Tampa Bay Asia Fest FIGHT Demo – Sifu Och Wing CHun kung Fu

This years Tampa Bay Asia Fest had a fight present, one that challenged the skills of Sifu Justin Och and his Central Florida schools. Tampa Bay Asia Fest had a lot going on that day.  From the wonderful Asian food vendors that come each year to show case their culinary skills.  To the art work inspired by the cultures of China, Japan, Malaysia and even Thailand were present.  IF YOU LIKE KUNG FU MOVIES, Watch it ALL THE WAY THROUGH!

Most Noteworthy, the ENDING is Completely UN-CHOREOGRAPHED.   The day started out with all of these vendors coming together showcasing their regional cuisine.  Sifu Och Wing Chun kung fu group started practicing early for the event.  They were a special guest demonstration on stage for Tampa Bay Asian Fest.

TAMPA BAY ASIA FEST FIGHT DEMONSTRATION BY SIFU OCH WING CHUN

Tampa bay asia fest sifu och wing chun students entertainmentOnce the speakers were ready, it was the Sifu Och Wing Chun Kung Fu group turn to go on stage at the Tampa Bay Asia Fest.  They started with the Wing Chun first form, Sil Lum Tao or Siu Nim Tao.  Then they transitioned into first year students demonstrating their sparring and reaction ability.  Then moved onto intermediate level students, ones that have only been in between 3-5 years.  In addition they moved onto one of our youngest brown sash instructors Neckodemos Davidson. Davidson fought and sparred in the Wing Chun Kung Fu Demonstration against multiple attackers.

Furthermore our Chief Instructor Sifu Justin Och of Lakeland, Florida headquarters and Senior instructor Garret Brumfield perform.  They started with the Grandmaster Ip Man long pole form.  Long pole is also called luk dim boon kwan or dragon pole.  Tampa Bay Asia Fest Sifu Och Wing Chun Kung Fu entertainmentImmediately after this they started fighting in Chi Sau reaction sparring.  This was without any choreography.   It was evident nothing was staged with these two as they demonstrated their free style reaction sparring, within Chi Sau, for the crowd.  Crowed were amazed as the action was packed all the way through.  At the end of this demonstration the Sifu Och Wing Chun central florida group left the stage only to be asked by staff if they could do more.

Tampa Bay Asia Fest Performance

Prior to the Dragon dance performance starting the Sifu Och Wing Chun Kung Fu group, both the Tampa Bay Florida branch and the Lakeland Florida branch practiced along side the Hillsborough River.  As spectators rolled in they spar and fight one another to build up their energy and the enthusiasm Tampa bay asia fest sifu och wing chun studentsof the crowds walking inside of Tampa Bay Asia Fest.  Instructor Garret Brumfield and Master Instructor Sifu Justin Och both train Dragon Pole (luk dim boon kwan) and Chi Sau sparring while onlookers wait and watch in anticipation.

Also the rest of the Sifu Och Central Florida Wing Chun Kung Fu group spar and fight to build reaction before the big demonstration takes place. Most of all, the group loves to train so any excuse to do so is a good one for Sifu Och Wing Chun students.

Asia Fest Shaolin Kung Fu demonstration

Though once the skills from another Shaolin Kung Fu group called Mt. Song started, the tampa bay asia fest kung fu entertainment wing chun floridaSifu Och Wing Chun kung fu group stopped and ran over to watch in support.  The Mt. Song Shaolin kung fu group put on an amazing lion dance and Kung Fu weapon demonstration.  This demonstration was most noteworthy by the graceful and fluid movements of their students.  Not withholding the final demonstration which consequently left the audience stunned.  One of the students bared his body to the breaking of wooden sticks.  With one last strike to his inner thigh while he was upside down (making it appear as though his groin would get the blunt of the blow)  his thigh took the break instead.

Most noteworthy, the Dragon dance that was placed on that day was especially fun as they travelled the length of the event gathering all those around for the festivities about to begin.  The style of the dragon dance reminds you of the Great Wall of China as the dragon spins and curves to follow the golden ball. Chinese drums engulfed the air as they are beaten in the background.Tampa Bay Asia Fest Fight Sifu Och Wing Chun Kung Fu Florida

There was also J-pop dance performances, Asian fan dancing and even a short unspoken Asian cultural play that had many characters that expressed interpretive thought, feeling and ideas through method acting.

TAMPA BAY WING CHUN SCHOOL  | SELF DEFENSE

Tony-Plasse-Tampa Bay Wing Chun Kung Fu Tampa Bay FloridaI have spent the last year training with Tampa Bay Wing Chun School run by Garret and I have noticed improvements in myself.  Garret emphasizes physical training at the beginning of each class.   I have improved muscle tone and stamina.  Wing Chun techniques taught to me have improved my reflexes much to my surprise.

I remember my first introduction to Wing Chun Kung Fu was an Ip Man movie three years ago.  I did not know much about it, but the movie inspired me to research it.  I liked the theory behind and thought it would be more practical for myself.  High flying kicks, although cool looking, are not my style.  When I finally had the opportunity to attend a class near my house I thought, this is great.

The instruction and encouragement I receive is outstanding.  Sihing Garret and Sifu Och inspire me to dedicate myself and continue training.

http://tampawingchunkungfu.com/ The Best Tampa Bay Wing Chun school in my opinion, and I hope to be an inspiring instructor one day.   I look forward to progressing and to be a good representative of Tampa Bay Wing Chun Kung Fu and Sifu Och Wing Chun.

Not just in wrist against wrist but in everyday applications.  I react to things such as doors flying at my face, I caught one with a Jum Sau action.  The lady next to me said “Wow! That was like a ninja!”  I also catch the items knocked off shelves with a lot more ease.  The wrist against wrist drill has helped my sensitivity improve into reaction.  It has given me more confidence in handling myself.  I always knew my normal movements gave me power but now I am learning to channel that power more efficiently through stance and technique.  I am more confident that I’m more prepared for situations when I’m out on the town or at work.   I believe there are many applications I could have used previously in my life as a football player.  Namely the footwork and center line punch drill.  Both would have greatly helped me as an offensive lineman and coach.  It also adds to my overall scariness.

WING CHUN IN TAMPA BAY  | EFFECTIVE MARTIAL ARTS

As the days grow closer to my son’s birth, I look forward to sharing Wing Chun with him.  I hope he will benefit from Wing Chun training developing skill, balance and confidence.  I see Wing Chun as an opportunity to develop father and son bonds.

I would also like to share a little bit of Wing Chun History with you, a southern Chinese martial art mentioned during the period of the Red Boat Opera in the Late 1800s.  Developed by southern Shaolin monks to help combat the Manchurians.  It is influenced by other Fujian martial arts that preferred short steps and close fighting, with arms placed close to the chest and elbows close to the flanks offering protection.  A simple boxing form quickly mastered by dedicated practitioners.  Two key figures keeping Wing Chun system alive after the burning of southern temples were Yat Chum Dai Si, 22nd generation Siu Lam Grandmaster monk, and Cheung Ng, also known as Tan Sao Ng within the opera.  It was taught to other rebels taking refuge with the opera.  From there it spread along the coast and rivers of south-eastern China by people who lived by and on the water.  The Shaolin nun myth was most likely created to protect the identities of the creators and perpetuators of the Wing Chun system.  Wing Chun translates to Spring Chant or Spring Praise.
