Wing Chun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A month ago I started to train in Wing Tsun. The Leung Ting linage of Wing Chun. I chose it because it was the closest kung fu gym to my place but I have discoverd it to be perfect for both my body and mind.
It was developed by shaolin monks for lighter people (I'm 55kg's), especially women. Ng Mui, the legend goes, taught it to a woman called Wing Chun. Wing Chun had to defeat her fiance, a warlord, in single combat to be able to marry her Love instead.
It's based on principles rather than specific attacks and blocks. This opens it up to analasys and spontanaity.
The class is very relaxed. It helps relax the mind and body which helps learing moves as reflex. We change around alot to get used to different people's styles. Larger guys tend to be harder and guys my size tend to be softer. It's good to listen to what they are correcting with their game.
