Ti Posted June 28, 2003 Posted June 28, 2003 Is there an online resource that teaches the basics of wing chun?
Prodigal Son Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 Chun can only be learned from a teacher. Even video tells you nothing about what is going on, because it's all about energy and sensitivity.

Ti Posted July 11, 2003 Author Posted July 11, 2003 I do Karate. I was interested in learnign some basics to mix it up a bit. Wing Chun is more effective. IMO
paralax19 Posted July 11, 2003 Posted July 11, 2003 Website. https://www.wingchuninteractive.com Will show you the 3 principles: Short distance power Sim attack and defence centre line theory. Plus the first form Sin lim Tao, which contains most basic moves. expt footwork. Then some basic application. Very good website!
Drunken Monkey Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 the problem with learning wing chun from books and videos is that you cannot learn the most important thing which is "feel". i cannot stress how futile it is to try to leant any wing chun without proper instruction. afer all you don't read a book and say you know how to drive... post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
Drunken Monkey Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 if you are going to learn anything of wing chun from books, websites or anything then try to read about the theories and principles. if you already know a martial art quite well then knowing HOW another art looks at things might be useful. learning their techniques however, will not. the thing with wing chun is that at the start, you learn how they punch, then hoiw they switch hands. after a bit of forms training, you should be familiar enough to beging to use the techniques against a partner. all this goes on whilst learning about the underlying principles. my point is, you can't just look at a website, copy the moves read the words and say you have learnt wing chun. it's the same with any martial art. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
Fa-Jing Posted September 2, 2003 Posted September 2, 2003 Vidios and books are only really good if u already know it . If you know are learning a form and forgot a move or 2 it can help. Sometimes a 2 preason exercise can be learned if u have exp in the arts or a new combo of things u already know. thats a bout it id say. You Will Never learn Internal Power From a Book Or Video. Theres nothing like the real thing. get a sifu is right if u can . "You punch like a pig and kick like a dog"
Davison Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 great site! Why punch someone when their on the ground when you can just kick them
