What is Wing Chun?

Wing Chun is a traditional Chinese martial art that focuses on close-range combat, emphasizing speed, economy of motion, and relaxation. It was developed in Southern China and is widely known for its directness, simplicity, and effectiveness.

Wing Chun practitioners rely on the concepts of:

• Centerline Theory: The idea that controlling the centerline (the imaginary line down the middle of the body) is key to both offense and defense.
• Simultaneous Attack and Defense: Practitioners learn to strike and defend at the same time, maximizing efficiency.
• Structure and Alignment: Proper body mechanics and posture help generate power while maintaining balance and stability.
• Sensitivity: Through sensitivity training (such as in Chi Sao), Wing Chun practitioners develop an ability to feel and respond to an opponent's movements.
