New Opportunities

 Occasionally change happens on your journey.  Sometimes this starts off as a negative, but often you can turn this into a positive.  

For a while now, life has become more expensive and I was starting to get a little worried about the cost of operating the training classes.  However, after some searching things might turn out for the better.  One door closes, another opens basically. 

I've agreed to start renting another space for a more affordable tarrif starting in June 2023. 

The venue is a little bit smaller than what I currently use, but the training will instead be at a dedicated Martial Arts school!  The venue is tailor made, has all the equipment available we could possibly need and more.  We'll be training at the facilities of Newton Abbot Martial Arts

All in all, that gives me hope for the future, and the environment hopefully works inspiring to the current members.  It will hopefully help in additional exposure to the art and perhaps result in new members over time. 

Onwards and Upwards.

Ving Tsun Book

 I know, this blog is primarily about Jeet Kune Do.  I would do you a disservice if I didn't briefly touch upon the imminent release of a great new book on the martial art of Ving Tsun (also spelled Wing Chun). 

Bruce Lee trained in Ving Tsun from age 13 under Ip Man, but it was one of Ip Man's senior students who did most of the teaching to Bruce, Wong Shun Leung.   

Now a book on this art in Wong Shun Leung lineage is being published, co written by my own Jeet Kune Do instructor, James ter Beek.  

How do I know it's a great book if it's not even published yet? 

Aside from the fact that I know he's a good teacher, I've also helped a little bit in proof reading some of the text etc so I have had first glance on the content ;-)  Believe me, this book will have pride of place in your library.  Pre-Order here.
