| What is Wing Chun? |
Wing Chun is a fighting system which evolved from a number of sources including classical Shaolin Kung Fu, it was created by a Buddhist Nun by the name of Ng Mui who was famous for her skills as a boxer.
It uses no high kicks (unstable and groin exposed to attack) so no painful stretching exercises required. It is designed for fighting multiple armed attackers, so no, or minimal groundwork training, if you are wrestling on the floor you are defenceless against other attackers with weaponry. It is also designed to turn out competent fighters within as short a time frame as possible, so you can pick it up really quickly. It was made famous by Bruce Lee best known student of Grandmaster Ip Man.
Wing Chun uses bone structure, muscle memory and the power of the subconscious to overpower larger opponents with minimal use of muscle strength. With correct training a student can spasm their body and Fa Jing enormous amounts of energy from apparently minimal movement. Wing Chun redirects an attacker’s force whilst simultaneously counter striking to the central core of the body so that all the energy has to be absorbed.
