Although considered a "traditional" martial art, WingTsun (WT) is the product of continuous research and development for over 250 years. The WingTsun (WT) system was initially devised by a woman, to protect her against a much stronger attacker, she devised a system that would work WITH and not AGAINST the power of an attacker. This fact sets the WingTsun (WT) system apart from other martial styles where power and size determine success. Once a strong foundation in the basic principles of WingTsun (WT) has been developed by the student, the level of self-defence skills and each individual's physical capabilities will have greatly increased. Each student will have a greater understanding of what it takes mentally and physically to defend yourself and your loved ones - should the need ever arise. Best of all you will have a fun and interesting work-out, in a relaxed and friendly environment, meet people with similar interests and at the same time, increasing your knowledge of your body while you are learning. The WingTsun (WT) system is the largest professional martial arts organisation in the world, with in excess of 2,500 schools - just in Europe alone! The WingTsun (WT) self-defence techniques are taught and practised by international elite police and military units such as the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team, GSG9 (Germany), NOCS (Italy) and the US Marines, to name just a few. The WingTsun system is self defence in its most efficient and consistent form. Your own physical strength or prior abilities NEED NOT be the decisive factor in a threatening situation. The young or physically weak are always the first targets of aggressors. However, ANY person without major physical disabilities can gain self confidence and a level of fitness which will increase their self defence abilities by 500%. WingTsun training will teach you to direct the force of an attack against the attacker, i.e. to 'borrow' the energy of the attacker, 'charging up' one's own body and then effortlessly redirecting the energy back against its source. The Leung Ting system is one of the very few self defence systems that prepare you for every phase of a fight, using feet, fists, elbows and knees. Instead of retreating, a WingTsun student will advance and glue themselves to their assailant, rendering them unable to continue their attack. This proximity, combined with well-defined movements, will force the attacker into a helpless position. Advanced WingTsun students turn into an instant nightmare for any aggressor.
