What’s Special about Ving Tsun

Straight forward and economical, Ving Tsun never wastes movement or time, which is why it is nicknamed “Lighting Fist” in Hong Kong.

Since it prefers to redirect incoming forces, rather than block them with force on force, Ving Tsun is a perfect style for women or men who may be smaller than their opponents. This responsiveness is developed through constant practice in Chi Sao, a hands-on interaction with another person.

Ving Tsun uses a few simple and logical principles in its fighting strategy, such as

-The shortest (and fastest) distance between two points is a straight line

-The centerline (the plane between the center of your body and the center of the opponents body) is key. Control the centerline and strike along the centerline.

-Do two (or three) things at once, rather than one at a time.

-Receive what comes, follow what leaves, strike when open.

These simple principles are behind every Ving Tsun technique and form, and develop a style of combat that is creative, fluid and extremely fast.
