Wing Chun
adopts a very linear approach to attack the opponent using a
simultaneous block and hit strategy. This is very effective for short
range attacks and hence very popular with those who just want practical
self-defence.
This
style was developed so that a smaller framed person could overcome a
larger person better by the use of body dynamics, positioning. Reflex
and sensitivity trained through a specially designed method created by
Wing Chun’s founder.
Wing Chun is a
relatively easy system to learn and it is perhaps of this reason that
it is the most popular of all the Chinese martial arts in the developed
countries. With a good foundation in Wing Chun, long range styles are
introduced in our curriculum making Wing Chun even more efficient.
Wing Chun Sticking hands
 
"Sticking hands" involves maintaining
contact with your opponent. Once the bridge has been closed Ned
on the left can easily deflect Matt's punch with his right forearm,
because he has felt the punch before it has landed. Chi Sao is
the sensitivity training that makes this possible.
WING CHUN
SIX-AND-A-HALF POINTS POLE
 
The modified system of Yip Man consists of
three empty hand forms, the wooden dummy, the long pole and the
butterfly knives. Characteristic of Wing Chun is the high horse stance
used to develop root, power and the correct flow of energy. The first
form, Siu Lam Tau of Wing Chun, is taught for
the first grade in our syllabus, together with Chin-na
(joint locking techniques). This grade takes about twelve lessons to learn and will
give the student the foundation they need to learn the basic principles
of self-defence and close range fighting.
Single sticking hands or Tan Chi Sau is
taught at the second grade, Chum Kiu at the third grade followed by Suang Chi Sau or double
sticking hands at the fourth grade. Most school will not teach their
students any further until they have proved their determination and
commitment(normally about ten years). However, at this stage students
would have processed good amount of self-defence knowledge of Wing Chun
system. Yap Man has also taught Bruce Lee to this level which he
combine some idea of other systems such as Praying Mantis and Chai Lei Fut to created the famous JKD.
