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…

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

It has been a minute since we last posted anything. If you find that, despite trying very hard not to, you actually enjoy the clip, please put aside your partisan feelings for the briefest of moments, and click the LIKE BUTTON. Whilst we create the long form video for our zoom subscribers, we still have work to do to create these short extracts.Creating this content is time consuming and as we are human a little feedback may inspire us to keep going!!!On a hapier note... we are still going strong with our zoom viewers joining us from Australia, Canada. In this short extract James Sinclair discusses the basic punch and Paak Sau, commonly known as Paak Da.One of the most basic techniques.... there are just so many ways to use this technique.#wingchun #ukwckfa #leicester #bedford #stneots #rayleigh #kungfu #martialarts ...
