For the second straight year, I, along with some of my fellow local Wing Chun students (and others from out of town), had the opportunity to train with Wing Chun Sifu Francis Fong from Atlanta along with his exceptional student, Kevin Lee, at Sifu Mark Mills’ Columbia Martial Arts & Fitness facility. The six-hour Saturday seminar covered a multitude of topics, with a heavy emphasis on partner training that focused on, among other things, protecting your centerline and keeping your elbows down and in. It is simply amazing to watch Sifu Fong’s seemingly effortless actions that control and twist Lee this way and that. He is truly a master. If you ever have a chance to training with Sifu Fong, don’t hesitate to do so. I can’t wait until next year’s seminar. Pictured below are (left to right) Kevin Lee, Connor Foxworth, a local Wing Chun student under departing (to New Jersey) Sifu Keith Mosher along with Sifu Fong and myself.
