5 & 6 May 2007: GARY LAM’S FIRST HOLLAND SEMINAR

Sifu Gary lam has excepted my invitation to give a two-day seminar in the Netherlands. After an inspiring seminar
of him last September in the UK (see photograph album), now also the Dutchmen have a chance to meet him.
Sifu Lam is an extremely skilful fighter and coach and it is an unique occasion of receiving training of one of the
head trainers from the WSL lineage. He is also accompanied by one of his top students, Ernie Barrios. Sifu Lam
is as Ernie calls it "a real power house". The topics: `fighting strategy’, structure, Chi Sau, po Pai and spar-exercises
will make his vision on Ving Tsun clear in no time. There will ‘hands on training’ and sufficient time to ask questions
directly. His enthusiasm is contagiously and motivating, but he gets really started through the response of the
participants by asking questions and `doing’.

Sifu Gary Lam (Lam Man Hog) has been teaching thousands of students for over 20 years. He started his training in
1967 with the world renown Wong Shun Leung and trained with him exclusively for 15 years. He was Sigung Wong's
head coach in Hong Kong for 6 years. He also assisted Wong Shun Leung on the instruction DVD ‘the Science of
in-fighting’. Sifu Lam is one of the worlds leading experts in Wing Chun Kung Fu and like his teacher honed his skills
in tournament fighting and personal self-defence experiences. He teaches Wing Chun Kung Fu and Muay Thai Boxing
at his training institute in Monterey Park, California. More information about Sifu Gary Lam on his website:

Hey Ernie,

Thanks for the offer. Most of my guys like to 'do' more than 'write' I guess. I'm hoping there will be many questions asked when  Gary is around, that would interest me. Good interactions, training and discussions is what I'm hoping for. And raising a glass with you of course!

no drinking until after you guys kick my ass ,,,,, or maybe i should drink during to dull the pain   

Lets share the pain and drink together.

Greetzzzz,

Barnoud.

Yo R!

When can we meet in San Diego 

Hi guys,

A huge THANK YOU from Belgium to Sifu Gary Lam and to Ernie for this great seminar !

We came back home with the head full of things to meditate and to practice... 

Of course, we do not forget to thank Gert-Jan and his team for giving us this opportunity...

We look forward to the next event !

......although I was not able to follow the second day of the seminar I want to say (like Shaam already did in the right way) the following words;

This seminar was very interesting, inspiring and cool. It was a great pleasure and a big honour for me to meet sifu Gary Lam and Ernie Barrios in person and learn a couple of amazing techniques from them. The whole filosophy behind it (the five elements theory) was a real eye-opener for me!!!
Hopefully you will come back to Holland again!

Thanks also to Gert-Jan...which is always in controll by organizing these kind of big events at a very professional way! 

greetings from Peter Faling
(school Amersfoort)
