We are very excited to be a part of a new international organization that's mission is to prevent and deal with bullies and it uses wing chun thinking to do it.  We have already been impressed by the help we have gotten from their support volunteers.

We are looking forward to speaking to schools and preschools in the area to help spread the great information.  If you are interested in having a presentation, please send an email to info@victorydefensesystems.com . We will be looking to add a web form in the near future. 

We are trying to build as many likes for our Wing Chun Against Bullying, Ohio Chapter page. Please help us grow it. The idea is to have great information and impactful photos/graphics to share to help stop bullying.

Please like the fb page and help us spread the great information!

Thank you,
Adam

Happy New Year - Year of the Ram

2/18/2015

Gong Hey Fat Choy!
Happy New Year!  Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, we are moving into the year of the Ram/Sheep and out of the year of the Horse. I hope that we are all staying warm this week and I wanted to talk a little about this very fun and family oriented holiday in Asia. For most of us, its a little unusual that there could be different new year celebrations.  The reason Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year is more of a floating/moving holiday is it is based on the lunar cycle and not the revolution of the Earth around the sun. 

Explore some Chinese New Year Traditions!

Picture
Luck Money or Hong Bao 
It is customary for family members (parents and grandparents) to give unmarried children "lucky money".  Lucky money is a specific amount of money in an even number amount, even numbers are lucky.  It is given in a red envelope because red is a lucky color.  Traditionally, white is the color used for funerals and is associated with death.  Also on the red envelopes are symbols associated with luck, wealth and prosperity.  
Click Here for the Wikipedia source. 

Picture
Tangerines and Oranges 
Oranges are also eaten and given to family and friends.  Because of their color, oranges and tangerines symbolize gold.  Also, in Chinese, Tangerines sounds like "luck" and Orange sounds like "wealth". Giving someone one of these awesome fruits, you are wishing them wealth and prosperity for the next year.

Picture
Lion Dancing!!!
Lion Dancing is also customary to see during New Year Celebrations.  Performers or troupe are from local Kung Fu Schools.  As in the picture above, there is drums, cymbals, and at least 2 performers in the Lion.  Sometimes there is a completion between kung fu school to see who has the best moves and who can overcome the hardest obstacles.  During the dance, the lion(s) try to find or reach a lettuce bunch, this is were money is put.  Once the lettuce is in the mouth of the lion, the money is taken out and the lettuce spit out, before another lion tries to go for the money...
Usually, based on the color of the lion, one could infer the style of Kung Fu of the School. The color of the beard of the lion could tell you the age of the teacher - black for a younger school/teacher, white for a well established/"experienced" teacher.  I added a clip below to watch.  If you start at the 3 min mark, the dancing is in full swing.
Have Happy New Year!

Wow!  It's has been an exciting and fast paced summer!  It's hard to believe that we are almost in the last week of August and July was a action packed blur!

I wanted to take the time to thank all of our students, their parents and families for another year of fun times, good training, and expanding our capabilities. Without you our classes and programming would not exist!

So how exciting has this summer been for us?
We held: 1-Race Sponsor/Obstacle Course, 3-one-week camps, 1-half-week camp and maintained our summer classes.  Adding all of those events/classes for this summer, we have trained over 200 people! (A record breaking summer for us)


So here are some pics from the summer!
