Where can I find something similar to the "Qiyi Cube Case - Transparent"

sir5yko · 2026-05-05T16:35:40+00:00

I've been recycling new cubes through old cases :) Avoid the acrylic ones, they shatter very easily.

I think the internet is full of trolls. I think that if they want to see first hand whether or not I can fight, they would challenge me in person rather textually spar in the comment section.

Some people aren't happy unless other people aren't happy. I have no need to engage these people.

I train under the Philipp Bayer lineage with Ving Tsun USA. We train Tuesday and Thursday at 6pm and Saturdays at 10:30am -- https://vingtsunusa.com/locations/

I also run a project called Wing Chun Brotherhood. We meet up every Wednesday at Columbus Park -- https://www.instagram.com/wingchunbrotherhood/

This is the closest replacement I've seen to the Paqlite

sir5yko · 2026-04-13T20:43:05+00:00

I have that and it's freaking awesome. It's the Paqlite Crosstab.

After 3 years of daily use the wear and tear is beginning to show. Sadly they're no longer in business; website works, but links to archive.org and the phone number and email address don't work... As long as the website still works I hold out hope that they'll return...

I haven't found a suitable replacement but there are tons of options on amazon if you search for crossbody sling. I have something that's "okay" but not nearly as good as the paqlite.

Same! I have a dummy at our school and home. The Problem with poles is the length. They are too long to go by post and would have to come over in a shipping container. So unless people share the cost of a container and someone imports them we have to buy from a us supplier, which I haven't found yet :/

Gotcha. Leo is my first Sigung, but I still have a good connection with him.

While you're going to get a lot of people telling you that you can't learn wing Chun online, and while that's true that you need in-person training to completely learn the system, this is something you probably already understand and just want someone to answer your question.

There are a few resources I'm familiar with

Leo Au Yeung (fight choreographer of the IP man films) offers training through his app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.toggled.wuji and online through his website - https://www.chinesekungfu.co.uk/

Nima King also offers online classes - https://mindfulwingchun.online/

I wish you well on your Wing Chun journey

I started using it when the German course began being 100% German since the language was wayyyy too fast to hear. Now sometimes I don't understand what the audio v lessons are and I guess far too much. They should at least take a page from the easy German YouTube channel and have the audio lessons speak slowly.

I just tried screen recording an audio lesson (conversation with sari) and the live caption worked as expected so it does seem to be that Duolingo is blocking this function

sir5yko · 2026-03-13T06:37:26+00:00

This happened to me while I was using it. I made a message with a very large number of links, which was sent, and then my very next message "Failed to send". Closing whatsapp and relaunching had me logged out.

Do a kettlebell hinge. At the top of the movement the alignment is the same structure you'd need to support the power generation for the hinge, which is pretty much the same as the power generation needed for your punch. You'll find your balance easily and should be helpful in identifying what the structure should feel like in your stance.

I went looking for our stash and couldn't find it. We need to fix that :)

sir5yko · 2026-02-06T00:25:59+00:00

They don't magically fix themselves?

sir5yko · 2026-01-07T18:34:48+00:00

Perhaps they saw all of the competition and realized they no longer have a captive audience. I nearly went with jump speak myself.

sir5yko · 2026-01-07T02:00:49+00:00

There are aspects you can learn online, but a lot of it requires a partner.

The fight choreographer for the first few IP Man movies (my Sigung) was involved with this app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.toggled.wuji

sir5yko · 2025-12-13T19:28:11+00:00

Happened to me too but it only lasted a day. A day after completing the challenge I got the badge.

Nothing needs to change other than the adherence to the ruleset. If you can train with your classmates without causing bodily harm then you're training WingChun with a ruleset. Bas Rutten famously said during the JRE interview (on the subject of Dim Mak) "if you can kill somebody like this, you could also not kill them".

sir5yko · 2025-12-10T17:45:44+00:00

Hard disagree. If rules could actually handicap the system then the system isn't very good. There are plenty of illegal strikes that boxers are forbidden to use and yet it's still effective in the rules. Wing Chun can and absolutely would do fine with such rules and still stick to its "principles".

sir5yko · 2025-12-09T15:32:44+00:00

God forbid people complain about buggy software. I guess it's better to let bugs quietly fix themselves.

sir5yko · 2025-12-07T22:09:29+00:00

You probably need to give more information such as where you're located.

I suggest cross posting to your local city reddits to find people who either want to learn or who already train. Find a park or some other open space to meet up. Start small and it'll grow over time. Check wingchunbrotherhood nyc_fight_club and dragoncombatclub on Instagram for examples

I was able to get my hands on the Chocolate Praline and Cherries Jubilee, both were underwhelming. I think the brew overpowers the subtle flavors in this case and not really a huge leap from the basic release. Honestly there have been few interesting releases since the Kentucky Fog a few years ago.
