1 To 1 Martial Arts Training – Sessions
Sessions typically begin with standing practice and correct posture training. When you connect properly to the ground in a relaxed posture, it has major implications for your ability to absorb force and generate power. This is the basis for the first hand pattern of the Wing Chun system: Siu Lim Tao. In Siu LIm Tao you are standing still throughout the form.
Only in the second hand pattern (Chum Kiu) do you start to see movement of the feet.
While from the outside Siu Lim Tao looks rather unimpressive, it is the underlying principles of the pattern which make it powerful. As you learn how to practice, you should make it a daily routine. Over time, this will give you power in your techniques and movements.
You will also learn the basic movements relating to chi sau if you’re a beginner. Chi Sau is the “heart” of the Wing Chun system and ties together the techniques and movements in a practice one to one situation with a partner. It is through chi sau where you learn how reactions, positions and techniques relate to a live training partner.
