A Chapter of the Alan Goldberg Wing Chun Kung Fu Lineage
Wing Chun is an extremely close quarter combat system first made popular by Bruce
Lee. It is a scientifically and mathematically formulated kung fu system that originated in
China approximately 400 years ago.
Concept and Theory-Based
There are ten core concepts and theories that Wing Chun Kung Fu is comprised of:
1. Triangle/Pyramid concept
2. Centerline concept
3. Economy of motion concept
4. Simultaneous attack and defense concept
5. Straight line concept
6. Four corners concept
7. Face to face concept
8. Immovable elbow concept
9. Trapping hands concept
10. Bridge hands concept
The concepts of Wing Chun Kung Fu are used together in order to use the minimum
amount of effort and energy to gain the maximum result. Wing Chun Kung Fu is different
from other martial arts because it utilizes the stronger persons’ energy and force against
them to defeat their opponents through the use of leverage, proper energy and sensitivity
training.
Chi Sao (Sensitivity Training)
One of the trademarks of Wing Chun is its Sticking Hands (a.k.a. Chi Sao) training. In Chi
Sao, students learn proper distancing, body mechanics, and non- telegraphic
movement. This is accomplished by learning to feel your opponent’s movement.
Through Chi Sao, the student learns to feel when opponent is about to exert force upon
them.
What the Beginner Should Expect
Wing Chun is a very fluid and economical martial art that focuses on theory and concept --
not on brute force! The system is realistically grounded for real street survival. A student
will initially devote time to understand and apply Wing Chun concepts through training
drills, theories and concepts.
The class is divided into both application and lecture. This is an important element of
Wing Chun that allows students to learn to react in a way that makes sense to them.
Wing Chun Kung Fu is the ideal martial art for people of all body types and sizes.
Therefore, a lot of the training is done with multiple partners, sharing insight and learning
through trial and error. This type of training lets all the students feel different energies
and view things from a different perspective.
In Wing Chun, you (the student) are more important than the system. Therefore, you learn
to utilize your own strengths and manipulate the opponents’ weakness. Therefore, Wing
Chun teaches students not to accumulate a large arsenal but rather to throw away the
nonessentials and use natural advantages.
Note
Due to the close quarter strikes and techniques in this system of training there are no
children classes. Any and all teenagers will be screened and interviewed prior to
acceptance into this program. This is to ensure a safe and friendly training environment.
The Wing Chun Kung Fu Academy reserves the right to not accept any student.
