Wing Chun Kuen (Praise Spring / Eternal Spring Boxing) is one of the most prominent Southern Chinese-Boxing Systems. Simply put, it is a powerful close-range striking system that empowers a smaller or weaker individual to quickly and efficiently take control (and if necessary, subdue) a much larger and stronger attacker. Wing Chun theory and training concentrates on self-cultivation, understanding
biomechanics and developing motor skills. Wing Chun training has a principle based approach to transmitting the over all system, the principles and maxims are for developing a profound connection to the body and mind and for honing our martial skills. It is a robust network of attack and defence systems that takes advantage of using short-range structural frames, muscle dynamics and muscle energetics allowing one to generate power for controlling, striking, sweeping and throwing. Closing the space to get into the chest-to-chest range and being able to maneuver in tight spaces is a valuable skill set, being that altercations often occur in close quarters. For example, when we’ve been isolated by someone in a narrow alley or when we find ourselves being menaced in-between vehicles in a parking garage or when we’re in an elevator. Wing Chun training is learned in layers with the maxims and principles applied throughout every level of training. Learning to take advantage of solid short-range biomechanics is a skill set that can be successfully learned relatively fast and applied by anyone, at any skill level, to give them the edge in the clinch. Confidently take control and strike with power from any angle, from outside or from the clinch. Comfortably close the gap to get chest-to-chest with the attacker to suffocate their power, compromise their posture while moving yourself into position to take advantage and strike with full force; subdue them at will, whether in the street or in the cage.
