Read post for details ✨️
THE GATES ARE OPEN
This year, the Rob Ley Academy Annual Chi Sau Competition is being opened to adult practitioners from all Ving Tsun and Wing Chun schools and lineages.
This is not a challenge between schools or a comparison of lineages. It is an opportunity to meet fellow practitioners, test our structure, sensitivity, centreline control, balance, timing and composure, and enjoy a respectful day of Ving Tsun together.
One Adult Open Chi Sau Division — Ages 18+
There will be no separate weight, grade or experience categories. Everyone will compete under the same published rules, with excessive force, uncontrolled techniques and poor conduct penalised.
Date: Saturday 5 December 2026
Competitor sign-in: 9.30am
Competition starts: 10am
Venue: Rob Ley Academy, Unit 9A, Long Rock Industrial Estate, Long Rock, Penzance, Cornwall TR20 8HX
Entry: £10 per competitor, contributing towards the prizes
Registration closes: Sunday 15 November 2026
Awards will include:
• Open Chi Sau Champion
• Best Technical Performance
• Spirit of Chi Sau
After the competition, we will continue with friendly Chi Sau, shared training and conversation. We will finish the day with an optional Chinese meal together.
This will be a closed-door martial arts event, not a public spectator event. Attendance is limited to registered competitors and instructors or members of participating academies. Independent adult practitioners are also welcome to register as competitors.
No politics. No ego. No lineage rivalry.
All schools. All lineages. One respectful floor.
To receive the competition rules and register, please send me or the Rob Ley Academy a direct message.
Please share this invitation with your Sifu, instructor or school.
