TO BE VULNERABLE

Immediately during the first lesson at WuDae I got a very good feeling. The style and way of teaching, the environment, everything seemed to be right for me. It was exactly what I was looking for and what I felt good about. The solidarity within WuDae is actually the best thing about this school. Everyone has their own learning process and that is respected...

A beautiful 2021 and to everyone the best wishes  / Wing Chun!

Last week training last part of the third form, Biu-Tze! These days 5-th section wooden dummy! Every online class: first form, warm-up, cardio, stretching, and much more… ????

LEARNING BECAUSE OF RUNNING AGAINST A BRICK WALL

A few years ago it was all about investing for me. I was doing business in my own dance school and also a dance training with a good friend of mine. I trained a lot and learned a lot, became physically stronger and in addition to my activities in the Netherlands, I was active worldwide in giving workshops and performances...

Rain yesterday, rain tomorrow... from today WuDae raincoats available in navy blue. A great purchase for the new year!

FREEDOM AND BUSINESS SENSE

The happiest moments for me come with achieving something. For example, I have to think about passing my VWO and completing my education at the Haagse Hogeschool. By being there at the end of a learning journey, I could show myself, my parents and everyone around it what I had achieved. Completing the learning pathways gave me a sense of freedom and open possibilities to do what I wanted...

From December 15 we will go to the Zoom. Online Wing Chun lessons every day from Monday to Friday from 7:30 PM to 8:15 PM...

A TECHNICAL FIGHTING ART

The first time I noticed what a technical martial art Wing Chun is. Precisely because of the combination of attacking and defending at the same time, I noticed that I became calmer. This allowed me to really let go of work for a while. For me that was exactly what I was looking for. A sport that makes you physically and mentally stronger...

CHRISTMAS 2020

This year we had to adapt quite a bit to be able to continue to offer Wing Chun classes. First with the online and outdoor lessons and now with open lessons with free walk-in, “private” lessons for everyone instead of group lessons and an extra extensive class schedule. This allows everyone to continue to train as much as possible and we want to keep it that way during this Christmas holiday.

BIRD PHOBIA

I've always feared that something might happen to my siblings, but the only real fear I've ever had is bird phobia. If I heard those beasts flutter when they came near me, I was about on your neck. Last year that fear disappeared. I was on vacation in Zanzibar and was standing at an ATM when suddenly a man approached me. With his hand outstretched he walked over to me “money, money”, at the same time he was tapping the ground with a machine gun.

TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY COMING OUT PARTY

On July 1, 2009, when I was 16, I came out. Although I had decided to take it to my grave out of shame, I couldn't keep it to myself that day. I told my mom that I liked girls, I cried because I didn't want her to be ashamed of her children. She responded with: "Well Saartje, that's not bad at all, is it?"

The new WuDae drinking bottles have arrived. Double-walled 600ml in white, anthracite and black. For hot and cold drinks.

Do you also like it so much? Get it quickly!

VERSATILITY

Contrary to my background, I am a teacher by profession. During my study International Business Management (Commercial Economics) at The Hague University of Applied Sciences, I never thought I would ever become a teacher. My classes vary in different subjects and I teach at different schools so I have to deal with many different children. Intelligent and fun children, but there are also quite cheeky students among them. When I explain my passion for Wing Chun they become curious and because of my enthusiasm they only show more respect. And that gives satisfaction. I think Wing Chun therefore also offers a solution as a lesson in secondary schools, who knows, you might also be able to combat bullying.

A promo video put together by Alex (https://fotosapiens.nl/), one of our students. Always nice to see how creative others are!

The new changes regarding the COVID-19 measures were announced on Tuesday 17 November. The bottom line is that everything will be reverted to the measure of 15 October. So max 4 people train as a group and max 30 people at the same time in the school. For further information see the October 15 2020 update at https://www.wudae.com/en/more/covid-19-update. See you soon, WuDae

THE ART OF HAPPINESS
Of all the people who are influential in my life, I think I dread the Dalai Lama the most. When reading his book "The Art of Happiness" I realized how I can recognize and find myself in this. I am sure this is also the case for others and can recommend it to everyone. The book's spearheads, compassion, understanding, and acting out of love, have changed my outlook on life. It has given me the angles to go through life more thoughtfully and patiently.

We are hard at work developing and releasing new merchandise. Have you already spotted the navy blue hoody among the members? Also available as a sweater and in the white and gray version.

A BREAKPOINT
Eight years ago my relationship ended badly. The worst thing for me was that I was unable to see my son for a while. Luckily he was too young to remember but for me this was the most difficult moment in my life. The first 3 years of a child's life are fundamental and enormously important in my opinion. Fortunately, my son and I have everything back on track. I do an awful lot with my child. When he is with me, it is never boring. From cooking together, playing football, watching movies, cycling, gaming, crafting and experimenting. I actually take him everywhere. He looks up to me and I enjoy from him, he is a wonderful and cheerful child.

From October 15, there are open classes for members from Monday to Saturday from 09:30 to 12:00 (one hour longer for the home workers) and from Monday to Friday from 18:00 to 22:00 (half an hour longer than regular lessons). The group lessons are canceled. Members can walk in freely during these hours. Training takes place without contact and with a distance of 1.5 meters. During this period, no trial lessons will be given and no new members will be registered!

Two photos of our gym at Loosduinsekade 12. Then in 1981 a post office and now, for nearly 20 years, WuDae. One of the few elements that is still present from the time of the post office is the safe where the women's toilet is now. With the hinges of the vault door on the side of the training room still there.
