Ernie Barrios coaching a mitt flow with Jason Gowan
On Saturday 14th November 2015, I have arranged for some of our team to go down to ABMVT London (Sutton) to experience the Applied Body Mechanics Ving Tsun method first hand via one of their "Discovery Days"
The camp will begin around 12.30pm and run until around 5pm giving Jason and his guys a good time period to run us through some of their modules and training cycles, how they train their VT in comparison to what we have been used to and what to expect in training from now on.
It will also give us opportunity to ask any questions we have regarding their approach and the transition to this method and get to experience a typical training session.
I myself have been down to train with Jason Gowan and their crew the last two weeks and am 100% certain already I have made the correct choice in joining the ABMVT family, both for my own growth and development as a martial artist and coach but also to give my guys the very best opportunity to develop to their full potential in VT.
Jason has a wealth of martial arts experience and many years of Wing Chun/VT training and coaching behind him. Following him leaving Kamon after experiencing a WSLVT weekend gathering seminar (on my recommendation ;) - he learnt the hard way, privately with Kev Bell for over two years and was certified to teach WSLVT under David Peterson before himself transitioning to the ABMVT method under Ernie Barrios and has not looked back since. I can vouch that Jason is now a very good, thorough coach indeed.
This method of Ving Tsun "needs" to be felt to be fully understood, its all too easy to view a clip or two and convince yourself this is nothing original and that most schools are doing this, but you are very wrong. In over 20 years I have never experienced such a high level of skills and coaching nor an environment that fosters those skills and gets near instant results with everyone who takes time to open up, let go of their ego and preconceived ideas and work with these guys.
It should be an enlightening day for those who travel down for sure.
Jason has also agreed to come up to us one Sunday and coach a session for us in the new year (Feb/March time) for anyone who cannot make this Discovery Day, and im hoping Ged Kennerk, Adam Gerken and Adam Cope may also pay us a visit in the next year or so also.
Heres to a bright and promising future and as always remember, you get out what you put in..no more no less. Work hard, have fun and we can develop as a team of friends whilst gaining some real world skills that may save our skin one day!!
