The Wing Chun Association

The Wing Chun association is a body that combines individual teachers and schools. There are several different types of associations; however, the majority of them do not have any legal status and are commercial enterprises. In most cases, an association accredits affiliated schools, and some are structured as franchise systems. Some of these associations promote the values of obedience and obligations to one's teacher and master.

Siu-Nim-Tau

The Siu-Nim-Tau wing chun Association is an international organization that provides quality instruction and certification in kung fu. The Siu-Nim-Tau system focuses on fundamental development and a humble beginning. It addresses physical, psychological, and spiritual aspects of life. It teaches the practitioner how to uncover and point to the Mind, and how to attain Suchness. This is a key element for realization of truth and reality.

The Siu-Nim-Tau style is practiced with different hand movements. There are several different variations of the form, including a stance and two arm positions. The first form is the Siu-Nim-Tau (meaning "one-inch punch" in Chinese), which focuses on striking power at close range. The second form is the Chum Kiu (or "two-inch punch"), which focuses on contact with an opponent's limbs.

Siu-Nim-Tau is a powerful and mysterious art, and the best way to learn it is to learn from a master. While the martial art is based on the physical principles of the kung fu system, it also teaches how to control and channel mind force. To achieve this, the practitioner should practice without a mirror.

Siu-Nim-Tau is a discipline of striking and grappling. It has many practical applications, such as kicking and striking. In the Yuen Kay Shan / Sum Nung branch, kung fu students historically used this style to throw darts. However, it should not be confused with actual combat. The aim of Wing Chun is to develop the body's sensitivity.

Siu-Gung

Siu-Gung Wing Chun is a Chinese martial art. It originated in the Han Dynasty and is considered one of the oldest and most prestigious forms of martial arts. During this time, the practice of Wing Chun was forbidden for non-Han people. This practice took on a mysterious and legendary persona. It was made famous by the famous novel, 10,000 Years Ching, which talks about characters such as Ng Mui, Chee Sim, and Hung Hei Goon. This novel also gave rise to many Chinese fairy tales and stories.

When Yip Man first began teaching Wing Chun, he was only 17 years old and studied it under Leung Wah Shun. In 1951, he became a formal student of Yip Man and trained under him. At the time, Yip Man was teaching Wing Chun to over two dozen students. His students included Leung Sheung, who was famous for his pole set, Chu Shong Tin, and Lok Yiu. As the popularity of the art grew, Yip Man began teaching it publicly to restaurant workers. He also taught the art to foreigners.

In addition to the training of Siu-Gung Wing Chun, the IWKA also teaches a system of Wing Tsun known as Ip Man Wing Chun. This system is passed down from Sifu Leung Ting in private lessons in Hong Kong and Shunde, China. This system involves internal exercises known as Neigong, which include Jing, Qi, and Shen, as well as external exercises.

Si Jo

The Si Jo Fen are a set of ten rules for practicing Wing Chun. They are copied in many schools around the world and have helped to shape the Wing Chun community. The rules describe proper behavior, both in and outside of the school. The two philosophies seem to reflect opposing tendencies within the Wing Chun community.

Si Jo is the most basic form of Wing Chun, and is often performed on a dummy for training. This form has many variations, originating from different branches of Wing Chun Kung Fu. For example, the Nguyen Te-Cong and Wai Yan branches have different curricula for empty hand forms. Other branching systems are Tam Yeung and Fung Sang.

The Si Jo form is also one of the most important forms in Wing Chun. It teaches power through short distances, and also teaches emergency techniques. The Si Jo does not break down into three parts as easily as Siu Nim Tao. Nevertheless, it is very useful in situations where you need to turn a corner quickly.

Wing Chun is a very ancient art. It has been practiced by countless people for hundreds of years. In fact, the Wing Chun Do system was founded by James DeMiles, who was an early student of Bruce Lee. Although he did not learn the traditional Wing Chun, he used the term Sijo. The word Sijo does not mean Wing Chun master, but rather means father or teacher.

Grandmaster Swift

Among the most well-known teachers of Wing Chun Kung Fu, Grandmaster Swift is a man of integrity. He is a veteran of the martial arts, and has saved several women and men from harm. He lives in Tampa, Florida, where he teaches Wing Chun Kung Fu.

Grandmaster Swift has been practicing Wing Chun for over 20 years. He has taught over 2,000 students from 34 countries. He is the only Chief Instructor of Traditional Wing Chun in former USSR countries and is an instructor for airborne troops. He also has authored several popular books and seminars on the art.

Wing Chun is a traditional Chinese martial art that originated in southern China 300 years ago. It draws heavily on animal styles like Shaolin Kung Fu and is a fast and practical form of combat. The main goal of Wing Chun is to disable an opponent through correct body structure and alignment. The most prominent lineage of Wing Chun is Traditional Wing Chun, which is descended from the famous Grandmaster Yip Man. The current Grandmaster of Traditional Wing Chun is William Cheung.

The other instructors of the Wing Chun Association are Sifu Darrell Jordan and John Barton. They are both Masters of the art, and each has a wealth of experience in teaching Wing Chun. Their experience is varied, ranging from personal training to teaching other martial arts. The Association is committed to educating students to achieve the highest possible standard.

Master William Kwok

The New York State Assemblyman Peter Abbate has chosen Master William Kwok of the Wing Chun Association to receive the Certificate of Merit for his contributions to Chinese culture, the martial arts, and the community. A certificate of merit is given to individuals for their extraordinary contributions to their community or state.

Master Kwok's history with Wing Chun goes back to his time studying with Yip Chun, the father and master of Yip Man. He has taught Wing Chun for almost forty years in New York City and around the world. His school has been featured in China Central Television's "The Wing Chun Way" documentary.

Master Kwok is also a prominent academic. He is a Doctor of Education candidate at Northeastern University, where his research focuses on mindfulness. He also holds master's degrees in education from Harvard University and St. John's University. He has also studied physical education at Columbia University.

Wing Chun is a martial art that emphasizes balance, timing, and simultaneity. The style is highly effective for self-defense, and many Hollywood stars have been known to practice Wing Chun. There are three forms in Wing Chun: the Siu Lim Tao, Chum Kiu, and Biu Tze. Each of these forms has various moves and techniques. The first hand form in Wing Chun is the Kau Cha Sau, which helps you find your center-line and many other techniques are derivatives of this technique. Beginners must practice these forms first before they can practice individual techniques.

A good Wing Chun instructor always strives to learn and improve his teaching skills. Teaching is not a natural skill, so it takes time to master.

Grandmaster Wan

As one of the foremost teachers in the Wing Chun art, Grandmaster Wan has been a major contributor to the art's development and continued evolution over the years. He studied under many masters and developed his own style of Wing Chun, which he named Practical Wing Chun. This system has many uses and is very effective for self-defense.

Jiu Wan's son also teaches the martial arts. His other main students include Chiu Hung-Kwan, Jason Lau, and Francis Fong. Francis Fong is a native of Hong Kong, and first began martial arts training when he was twelve years old. He studied Judo and Tae Kwon Do before he was influenced by the Wing Chun style.

Grandmaster Wan was born in Guangdong Province, Southern China. He studied with various traditional styles of Kung Fu before emigrating to Hong Kong in 1959. His first teacher was YIP Man's first disciple LEUNG Sheung, and he later joined WONG Shun Leung's school in 1962.

Yip Man's life story is fascinating. He started training Wing Chun at the age of thirteen. After three years, his master, Chan Wah Shun, died and Ng was asked to continue Yip Man's training.
