Trained Wing Chun for a while then left in pursuit of boxing and wrestling. Over the years I always found myself going back to It. Wing Chun is simply fascinating. It's ingenious, I have this intimate relationship with it. The concepts and principles are ahead of its time. It does have limitations most notably within its defence, counter-blocking measures, distance control but it's actually really practical and ideal for self-defence. Wing Chun is at its best when it's used in conjunction with other arts and styles. A tool, supplement, a means to an end if you will. The one thing it's severely lacking is conditioning. Students are as soft as butter. If you train Wing Chun make sure you condition your body. My second instructor was a former Muay Thai expert and he would incorporate the drills in our training to toughen us up. This helped and improved our overall skills immensely. My instructor said and I quote. "If a Wing Chun man adopts the mindset of a Thai boxer, you have a dangerous Wing Chun man."

Hiking through the Panther Hollow Trail I found this great spot just off trail to get some Wing Chun form work in. Going through Biu Je Section 1!
