I am sure Master Meng is glad to have you back. What brought you back and what are the differences as you see it then and now?

Thanks Tony,
Well when I was doing TKD it was with my son and when he quit, I quit with him. I had been wanting to get back into it for a few years but never made the commitment until my doctor told me to do some type of exercise and that was enough.

Main thing I noticed was back then there was more of a seperation between Wing Chun and TDK. We did learn the Yip Man style of sil lim tao but that was as far as the lines crossed.
Now with the more mixed martial art, we are exposed more to both which makes for more interesting and enjoyable classes.

Sifu and Simo have been great and gave me a very good welcome back feeling.

Matt,
Thanks for the reply, sounds familiar I started my daughter at our school when she was 4 and she is still training away. Any chance your son might follow your lead again? The people you train with a lot of them I have met so I know you are in good hands and will enjoy yourself on and off the training floor so relax and enjoy.
