OVER THE MANY YEARS I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THE TEACHING OF WING CHUN, TIME AND TIME AGAIN, MY STUDENTS (AND VISITORS TO OUR CLASSES) HAVE ASKED THE SAME QUESTION: “WHAT ARE THE KEY FACTORS THAT DETERMINE ONE IS MAKING GOOD PROGRESS THROUGH THE SYSTEM?”
Whilst the possible answers may seem endless and could involve everything from diligent practice and understanding the detail within the forms to practising specific drills or even mastering one’s “inner powers” (I’m kidding!), my answer has invariably been to focus on two things: correct structure of the body and the ability to relax under all circumstances.
