Wing Chun
|
Wing Chun is a Kung Fu system from Southern China. Some of its highlights
include: fast hand techniques, proper structure, the center-line theory,
sticky hands (chi sau), and chain punching. Like other Southern styles,
Wing Chun does not believe in using high kicks for combat. Other training
includes two man drills and the famous Wooden Dummy. Emphasis is placed on
economy of motion and the theory of, "the shortest distance between 2 points is
a straight line." Weapons training consist of the butterfly swords and the
long pole.
Anyone can learn Wing Chun, but women and men of smaller
stature should take particular interest in the system since proper structure
is paramount. Power is generally derived through speed as opposed to brute
strength. The system concentrates on close range fighting and hitting is
preferred to grabbing.
