Personal Development through Martial Arts Podcast

Jim Roselando is a Wing Chun Illustrated Columnist and Noted Wing Chun Researcher and Historian, he is also the Founder/Instructor at Gulao Boxing Association, a Master at Sifu Mui's Martial Art Association, MIT Qigong Club, Harvard Qigong Club, and an Instructor at the Brazilian Martial Art Center Boston.

I got a chance to ask Jim, from a historical point of view, about the accuracy of the story/lengend of Wing Chun being created by a woman. His answer brought new perspective to my understanding of Wing Chun.

I enjoyed spending time and talking to Jim very much, learning about the specifities of Pin San Wing Chun, Dr. Leung Jan's Wing Chun, and the benefits of training and punching with an elongated body.

The story, that I enjoyed most was hearing about how Jim hired a Private Detective to find the man who would become his Wing Chun Master.

Nima King started practicing Wing Chun in Australia in Sifu Jim Fung’s Wing Chun Academy in 1998.

He came to Hong Kong in 2005 to continue his practice with Jim Fung’s master, Grandmaster Chu Shong Tin and continued to train under him fulltime for 9 years before he passed away in 2014.

Out of all the non-chinese disciples of Grandmaster Chu in the past 60 years, Nima has spent the most amount of hours training under him.

Even after his passing away, Nima still trains at Chu Shong Tin’s school and is one of the senior instructors there.

He is also on the board of directors of the 'Chu Shong Tin Alumni' which was set up by Grandmaster Chu himself to ensure his teachings is preserved and passed on after he passed away.

Nima has been teaching Wing Chun for close to 15 years and founded his school 'Mindful Wing Chun' located in Hong Kong in 2009.

Since the start of his Wing Chun practice up to now, Nima has dedicated his life to Wing Chun and continues to practice and teach over 50 hours every week.

Dr. Mark Phillips began his study of Wing Chun in 1986 under Master James Sinclair. Now after twenty seven years of professional teaching, he is ranked as one of the leading instructors in the UK Wing Chun Assoc and is a registered instructor with the prestigious ‘Ving Tsun Athletic Association’ in Hong Kong as so.

I really enjoyied talking with Sifu Mark Phillips and listening to his point of view regarding Wing Chun.

We talked about using Wing Chun in challenge fights, teaching, overcoming plateaus and how each of us can contribute to the Wing Chun community.

I was pleasantly surprised to find out how humble and warm he is, despite the very effective self-defense videos you can find on his YouTube channel, Fight Sicence.
