I am trying real hard to learn more about Wing Chun. I live in Wisconsin and I think I have found a couple of good training partners that will teach me Wing Chun in exchange for Jiujitsu lessons.
BUt so far everyone I have contacted me comes back saying there is no real techniques that are considered Wing Chun. Wing Chun is simply a philosophy or a method. There are principles in Wing Chun but not techniques. Ok so 3 different people from different WC schools have emailed me back saying this same thing.
I am having a hard time getting around this becuase I want to learn the techniques or drills used in Wing Chun. I already have a good understanding of the techniques I just want to work on them more. I dont understand why people keep telling that WC in only about philosophy or a method and there are no techniques. Almost every martial arts school I have trained at talked about the centerline, sesativety training, sticking, taking the path of least resistance, body unity, relaxing and explosive power. Even the old Brazilian guys I have worked with showed me all of these things in BJJ and none of them have even heard of Wing Chun at the time. BUt at the same time I have like 20 videos on Wing Chun and each instructor is showing techniques from Wing Chun. 20 vids 5 different instructors and the techniques are all almost the same and they are with out a doubt Wing Chun techniques.
Sorry if this makes no sense!
