What is Wing Chun ?

Wing Chun is an art that is suitable for anyone.

Martial arts in Kingston Upon Thames, Wing Chun in Kingston Upon Thames and Kung Fu In Kingston Upon Thames is for everyone from the age of 4 to 94

so is Wing Chun an art for everyone, we believe so

It’s focus is based on shortest distance between the attacker and yourself and using effective, efficient methods of simultaneous attack and defence. With it being a responsive art the student goal is to not have to think about what it is doing but simply to respond without thought just like blinking and breathing.

It also builds a pre-fight mentality giving you a greater insight to the build up of an aggressive confrontation and how to deal with it.

Our Wing Chun training is split over 3 phases these being:

Phase One (Beginner Level Grades 1 – 4):

  • 1st form Siu Nim Tau (A Little Idea). Within this form the student learns arm positions.
  • Basic footwork helping the student understand leg mechanics and how by simply moving turning their leg can change a fight
  • Basic drills to help the student gain the understanding of flow and movement.
  • Straight Punch Defence – Jabs, Crosses
  • Low Punch Defence
  • Back Fist Defence
  • Hook Defence

Phase Two (Intermediate Level Grades 5 – 8)

  • 2nd Form Chum Kiu (Seeking the Bridge)
  • The student gains the ability to deal with close quarter fighting by using knees and elbows. Dealing with grappling, throwing and ground work.

Phase Three (Advanced Level Grades 9 – 12)

  • 2nd Form Chum Kiu (Seeking the Bridge)
  • The last phase deal with specialised area and how Wing Chun Is used to have an understanding of how to deal with counter kicking, knives and other striking implements, being involved in a situation where there is more than one opponent and control and restraint.

As the student reaches the end of each Phase they are tested either at the Kingston Upon Thames Martial Arts school or at our Regional Headquarters in London during this testing the student will revisit each grade in that phase covering specific elements. Once passing the phase the student is allowed to progress to the next phase.

The core elements of each class will be 6 subjects, these 6 subjects are as follows

  1. Forms – Siu nim tau, Chum kiu, etc
  2. Lat Sao – Learning and applying Wing Chun in a classroom environment
  3. Chi Sao – Learning to stick and feel your assailants pressure and react.
  4. Punches – Once a fight starts you have to be able hit someone hard if you are going to stop them, a great punch is your most useful tool.
  5. Steps – The better your foot work the more balance you have the quicker you can move and the harder you can hit, the importance of great footwork can not be overstated in the art of Wing Chun.
  6. Theory – Theory is the understanding and ideas behind how you should be and act as a Wing Chun martial artist. This will give you everything you need to apply the art to suit you as an individual.

Once the student has gained his/her 12th grade they can then set their goals to become a Technician of Wing Chun, here the student will learn the Biu Tze Form, Wooden Dummy Form, Butterfly Knives Form, Long Pole Form and finally achieving the Level of Master.

Each individual student is different and the style of Wing Chun they develop is their own.
