Rare footage of Grandmaster Yip Man (aka Ip Man) practicing Wing Chun in 1972. This was shot not very long before his death. A very weak Yip Man, knowing he was dying, allowed this footage to be shot in order to preserve the art of Wing Chun for future generations.
The Yip Man Wing Chun system is self defense 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 defense abilities by 500%.
Wing Chun training will teach you to use the attacker's force against them, 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 Wing Chun system is one of the very few self defense systems that prepare you for every phase of a fight, using feet, fists, elbows and knees. Instead of retreating, a Wing Chun 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.
