SiFu Ray, SiSok David and SiSok Allan went to CWTA Toronto HQ on 16Aug2013 to attend the annual CWTA Barbeque, take private lessons with SiFu Carson Lau, and train with our SiHings and SiDais during the Black Shirt Class.
SiFu Carson Lau reviewed SiFu Ray’s Wooden Dummy form and had him perform it the first time with precise movements, a second time with precision and power, and a third time with precision, power and speed. SiFu Carson Lau then instructed SiFu Ray on the first and second sections of the Wooden Dummy Chi Sau form.
SiFu Carson Lau reviewed SiSok Allan’s Biu Tze form, and then had him warm-up on the Wooden Dummy using double Gaun Sau, Kwun Sau, and Jark Pak Man Sau. SiFu Carson Lau then instructed SiSok Allan on the first, second and third sections of the Wooden Dummy Form.
SiFu Ray, SiSok David and SiSok Allan attended the Black Shirt class where they had several rounds of Lat Sau followed by the intensive workout lead by SiFu Carson Lau.
The following day, SiFu Ray, SiSok David and SiSok Allan attended the Annual CWTA Toronto HQ Barbeque at the Bruce’s Mill Conservatory Park.
We would like to thank SiFu Lau for his continued support of Wing Tsun Kwoon and we also want to thank all of the students at CWTA HQ for a great weekend of Wing Tsun training and family fun!
We apologize for not updating our blog for a long time. There have been a lot of activities and events at Wing Tsun Kwoon during the past 4 months. We have created multiple articles on these and will be posting them during the next few days.
So let’s start off with an update regarding our new location at HiFi Fitness (www.hififitness.com ).
HiFi Personal Fitness is the largest personal training studio in the country. With over 30,000 sq.ft. of space dedicated only to personal training and small group fitness.
HiFi Fitness has the most cutting edge equipment available (Technogym, Freemotion, TRX and Powerplate) alongside old favorites like Kettlebells, Battling ropes, Sledge-hammers and Monkey Bars.
HiFi Fitness has two private studios available for group classes as well as a full array of Cardio equipment.
They have all of the ammenities of a healthclub without the expensive monthly membership fees.
We have been at our new space for 4 months now and we really enjoy holding classes at HiFi Fitness. The owners and staff are very accommodating and are genuinely there to support us in growing Wing Tsun Kwoon.
The HiFi Staff installed both our Wing Tsun wall bags and was as excited as we were in having a Wing Tsun wooden dummy at the space. In addition, they also gave us storage space for all of our focus mitts, kick shields, and gloves. We want to thank the owners and staff of HiFi Fitness for their support of Wing Tsun Kwoon.
Now that we are settled in at our new space, we invite everyone interested in learning Wing Tsun at our new location inside HiFi Fitness at 820 N. Orleans St. Suite 100, Chicago, IL 60610. We look forward to seeing you in class!
The facility we were renting is closing, so we are moving to a new space on July 8th.
We will be located inside HiFi Fitness (https://hififitness.com/new/facilities) at 820 N. Orleans St. Suite 100, Chicago, IL 60610. The brown line is a block away (Chicago Ave. stop) and there are multiple CTA buses that stop right by the area. There is also street parking available as well as a discounted rate at both parking lots for our members. Our class schedule will move to an earlier schedule of 07:00-08:30pm every Mondays and Thursdays.
We have met the owners of HiFi Fitness and their management team today and are looking forward to working with them. We also received agreement regarding installing our wall bags and a wooden dummy at the space.
We will not have classes next week due to the 4th of July weekend as well as preparing the space for classes the following week.

After several months of preparations, we held our first official class at Wing Tsun Kwoon on 18Jun2013. This is only the beginning of the next chapter in our Wing Tsun journey. We are very happy to have new students to guide in their own journey and share our passion for the art of Wing Tsun.
We would like to thank our SiFu Steve Chan (CWTA Evanston, IL) and SiBak Chris Mah (CWTA Northfield, IL) for supporting us in this endeavor and coming to the opening day at Wing Tsun Kwoon.
As part of their visit, they presented SiFu Ray’s official CWTA SiFu T-Shirt.
In addition, they gave us the poster and cards from our Wing Tsun brothers and sisters at CWTA HQ in Toronto. Thank you very much SiSok, Si-Hings, Si-Dais, Si-Je, and Si-Mui for your support and sending us these wonderful gifts for our opening day!
Finally, we would like to thank SiFu Carson Lau. Without his support, guidance and encouragement, Wing Tsun Kwoon would not be possible. SiGung greeted us on our opening day and said 桃李滿門 (“wish your students fill up all spaces in your class”).
SiFu Ray, SiSok David and SiSok Allan are humbled by all of the encouragement and support from our CWTA family. It is because of their continued support that help drive us to succeed. We thank you all!

SiFu Carson Lau visited Chicago from 31May2013 to 02Jun2013 to train the Instructors of Wing Tsun Kwoon. One of the benefits of being a part of the Carson Wing Tsun Academy (CWTA) is direct access to training by SiFu Carson Lau, the highest ranked and most experienced Wing Tsun Instructor in North America.

We would like to thank SiFu Carson Lau for visiting Chicago to ensure that SiFu Ray, Si-Hing Dave, and Si-Hing Allan are calibrated to the same high quality teaching standards set by SiFu Lau. We really appreciated SiFu Lau imparting his business knowledge to us based on his years of experience in running a successful Wing Tsun School.
We have two (2) weeks left before we open! If you are interested in training with us, please register for a Free 2-Week Trial and experience Wing Tsun Kwoon’s classes for yourself (https://wingtsunkwoon.zenplanner.com/zenplanner/portal/freeTrial.cfm).
