THE TERM GUNG LIK IS OFTEN USED AND BANDED ABOUT BY MANY WING CHUN PRACTITIONERS, BUT WHAT EXACTLY IS MEANT BY GUNG LIK?
Gung Lik is not specifically a martial arts term; it is a generic term, which refers to the energy, skill or achievement that develops and is acquired over a long period of hard work, effort, practice and of course perseverance.
In essence, Gung Lik is the ability to make a complex set of movements or body mechanics look almost effortless! For instance, when you see a top chef chopping up vegetables, they manage to cut the vegetables into equal slices quickly, easily and without cutting themselves—often without even looking!
