Academy of Weng Chun Kung Fu

Hundreds of years ago in the Southern Shaolin Temple in China, the monks developed a unique system more efficient than any other and build it on principles like a weak person should be able to defeat a stronger opponent, using the body's full potential while not getting wounded. The result was Weng Chun. A koncept which gives a natural response to any given situation and has been battleproven over and over through the ages.

Weng Chun is not only techniques but also a set of principles and concepts for figthing and is just as real as the time from which it was developed. When you find yourself in a situation, where you need to defend yourself it is too late to think about what to do. Everything goes very fast, the body reacts by sending danger signals, that may confuse or freeze you up. In Weng Chun we work special techniques like 'sticky hands' and partner drills that enables the practitioner to build new ways for the body to automatically and instinctively to react to grabbling, pushing, fistfighting, kicking, throws and much more.

Mostly an attacker will be bigger or stronger than you as they tend to find weaker opponents. Weng Chun does not build on brute raw force or hard blocking, but on interception and acknowledgement of the attack and on directing the attackers force away while attacking where he is weakest.
