Wing Chun is a very complete Martial Art.It is based on physics, common sense, theory, and practical self defense. Both mental and physical skills must be learned.The most important thing to understand when learning Wing Chun, is the principles. Without understanding the principles of the art, a practicioner will be limited to only applying examples that the teacher has shown. If one understands the principle behind a motion, a thousand examples can be made.You must also develope the mindset of a Wing Chun fighter.

| Wing Chun is both external and internal. The external (yang) side of the art corresponds to the physical aspects, whereas the internal (yin ) side corresponds to the mental aspect.Wing Chun theory is subdivided into four categories of yin and yang. The yang consist of technique, power, timing, and angle structure. The yin consist of emptiness, stillness, sinking, and softness. |

>Both external and internal sides of the art are developed at the same time, unlike other internal arts such as Xinyi,bagua, and Taiji, where standing practice is the foundation.The yee gee kim yum ma stance in wing chun, is used as a primary meditation stance, while the first form is executed without moving the stance, the upper body is still in motion.

 | The Wing Chun forms are designed to build a Wing Chun body, to stretch the tendons, fascia, ligaments, and to loosen the body so one can generate proper strength, softness, flexibility, power and technique. If the body is not loose, one cannot generate the short power, that Wing Chun is most famous for.
