What is Ving Tsun Kung Fu?Ving Tsun Kung Fu is an ancient martial art that has been preserved and passed down through generations in its authentic form. It is a complete traditional system of training. It was originally designed to quickly train fighters to help overthrow the Ching Dynasty during the 1600s. The Ching Dynasty was a Manchurian government that invaded into what is now southern China.
How is Moy Yat Ving Tsun Kung Fu different from other martial arts?Most martial arts are practiced as sports and students of these arts are required to demonstrate their fighting abilities in competition. Ving Tsun, on the other hand, is not a sport, and students in Moy Yat schools are not expected to compete in tournaments. While it's typical for other martial arts schools to charge fees for rank promotions, there are no adult belt ranks or achievement tests in Moy Yat Kung Fu schools. In contrast to the strict military-style hierarchy and protocol common in other martial arts, students generally interact in a relaxed and informal way at schools in the Moy Yat family.
What are some of the principles of Ving Tsun?Ving Tsun trains the martial artist in "Centerline Theory." Through forms and drills, the hands are conditioned to occupy the body's centerline. This is the best position from which to attack and defend. Economy of motion, simultaneous attack and defense, and relaxation are also at the heart of the Ving Tsun system.
