Wing chun:الوينغ تشون

A look at Wing Chun                  

Until the early 20th century, the martial art known as Wing Chun was very obscure and not much was known about it. At that time, Wing Chun was just beginning, and not many martial artists practiced it. Over the years, it became a very dominant force in China, becoming one of the most prominent martial arts in existence. Even today, hundreds of martial artists study Wing Chun and all it has to offer. The first thing students learn when studying Wing Chun is that they must always use force to counter force. By using force against force, weaker, smaller fighters can easily and quickly take down larger, stronger opponents. Whenever they enter a confrontation, Wing Chun practitioners will use their mind—using their opponent's force and force against them. Throughout training, a great deal of emphasis is placed on this very concept. Students will learn all about force and force, and how to properly counter them. What many do not realize is the fact that counter force requires very little force from the practitioner. Even the weakest Wing Chun practitioner can take down an opponent 3-4 times their size if they use the proper technique and their opponents use force against them. Wing Chun teaches other techniques as well, such as punching, kicking, and a few grappling exercises. It doesn't teach much about grappling, as most techniques use force against force through throws and punches. The strikes taught in this martial art are very fast and target vital areas of the opponent's body. The majority of the most vital areas of the human body are found along the center line, the same area that Wing Chun stylists teach to protect as well as attack with their techniques. This line is the most vital in combat, and for this reason, martial artists should always direct their attacks toward any area along this line. Most vital points along the center line can be the end of a confrontation if the stylist is able to land a single powerful blow. As Wing Chun repeatedly emphasizes, the shortest straw between a stylist and an opponent is the center line, where most of the action occurs. Due to the linear style of Wing Chun, students will spend much of their training learning how to direct attacks and counter force toward the center line. Wing Chun is an exceptional martial art, teaching students how to use force against force in any type of confrontation. There are not many fighting tools or weapons used with Wing Chun, although the techniques and movements taught are tried and tested and above all - very effective for self-defense.
