Class Training

Chu Sau Lei/Ying Hung Wing Chun is a very comprehensive system; therefore, our class training consists of a variety of exercises and drills.

A typical training session will include a combination of the following:

1. form and structure testing
2. chain punching, turning punches
3. single man drills (e.g. taan da, lap da, etc.)
4. footwork drills
5. double man drills or 'slow sparring' (e.g. pak da to partners punch, hacking elbow, etc)
6. Chinese boxing skills (basic punches, combination punches, offensive/defensive strategy, pad work etc.)
7. clinch work and chin na
8. kicking and knees
9. gloved sparring
10. Chi Sao
11. conditioning exercises

The focus of the above exercises will be to train the correct use of body structure in the chosen drills or techniques, using a variety of the mental methods to apply the skills (e.g. enticing, sticking, sinking, issuing, linking & de-linking, intercepting, rubbing, closing in etc)

It must be stressed however that only training once a week in class will not promote a desirable progression in Wing Chun; therefore, students are encouraged to undertake additional practice/training in their own time. During the lesson each student will be advised on which areas they need to concentrate most.

Whenever a student does extra training, the results of their efforts are always apparent i.e. 'one will only get out what they put in'. 'Kung Fu' can be translated as 'hard work', therefore, to be good at Wing Chun Kung Fu one must train regularly and train mindfully.
