A one of a kind event was held recently at the IWKA HQ in Amsterdam on the 7th of November

Siu Lam Wing Tjun Grandmaster Cho Kin So (GM Sunny So) from Hong Kong, the last student of the late Grandmaster Tang Yick held a two day seminar. And if that was not enough of a treat, the Grandmaster of the IWKA Sifu Sergio Iadarola managed to bring two other exceptional Kung Fu sifu's to Amsterdam, Yip Man wing tjun Grandmaster Allan Fong and multi-styled kung fu expert and research historian sifu Clifford Ip.

The two days were a huge success with around 130 students being taught the wing tjun kuen form also known as the Sap Yat Sao and its two man sets a program usually reserved for the leadership classes of the IWKA Schools.

On the second day a selected group students of Grandmaster Sergio's master class were taught the Heaven and Earth mook yan chong (wooden dummy) forms in all its details and in application.

During the seminar time was reserved for the students to ask questions resulting in some nice displays of kung fu and Chi Kung Healing by Grandmaster Allan Fong and Sifu Clifford Ip.

Two days after the seminar Grandmaster Sergio Iadarola left for China to meet up with Grandmasters Tang Chung Pak and Cho Kin so and kung fu expert and historian sifu Clifford Ip to visit the Fei Lo chi Temple in Ching YU were the abbot Chi Sim taught the Luk Dim Poon Kwan (6.5 point pole techniques and the seung kong chong kuen (the highest siu lam wing tjun form) to Tang Jau more on that in the next update.
