Wing Chun Chuan

"all journeys begin with the first step..."  

Wing Chun Chuan or Everlasting Springtime boxing is a traditional Kung Fu system that originated in the 17th century.
It is an ideal way to stimulate both mind and body, and is also a very efficient means of self-defence.
Training consists of learning Chi Kung breathing techniques and study of the 3 forms. Initially, the 1st form, Sil Lum Tao (or Little Idea) form is taught, followed by Chum Kui, and, finally, Biu Jee.
Training is also given in Chi Sau - sticking hands - which develops sensitivity and mind/ body co-ordination.
The moves themselves are practiced slowly to develop good health and increased vitality.
The practitioner learns to relax so movement becomes natural and fluid. while energy - Jing - is used only when making a strike. Because Wing Chun is a soft Martial Art, and does not rely on bodily strength, or athletic ability, but rather on quick reactions and combinations of moves, it can be practiced by anyone, and is particularly suitable for mature students
