At Preston Wing Chun we study, practice and teach Traditional Ip Family Wing Chun as taught by Grand-master Samuel Kwok and are proud to be affiliated too and a member of the Grandmaster Samuel Kwok Wing Chun Martial Arts Association which is a member of the British Council for Chinese Martial Arts -(BCCMA), the official Governing Body for Chinese Martial Arts in the UK and a member of the International Ving Tsun Athletic Association.
Wing Chun is an explosive close range combat martial art system that originated in southern China 300 to 400 years ago. The system consists of three empty hand forms, wooden dummy form and two weapons forms. Wing Chun is unique compared to most other martial arts in that it does not rely on strength against strength making it more suitable for persons of a small build or stature.

The second weapons form within the Wing Chun system. The Wing Chun knives are used like an extension of the hand as most of the moves have similar concepts as the hand movements from the hand forms. The Wing Chun pole is the first of two weapons within the Wing Chun system.
The pole itself measures nine feet in length and tapers roughly from one and half inch at one end down to an inch, the length can actually vary from school to school with some schools using poles up to twelve feet in length.The wooden dummy or wooden man form consists of seven sections with each section consisting of various techniques that in turn have a practical fighting application associated with each one.

The first empty hand form of Wing Chun, the most important form contains within it the primary hand moves within the whole system. Performed stationary in a single stance represents the foundation the system is built on. You could say that "Sil Lim Tau" is as deep as the ocean for it has so much to offer.
The third empty hand form of Wing Chun. Said to contain emergency techniques, introduces elbows for attacking close quarters, circle stepping and thrusting finger strikes to vulnerable weak areas and pressure points. Introduces the use of apposing two directional forces to control and overcome your opponent, also helps develop the use and release of energy through the extremities.

My son and I have been practicing wing chun for a few months . we've had lots of fun and I have found it to be very practical and effective way of self-defense . But on a personal note it's been a great way of bonding with my preteen son aged of 11 years . And he's enjoyed beating the seven bells out of his dad . Our sifu Ian really great down to earth person and is a great teacher, whom we've learnt a great deal from . Happy New year to all ✋👊
