busling Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 I think you mean what are the prinicples of Wing Chun? If my assumption is correct then check out this link as a very basic starting point: http://www.angelfire.com/oh4/wingchun/theory.html I am sure that there are better explainations that, it was just a quick google search. Some of the most importance prinicples of Wing Chun are: * Centre/power/centra Line theory * Chi Sao and Chi Girk (sticky hands, stick legs) * Economy of movement There are others however I am in a hurry and their are better people on this board to answer the question.

eadragon21 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Hey- busling has it right on. To add a few, face the point of contact and train to use two arms at the same time. The thing about wing chun, is that you'll get different answers from almost anyone you talk to. That can be good and bad. Busling- I noticed you're in the Hung Suen Wing Chun group over there in Australia. Is that Sifu Rick Spain's organization by any chance, as I'm familiar with his reputation. If it is, do you know if he has any instructors over here in the States? Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingchunner Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 quite a bit of theory. But the basic idea(s) about Wing Chun are this: Use position and sensitivity which will economize what the person has to defend themselves.

Taku-Shimazu Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Wing chun looks interesting, alot to do with triangular stances(The strongest shape) and techniques, I have never studied it myself though. The cool summer breeze passes me by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_UKWC Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 What is the theory behind wing chung? That's a massive question! Some key ideas about Wing Chun theory: -Simultaneous attack and defence -Most direct line of attack -Domination of the centre line Is there anything specific you would like explained in detail?

busling Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 eadragon21 Yes it is Rick Spain's Lineage. I train under Si-Bak Alfredo Del-Brocco and his wife Rachael. They both trained under Rick and still have him as their Si-Fu. The website is https://www.combatcentres.com They do not have any teachers over in the states.

NineTailedFox Posted February 4, 2005 Author Share Posted February 4, 2005 When you say center line what exactly do you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busling Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Your centre line is vertical, in the middle of your body. It extends perpendicular (90 degrees) from your shoulders. If you are standing directly opposite some one , your centre lines are facing each other. If you twist your torso 45 degrees to the left, then your centre line is facing to the left of your opponent, even thou your feet have not moved. Wow that was hard to explain in text.
