Theory

The concepts of Ving Tsun as a unique Martial Art are rooted in optimization of the body for self-defense fighting. 

The insights that define the art:

  • Efficiency: both of movement and training time so that Ving Tsun fighting skill can be realized quickly.

  • Relaxation: of the body and mind, trained deeply enough to be maintained while facing attacks.

  • Centerline: intent and action focused on the shortest path to victory.

Practice

Forms Training:

The classical exercises of Chinese Kung Fu, perfected by generations of masters since antiquity. Learned in class, practiced individually, they develop the stance, posture, techniques, and power dynamics of the fighting art.

Partnered Drills:

The Ving Tsun system has a carefully constructed set of collaborative, hands-on exercises in which students are partnered to practice specific techniques with varying intensity and levels of resistance. The drills enable students to condition the body and develop Ving Tsun reflexes, with minimal risk of injury.

Benefits of Training

Kung Fu offers a way to maintain health and fitness while learning effective self-defense. Some unique health benefits of the system are improved joint health, denser bones and increased lung capacity. Although the public primarily thinks of kung fu as a way of fighting, Ving Tsun also promotes personal growth and its principles apply to all aspects of life.
