An Outline of the Wing Chun Training Style

Wing chun is probably one of the most well known kung fu systems in the world, mainly due to the exploits of Bruce Lee, who popularised King Fu, especially Wing Chun to the western world.

But you don’t need to have the talent, strength or skill of Bruce Lee to learn Wing Chun.  In fact as legend has it, Wing Chun was taught to a humble village girl in China from a Nun of the Shaolin Temple. Wing Chun was created for Women.

Wing chun does not rely on Brute strength alone as it is formulate by a series of forms and concepts.  These are taught at the very beginning of your wing chun training.

As a beginner you will start a life time relationship with the Sil lim tao form -the first form of Wing Chun.  This is where the foundation concepts and ideas of the wing chum system are learned. You learn the basic stance and defensive guards and tools of Wing Chun.

Next form is Chum Kill also known as bridging the gap- where advanced footwork is introduced and attacking moves and strategies.  Bridging the gap refers to the gap between you and your opponent and how to make up that ground in an attacking manner to nullify and win over your opponent.  Think of it this way if you opponent is at a distance away from you where they cannot reach to punch, kick or pose any physical harm- they do not pose an immediate threat. Remember ‘stick and stones will break bones but words never harm.

Have the confidence to walk aware from a verbal stouch, the real threat is if it comes physical. The distance between you and your opponent is the space between your safety and your danger point.  If you want to instigate an exchange making up this ground where you are within reach of your opponents fist and feet, this is the most dangerous ground to make up. Chum Kill teaches you how to make up this ground to devastating effect.

Bill Jee is the most advanced form in the Wing Chun training system where you train to strike with your fingers.  The basic idea is that fighting with this technique amongst other thinks increases your range to strike your opponent and targets specific areas.  This is a very advanced technique and probably beyond the scope of this article but be wary a little knowledge is a dangerous thing so treat this information as informational purposes only.

The one thing that distinguishes Wing Chun from other styles is Chi Sao. This is a sparring technique where you apply the hand forms learned by the previous wing chun training forms and apply them to a sparring/ fighting situation.  The sticky hands technique teaches how to guard/attack by the feel of your opponents arms.

Chi sao is engaged at the wrist range where the wing chun practitioners work to break through the others defences. You Block your opponents attacks by sticking to their wrist, controlling their attacks and setting up your own.

It is a lot more involved than this, however it is a critical part of your wing chun training.

Finally you have the Wing Chun Dummy to contend with.  This simple wooden dummy provides infinite amount of concepts and strategies to practice from-and can take a beating only thing I would warn is to work on your conditioning. The Muk yan jong or wooden dummy will be a tireless training tool you can use for a long time ..You will need to condition your arms during your wing chun wooden dummy training, as it is quite solid, however its is an invaluable toll that will serve you well in your training.

Adversity or strategy? The effect of credit constraint and expectation on mortgage default and personal bankruptcy decisions. $49.99 This thesis contributes to the literature on mortgage default and personal bankruptcy with empirical findings, which disentangle the two mainstream theories: the willingness-to-pay theory and the ability-to-pay theory. The emphasis is on credit constraints and insolvency in order to integrate these two theories. The estimation results of a model of simultaneous choices between mortgage and nonmortgage delinquency suggest that credit constraints and borrowers’ insolvency are the bridge between the two conflicting theories. I also find the importance of backward-looking expectations and the homestead exemption in households’ decisions on mortgage default and bankruptcy. In addition, with a model of bankruptcy decisions, I show that credit constrained and seriously financially distressed households act more “ruthlessly” based on their financial benefit from bankruptcy filings.

Art and Embodiment: From Aesthetics to Self-Consciousness $175 In his Critical Aesthetics and Postmodernism, Paul Crowther argued that art and aesthetic experiences have the capacity to humanize. In Art and Embodiment he develops this theme in much greater depth, arguing that art can bridge the gap between philosophy’s traditional striving for generality and completeness, and the concreteness and contingency of humanity’s basic relation to the world. As the key element in his theory, he proposes an ecological definition of art. His strategy involves first mapping out and analyzing the logical boundaries and ontological structures of the aesthetic domain. He then considers key concepts from this analysis in the light of a tradition in Continental philosophy (notably the work of Kant, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, and Hegel) which–by virtue of the philosophical significance that it assigns to art–significantly anticipates the ecological conception. On this basis, Crowther is able to give a full formulation of his ecological definition. Art, in making sensible or imaginative material into symbolic form, harmonizes and conserves what is unique and what is general in human experience. The aesthetic domain answers basic needs intrinsic to self-consciousness itself, and art is the highest realization of such needs. In the creation and reception of art the embodied subject is fully at home with his or her environment.
