Adult Martial Arts Classes – What Is Wing Chun Kung Fu?
Wing Chun Kung Fu is a style of martial art which is based on economy of motion and minimum movement.
As such it is not a sport orientated martial art but more of a practical martial art for self defence which is particularly suitable for older adults.
What will beginners learn? Beginners will learn basic principles. This will start with the stance and working up to basic drills to help install good habits and reactions. As you progress you’ll start to learn the game of Chi Sau.
What Is Chi Sau?
Chi sau is a Wing Chun drill which is similar to putting a fight into a game scenario.
It allows you to safely play with techniques, attack and defence moves at close range while your opponent attempts to do the same.
Basic principles learned in the beginners course will help you defend and attack simultaneously.
Safety is particularly important because Wing Chun is a close quarter self defence system. Many of our members are over 40 too – so health is particularly important.
Everyone in our classes are happy to help and encourage beginners – there’s no room for massive egos!
Format Of Classes
Our classes are relaxed and friendly with a focus on working on the fundamental principles of Wing Chun. We cover forms, drills, Chi Sau, testing and street oriented attacks/defence.
Forms – teach you fundamental positions and principles – these are designed to “take away” and practice solo
Drills – drills teach automatic responses and reflex actions, correct positions during movement and under duress
Chi sau is our stick hands practice which is a game played between two practitioners. Each one tries to unbalance or strike the opponent without giving away a counter attack through correct positions and self control.
Testing – we “test” positions and stance gently at first to ensure correctly alignment and proper relaxation. Over time, we can withstand greater pressure and while under duress/attack. This also helps you deliver greater force when attacking too due to correct alignment and relaxation of the muscles.
Street – during our street applications you work with an attack to understand the best response and counter attack. Over time more random attacks are added and with greater speed and power.
