The Dragon Institute October 23 at 1:45 PM · The Ritual of the Warrior ... The ritual of the warrior makes no apologies for its mysterious posture and movements. It could care less if a beginner can wrap their mind around its subtle power. The ritual says, “I am not going to make any efforts what so ever to try to dumb this down for you, to make it interesting or exciting for you. Because being a warrior isn’t for everyone. You have to earn the right to be called a warrior by embracing the simplicity of the ritual. Those who fear their own silence and are too insecure to quiet their mind won’t be able to stop chasing the noise. The ritual naturally weeds out people. However, those with the patience to trust the process become a part of something very unique. They connect themselves to the universal truths of the warrior. And because of their faithful practice of the ritual, they gradually transform themselves. Grounded. Courageous. Peaceful. Secure. Most of the world can’t have this. They aren’t supposed to have it. Only the few earn the right. ... Written by Adam Williss

Bloomberg Quicktake September 12 at 12:00 AM · “I still haven’t thought about retiring.” 96-year-old Ip Chun, the eldest son of martial arts legend Ip Man, discusses how Wing Chun has shaped his life and his mission to carry on his father’s legacy.
There's no need to wear sleeves in order to practice Wing Chun. We started wearing sleeves for hygiene purposes (protection against cuts mostly from fingernails, cut down on exchange of sweat, prevention of dummy arm chafing, and the spread of diseases). Now they feel so comfortable training in them they’re kind of like our work gloves. If someone says that sleeves cut down on sensitivity, don't believe them. They neither make you more or less sensitive. Remember that sensitive is about pressure, not simply contact. Sifu Adam Williss wingchunlessons.com
