5 Ranges of Unarmed Fighting (Universal Solution)


In a real self-defense-situation rules of fairness ( which could alter the outcome of a fight don't exist! That is why in Wing Tzun (WT) we derive from that the consequent importance of a training that is as full and complete as possible, and which acknowledges all of the five distances that are part of the fighting-situation.


The 5 Ranges:

1st Fighting with your feet

2nd Fighting with your hands

3rd Fighting with knees and elbows

4th Holding, barring and throwing

5th Ground fighting

In any of the above situations the Wing Tzun-principles can be applied successfully, which is why so many martial arts practitioners turn to Wing Tzun.

In a Wing Tzun-training session the punches, kicks etc...are all executed with soft-contact so that the risk of injury is kept to a minimum.


Wing Tzun start where most other styles stop:  the uncompromising close range fight!


(Universal Solution)

The Wing Tzun Kung Fu system is unique in that its ingenious concept allows the student to move according to the same principle in every range. This greatly simplifies the demands on the student during a confrontation, as she/he does not need to change his/her strategy, mindset, or way of moving as the range of a confrontation changes (as it nearly always does, quickly and unpredictably).
