 "Wing
Chun is one of the most
natural and effective martial arts, simple yet devastating.
It was developed for street practical self-defence,
however in keeping with Chinese tradition martial arts
training also serves as a defence against disease and
degeneration, not just thugs and bullies. i.e.: defence
inside, defence outside."
"Training for street self-defence
is something you may one day need, especially in our
ever increasingly violent society, however it should
not be the only reason and benefit of your training.
Wing Chun practice should also develop and maintain
good health and a better quality of life which is something
you can benefit from everyday. As your ability and skills
increase you will gain in confidence, learning martial
arts develops confidence not arrogance, a balanced martial
artist has no need to 'prove' themselves, only the weak
and insecure feel the need to do so."

Wing Chun is a fighting
system requiring neither great strength nor great athletic
ability. Instead the system uses ones own natural body
structure to develop power, speed and efficiency. The
basic philosophy of the system is as follows: if something
requires excessive movement or effort, then it is not
something we wish to waste time practicing if a more
practical method exists.
Unlike many other martial-arts, Wing Chun
focuses on "In-fighting". That is, close range
combat, overwhelming the adversary at the first opportunity
rendering them unable to retaliate effectively. Of particular
advantage to practitioners of this system is the ability
to respond instinctively whenever one's own limbs are
obstructed, or in any way pressed, dragged or jammed-up
by the opponent. This high-level skill is developed
and enhanced through the training drill known as 'Chi
Sau' ("sticky-hands"), and when trained to
an advanced level, can even enable a Wing Chun fighter
to attack and control an opponent when the eyesight
is obstructed. The hands literally learn to "think
for themselves" further adding to the ability to
work the "In-fighting" range effectively.
