Wing Chun

If you don't know what is wing chun, you can watch ip-man movies 1 & 2 (donnie yen as Ip-man). Wing Chun is a very unique and scientific form of martial arts. Wing Chun is a style of Kung Fu from China, the martial art was later refined in Hong Kong. Wing Chun's specialty is in close contact combat, using quick punches with a tight defence, coordinated through agile stances and footwork for a quick advance.

The effectiveness of Wing Chun is achieved by well coordinated attacks with simultaneous defence and vise versa. Due to its effectiveness this martial art makes for an effective form of self defence. The student must learn to deliver the correct amount of energy, whilst staying relaxed when possible. A good Wing Chun Sifu (instructor / teacher) will teach the student to overcome force with positioning and turning rather than meeting it head on. The style uses kicks, sweeps, palm strikes, punches, trapping and control techniques as part of its fighting arsenal.

The techniques of Wing Chun are the three hand form and the wooden dummy techniques. Training begins with Siu Nim Tao (little idea), Chum Kiu (bridge seeking), Biu Gee (thrusting fingers). Then after complete all three forms, the serious students will learn Muk Yan Jong (wooden dummy), then Luk Dim Boon Gaun (six & a half point pole) and finally Bart Cham Dao (eight cutting double knives).
 
Another wing chun Sylabus is Chi Sao, form of training to help develop and put into practice your techniques and theories you learn during your training. Chi Sau teaches and helps the student to develop a responsive reflex, along with good position, how to overcome your opponents strength, correct usage of energy and taking advantage of the shortest possible distance between you and your opponent. Chi Sau will also help with sensitivity, or "reacting to feeling rather than sight". In addition to this Chi Sau helps students learn to react to unpredictable movements as there is not set of predefined movements.
