WingTsun - A Flexible System with Something for Everyone

WingTsun kung fu is passive in defense; and advocates attack only in response to an opponent’s attack. The underlying principles of the martial art are the same as it’s underlying philosophy. WingTsun kung fu seeks to provide balance. Students are taught as a group, yet guided individually. The class environment is friendly and family-oriented.

During class, students engage in the following methods of training:

Forms Training – which teaches concentration, mental focus and precision of body movement.Chi-Sau – a training exercise unique to WingTsun kung fu, which uses tactile reflex development and muscle memory to “program” the limbs how to react to contact with an opponent’s attack.

Lat-Sau – free-fighting training, where the student learns to use the movements of the forms and the chi-sau program for either sparring or actual fighting.

Strength Training - to build and improve one’s strength and power. Students use a variety of training equipment such as kicking shields, focus mitts, heavy bags, wallbags, suspended spring, the wooden dummy, and tripodal dummy to improve their strength, flexibility, coordination, focus and timing.
