Wing Chun for Adults

WING CHUN is a concept-based Chinese martial art and form of self defence utilising both striking and grappling while specialising in close-range combat. It is a relatively young martial art, with most historians agreeing that it developed in southern China. 

Its a practical self defence approach, which prioritises directness and economy of motion. Practitioners learn to strike and defend using the shortest paths, particularly along the centreline of the body, developing reflexes and muscle memory for instinctive reactions in high-pressure situations.

The art also highlights efficient body mechanics. Instead of relying on strength, Wing Chun teaches students to leverage body structure and angles. Techniques like "Chi Sau" (Sticky Hands) enhance sensitivity to opponents’ movements, improving timing and flow between defence and offence. This focus on minimising unnecessary movements makes techniques faster and more energy-efficient.

Mental discipline is crucial, helping practitioners stay calm under pressure and make quick decisions. The mindfulness developed during training translates to better focus and stress management in daily life. Additionally, Wing Chun’s adaptability allows techniques to be customized for various body types.

Training offers a balanced workout, enhancing cardiovascular fitness, flexibility, and core strength. Typical classes include warm-ups, forms practice, partner drills, and reflexive exercises, helping students bridge the gap between practice and real-world application.

Overall, Wing Chun provides a comprehensive system for self defence, physical fitness, and personal growth, making it an invaluable martial art for adults seeking to enhance their skills and confidence.

In regards to how this information is passed on from Instructor to student for us is as follows. 

We aim to teach 7 elements within each class:

Forms

The Wing Chun Forms are solo training frameworks for you learn and Remember, these are based on how a Wing Chun practitioner use their arms and legs and the positions that they should be. The Wing Chun Forms in simple terms hold all of the Theories of the Wing Chun System and are identical to a road map to help the student find his/her way through the Wing Chun System. 

Footwork 

Wing Chun is dynamic, The ability to move on your feet quickly is paramount, the better your foot work the more balance you have and the quicker you can move and the better the chance of not getting hit, the importance of great footwork can not be overstated in the art of Wing Chun, Our Foot work sequences and drills quickly help with your Balance and co-ordination.

Punches and Handshape

For the majority of people who begin Martial Arts training the use of the fist is a difficult one to overcome, this however is an unfortunate compromise needed in order learn to defend your self, Wing Chun is the only original Martial Art that punches with a Vertical fist so needs to be taught to the student and mastered, we achieve this through various punching drills and exercises. 

Pressure Testing System (PTS)

This stands for free fighting, but as a beginner we start sparring in this game to get you used to being in close distance and learning to deal with basic attacks being thrown at you. Once you are good enough you can dispense with this way of training and move onto being more realistic, but it is a fantastic tool to develop your skills to begin with.


Chi Sau

This is known as art of Sticking Hands, once you are at punching range or closer then you will be in contact with your opponent. Chi Sau builds directly into your body the skills you need to defend yourself and open the other person up once you are in contact with the attacker. It is the training of this skill that makes us specialists in dealing with people at close quarters. 

Self Defence 6 Modules
Within our self defence modules we cover practical and realistic attacks a student may encounter. These six modules are Headlocks, Guillotines, Rear chokes, Tackles, Grabs and wild swings. The student learns how to defend the beginning, the middle and worst case scenario.

Theory 

A set of Theories, Principles and Motos! The last subject is theory, although the last that a student understands it is the most important. The Theory of the Wing Chun System 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.
