Nord Wing Chun

I have not forgotten you all.
And I will keep my promise to start posting some content on the NWC Channel again.
But unfortunately my work and travel schedule has been really full for the last few months, and now I am taking a couple of months off with my family to just unwind a bit.
I also need this time to speak with my family, as what I intend to post from here is less about techniques or even Wing Chun (directly). It is more...personal. And it involves them so I need to talk to them first.
What I want to talk about includes:
What lessons have I drawn from decades in the martial arts?
How have they helped me in my life?
Have they held me back?
What mistakes did I make and what did they cost me?
So I intend to share my life experiences.
Both the positive ones and the very painful ones.
And for that reason, I need some time with my family first, especially to talk to my son - he deserves to hear and ask questions to me directly first rather than find out indirectly from YouTube.
I intend to share some of the most personal aspects of my journey, not because I feel that I have some "ultimate path" for others to follow, nor that I have "all the answers".
But I think I have worked out some of the signs of false roads and "dead ends" that you can end up taking in Life, and by sharing them, I hope that perhaps I can save someone else from that pain.
So in a small way, I hope through my channel that I can be of service to the wider community.
And that is one of my key goals in Life.
So I apologies for this delay, but I will be back in a few months.
Until then, take care and my best wishes to you all from me here back in my homeland where my journey began a long time ago.

First international visitor to the school in nearly 2 years - so glad that Andreas Keller found time to visit and train again during his visit to Sweden.
Great session of training, and a great dinner and discussion thrown in too!

Hope this starts your weekend with a laugh.
While it's all very well to put an emphasis on skills development, that is not to say that you should totally neglect your health and fitness.
And I've certainly been guilty of that at times!
Have a good one everyone.

I've been travelling the last week, and killing time while in transit I came across this discussion about dangerous animals that are found in various parts of the world. And someone wrote that they weren't a gun person, but they'd definitely buy a gun if they were visiting a particular jungle region.
Then someone wrote back and this really stuck with me.
"I'm a gun person. If I think I need a gun to visit an area, then I don't visit that area".
Now that stuck with me, because it's a way of thinking that is very much in sync with my own beliefs.
I remember asking a friend of mine some years ago about a women's self-defence course she was taking, and she said to me something like, "I'm doing this course so I can walk and go wherever I like".
My reply was, "If that is how they are selling this course to you, you should quit that course immediately. I've trained and practised consistently for years, and I don't go wherever I want, whenever I want. If they are telling you that an 8 week course is going to give you that ability - LEAVE! And get a refund."
Now I was thinking about these issues because I was visiting a part of the world that I hadn't been to before. And I was in meetings until late each day, but after that, I badly wanted to go out and explore the local area.
BUT, before I did that, I made an assessment of the risks, the local environment and crime rate (my own checklist is far from perfect, but it includes things like the amount of graffiti or vandalism to the smell of urine in side streets - yes, I know not scientific but there is more to it than that).
Long story short - I was out, had no issues and had a fantastic trip.
But my point is that just as I often note here, training and practising martial arts does NOT mean that you should think that you'll be fine in a street fight, nor should you ever fight if you can safely walk away.
And linked to that is that training in martial arts does NOT mean that you should stop being cautious. That for example you can walk down a dark alley as a shortcut home, especially if you've been drinking. Or not think about heading out alone in a strange city into unfamiliar areas.
My view is this - don't let anyone convince you that being aware, being smart, or just being plain cautious is the same as being a coward.
It's not.
Being cautious is just not being careless.

Recently on my personal page I was discussing "fallen icons", specifically Steven Seagal. Of course we all have flaws, but the purpose of martial arts training is to seek to reduce them, whereas Seagal's seem to grow and inflate as he ages (which I suppose just adds more fuel to the debate of "does that dude ACTUALLY practice martial arts?")
I suppose you could debate that topic for hours. Or you could just sit back and watch this and laugh for 5 minutes.
I've made my choice.
Have a great weekend everyone.
