The Wing Chun Forms are solo training frameworks for you learn and Remember, these are based on how a Wing Chun practitioner use their arms and legs and the positions that they should be. The Wing Chun Forms in simple terms hold all of the Theories of the Wing Chun System and are identical to a road map to help the student find his/her way through the Wing Chun System.
Wing Chun is dynamic, The ability to move on your feet quickly is paramount, the better your foot work the more balance you have and the quicker you can move and the better the chance of not getting hit, the importance of great footwork can not be overstated in the art of Wing Chun, Our Foot work sequences and drills quickly help with your Balance and co-ordination.
For the majority of people who begin Martial Arts training the use of the fist is a difficult one to overcome, this however is an unfortunate compromise needed in order learn to defend your self, Wing Chun is the only original Martial Art that punches with a Vertical fist so needs to be taught to the student and mastered, we achieve this through various punching drills and exercises.
This stands for free fighting, but as a beginner we start sparring in this game to get you used to being in close distance and learning to deal with basic attacks being thrown at you. Once you are good enough you can dispense with this way of training and move onto being more realistic, but it is a fantastic tool to develop your skills to begin with.
This is known as art of Sticking Hands, once you are at punching range or closer then you will be in contact with your opponent. Chi Sau builds directly into your body the skills you need to defend yourself and open the other person up once you are in contact with the attacker. It is the training of this skill that makes us specialists in dealing with people at close quarters.
