The 3 Parts of a WIng Tzun Class



1.Forms

Forms derive from the fundamental natural range of movements which have been integrated for self-defense purposes, and have also traditionally been acknowledged to be contributing to overall relaxation, meditation and well-being.

2. Chi Sao ( sticking hands )

Wing Tzun is the only martial art that features the unique exercise of tactile reflexes which are determined by the sense of touch. Chi Sao defense reflexes are elicited in a very immediate and mechanical way by the attack of the opponent. Thus, they are always exactly tailored and appropriate to the situation. Chi Sao reflexes are far quicker than reacting to visual input and they also allow for the Wing Tzun-fighter to defend him\herself blindly.
Chi Sao is the glue that integrates a number of single movements into coherent combinations that are not preconceived yet prove to meet the needs of the given situation. Without Chi Sao Wing Tzun would only consist of an accumulation of single technical bits or dead movement-patterns. This makes Chi Sao the very soul of Wing Tzun!
