WingTsun News

WT is an ultra-soft system, some say. Others have problems with this claim, as it often sounds too soft and lacking in fighting spirit. They know that WT people can hit very hard, and they feel this is not taken into consideration when WT is described as a soft style. Not do many outsiders know what to make of this softness; they have visions of people gently shoving each other around, and ask themselves how this is supposed to work against a violent attacker...

WingTsun – a martial art that gives everybody, even the "weaker" sex, scope for effective self-defence. A soft, supple and adaptable martial art like a whiplash, merciless and uncompromising when used in earnest.
Is that all? Must we be satisfied with this? In fact there is much more to it than this!

This time let's discuss the phenomenon of the special power developed by WingTsun. This flexible power, which is sometimes said to have supernormal capabilities, is only developed after years of intensive practice. It is justly feared, as e.g. chain-punches executed with the use of this power have incredible effects on an attacker. Where does this force come from, and how can you train to develop it?

I had only a limited interest in sport when I was young. I was also unaware of the martial arts as competitive sports, and had no idea that there are also real fighting arts. I had only one passion, namely motorcycling and overhauling old bikes. And that is exactly what was to change my life completely. It was a serious motorcycle accident at the age of 19 that brought me to strength training after my muscle regeneration exercises.
