Hi 8nsteen8, thank you so much for this link, it's awesome. I have been practicing Wing Chun since 8 years now but I quit my teaching with my master after two years, because it did not go into the internal aspect, but since I had been doing Chi Kung for years before, I did awaken that power, and I had to explore it on my own, otherwise I would have really damaged my joints. Anyway this text contains some great clues, especially about grounding, which was totally overlooked in my training.

I will join a class of Weng Chun next week, my hope is that it will deal more with grounding, but if not I will just follow up the advice in this text.

Thanks again! fbf

Welcome to the forum Firebutterfly!

You may be interested to know that our grandmaster will be teaching an intensive course on Wing Choon Kung Fu in Penang from the 29th of April till the 5th of may.
This course promises to be a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn the essence of Wing Choon. I am certainly envious of those who get the opportunity to attend this!
Best of luck in your search for genuine internal martial arts!

Phil

P.S Here is the link to information regarding the above mentioned Wing Choon Course http://www.shaolin.org/
And the related forum thread http://www.wongkiewkit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9133

Thank you Shaolin Fist!
I actually stumbled on a video of master Wong Kiew Kit performing Wing Chun forms, and an announcement of his course in may, right after I posted this message... Like you, I will not be able to attend, even though I wish I could. But to be honest, the pure fact that this great master (who brought me in contact with Chi Kung and Shaolin via his writing) is interested in Wing Chun gives me an incredible boost in motivation, to continue my practice into the very depth of it's essence.

Hello Stonecrusher,
Your name made me wonder if you really are able to crush stones..?
I cannot - I wonder how these things are possible.

Thanks for pointing out the article. I appreciate that the Master is trying to let people know there is an internal side to Wing Choon.

Regarding Chi Sau, as I mentioned in another thread, our Sifu often amazes people with his ability to sense and deflect attacks without even "seeing" the attacks as one would in a conventional sense, that is, via the eyes. Sifu tells us it comes from his training in Chi Sau during his Wing Choon training days.

Hello firebutterfly,

Stonecrusher is just my internet name. I'm not trying to crush any stones,but yes stones can be crushed with the palm.

Yes indeed!
He deflects the attack without "seeing" it, because the opponent is, in his perceptiod, slowed down. Besides, he hardly moves while deflecting the attack.

When I analysed the videos that we have taken during the Taijiquan course in the Blue Mountain, and also when I Watched Sifu sparring with my dear Shaolin Wahnam brothers who are highly proficient themselves, I realised that Sifus movements are absolutely "internal" without visual expression. However, his chi is moving more vigorously to compensate this. (I am not sure if the word "compensate" is right here, but I do not find another term from the time being.)

For the first time I grasped the meaning of an internal martial art.

Well said Irina

in chi sao practice one does not rely on your eyes but by touch mostly. in close range if you wait for you eyes to convey information to your hands is fare slower then relying on touch. one can almost move at the same time the opponents moves.
