THE PHILOSOPHICAL PILLARS OF THE WING CHUN SYSTEM
As the saying goes: "Wing Chun is well suited to PUT another person IN THE FACE ."
Sure, that's right - but the statement is a bit simple or let's just say: stupid!
Wing Chun is more than "knocking" and is based on three philosophical pillars: Daoism, Confucianism and Buddhism. Read more about it here.
11
DAOISM (TAOISM) IN WING CHUN
Daoism is both religion and philosophy. Yin and Yang, I Ching, the doctrine of Chi (Qi, Ki) but also the tradition of body and mind cultivation, breath control, Qigong, etc. are some of the diverse themes that are addressed here. Read here about one of the three pillars of Wing Chun and the immense relevance of Daoism to this magnificent martial art.
12
CONFUCIANISM IN WING CHUN
Confucianism is a term for philosophy and political ideas that follow the tradition of Confucius and his disciples. Confucianism has shaped Chinese culture and society for many centuries and plays a role in the hierarchy (keyword: Sifu) in Wing Chun. Read here about one of the three great teachings of China or Asia.
13
BUDDHISM IN WING CHUN
Buddhism is the third of China's "three great teachings" alongside Daoism and Confucianism. Anyone who deals with Shaoling Kung Fu, the Shaolin Monastery and the further development of Wing Chun should deal with Buddhism and its relevance for Wing Chun. Read on to get another piece of the puzzle of a holistic approach.
14
HIERARCHY IN WING CHUN
The concept of hierarchy in Wing Chun is based on basic Confucian considerations. Designations such as Sifu (the father's teacher), Sihing, Sigung, Todai, etc. are family designations that result in hierarchical relationships analogous to a family structure. Read about the background here for a deeper understanding.
15
THE WING CHUN FAMILY TREE
Who is your teacher? Where did you train? Which line are you following? All questions that revolve around the family tree, which traditionally plays a major role in Wing Chun. Everyone wants to be as close to Yip Man | To have been in Ip Man's turn or to have been a student of an important teacher. Read here about the role of pedigree in Wing Chun and the value of such considerations.

CHILD TRAINING - WHEN SHOULD CHILDREN TRAIN WING CHUN?
Does WING CHUN actually make sense for children or which aspects of martial arts or martial arts training help children in their development and what aspects of martial arts are actually not beneficial for children but rather counterproductive? I'm a father myself and absolutely enthusiastic about martial arts. But would I then let my children train WING CHUN or rather something else? You can find out more here.

THE THREE LEVELS IN WING CHUN
WING CHUN Kung Fu as well as many of the Asian martial arts and martial arts such as judo, karate, etc. teach the practitioner to defend themselves and thus become capable of self-defense. This is associated with both physical and mental development and maturation. When practiced correctly, WING CHUN teaches a lot more. This is reflected in the three levels of the WING CHUN system.
19
IS THERE AN AGE LIMIT IN WING CHUN?
I am 100 years old. Am I too old for WING CHUN now? Interesting question. Many people want to practice martial arts / martial arts but worry that there is an age limit here. Well - age is a number, right? You set the limit yourself. Through inner attitude, will, physical strength and of course physical condition. Musculature can be strengthened and still considerable things can be developed or regained. Read more here.

SCHOOLS LIKE A CHAIN - WHICH ONE IS THE RIGHT ONE?
There are now schools for Wing Tsun, Wing Tzun, Ving Chun, Wing Tshung, Wing Tsung on every corner. But what do you have to pay attention to when you train there? Are there any pitfalls? What about membership fees? What about the trainer? Here I explain what you should pay attention to.
22
SPELLINGS IN WING CHUN
Wing Chun, Wing Tsun, Ving Tsun, Wing Chun, Wing Tsung, Wing Tzung, Wing Tshun .... the martial art is offered in an abnormal number of spellings. Where does this naming chaos actually come from and what are the effects? Of course, that has a lot to do with money, ego and differentiation between coaches. Here I explain the background.
