Wing Chun Training

Wing Chun has only a few movements to the martial arts. This makes it easy to learn even if it starts off complicated. Let me explain…

One of the first things we learn is to strike and defend at the same time by defending with Tan Sau, striking with a straight punch, and shifting with our feet. Our body doesn’t naturally move that way but after a few practice sessions, our body learns to do it. Once our muscles memorize the movements, the next step is applying the principles behind each movement.

Like adapting our bodies to Wing Chun, I am also adapting my mind by writing down everything I can. My essays are as much for me as for anyone else who stumbles upon them.

Here, I have organized my essays by categories to simplify your reading selection. Feel free to bookmark this page for future reference.
