![]() You see, Wing Chun is an art which is both very energizing and calming for the mind and body. This aspect of Wing Chun is very real and attainable if the practitioner approaches the training in the correct way and with the right intentions. For me, the essence of Wing Chun is the remarkable self-development and potentially life-changing aspects of it. However, I believe that the self-defence aspect is only a branch of the entire Wing Chun tree. I was bouncing at King Cross in Sydney for a couple of years and survived. I can speak from experience to say that even before I moved to Hong Kong and learnt the internal mindful aspect of it, which has at least tripled the power and speed I can produce, even before that, when I was simply applying the external mechanics and principles of Wing Chun, I was able to defend myself effectively. Wing Chun is much more than just an efficient self-defence system, and it really is an effective martial art. What would like to share with the world about Wing Chun? ![]() These are the two reasons that not only ‘keep me going’ but they’re the fuel that make the fire bigger and bigger. Second, since it has helped me so much in my life I really want to dedicate my life to being able to share it with as many people as possible. First, I’m very curious to see how far I can take it as in how much deeper can go into my own mind and body. This has enabled me to use my body in a much more efficient way than before, in any movement, activity or posture.Īs I mentioned, I started Wing Chun for self-defence but now what keeps me going are two things. The way we practice wing is through deep relaxation muscles and gaining access to the joints and connective tissues mindfully. Secondly, it has really given me remarkable control of my body. This has really improved the quality of my relationships. Firstly, it has changed my relationship with the inner workings of my mind so that I have more understanding and control of my both thoughts and emotions, and as a result I feel that I can understand and relate to other people with empathy. Wing Chun for me has become a way of life. What is Wing Chun to you? What keeps you going? ![]() Rough neighbourhood and trouble at school, 1998, yellow pages.
