Wing Chun is a conceptual based system; for example, if you’re
using a tan sau for something and it works without being collapsed, then use it
that way. Otherwise do not use it that way, as its flawed.
Wing Chun does not use techniques, these are set of moves
that fit together to meet specific scenarios. If your training this way your
setting yourself up to fail, we don’t read minds nobody knows what’s coming at
you until it arrives.
Your best Wing Chun will be seen before the end of your life,
it will never be complete or finished, but you will have learned what works and
why it works which puts you ahead of those that are taking the same journey. A mans wing chun is like a fine wine it gets better with age, and the quality can be clearly seen from beginning to end. This
is what makes the grandmaster, a culmination of a mans journey to learn from
his passion.

ReplyDeleteWing Chung is Martial Arts self defense system that focuses on fighting and to channel energy to counter the opponents fighting techniques. It recognizes the difficulty that is associated with pressure during an attack and focuses not on offense but mainly on reactions. One counter attack to respond to your opponent’s move as a reflex; and to force and speed up the attack direction based on tactile information. Tactile information is interpreted faster than visual information by the brain hence your reaction time will be lower giving credit to the technique.
ReplyDeleteFighting principles
Wing Chun Kung Fu has eight principles that combine to enhance ones adaptation to the fighting style, strength, technique and size of an attack. It focus primarily on centre: your center and defending your balance while attacking your opponents center and destabilizing it; and finally being the center of the attack in order to use the opponents techniques to your advantage. These principles include four fighting principles and four energy principles.
Fighting principles include:
Going forward – strike first if you can when attacked; this will often act as a surprise to your attacker.
Avoid hands and arms and stick to the opponents’ center and destabilize it.
Yield to greater force – stronger opponents can be defeated with evasive reflexes to their strong attacks.
Follow through if your strike is met with a retreat. This generates momentum and disorients the attacker.
Energy principles include:
Give up your force in order to be relaxed. Being tense makes you defensive which may work against you.
Redirect your opponents force by evading especially against stronger opponents.
Use your attackers force against him which requires little effort on your part.
Add on to the attack with your own force to give your attack more magnitude.
