Steve Hunt 2016 Student of the Year

Steve Hunt 2016 Student of the Year

For many years we have awarded a member of the UKWCKFA the Student of the Year trophy. The winner for 2016 was a simple decision and went to Steve Hunt of the Rayleigh school.

Steve came to Wing Chun later in life then most, and has struggled at times to get to grips with the Art. However, he is a always smiling (and apologising to his training partners, actually just everyone!) and is not one to quit.

Steve had to work particularly hard to pass the second UKWCKFA grading. He took it upon himself to use the Rayleigh HQ on Sundays when no classes were on. His enthusiasm finally gathered a small core of students for extra training. This group went on to successfully pass the test. 

Not content with this he wanted other colleagues to take the test and kept the Sunday commitment going. He selflessly helped others to pass the test by giving them the chance for extra practice. We all know that it takes a lot of effort to get people motivated and he did just that.

He has built a great class spirit and every person agreed on how much he deserved the award. All martial arts schools would love a student with his nature and we are just lucky Steve came to us.

The trophy is a large cup, Steve is seen here with something to keep…

From one extreme to another. (Sparring to Fancy Art) The beautiful 'Art' of Wing Chun Kuen has long had the challenge of training the Hong Jong or Empty Dummy. Quite a challenge to do well, it forms a part of the UKWCKFA 5th Grading syllabus. Only 4 people have ever taken and passed this grading. Many students have completed the formal art through to the Butterfly Knives, but don't wish to take any gradings beyond the 2nd test. The UKWCKFA is rare in that we only have two gradings that are required to learn the complete Art. The rest are personal challenges. ... See MoreSee Less

We noticed the longer video clips are not proving popular. Very few of you demonstrate the stamina to last more than a few minutes. As a result we are trialling this shorter extract (from a recent zoom presentation), and will gauge your feedback. Please feel free to let us know what you prefer in the comments. And on a SERIOUS MATTER....If you mysteriously find that you enjoy this material, despite trying really hard not to... please take that extra step and push the 'LIKE BUTTON. It is just the modern way of saying 'thank you', and manners cost nothing.In this clip from a recent live zoom session James Sinclair was discussing his experience with using the elbows. Some of this clip was relating to the Cham Kiu theories too, not just striking. This is but a tiny fragment form a far longer discussion, so please accept that it is easy to take this out of context and it may leave you with more quiestions..... That is not a bad thing, talk to your teachers!!!! All teachers love to be asked questions in class. Not here through Facebook!#ukwckfa #stneots #rayleigh #bedford #leicester #martialarts #kungfu #wingchun #chisau #clinching ... See MoreSee Less
