Wing Chun
Ages 13yrs and up
There are different levels of
learning Wing Chun, each hand form or weapon form
symbolizes a level. Sil Lim Tao is the foundation of Wing
Chun. Sil Lim Tao teaches students centerline
theories, building good structure for each technique, and
develop the sinking energy that is needed to root oneself
to the ground.
If the student fully understands and is able to perform
each technique at this level, they will be promoted to a
second level. Chum Kui form gives students more
understanding of the importance of footwork, turning,
stepping, and theories of using body energy, i.e. use of less
energy to achieve a powerful defense and offense.
The next form after Chum Kui level is Mook Yang Jong (wooden dummy).
There are seven sections within the Mook Yang Jong.
Each section has its own theories and principles.
For example, the seventh
section of the wooden dummy form concentrates more on kicks
and sweeps. Mook Jong practice enables students to
actually hit a real target, improve forearm strength, angle
of attack and so much more.
Biu Tzi is the last hand form taught in the Wing Chun
system. These techniques are more powerful and explosive; they
could cause serious injuries to one's opponents.
This is the reason why Biu Tzi has only been taught to a
select group of students.
The advanced students will
also experience blindfold chi sau training –
feeling the movements of their opponent without even
seeing them. Also, they will learn two weapon forms, which include the
Look Dim Bon Kwan (six and a half techniques pole)
form, which improves the strength of one's wrists, thrusting
power, as well as the strength of one's stance, and the
Bat Cham Do (8 slashing
swords) form, which improves even faster footwork and
striking power.
Advance training methods also include heavy bag, focus mitt, and inch power training. For those students who would like to take it to the ultimate level, full contact man-to-man sparring or weapon-to-weapon sparring is available upon request!
