What is Wing Tsun?

Wing Tsun or WT refers specifically to the Leung Ting self-defence System of Wing Tsun,

WT centers on unique, multi-faceted techniques which can only be learned by concentrated practice and conscious willingness. Flowing movements and sudden speed combine into systematic, coordinated sequences and blend to form a powerful and holistic response to an attack. Systematic Wing Tsun training improves your physical and mental flexibility and heightens your perception.

Wing Tsun builds on the existing potential of each student. It is not muscular strength and stamina that are required for Wing Tsun, but the willingness to let your body respond, to get to know your strengths and to put them to use. Training centers on learning a coordinated and healthy way of moving and heightened physical and mental perception rather than brute force or mindless conditioning.

Learning Wing Tsun gives you a new awareness of your body and a new level of self-assurance. Intensive training gives students more confidence as they become aware of their capabilities and potential. Personal constraints become less important in day-to-day living. Wing Tsun students are no longer the "victim-type" and for this reason alone rarely get into dangerous situations.

But if the need arises they possess an effective and uncompromising system of unarmed defence. The Wing Tsun practitioner absorbs the strength of the attacker, converts it into his or her own strength, reinforces it and directs it back at the attacker. An attacker’s strengths therefore immediately become weaknesses for the WT fighter to exploit – the aggressor’s every move simply making his own defeat more inevitable.
