Wing-Chun for Self Defence

Wing-Chun self defence refers specifically to International Kaplan Wing-Chun Academy self-defence system of Wing-Chun, which is a nice combination of practical applications of Wing-Chun and Chin-Na.

Wing-Chun self defence centres on unique, multi-faceted techniques which can be learned by anyone willing to concentrated and practice. Flowing movements and sudden speed combine into systematic, co-ordinated sequences and blend to form a powerful and holistic response to an attack. Systematic Wing-Chun training improves your physical and mental flexibility and heightens your perception.

It builds on the existing potential of each student. It is not muscular strength and stamina that are required, but the willingness to let your body respond, to get to know your strengths and to put them to use. Training centers on learning a co-ordinated and healthy way of moving and heightened physical and mental perception rather than brute force or mindless conditioning it is truly one of the most effective and fullfilling martial arts systems available today.

Learning Wing-Chun self defence gives you a new awareness of your body and a new level of self-assurance. Intensive training gives students more confidence as they become aware of their capabilities and potential. Personal constraints become less important in day-to-day living. Wing-Chun students are no longer the "victim-type" and for this reason alone rarely get into dangerous situations.

But if the need arises they possess an effective and uncompromising system of unarmed and armed self defence. Wing-Chun practitioner absorbs the strength of the attacker, converts it into his or her own strength, reinforces it and directs it back at the attacker. An attacker’s strengths therefore immediately become weaknesses for the Wing-Chun  fighter to exploit – the aggressor’s every move simply making his own defeat more inevitable.
