I WANNA LEARN ... ... WING TSUN

WING Tsun, a form of Chinese kung fu, stands out among the many other martial arts as a very simple but practical fighting style that is very popular worldwide.

It is a collection of techniques passed down to successive generations in the coastal provinces of south-east China for over 250 years.

The special forces of many countries around the world are learning the Wing Tsun system as refined by the grandmaster, Leung Ting.

Although many Wing Tsun students may have learnt other forms of martial arts, a large percentage convert to Wing Tsun the moment they start to practise it because it doesn't have any fancy movements and one doesn't need to use brute force to fight a stronger opponent.

The International Wing Tsun Martial Arts Association offers courses of all levels to anyone who is interested. The courses cost $420 per month. Lessons are held twice a week, and last two hours.

Students wear a uniform of T-shirt, shorts and a special shoes. The uniform and shoes can be bought from the association for $200.
