Along with Wesley Hodgson of somnambulant.net, we talked Cycling (Wesley) and Strength Training (Me) with a group of conference participants. Here I talk a bit about working out when away from home.

Video overview of the Wing Tsun System:
The below 7-part video is of a demonstration done by Wing Tsun Master Emin Boztepe. Sifu Emin goes throught the basics of the Wing Tsun system and demonstrates how we deal with all five ranges of combat (kicking, punching, knees & elbows, grappling and groundfighting). This is the best such demonstration available and will give you a real and thorough introduction to this great self-defence system!
