Realistic Wing Chun training

Our training methods are proven to work for high intensity,realistic street self-defence. We train for all the ranges to include kicking range, close quarter, trapping, grappling, ground, multiple attackers, and weapons.

Our physical conditioning works the whole body, building functional strength, endurance, agility and flexibility, using a variety of training methods from natural body-weight exercises to free-weights.

Your training will involve working with focus-pads, kick shields, heavy punch bags, medicine balls, kettlebells and junglegym. Emphasis will be to build and improve progressively,all of the following:

a) power and speed (Wing Chun is known for its machine gun like rapid fire strikes)
b) developing strength in the tendons,ligaments and muscles
c) Core conditioning to generate power, add stability and to help the body cope with the demands of training.

You will balance the physical training by learning and developing your Martial skills and techniques. The skills the student learns are not just for the training room, they are pressure tested in demanding circumstances, so ultimately the student is confident in his/her ability to defend themselves. By a natural process the student will discard techniques that are not effective and by the same process retain those techniques that work.

Realistic Wing Chun's training is split into two components

Component One

COMBAT TRAINING - skill development, which would include the following: . Trapping
• Grappling
• Partner Fighting Drills
• Individual fighting skills

SPECIFIC
• Heavy Bag
• Kick shield
• Focus Pads
• Speed Ball
• Basic Training (footwork drills, hand drills, kicking drills,Mook Yan Jong
(wooden man) drills,forms,etc)

This is a snap shot of a typical training session, not all of what you see above would be trained in one session as that would be to demanding both physically and mentally for all involved. Sessions normally cover at least one topic from both combat training and specific training ensuring that they are relevant to your level of understanding.

Most schools have a one size trains all syllabus! Everybody has to train on the same techniques at the same time and are restricted by a traditional reluctance to explain what you are doing and how it fits into the bigger picture.

Well here at Realistic Wing Chun you get the best of the best, we only recommend what has worked for us in the past & present we are always avaliable to chat to students whether during a session or outside by phone or email or even on the Team's facebook page.

Component Two

SUPPLEMENTARY PHYSICAL CONDITIONING
• Flexibility
• Bodyweight exercises
• Isometrics
• strength Development
• Nutrition & supplementation (for those who like to go that one step further)
• Weight Training

Component two should be an integral part of the overall training regime.

Martial arts have come to the mainstream in the form of MMA. Classes have sprung up teaching people how to be MMA fighters which is great! from one point of view it increases the average Martial Artist's awareness of the need to be in condition IE if your unable to complete 100 hindu squats and at least 50 hindu push-ups then its fair to say that your phyical stamina is lacking as is strength, but that is a problem easily fixed by acknowledging you need to increase your fitness then thats half the battle, the easy half though. For more information on conditioning see online training

Here at Realistic Wing chun we can supply you with a supplementary training programme to be worked on outside of your specific training time with the Sifu. The benefits of this programme is goal orientated, whilst you will see improvements in your art such as not running out of gas whilst training on pads and footwork drills, you will also experience fat loss, improved muscle tone and increased energy and access to a wealth of knowledge. All of which people normally pay large gym facilities hard earned cash to slave away on machines and have a personal trainer offer you help and guidance only if you pay through the teeth for it!

The length of the training sessions may vary according to your schedule. Weight training can be from forty five to sixty minutes depending on what body parts you are training.

Rest and recuperation are vital for recovery, so this must be incorporated into any training programme that you do.

It is important for a student to train specific attributes.

We believe that this type of training is more advanced than the typical Kwoon scenario. Training like this helps to ensure that your skills won't let you down and neither will your physical conditioning.
