    Drunken Eight Immortals pictures


    Hi Guys,

    It’s taken me a while but here are some pictures of the amazing Drunken Eight Immortals course!

    I loved this course; one of my favorites of all time, the Kung Fu set was just so complete!

    I only managed to get my camera going on one day, so if anyone else has some good pictures of the course please post them on this thread, I’m sure we’d love to see them.

    The first picture is of Sifu and entourage arriving at the venue before a Drunken 8 Immortals session.

    Happy times.

        • Group investigation into Drunken applications.

          (Roland, I think you'll like the picture of you below!)

          The next batch of pictures shows some group shots of participants working through combat applications form the Drunken 8 Immortals.

          This is a fantastic method developed by Sifu to get us all thinking about the combat uses of some of the very interesting patterns within the Drunken Set and always very interesting results.

          1. Chris P and Leo in the foreground, Chris is performing the take down it also look like Yua Hua (grey T shirt) is performing a wrestling shoot on Sham (blue t-shirt)

          2. Immortal Li’s crutch kicks in action, in the foreground Max and Jas (Max in red T-shirt) and Chris and Leo having fun in the background too.

          3. Jas, Max and Sifu Tim working on applications

          4. Kam (Green T-shirt) Marshal and Brendan (throwing) working on throwing techniques.

          5. Andre (on the floor) Sifu Roalnd (reverse riding) Sifu Anthony and Chris D, all having fun with some of the ground fighting techniques from the Drunken Eight Immortals

          • Partner work

            Next are some pictures of partner work, again the aim is to work out just some of the applications from the form.

            I think this next set of pictures superbly shows the huge array of techniques included in the Drunken set. Here you can see, a throw with a joint lock, an arm bar and more.

            It’s also worth noting that this whole process is done with a cooperative spirit of good will, it’s not a fight but a joint investigation into the applications.

            I love these pictures


            1. Omar and John A, Omar is locking and throwing

            2. Mark T is bars John M’s arm.

            3. Marsahll kicks at Brendan

            4. Andrea locks up Mike

            5. Nick R Kicks and Tim

              • Next is the Demo test.

                Next is the Demo test.

                After developing the ideas for the applications into a sequence the next step is to demonstrate them in front of the class and have feedback from Sifu as to whether the applications are successful or not.

                In the first two pictures we have Chris Pearce and Leo

                Next two pictures are Jas and Max

                The last is Christina and Mark B

                  • Sifu gives feedback.

                    Sifu gives feedback.

                    After demonstrating the new sequences in front of the class Sifu will often point out the flaws in some of the techniques, show how they could be improved or an alternative method.

                    In the first three pictures Sifu shows an escape from arm breaking technique, with Mark T and John M.

                    In the last two pictures we can see Brendan throw a chopping attack at Sifu and Sifu then turning the tables masterfully.

                    Thank you again Sifu for an amazing course!

                    Best
