(credit: chongskungfu.com) Among the martial arts, Wing Chun is famous for being astonishing effective in close-range fighting. Emphasizing the concept of sensitivity, Wing Chun relies upon a sense of touch in anticipating the movement and redirection of an attack. Unlike martial art systems based upon strength, Wing Chung utilizes speed, coordination and timing. There are only three empty-hand forms in Wing Chun: Siu Nim Tao or the “Small Idea” form, Chum Kiu or “Searching the Bridge” form, and Biu Jee or “Flying Fingers” form. The development of sensitivity and timing is obtained through the exercise of Chi-Sao or “Sticky Hands”. Finally, there are two weapon sets: the Luk Dim Boon Gwun (or staff) and the Baat Jam Do (or butterfly knifes). The simplicity in training allows a practitioner to gain a degree of competence within a short period of time. With the emphasis upon the delivery of techniques from a strong, defensive posture, training in Wing Chun will create self-confidence and realistic self-defense capability. |
