Wing-Chun is a truly amazing and effective southern Chinese Kung-Fu style. It is one of the most practical and popular Chinese martial art systems. Wing-Chun is a perfect art for any possible actual self-defense and combat.
Wing-Chun Kuen, being an advanced and a very aesthetic method of self defense, includes three hand forms, one wooden dummy form, eight kicking principles, the butterfly swords, the 61/2 point long staff, one rattan ring form and the Chi-Sao (sticky hands) training method unique to Wing-Chun.
The famous Wing-Chun drill "Chi-Sao" helps develop the 13 principles in Wing-Chun, such as posture, position, timing, distance, power, the way, reaction, guts, aggressiveness, controlling, decision, reserve and adjustment, as well as mastery over the techniques of the system. When practiced correctly, Wing-Chun will lead to balanced development of the 3 aspects: physical, mental and spiritual .
Wing-Chun Kuen relies on biomechanics and correct use of the body structure and angles, not brute force.
Wing-Chun, therefore, is a scientific yet theoretically based martial arts form. A Wing-Chun practitioner is a professional close-range combat fighter who is able to use defence and attack at the same time. Practitioners utilize well-coordinated angular deflections with simultaneous attacks. A Wing-Chun practitioner is agile yet powerful, delivering quick, close-range punches and kicks rather than locks and grabs.
Wing Chun Kuen is based on the concepts and principles of simplicity, economy of movement, and economy of energy.
This art is a true internal and external system designed so you can learn the empty hand forms and the wooden dummy form in 3-5 years, but mastering the art requires long and hard practice. It is a science in motion that is simple yet explosive.
