WingTsun Kung Fu
It is simple, direct and effective. Wing Tsun Kung Fu is a complete
fighting style. According to legend, it was founded more than 250 years
ago in China and has passed through generations with disciples continuing
to develop, upgrade and modernize the art. Our students are trained to
have the “heart of the warrior” but as important, each is instructed in
maintaining respect for every individual. We follow strict principles
rather than collect movements and rely on timing rather than speed;
position and balance rather than strength.
The central idea is that under pressure, it is impossible to visually
recognize the precise direction and speed of an attack and make a
conscious decision on an effective response. We teach to counter
immediately in a direct and protected manner and rely on reflexes to react
should the opponent continue the attack.
Chi Sao, or “sticking hands” is a training method we use to instruct
students to respond reflexively to the speed, force and direction of an
attack based on tactile information - which the human brain processes
faster that visual information.
