Wing Chun Kung Fu is a practical and very effective street martial art. This system is designed to be used at close range, which one has to be to physically harm you. A person cannot physically harm you if that person, cannot physically touch you. With this in mind there is no practiclity for long range fighting with high flying kicks. What is needed for distance is the ability to enter or close the gap between you and your opponent.
Wing Chun Kung Fu is designed to protect against the individual that is committed to their attack, trying to seriously harm you. Wing Chun is not designed for sparring sessions or competitions, where there are sanctioned rules for your own safety. Wing Chun is a system of combat that is designed to injure the aggressor, using loose short range explosive energy. Providing the weaker defender the capability of defeating the stronger opponent. This is accomplished by using realistic principle based self defense measures. Wing Chun uses the range that a boxer gets tied up in and the grappler uses to take you to the ground. Some of Wing Chuns arsenals are low kicks, trapping, footwork, striking, Chinese Grappling (Chin Na) and weapons. |
