Looking for the Lost Internal Power of Wing Chun

August 28, 2025

I'm taking another breather while I do some behind the scenes work to set this site up to live a long life. I have been working to move this page in a way back in time. I don't want to have to spend a lot of money (and thus feel like I need to figure out how to get the page to earn some money) keeping it going. I started this in 2012 and there is a lot in here about my 20+ year Wing Chun journey. Now I'm branching out from Wing Chun into internal arts (although these new arts seem to be curving back often to open some doors to why Wing Chun does things the way it does) and this is going to take a LONG time! Internal arts take longer to learn, for sure.

I've taken this site off the Wordpress system it was on and am now writing it in HTML by hand - very old school. While I am up-to-date on new tools like Chat GPT, I think we are all going to find that we will soon yearn to find some human insight and advice amongst all the output from the Large Language Models. We will are already swimming in their output and its only going to increase. This page will be hand-crafted and based on my own experiences."

The new articles will be spaced out quite a bit. I am not interested in sharing something until I have made progress - signficant progress - and the progress is slow at the moment. But now I am in no hurry, This site now costs me $60 a year to maintain, so what do I care? If you want to know how I did it, check out the article by Derek Sivers called "Tech Independence."

For now, I can tell you that what I am learning requires me to relearn how my body works and recalibrate how I do things. From my crown to my feet, from how my muscles work, and how I train, its all different now. I believe when I start to make progress, I will be able to help bring come back to Wing Chun some tools and skills it once had and discarded. These tools were discarded because they took a lot of time to learn and implement. But I think these are skills you need when you get past 50, for sure, if not earlier. I believe this is what Chu Shong Tin was teaching. He found it through long meditative practice of the Siu Lum Tao. It is possible to findelements of internal just by standing for long periods and watching the body.

Anyway, I will write something as soon as I have tangible repeatable results that I can practically communicate.
