I was largely inactive on the forums in 2023 and I can't promise that I will be more active in '24, but I did want to check back in and at least send a greeting. Nice to see some of you still at it.
Seattle saw a significant contraction in Wing Chun schools coming out of the pandemic. The two oldest continuously operating clubs seem to have closed their doors, though I suspect some of them are hidden away training somewhere.
My club did make it back, but I lost some students. We are small by design, so I'm usually fairly closed off, but we're raising our flag locally and have had a few calls and visitors.
I am still enjoying training and teaching and have no intention of closing my hands.
I hope you are all banging away as well!
