Self Defence

Protecting yourself and your loved ones from violence is clearly an important issue in todays society.  Everyday we hear on the news and read in the paper that violent crime is on the increase,  still many of us never even see or hear of such incidents first hand. Statistically you are more likely to die of a heart attack than a violent assault and even these statistics are unreliable. However these attacks do happen and to the unlucky few, statistics offer no sympathy. In the immortal words of Baden Powell 'Be Prepared'. That doesnt mean live your life looking over your shoulder, rather increase your ability to handle change and difficult circumstances, including possible conflict.

Sadly there is no magic pill we can take to enhance our mental strength and fighting prowess, the only answer is progressive training in a style you enjoy, with like minded people. Wing Tsun training improves your posture and alignment with the ground, making you more powerful, helps you relax making you more adaptable and increases your confidence allowing you to act decisively should you need to.

'to be kind to your enemy is to be cruel to yourself'

The techniques are direct and aggressive aiming to put yourself out of harms way as quickly as possible. There are of course other issues to consider, swiftly and effectively dispatching an attacker is only beneficial if it remains within the limits of the law, self control is paramount in protecting yourself. The simplicity of the techniques makes them perfect for use in high pressure enviroments so much so that  elements of Wing Tsun are taught to special forces worldwide. All ranges of possible conflict are covered starting with the most common punches, elbows, knees, defending tackles and last resort strategies for dealing with sticks and other weapons, running of course being the only guarantee.
