What is Wing Chun?

“Maintains a healthy body and a healthy mind”

Wing Chun is made up of two Chinese characters     
though most commonly spelled Wing Chun in English it can also be spelled Wing Tsun or Ving Tsun. Wing Chun is recognized as one of the most practical, devastatingly effective, no-nonsense self-defence martial arts in the world. Often referred to as ‘Hong Kong street fighting’, Wing Chun is often classed as a ‘soft style’ because of the minimal effort or physical force required to overcome larger, stronger opponents.
In today’s turbulent world Wing Chun not only offers an exceptional personal defence, Wing Chun training will also improve physical fitness, mental and physical relaxation and helps reduce stress through focus and correct breathing techniques.

“Wing Chun is the only truly practical street self-defence system that can be trained equally by everyone!”


Wing Chun is a logical, scientific, yet simple Chinese martial art system It was developed for practical and effective self-defence, and is a result oriented martial art known for its efficiency and economy of movement based upon the natural body
mechanics of the human musculoskeletal framework. It was developed for survival, self-defence and damage limitation, rather than for purely attack or for aesthetic appeal. Wing Chun, by using simple and direct short-range simultaneous attack and defence hand techniques, and using only low kicks and its simple but evasive footwork, combined with its logical and scientific methodology are some of the reasons why it is fast becoming one of the most popular Chinese martial arts around the world.


“Suitable for anybody, regardless of age, gender, or physique”

Employing several key concepts; sensitivity, contact reflexes, forward energy and ‘borrowing’ the opponent’s force, Wing Chun emphasises and utilises natural and efficient body mechanics, eliminating the necessity to use and rely on size and strength and is, therefore suitable for anybody, regardless of age, gender, or physique.

In today’s turbulent world Wing Chun not only offers an exceptional personal defence, Wing Chun training will also improve physical fitness, mental and physical relaxation and helps reduce stress through focus and correct breathing techniques.
