Wing Chun is a South Chinese system of Kung Fu (the word means application of technique). It is characterised by its fast hand work, simultaneous block and attacks, practical low kicking, and sensitivity in redirecting the attacker's force. The oral tradition of Wing Chun is that the woman responsible for its earliest development gave her name to the system - "Beautiful Springtime". The name could also be a reference to springtime returning, by the Han people's revolutionary fighters' yearning for the overthrow of the Manchu dynasty. Classes consist of partners' work on sensitivity (chi sau), forms practice (similar to Karate katas), reaction drills such as lap sau, and self- defense applications. Power development is practiced, such as inch punch and pad, bag and wooden dummy work. Semi contact sparring and the distinctive chi sau sparring is also practiced when students are confident and controlled. Eventually the weapons of the system are employed (butterfly short swords and pole) E-mail today to check on private lesson availability/organize attendance at your first class. |
