Students comments:
I really enjoyed Sigong Mike Baker's visit to Beccles. I learnt a lot
from him polishing two of my qigong forms. He gave some great advice and
pointed out some very useful (and subtle) things.
I look forward to
incorporating it all into my practise.
Thank you,
Martin
"It was with great anticipation that we awaited Sigong's
third annual visit to our class in Beccles. As usual the wait was
definitely worth it. It is amazing at how Sigong is able to explain the
subtleties of Wing Chun and Qigong in a such a simplistic and easy to
understand way. Each question was answered in depth and with a
demonstration. Sigong's frame belies his power which is incredible. In
one Wing Chun demonstration he performed a simple push that felt like
I'd been knocked over by a small car...amazing!
The
clarity that we learned with regards to Wing Chun and Qigong was very
important. These tiny little adjustments make all the difference to our
forms and it is astounding how you manage to always find something that
you'd never really noticed before when watching Sigong.
The
only complaint that we have is that someone seems to be moving the
clock hands forward, as the time went so fast that we couldn't quite
believe that two hours had gone by in what seemed like the space of a
moment.
We are
looking forward to Sigong's return visit next year, and look forward to
learning more about the arts that we love so much whether it be Wing
Chun, Chun Yuen or Qigong. Many thanks for your help as always Sigong,
and many thanks to Sifu for arranging the seminar.
Kind Regards
Eric and June Paule
I learnt alot from Sigong's visit. Now I have to try to put into practice what I have learnt.

Another great Seminar, I was able to see the nuances of Wing Chun from a different perspective.
More please!

'Really lovely to see Sifu back for his third year. Sifu managers
to relay simply how forms should be and so the learning process is
deepened for the experience. Much to digest.
