Dear Students, Parents, and Friends

Grand Master Garrett Gee, inheritor of the Hung Fa Yi Wing Chun System, will be coming to Dayton on Friday October 20th to Sunday October 22nd. During his visit, we will be having several special events:

A dinner for Disciples and Instructor Certification Program Members on Friday night
A two-day public workshop on Saturday and Sunday open to all Adult students
A public dinner/banquet on Saturday night, open to all students and families

This is a great opportunity to meet the Grand Master of our kung fu family. He's been involved with martial arts since he was 5 years old, learning his family's kung fu system. Grand Master Gee's father, Grand Master Peter Kim Ho Chu, was a direct student of many famous masters in China and holds the title of successor to many rare types of kung fu. Grand Master Gee's Grand Father was the General in charge of the Wong Bo Military Academy, similar to West Point here in the United States.

Dinner with the Grand Master is a fascinating time as he shares many stories from his life in China, growing up under the Cultural Revolution, and learning martial arts both inside and outside his family's kung fu. If you can't make the workshop, it's a good idea to attend the banquet.

The topic of the workshop is going to be on the Ng Lonn Ying Jong Faat, the Five Wheel Reactional Drill. This exercise is a stage in the Kwan Sau Kiu Sau. Kwan Sau Kiu Sau is part of the Sei Bun Dim Kiu Sau (4 1/2 point kiu sau) logic flow in training. Sei Bun Dim Kiu Sau is taught in several progressions, spread over 5 grades:

Sei Dim Bun Kiu Sau, 4 1/2 Point Kiu Sau
==========================
Fau Kiu Kiu Sau (Grade 3)
Faat Sau Kiu Sau (Grade 5)
Deui Ying Kiu Sau (Grade 7)
Bong Laap Kiu Sau (Grade 8) - the half point
Kwan Sau Kiu Sau (Grade 9)

Ng Lonn Ying Jong Faat, five progressions
==========================
Ying - Shape
Chung - Force
Lau - Flow
Saat - Strike
Fa - Neutralize


Even if you have limited Kiu Sau experience, this will be a great workshop - a real eye opener in terms of understanding Kiu Sau, energy, and inside the box training. We recommend that attendees are at least Grade Three but any Adult students can attend.

In preparation for this workshop, we will be having a series of three (3) special classes to prepare students to gain the most out of training under the direct supervision of the Grand Master. These special classes are free for registered and paid workshop attendees and will include history, philosophy, etiquette, technical terminology for inside the box training, and drilling correct body mechanics. Each class will be 2 1/2 hours long, each.

Grand Master Gee visits only once a year us once a year so let's plan to make this a great weekend!

In order to attend the special classes free of charge, you must register and pay for Grand Master Gee's workshop ahead of time. You can register for both days or one day. There will be no half-day option this year.

Start your planning now and get registered ASAP!

The schedule for the special classes will be out the 2nd week of September.
