Are you a fan of efficiency? If so, you will love Wing Chun Gung Fu.

Simple in Comparison

If you have any familiarity with other Chinese Gung Fu styles, Wing Chun will appear simple to you. It's simplistic appearance results from the absence of acrobatic feats and looping movements, as well as the fact that it is not an "animal system." An "animal system" is a system whose motions are based entirely on the motions of animals.



Wholistic by Design

This is a very complete system whose sum is certainly greater than its parts. An example of this can be found in the empty hand forms of the system.

Beginning students receive instruction in the first form.

Intermediate students receive instruction in the second form, which allows them to counter movements learned in the first form.

Advanced students receive instruction in the third form, which allows them to counter movements learned in the second form.

Students who continue to persevere and increase the depth of their knowledge return to the roots - the first form. With diligent study and training and quality guidance, these students are able to counter movements learned in the third form.



Rock, Paper, Scissors

Are you familiar with the game Rock, Paper, Scissors?

If so, you're probably wondering what is has to do with Wing Chun, right?

In the game, it's the matchup that counts! In other words, no one thing is superior. If you make a rock and your opponent makes scissors, you win! Your rock smashes his scissors. But if you make a rock and your opponent makes paper, you lose! Your opponent's paper covers your rock. While the rock can produce a win one time, it can also be defeated the next time.

It's the same in this system. The matchup is what matters! No one technique is superior. There is not one technique that cannot be countered by another. In fact, there's an old Wing Chun proverb that reads, "Bock Gai, Bock Jeet." This translates to "for every attack, there is a counteraction."



Few But Fruitful

Remember that this system is built on simplicity. Consequently, you should not be surprised to learn that the system is comprised of only six "forms" - three "hand" forms, one Wooden Dummy form, and two weapon sets.

Do not confuse the minimalistic nature of this system with a lack of substance or applicability!

Sure, the system seems almost too streamlined to those who are unfamiliar with it.

Furthermore, these same individuals become even more disillusioned when they realize that the forms are easy to learn.

Do not be fooled!

While learning a form is easy, truly understanding and being able to apply the teachings of a form is not! True understanding and applicability require years and years of patience, perseverance, and determination.

If you are not fooled by the appearance of simplicity and have the passion to pursue substantive knowledge, you will learn that forms are fruitful. In other words, you will learn that the forms possess a plethora of ideas and principles. In short, you will learn that the forms are the keys to the system.
