Specific Benefits of Wing Chun

Wing Chun is a very scientific and artificial style of boxing. Its strength lies in buried body combat. It is fast and close in defense, flexible in horse stance and fast in upward and downward movement, combining both attack and defense and defense and attack at the same time, focusing on the combination of rigidity and flexibility, and consuming a small amount of energy.

Wing Chun on its theory, method of mind, techniques, etc. created a small Nian Tou, seeking bridge and standard finger and other three sets of boxing and wooden people Chun method. More with the sticky hand exercises to train and enemy bridge hand after double connection feeling and reaction. Wing Chun uses a method called "inch strength" to attack and defend. Theory and mindfulness focus on the center line, burying the zheng, pursuing the form towards the face, taking care of both the left and right sides, coming and going, and throwing the hand straight to attack and defend in the shortest possible distance and time.

The following is an itemized statement of the characteristics of Wing Chun:

(1) Theory and method:

(1) The theory of the center line: the center line is the line from the top of the head to the coccyx (tailbone). If the enemy and us in the line connection will become a center line plane. If with (face to face chase shape) we are absolutely favorable in terms of offense and defense. On the offensive side, we attack the enemy along the center line with the (face-to-face pursuit), which is the shortest distance between the enemy and us; at the same fist speed, the one who is close to the fist track will of course be faster to hit. Moreover, if we ask the enemy to attack on the left or right, the opponent can easily remove our force. However, if we attack the center of the enemy's line, it will be difficult for the opponent to unload, and the force will be heavier. In defense, we guard the center line, with (face to face) and along the center line plane to dissipate the water method, which is also the shortest line of elimination.

(2) Face-to-face pursuit: facing each other face-to-face is "face-to-face". If we can't face each other (e.g., if the other side is facing the other direction), then we are chasing the other side's centerline along the centerline plane.

Whenever possible, Wing Chun faces the enemy head-on. No matter what direction the enemy is going around me, we must always face the enemy. The benefits are as follows:

1) Defense: Simplify the direction of the enemy's attack on us. Because of the frontal attack, the enemy's direction of attack to us is limited to nine ways. The nine ways are left up, left center, left down, center up, center center, center down, right up, right center, right down. Therefore, it is easier for us to understand the enemy's coming trend.

②Offensive: with the theory of the center line, we are more likely to hit the target and the enemy is heavier.

3) Fast strikes with little shadow: Both hands can reach the enemy at the same time, so we don't need to turn our shoulders when striking, so the shadow of strikes (aura) will be small, and it is easy to take care of both left and right hands.

(3) The theory of burying the zheng: most of Wing Chun's strikes or defenses are made with the zheng close to the midline plane. The advantages are as follows:

①Cleverness: the center line can be grabbed to achieve the shortest distance and the heaviest attack.

②Defense: on the one hand, buried zheng itself has to protect a number of important parts of the body, and on the other hand, guard the center line in order to achieve the shortest distance defense.

(4) The theory of zheng: After Wing Chun strikes (whether attacking or defending), the hands and arms are no longer stored up, and the hand zheng is flexed for zheng, which not only facilitates one's own ability to attack with the same hands, but also makes it difficult for the enemy to take our joints on the defensive side, and guards the position more tightly.

(5) "Come and stay, go and send": "Come and stay" is a technique where the opponent strikes at us, and it is best to keep it as long as possible in addition to eliminating it, so as to control it by utilizing the feeling of the Wing Chun bridge hand-to-hand contact. "When the enemy strikes at us, we use our techniques to change the direction of the strike so that the attack cannot hit us, and if possible we should add force to the changed direction, so that the enemy loses momentum or uses old moves.

(6) "Throwing away the hand straight" method: "Throwing away the hand" is when the opponent suddenly withdraws the bridge hand that connects with me (regardless of any direction). Whenever the opponent "throws out his hand", we should be the first to send out a move to attack the enemy directly as the "direct charge". The "Come and Stay, Go and Send" and "Throwing Hands and Charging Straight" techniques are honed from sticky hand exercises.

(7) Defending and attacking at the same time: when we eliminate the other side of the attack, in the possible range we should be the same period of time to send moves to attack the opponent, so that it will be passive to active and to achieve the rear attack.

(8) Other aids:

1) Do not eliminate the "overcage": Wing Chun eliminates the opponent's hand in order to eliminate the opponent's hand without exceeding the range required for defense. If it is impossible for the opponent to hit us, then we do not need to use any elimination techniques. By not eliminating the "overcage", we can reduce the consumption of energy and time. The counterattack will be faster after the elimination.

②Not "chasing hands": "chasing hands", leaving the necessary range of defense to chase the opponent to contact the bridge hand. Wing Chun long in the bridge hand after the feeling and reaction. Therefore, it is very easy for beginners to subconsciously make the mistake of "chasing the hand". If the enemy's bridge hand is not within the range of my defense, we should not chase to contact other bridge hands, but should take the opportunity to attack the enemy in order to hit the enemy. If the opponent uses his bridge hand to neutralize our attack, then we will achieve the purpose of contacting the opponent's bridge hand; this is one of the methods of "searching for the bridge".

3) Do not "punch": Wing Chun strikes (attack or defense), horse stance up and down and transformation should be based on the principle of maintaining the center of gravity. Try to minimize the opportunity to be the other side of the force to "lose shape". "Loss of form" is the loss of the center of gravity and the inability to maintain a state of balance against the enemy.

4) Power without position: Wing Chun's "Attack" and "Defense" are based on the principle that power can be developed from any position. In other words, no matter where the hand is, it can be used to generate power without the need to withdraw the hand or raise it to a certain position to help generate power.

(2) "Inch power" is the power used in Wing Chun for attack and defense, also known as "spring power" or "short power": it is a short and explosive and can be used to deliver a killing blow within a short distance (about two inches). It is a short and explosive power that can strike the enemy within a short distance (about two inches) with lethal force. The "inch strength" is practiced from small thoughts, pulling empty fists and hitting sandbags.

(3) Sticky Hand Exercise: The purpose of this exercise is to:

(1) train the feeling and reaction to contact with the enemy's hand.

(2) To practice creating and finding gaps in the enemy's hand.

(3) Practicing the use of both hands for both left and right and for double mindedness.

(4) Practicing Wing Chun techniques such as "Staying and going", "Throwing the hand straight", "No need to cross the cage", "Not chasing the hand", etc.

(5) Practice attack and defense techniques and combinations.

(6) Practice the combination of techniques and horse stances.

The feeling is when the two sides of the bridge hand to hand, the other side of whether there is a break and gap, the direction of the other side of the strength and how to change, as well as the other side of the attack and defense of the other side of whether there is a break in all the "information" experience. Wing Chun emphasizes feeling and reaction. We believe that the reaction from the eyes is slower than the reaction from the hands after the bridge. This is because what is seen by the eyes has to be transmitted to the brain through the nerves, and then the brain gives the order to react appropriately. However, the sensory response of Hashi-Shakuho is sent through the spinal nerves in a shortcut, so the response is faster. After proper training, the feeling and reaction of bridge-hand connection will be achieved.
