What is the theory behind wing chung?

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:

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.

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?

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.

Wing chun looks interesting, alot to do with triangular stances(The strongest shape) and techniques, I have never studied it myself though.

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?

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.

When you say center line what exactly do you mean?

[busling]

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.
