We do Wing Chun in a traditional style, which is to say that we do it much like sigung Chris Chan in San Francisco does it. That means that we have an emphasis on doing a lot of dynamic tension to build power, and develop sensitivity through chisau later - power comes first.
We chisau heavy, while many schools start out very light to build sensitivity. Most of the schools in Portland chisau light, so our approach will feel different to students of those schools.
We do a lot of contact exercises, but this isn't the school to go to if you're looking for ring-style open sparring. We don't do any specific tournament preparation. We definitely train with the objective of learning to fight - this is not just for exercise, and it's not just for chisau.
