Why Practice Wing Chun?

Hum, can you ppl tell me your reasons why do you practice or know someone who practices this style.
thanx. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

It is beautiful…
It is the most effective…
It is the most practical…
It has the most simplicity…
…And wing chun guys are cool…

It is

To me Ving Tsun is not a very ā€œbeautifulā€ art to watch, in fact a fight should only last 2 or so minutes tops the way it is designed. Ving Tsun is the only martial arts system out there that is scientifically based on the human body. With a science there has to be a formula and its there or at least it is in HFY. I dont understand why people would base an art on an animal or a bug, i mean why fight like a tiger or a snake or a crane or whatever else there is when we are humans, humans with two arms and two legs and we should learn the most efficiant way to use them. To do that it must be looked at scientifically so that you can get the most out of it. But i do see why people like the animal arts and that kind of stuff they are very beautiful arts, but once again they were developed because someone saw them fight or defend themselves and thought that it will work for us, and they made thier own expression out of what they saw,well against an ameture yeah it would but against someone that knows whats going on and understands time and space then the fight would be over in no time, or it should.
by no mean am i putting down any other martial arts out there i have great respect for them all.

Wing Chun fights are disigned to last 5 seconds tops when contact is made…
…And as for not being beautiful,to me personaly I think it is one of the best looking things in the world…

Hi!

The beauty lies within …

Armin.

the beauty of wing chun

i find beauty a very subjective concept
the forms when done correctly display a beauty to me as much as any other of the shaolin arts
ā€œthe beauty lies withinā€
spot on . :wink:

Beauty??

Wing Tsun is a brutal and swift style. If you find it beautiful, you think that violence and brutality is beautiful.

Not that I don’t like WT, mind you. Personally I find it the most effective form of Kung Fu. But far from the most beautiful.

Peace,

ā€œI know Kung Fu.ā€

Animals…

Erm…I think you’ll find that WC is based on ā€˜animals’…
That’s what I like about it, along with the inner relationship between mind/body.

Peace… :slight_smile:

fights should last 5 secs tops, unless you’ve done something wrong… but im not a wing chunner any more :frowning: :frowning: :frowning: :frowning: :frowning: :frowning: :frowning: :frowning:

ā€œwhen someone says that something is beautiful, and upon further probeing it is said to be beautiful beacuse it is of a paticular shape or color, i disregard all this. I cling to the idea that it is beutiful beacuse of the precensse within it, or in association with it, absolute beauty.ā€

last night i read every word Socrates ever wrote, and in it’s origional language 'ta boot! :smiley:

Cool! Read me one of his ā€œThings to Think About Todayā€ lists! :slight_smile:

I study WC becuase it is the most efficent form of fighting i have ever encountered…and i have searched.

If can name one that is more efficent, and can prove it…please inform me!

You’re so goth.

:smiley:

Cool

If you want to be cool, stay in school. :cool:

Socrates’ own stuff, or Plato’s dialogues? You read ancient Greek?

Soup is good food.

Joe of course man i love the style, i consider it to be my roots or foundation style. Im going to this tiger crane (hung gar) place for 3 months. Then, if i get the grades i’ll probably be goping to wales for 3 years to study at uni. Then i will be hoping to find a wing chun place.

If i have to resit the year i will stay at the tiger crane place. Which i think will be cool, but it’s not wing chun. :frowning: I’m sure once i get into it or see it beeing demo’d i’ll be like :eek: and fall in love with it :smiley:

As long as it’s cma, it’s all good baby.

heh, no

We were jokeing around the other day about how socrates never wanted his ā€œstuffā€ writen down, it was al plato’s doing. I have read much of Platos work, but only in English.

The true beauty of WIng Tsun lies in it’s versitility of techniques, hidden in it’s simplicity theory.

Hey, didn’t Ted Nugent say that? :confused:
