There is always a solution to a misisng hand

So how does a guy with one hand over come the problem of wielding the weapons of wing chun... hear's how.

Over some time might i add i found a suitable tube that would fit over the end of a wing chun pole, i did not want to make somthing that would only work with one pole it had to be universal.

I then took a peice of computer bag (shoulder strap) and wrapped that round the outside to make a soft slot for my stump to go in to, I could not screw in to the tube as that would stop the pole turning so i found some large hose clips, and below you can see the finished product in action.










So what about the knives, this was a challenge and still need further development as can't perform secions 7 and 8 of baat cham dao as they require knives to be flipped and turned at odd angle of which my stump arm can not do. i also developed some pain my stump from heavy knives so i had to switch to aluminium, i then took some plumbing pipe that would fit over my stump and left a lip on each end via cutting it, i then made a whole on each end and put it between the grip as it was a central spindle and screwed the handle back together.


Portugal 2012 - WOW! what a turn out

Back in April 2009, i made a group of new friends which i now call family, this was the first trip that GM Samuel Kwok had organised to portugal and look at the turn out that first year.










Now here we are 4 years later in 2012 and look how its grown...









Over 90 people attended this year, all i can say, is it's truly amazing to meet so many like minded souls following the wing chun spirit.

This is a trubute to you guys well done!
