Si-Hing Steven Nelson before WT

Steve Nelson made a relatively late start into the world of the martial arts. As a kid Si-Hing Steven Nelson was always interested in martial arts, Si-Hing Steven Nelson would watch movies and he wish he could do what they did on the screen. Unfortunately he was a very shy and quiet child and never had the confidence to act on my dreams.

It wasn’t until Si-Hing Steven Nelson was 18 when Si-Hing Steven Nelson made his first foray in the fighting arts. Si-Hing Steven Nelson met a Kick Boxing instructor at his home town of Wagga Wagga and decided that he would “bite the bullet” so to speak, and give it a go. It certainly improved their fitness and confidence to a certain degree and Si-Hing Steven Nelson definitely enjoyed the classes.

The problem was, that the more he trained the more he realised the limitations of the system he was learning. Si-Hing Steven Nelson didn’t see the real world applications of a lot of the techniques. When he would be in a position to apply a flying knee? And in a crowded place wearing jeans, how practical is a high round kick going to be?

Once he moved to Sydney, his search for the right martial art for me began again. As a country boy in the “Big City” he felt he needed a method of self defence that would allow him to develop usable skills in a relatively short time. He also wanted it to be practical and effective. Fancy spinning kicks and complex moves look great on film but are just not realistic on the street, or in a club for that matter.

Starting of Si-Hing Steven Nelson with WT

Their search ended when he stumbled upon the website for WingTsun. Si-Hing Steven Nelson did some reading, checking out the history and the theories behind WingTsun. Even before he attended the demonstration class, Si-Hing Steven Nelson had a feeling that this could be what he had been looking for. Everything in the theory of how and why WingTsun is the way it is made complete sense to him and this feeling was confirmed on witnessing Si-Hing Otto in action in his demonstration. Every movement was direct and efficient, with no wasted energy, or un-necessarily flashy moves. Self defence in its purest form.

One of the major problems he saw in his kick boxing was that the bigger the opponent the harder it was to defend their attacks and the more power he had to exert to make their attacks effective. With WingTsun, due to there being no reliance on raw power, the size of one’s opponent is not a factor. The fact that the nature of WingTsun allows a physically smaller opponent to feel confident in their ability to defend themselves against a bigger and stronger opponent made a great deal of sense and was a major factor in his decision to study WingTsun. Si-Hing Steven Nelson confidence, both in his ability to defend ourself and in life in general have grown exponentially since the beginning of his training.

Si-Hing Steven Nelson has been studying WingTsun on most nights of the week since 2005 and am now full time. The more he learn, the more he love it and the more convinced he is that there is no more effective a method of self defence for the average person.

Steven Nelson is the real deal!
