Wing Chun

Description

YO!! My name is Angela!

I take a very special martial arts called Wing Chun, which is more about your form and stance rather then strength and/or size. Its a close range hand-to-hand combat!
Ah, im not sure how much ill be able to put in for now because of school...sry!! anyway, if you're a student of Wing Chun or want to become one or just like the sound of it, join away!!!!!

Here is the site for the Wing Chun Society in the Westchester, and NYC area, my school!!!

Heres a little bit of info on Wing Chun...

Practitioners of this direct, aggressive self-defense style waste no time in getting to the point- short, straight strikes right to the centerline of their body.

Wing Chun kung fu, the only system believed to have been founded by a woman, is an aggressive style that is used strictly for self-defense.

The legend relates that a girl named Yim Wing Chun desired to learn martial arts at the Shaolin temple. She caught the attention of a Shaolin nun named Ng Mui, who was an accomplished martial artist. So impressed was Ng Mui with Yim Wing Chun's ability and desire, that she offered to teach Shaolin martial arts to her. The Kung fu that Yim Wing Chun learned consisted of only three forms, instead of the ten or more taught in other Shaolin systems. Her Kung fu was also used only for self-defense and lacked the fancy sets that other styles used to entice potential martial artists into the kung fu systems. Yim Wing Chun's style consisted of short direct movements designed to eliminate any wasted energy and to encourage speed in the counterattacks. It also included training with wooden dummies and chi sao (sticky hand) techniques.

There are several different types of wing chun within the system. The most popular and common style seen today is the 'slant body' form practiced by Bruce Lee and his famous sifu Yip Man, who was considered the grandmaster of modern wing chun. There also exists a type called 'side body' wing chun originated by sifu Fong Sun, and pao fa lein wing chun founded by Liu Tao Sheng.

While Yip Man's wing chun contains only three hand forms and one wooden dummy set, the pao fa lein style consists of ten hand forms and four wooden dummy forms. (This is what i take...)

A highly aggressive art, wing chun concentrates on centerline attacks, using no wasted effort. Blocks are used to redirect the opponent's strike so that the wing chun practitioner can counterattack with wither his blocking hand or the other hand, in a very close-in position. Since the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, there are no circular movements to be seen in most wing chun styles. (An exception is based upon short fluid circular movements).

Attacking-hand movements in the wing chun system are of the short one-inch punch type made famous by the late Bruce Lee and are all delivered along the centerline of the opponent's body. There are also many knee, elbow and finger attacks.Hand and foot techniques are delivered simultaneously in the wing chun system. All wing chun techniques are perfected on the wing chun dummy (mook jong). This dummy consists of two arms and a midsection projection from practicing hand techniques and a leg against which the eight types of quick low kicks are practiced.

The wooden dummy allows the wing chun student the opportunity to use his full force and power, while at the same time toughening the bones and muscles in his arms and legs. Wing chun uses the dummy more than other kung fu systems.

Chi sao (sticky hands) is a unique training feature of the wing chun system. In chi sao practice two wing chun practitioner's face each other and move their wrists and forearms against each other's wrists and forearms in small circles. The sensitivity developed in the wrists and forearms by this practice allows the wing chun stylist to predict the opponent's next move. He is also so close in to his opponent that he can use his chi sao technique to counter and attack instantly. The practitioner uses the short quick movements of chi sao to his best advantage striking before his opponent realizes where the attack is coming from.

Wing chun kung fu contains few weapons. The most famous weapons of its arsenal are the staff and the butterfly knives. The pao fa lein wing chun style, however, contains many more weapons. The broadsword, butterfly knives, trident, and staff are just a few of the weapons available in pao fa lein wing chun.

i was told that yipman was kinda awkward and was usually showing the techniques altered to his students. Its a fact in the movie too, that he didnt wanna teach at all. Dunno, kinda like keeping the original style to himself?
