We say it all the time that Wing Chun is a conceptual martial art who's techniques are worked best within the realm of being studied, rather than taken for truths.
I have found, over the course of my Wing Chun study, that these concepts or principles, are much more for life than fighting.
In Wing Chun we "Face" our enemy. So must this be in our lives.
In Wing Chun we absorb and re-direct incoming negative energy instead of meeting it with our own force.
We attack that which attacks us in Wing Chun.
A Wing Chun student must learn to be relaxed to see and feel everything that his/her enemy is doing so that they may have the right response.
We use angles to attack, we stay balanced in our foot work and we never back up.
All of these are Wing Chun foundations which allow a Wing Chun student to find the means to better understand the techniques learned. So must this be in life...Learn to never back up at our struggles. Change the angles, or way we look at problems and relax in times of stress so we may find the right solution.
All of these and more are truly more than fighting methods in Wing Chun...they are lessons for Life.
