Issue 92: October 2026

Issue 92 of Wing Chun Illustrated features Sifu Ed Blom. After more than four decades in Wing Chun, Sifu Blom still approaches the system with the curiosity of a student. He reflects on the doubts that once pushed him to explore other systems, the turning point of meeting Sifus Wong Shun Leung and Philipp Bayer, and the maturity to start again despite already being an established teacher. Ed also shares his thoughts on training, sparring, teaching and preserving the principles that give Wing Chun its identity. What emerges is not simply the story of a martial artist, but of someone who still believes progress comes through questioning, hard work, continuous refinement and becoming a little better than yesterday.
