Wong Shun Leung Ving Tsun — The Ving Tsun Combat Theory |
Ving Tsun Martial Arts is a fighting technique that is refined and intriguing. It is analogous to a reel of cloth, the result of which can be a fine garment made to suit one's tastes, reflecting the person's beliefs, wisdom and experience. Yet, the essence of the material remains unchanged.
You may find a number of different Ving Tsun systems mentioned on the Internet today. To us, everyone practising Ving Tsun is a friend, and we are always keen to learn about their ideas and interpretations. |
| Q & A : |
Q: What kind of Ving Tsun is taught at the Martial Arts Institute?
A: We teach the Wong Shun Leung Ving Tsun method.
Q: What is the Wong Shun Leung Ving Tsun method?
A: You may observe the Wong Shun Leung method through his legacy to the Ving Tsun world:
— the Ving Tsun Pugilism — the W.S.L. Method.
Master Wong Shun Leung devoted his life to Ving Tsun research and development for over forty years. By his studying, teaching and combat experiences, he sought to find the truth in combat through Ving Tsun.
A lot of people know that Wong Shun Leung's Ving Tsun is a very direct and scientific fighting technique but that is not all. According to Master Wong Shun Leung saying,"Ving Tsun is not only a kind of fighting technique, but a way of life". Before master Wong Shun Leung passed away, he named his Ving Tsun idea to "Ving Tsun Pulgilism" — the W.S.L. method.

Ving Tsun Philosophy
If you cannot create a win-win situation then there are only two situations left to you :
win or lose, advantage or disadvantage.
Ving Tsun always provides you a positive way to handle these conditions.
|
| Conditions |
If you stand in a fair condition or sure win condition to fight, you should know how to get the hightest advantage.
If you stand in an unfair condition or sure lost condition to fight, you should know how to cut loss or survive.
|
| Ving Tsun Principle |
There are three major Ving Tsun Principles. They interact as a triangular relationship.
Simplicity — It concerns to the movements how to be acted in simple way instead of complicated.
Directness — It concerns to the path of target how to be run straight instead of indirectly.
Efficiency — It concerns to power control, power creation and power application.
|
| Ving Tsun Theory |
According to the the three principles,
there are numbers of theories established from the numerous empirical practices.
Such as:
- "A punch / an arm comes straight to you, a counterattack should strike back on the punch /
an arm to your enermy."
- "A punch / an arm comes straight to you, interupt it and keep on guard, then a counterattack should be employed on the same track of the punch / an arm, while it is retreating, to your enemy ".
- "Always keep one guarding hand on your centre, no matter what the other hand stays on centre, above the centre or below the centre.

We hope what we said is sufficient and appropriate for the introduction to the Ving Tsun Pugilism — The W.S.L. method. Based on the Ving Tsun Principles, we try to avoid making the introduction be complicated and confusing.
On the contrary, you can easily recognize the contruction of the idea and the deliberately logical mind of Master Wong Shun Leung.
