ABOUT
VING TSUN
The Wing Chun system is built on a series of forms and exercises designed to teach you the essential concepts and principles that are applied in combat. Each form builds upon the previous one, ensuring that the foundational concepts you learn early on are reinforced and utilized as you progress to more advanced levels.
A strong foundation in Wing Chun, along with a clear and concise understanding of its principles, is crucial for mastering the art.
Why is it important to grasp these concepts and principles?
Application techniques are limitless, while concepts and principles are finite.
One could learn specific techniques for various attacks, but since there are infinite variations of attacks, mastering every possible defense would be an endless task. However, within these countless applications, there are only a few core concepts and principles to master. These concepts are finite.
The Moy Yat Ving Tsun system focuses on teaching you these fundamental concepts and how to apply them in any situation, empowering you with an infinite range of solutions.
