I know it has been a long time since my last blog entry. I figured I have been attending so regularly that my schooling of my classmates was education enough. However, this week I will not be at the Dojo. Left only to Sifu Trevor's instruction you will likely fall short of your potential in my absence so I have decided to write this blog to help supplement your training.
General advice for everyone. Elbows! I know Sifu said they are only for third set students, but honestly I can't think of a better way to work you skills then to repeatedly try to elbow your classmates in the sternum or forehead. If you find you are too tense then you will relax into it after a few hundred of them.
Advice for Haden: Eat more meat. I mean really -- you are kind of skinny. You may be relaxed but even Wing Chun (the 16 year old asian girl) must of had 20lbs on you.
Advice for Dave: Come to class (not this week of course, but next week when I am back and can help you out).
Advice for Fred: (See advice for Dave).
Advice for Michael McConnell (See advice for Fred).
Advice for Jerry King: You should have never moved -- because I will never be in Dallas to teach you.
Advice for Michelle: Actually you are pretty good... but a few less privates with Sifu and few more with me and I think that could push you to the next level.
Chuck: I think you are over thinking the whole Wing Chun thing -- just throw some more elbows and you will be fine.
Charlie: I hope you like wearing my Black Sash. It does look good on you and I can tell it helped your confidence.
Haley: Dave already gave you too much advice the other day so I won't bother.
Nelson: Stop stretching and eat more fried foods. I think you depend too much on your athletic talent in sparring and that impedes your true Wing Chun technique development.
Well, I hope this helps everyone out and now I am off on my vacation and my lawn care seminar.
Yours Truly,
The Actual Master of the Dojo,
Howard
P.S. Chad -- Get a haircut. And John, I am waiting for you to apply the last set of corrections before I offer you any more advice.
