Wing Chun is a profound body-mind training system, a unique combat science and a practical martial art. Training in Wing Chun develops martial power, co-ordination, fitness, timing and optimal health.
At Internal Wing Chun Training Manchester, we offer practical, effective and inspirational training sessions in this awesome martial art passed down in the best possible lineage from our studio in Manchester.
Wing Chun originated in China and has evolved, adapted and changed as it has been passed down from teacher to student over the years. However, the core principles - the concepts - of directness, practicality and efficiency remain the same.
Our teacher has been taught by some of the best Wing Chun coaches in the world. His training in Wing Chun has spanned 5 decades and encompassed the best lineages. He has taught in Ireland, South Korea, China and Manchester.
As a result of training, research and testing, we have refined and streamlined traditional versions of this famous martial art into a real world combat system for the 21st Century and the next level of evolution of Wing Chun.
Our Wing Chun comes to us from Ip Man and draws on the best traditional lineages, including:
Wong Shun Leung - Ip Man’s best student and the “King of talking hands”. Wong Shun Leung refined the “science of close range combat” and took Wing Chun to the next level. Our teacher has trained with several of Wong Shun Leung’s best students and absorbed their methods.
Joseph Cheng - the first person to teach Wing Chun openly in Europe, and one time coach to the British Karate Team and the Saudi Royal Family.
and the Ip Brothers - Ip Man’s sons.
Our Wing Chun lineage is impeccable - in terms of training and exposure, we are second to none. Our teacher has had access to the best Wing Chun men on the planet who have openly shared their Wing Chun with him.
However, even though our Wing Chun lineage is outstanding, we don’t hide behind the word “lineage.” We don’t use somebody else’s name to promote our Wing Chun.
Our Wing Chun skill- our true lineage - speaks for itself. To train with us is to be a Wing Chun insider and embark on a journey to mastery.
Our training consists of:
Forms: reference guides, internal alchemy and structures of the system. The three hand forms, the wooden dummy form and weapons forms provide movement templates and develop different powers, co-ordination and excellent health.
Chi sao: 2 person drills that develop the ability to apply the concepts of directness and efficiency. Chi sao is a unique training method that teaches us to absorb, borrow and redirect force, and improves co-ordination and timing.
Conditioning: strengthening and toughening the anatomical tools to weaponise the body.
