I Want To Study Wing Chun In A While, Can I Do Anything On My Own That Would Be Helpful In The Meantime?

3 Comments

I am having difficulty finding a teacher or school close by, but I would really like to do something to get underway in learning Wing Chun even before I find a teacher.
Are there any physical exercises or drills or practices that are done in Wing Chun that you could explain to me how to do?

    I suggest you go to Youtube.com and look for Choson ninja. http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZXeaZq9bALg
    This is a wing chung drill from choson ninja, but he has tons more.
    also, I suggest you stretch so you can gain flexibility.
    Go to TricksTutorials.com and go on the flexibility section.
    OH and do alot of pushups for arm strength!

    Its good that you are trying to develop yourself before working Wing Chun. Wing Chun uses a pretty unique structure in its punches. As a result, it would be useful to read up on how the punch works (jik choi) and learn a basic cycle punch. The WC punch comes from the centreline (centre of the chest). I teach my students to practise first single punches (with alternating arms), then two punches, three etc. If you can go from one to ten repetitions ten times each, your punching will develop quickly 1×10, 2×10, 3×10, etc).
    Exercise such as push-claps (press-up position and then push yourself off the ground and clap before landing back in press up position) will develop explosive power.
    It would be useful for you to get a decein introductory book on Wing Chun such as James Yimm Lee’s Wing Chun to understand the basic theories of the WC system.
    Hope that helps a little

    Work on your cardio. That will help you with any Martial art that you want to learn. Running, biking, elliptical machine, swimming, and aerobics all will help condition your heart and lungs to be able to handle the workouts required in many studios.
    Good luck.
