How to learn Wing Chun(咏春)
Wing Chun is a style of kung fu that emphasizes close fighting, quick punches(击拳)and tight defense to overcome opponents. This traditional Chinese martial art is a complex kung fu method that requires years of practice to master.
Learn the center line theory
A foundation of Wing Chun is the protection of your body’s center line. Imagine a line that starts at the middle top of your head and travels along the middle of your chest to the lower body.
Find a Wing Chun Academy
Martial arts schools often focus on one style of martial arts, especially for serious students. Wing Chun academies or clubs may be attached to a martial arts association. Search online or in a phone book for local Wing Chun schools. And then meet with the instructors and ask about their background.
Find an area in your house where you can practice Wing Chun. Make sure there is enough room for you to move your body around in all directions. Check by swinging your arms and legs around. You do not want your moves to be disturbed by furniture in the room.
