- WING CHUN | Iwcbrasil
WING CHUN Wing Chun (Ving Tsun or Wing Tsun) is a self-defense system that emerged in southern China, it is distinguished by the economy of movement, being a Realistic self defense system. Simple and efficient, the combat style lacks acrobatic movements. It is a unique martial art, developed to allow any type of person, regardless of size, strength or gender, to defend themselves against bigger and stronger aggressors. Its main difference from the other styles currently practiced is in the concept of defense. While in other martial arts it is sought to block the attacker's attacks and then counterattack, or even to deflect this attack and then counterattack, the basic principle of Wing Chun is to use the strength of the aggressor against himself, using defense and attack simultaneously. Although many masters around the world work together for the growth of Wing Chun, its great popularity came from its most famous practitioner, Bruce Lee, disciple of Yip Man, who used Wing Chun as a basis for developing his own fighting style later, Jeet Kune Do. History The history of Wing Chun begins in 1733 when the Shaolin Temple was destroyed by the Manchus. Yim Yee, one of the fifteen disciples who survived the attack, took refuge near the Tai Leung mountain and lived as a local merchant, with his daughter Yim Wing Chun. A local wrestler named Wong, in love with her, threatened her to marry him. Old Yim Yee, at his age, was no longer able to defend his daughter, but a customer who used to shop at his store noticed his concern and upon hearing his story decided to help him. This client, the nun Ng Mui, taught the old man's daughter for three years and after that Yim Wing Chun managed to defeat Wong. Shortly after Yim Wing Chun married the fighter de Kung Fu Leung Bok Chau. Watching her husband, Yim began to criticize her husband's style, who, upset by the constant criticism, challenged her and lost. Shortly after the defeat, he wanted to learn his wife's martial style and renamed it Wing Chun in her honor. Years later, Bok Chau taught Wing Chun to the doctor Lan Kwai, who only after old age decided to teach the style to a young Chinese opera actor named Wong Wah Bo. On one of his trips, Wah Bo met Yee Tei, a long-staff fighter. The two became great friends and with that friendship, one learned the techniques of the other. With the art already more evolved, Yee Tei taught the techniques to Leung Jan, a doctor and herbal traders who lived in Fatshan and Jan, in turn, taught the martial art to his children Leung Tsun and Leung Bik and also to some disciples. Near Leung Jan's trade there was a man named Chan Wah Shun, whose dream was to be his disciple. Leung Jan refused Chan's request, but without giving up on the dream, Chan met a student named Wah, known as the wooden man, who had that name for being very strong and constantly breaking the training dolls known as Mudjong (Mu ren zhuang) . So Chan was able to train the techniques. Wah ended up taking Chan to the training ground one day and told Leung Tsun, the master's son, that his friend was an expert in Wing Chun. Tsun challenged him and in a strong blow from Chan, Tsun fell and broke his father's chair, Master Jan. Everyone tried to fix it, but the night when the master sat on it, it fell apart. After explaining what had happened, Jan requested Chan's presence at the place and, after he showed his martial skills, the master ended up accepting him as his disciple. Chan worked with money, so it was common for him to have to use his techniques in real combat, which allowed him to improve his technique, making him he would eventually become a master of the style. As an old man, Chan was invited to teach Wing Chun at the ancestral temple of the wealthy Yip family, where he became the first master of Yip Man , who would later become the master ofBruce Lee . style features Minimalist with simple, short and fast movements; Simultaneous attack and defense techniques; Attacks focused on vital points and sensitive areas; Explosion in movements; Aim to reach and end combat quickly; Not elitist, and can be practiced by elderly people and without physical bearing.

First Section of the Siu Lim Tao Form of the Wing Chun System The first section of the Siu Lim Tao (SLT) form is fundamental to the Wing Chun system, introducing the Yee Gee Kim Yeung Ma stance. This foundation strengthens muscles, joints, tendons, and bones, grounding the practitioner's body structure. This stance demonstrates the symmetry of the body and the bilaterality necessary to develop defensive, offensive, and manipulative techniques with the hands and arms. Slowly practicing upper limb movements improves psychomotor coordination and body awareness, disciplining the mind and increasing concentration. Kim Yeung Ma's stationary structure helps calm the mind, promoting physical and mental relaxation. Starting the movements on the left side is crucial, as most people are right-handed, which balances the practitioner's abilities and develops ambidexterity. During practice, the body's structure should remain still, with body weight evenly distributed (50% on each leg) and the knee angle unchanged to avoid unnecessary movement. The hips should be projected forward and slightly upward, energetically connecting the upper limbs, especially the elbows, generating structural power (Jarn Dai Lik). The energy should be focused on the target in front, aligned with the body's central median line, projecting like the tip of an isosceles triangle. This ensures that both fists effectively reach the convergent point of the central line in any situation, also utilizing the sensitivity of the hands and arms (chi sao). The torso must remain still, without swaying or rotation. Direct and economical movements are emphasized, using energy efficiently to defend and attack vital points along the opponent's centerline. The first section of the SLT is an exercise in energy accumulation and refinement, combining smooth and firm movements (Yin and Yang), essential for executing punches with the power of the inch and relaxation. The practice involves physical exercises that develop energy and correct positions, using slow dynamic tension on the antagonist muscles (biceps and triceps) to generate adequate energy at the elbow. Explosive movements and changes train the use of accumulated energy. Neglecting the first section of the SLT prevents the development of the energy necessary for effective Wing Chun techniques. The precise angle of each movement must be adjusted according to the opponent's height, with special attention paid to maintaining relaxed shoulders and a natural posture. In Wing Chun, stances are based on the Theory of Triangles, which activate kinetic and energetic forces, directing them like a ship's bow that opens space in the center of the opponent's body, redirecting and diverting the opposing forces to the sides. This triangular structure separates, divides, or cuts, making it essential for the effective application of the system's techniques.
