If you’re looking for adult martial arts classes come and join a class at Leeds Ip Man Wing Chun. Our classes are geared towards adult only (minimum age is 16) and suitable for older adults too! Wing Chun is a close range martial art which uses a unique training method known as Chi Sau (sticky hands). Chi sau allows practitioners to test in real time their reflexes, positions and practice techniques on a live opponent.
Wing Chun is one of the most suitable martial arts for older adults too. There’s no high kicks in Wing Chun and chi sau is a low energy exercise making it more suitable for older adults than some other styles.
Adult Martial Arts Classes – Wing Chun
Wing Chun is a close range striking art which is based on economy of motion and minimum movement. The highest level of kick is to the waist level and chi sau is the main focus of training. The skill of chi sau allows a Wing Chun practitioner to easily read incoming attacks based on hand sensitivity and body position which is learned through practice. Classes are broken down into forms, drills, chi sau and “street” techniques which help bridge the gap between real life and practice.
