Personal Development through Martial Arts Podcast

Dr. Jack Ling started his martial arts journey with ‘Natural Style’, an earlier form of internal Tai Chi. He started Wing Chun with traditional training, where he learned nothing else than the first form for several months.

When he is not treating his patients he focuses on developing his and his students’ Wing Chun skills and also does standing mediation to stimulate the circulation of Chi/Qi in his body and for his health.

What I enjoyed most about talking to Dr. Jack Ling is listening to his fighting experience with other high level martial artists and how he uses Wing Chun in his therapy sessions to unlock people’s potential and help them live more balanced and healthy lives.

Sifu Mark Stas started learning martial arts from books. His parents felt that he was too young to start training, but he felt so inspired by martial arts movies and anime that he decided to study martial arts books by himself, despite not understanding the language they were written in.

What followed were years of training in Shotokan Karate, Taekwondo, Bruce Lee’s Jun Fan, Muay Thai and Wing Chun.

My favorite part of the interview was by far Sifu Stas' story. Most Sifus out there try to look like they are invincible and forget their also human.

I enjoyed to see that Mark has a great sense of humor and is a very well balanced human being.

Sifu Dave Richardson started martial arts, like most of us, because he was bullied at school. He has trained in Wester Boxing, Muay Thai, but Wing Chun remains the closest to his heart.

He also worked in security for several years and he says that the best is always to try to talk your way out of a difficult situation. If that fails, than you should immediately use your Wing Chun skills at their full capacity.

I’ve enjoyed hearing about a few training methods that will allow your Wing Chun to come out for a self-defense situation and I feel inspired to include them in my school’s curriculum.

Sifu Martin Brogaard, represents practical Wing Chun in Denmark. When he was a kid he would very often get into fights, until his father decided to enroll him in a jiu-jitsu class.

In the beginning he didn’t really see how he could use his training in an actual fight, so he decided to change a few different martial arts styles, until he found Wing Chun…

I very much enjoyed his enthusiasm while telling the story of how he met his Sifu, Wan Kam Leung.

The most valuable thing I got from talking with Sifu Martin was the importance of choosing the path that is most congruent with who you are and dedicating yourself 100% to that.

What was the most valuable thing you got out of listening to this episode?

Sifu Donald Mak has started his Wing Chun journey in 1979, when he was 17 years old. After studying styles like Hun Gar and Choy Lee Fat, he decided that Wing Chun was more suitable for him.

38 years later, Sifu Mak shares how to more easily understand and practice Chinese Martial Arts.

My favorite part of this interview was the idea that you should not limit your motion or your Wing Chun to one specific application. When using your imagination, you understand that one motion is limitless.

Sifu John Fung started Wing Chun in 1987, in Sydney, Australia. He felt that he needed a way to better cope with multiple opponents, after facing a group of gang members, that’s how he decided to change his training method.

He now trains extensively in Tai Chi and Wing Chun and feels that the two arts are complementing and feeding each-other to the extent that they have become a natural part of the way he moves.

I enjoyed listening to how you can develop Fajin internal power to improve your Wing Chun and overall martial arts skill. I’ve learnt that there is a connection between ego and external, muscle power.

Sifu Eszter Kovacs started training Wing Chun when she was 12 and started teaching when she was 18 years old. The only thing greater than her courage and ambition is the love she has for her family.

I very much enjoyed listening to how she manages her professional and personal life and I there is a lot value in this interview for you if are passionate about training Wing Chun and you have a family or you plan on growing one.

Also, I was very happy to find out the connection between the Wing Chun forms and weapons and the 5 Elements in the Chinese Philosophy, namely: water, wood, fire, earth and metal.

Sifu Della O'Sullivan fell in love with Wing Tsun ever since she started training the system in 2006. Despite growing up in a household of martial artists, she felt more inclined towards dancing and gymnastics. However when she found the philosophical side, how it can change you and help you grow and that the technical side was really practical she instantly wanted to learn more about Wing Tsun.

Today she teaches Wing Tsun in Dulwich, South London, where she has also taught children of all ages in local schools, she has ran women’s self-defense classes, taught specialist bodyguard classes and led countless public demonstrations both in the UK and abroad.

When I announced it to my students that I will be interviewing her, they sent me a bunch of great questions that they were very eager to ask her.

I especially enjoyed her answer to the question ‘What keeps you going?’, which I found to be very inspirational.

Sifu Sergio started Wing Tsun because, as he says: 'I was the biggest Bruce Lee fan'. After finishing the Leung Ting Wing Tsun system, Sifu Sergio decided to start his research and find his own path.

He advises having an open mind, to broaden your horisons, so that you don't become stuck on your journey.

We talked about internal Wing Chun, the different types of Qi (Chi, internal energy) and was thrilled to hear Sifu Sergio teach similar Personal Development principles that we teach in our Empowerment Wing Chun school, like writting down your goals and being determined to achieve them.
