About Harpenden Wing Chun
Bill Fullick Tim Stanbridge
Assistant Instructors.
Have been training in wing chun for approx 5 years.
We also Train on Thursday's
Roundwood Park School 7.30 to 9.00pm
In the Gym/Hall/Canteen
We
are there to share our knowledge and Widen and improve - sharing our
experiences, ideas
explanations to help each other out on the path of Wing Chun.
On Thursday's we practice the
1st form ( Siu Lim Tao)
2nd form (Chum Kiu)
3rd form (Bil Jee)
Chi Sao (Sticky Hands)
Wooden Dummy ( Muk Yan Jong )
6 1/2 Pole (Luk Dim Boon Kwan)
After the 1st form,
students move on to Chum Kiu, which teaches students how to move and use their
stance in a fighting situation. The third form is taught last, and teaches
emergency techniques.
As well as the
forms, we practice techniques with a partner, we also cover common street
scenarios and how to deal with different situations. For instance, someone
grabbing you in the street, or an assailant with a knife. Even if someone only
picks up a small amount of knowledge, it could be just enough to defend them in
the street.
As well as pair
work, we practice 'Chi Sao' which translates as double sticking hands. Because
Wing Chun is practised at such point blank range, sparring can be dangerous.
Chi sao is practised in the wing chun system to develop sensitivity and
reflexes and later leads to sparring, and essentially teaches you how to fight,
adapt to a situation and how take control of an opponent. Chi sao develops
extreme sensitivity in the arms, and later is practised blind folded.
