To whom it may concern,
I started learning Yin Kin Wing Chun (“YKWC”) in the beginning of 2009. Prior to signing up with YKWC, some common online research was done. As I went through several websites / blogs, I finally decided to pay a visit to Grandmaster Yip Fook Choy’s YKWC class in Taman Tun Dr. Ismail. This was merely triggered by a friendly and prompt SMS reply from the YKWC instructor, Kahar Saidun.
The visit was very appealing, as I was able to experience the two YKWC core forms (Saifa & Daifa) and its training methods. I also experienced a very impressive Wing Chun inch punch from the instructor, Kahar. In addition, the people were very nice and friendly, especially Kahar. This visit marked my first class.
Surprises continued to unfold. In my third class, I met the grandmaster, our Sifu, Yip Fook Choy, a reputable, humble, friendly and patient man with an amazing and versatile Kung Fu skill highly acknowledged by the martial arts world. It is truly an honor to learn under Sifu Yip Fook Choy.
Throughout the learning, my enthusiasm for YKWC kept on growing. Starting from the basic stances / foot works to Qigong, then moving on to the seven hands and the eight legs, followed by the core forms, Saifa and Daifa. Every learning stage excited me, surprises just never stopped. It is really learning joy for me to attend classes. It is difficult for me to express how wonderful YKWC is. The energy application, principles, movement, etc, are just so amazing and fascinating to me.
Apart from the joy of learning, I noticed a tremendous improvement in my health. After practicing YKWC, I now rarely fall sick and my usual clinic/doctor visit has been reduced significantly as compared to before. As a result, I had a very high percentage of unutilized medical leaves for 2009 of above 75. This never happened before in any of my previous jobs. This improvement is mirrored by my immune system where I now generally recover much faster from the common sicknesses caused by foods or fatigue, as compared to my condition earlier. Besides, my stamina had also been strengthened, as I can now do double portion of my usual cardio exercise without being breathless like before. I feel energetic and refreshed in almost every area of my life now. These may sound unrealistic or like some kind of magic, but these are truly what I have personally experienced.
Lastly, but not least, I wish to take this opportunity, to sincerely thank Sifu and Kahar for introducing YKWC to me and for patient teaching and guidance. I wish them good health and all the best in 2010!
Regards,
Wing Chun enthusiast cum practitioner from Taman Desa
