Ask ten different people at the Wing Chun Kung Fu Academy why they train Wing Chun and you’ll get ten different answers. “Some people train here for self-defense, others for fitness, stress-relief, improved confidence, coordination, focus, discipline, to socialize, or just for fun,” explains the instructor Master Joe Sayah. People can walk into the studio stressed, angry, and frustrated and after the class walk out relaxed, calm, and positive.
"Most people think martial arts is just
kicking and punching but there's a spiritual aspect to martial arts training,"
says Master Joe Sayah. "Through discipline you create good habits in your life
and a humble spirit. The hard work of martial arts training generates
self-discipline, character, fortitude, and strengthens the will to persist through
difficulties and pursue perfection in oneself." The training to become a
powerful martial arts fighter transcends the physical aspect carrying over to
make one a powerful individual spiritually and mentally as well. The mind,
body, and spirit are all connected and having a positive impact in one area
affects all three. Practicing wing chun helps people empower themselves and
attain greater wholeness.

Answers to the most frequently asked questions.
- Will Wing Chun help me to lose weight?
The simple answer is yes. Since Wing Chun provides the practitioner with a low intensity total body workout, calories will be burnt therefore aiding in weight loss. There are also classes that provide a higher intensity workout (more effective for overall fat-loss) that are run at the school, i.e. Cardio Kung-Fu.
- If I have a bad back or knee, can I learn Wing Chun?
Yes. The Wing Chun exercise regime stresses a complete balance between the strengthening and flexibility of muscle groups combined with proper posture during movement. Due to this format there have been many testimonials of back and knee improvement to concur the effectiveness of the Wing Chun methods of training.
- Am I too old to practice Wing Chun?
No. Strength, speed and stamina, and the qualities of youth are not necessary to achieve skill and effectiveness in the art of Wing Chun. Therefore Wing Chun provides people of all ages and abilities an art in which they can participate fully and enjoy all the benefits from. |

The origin of Wing Chun Kung Fu can be found in the turbulent, repressive Ching dynasty of over 250 years ago. It was a time when 90% of the Chinese race were known as the Hons and were ruled by the minority, who were the other 10% and were known as the Manchus. The Manchus placed a great amount of unjust law on the Hons. For instance, all the female Hon infants were made to bind their feet so that when they grew up they would be dependent upon their parents or husband. The work opportunity of the Hons was also very restricted. They were unable to hold office in Government higher than a certain level. Heavy tax burdens were placed on the country so that the Manchus could have economic control of the Hons. Kung Fu training was also banned for the Hons. Nevertheless, the Manchu Government eventually began adopting the Hon culture and they respected the Shil Lim Temple as a Buddhist sanctuary. |
