Started learning Wing chun and Dim Mak today. A guy down my road who i’ve known since i was about 8 is a grand master in them and is giving me cheep private lessons with just me him and my mate.
Wing Chun Kung Fu was developed in southern China over 300 years ago. Wing Chun initially was a guarded secret and only a select few were lucky enough to become students but now mainly through the legacy of Yip Man , who famously taught Bruce Lee, it is practiced throughout the world.
Wing Chun is a Southern Chinese style meaning, literally, ‘beautiful springtime’. Wing Chun specializes in close range combat and emphasizes the use of the arms to trap and control the opponent.
Dim Mak is a secret body of knowledge with techniques that attack pressure points and meridians, said to incapacitate or sometimes cause immediate or even delayed death to an opponent.
Wing Chun to open up the openent so you can strike with Dim Mak – Leathal combination.
My arm is killing me .. allmost had my hand twisted off haha (it just aches as the demonstrations wern’t done with force .. but tbh with Wing Chun + Dim Mak you don’t nead much force to achive a fuck load of pain)

It’s not karate .. that’s what the chinese taught kids and foreners (i’m very lucky to be able to learn this from some one of my nabours lvl as upuntil about 30-50 years ago no one but the chniese knew it – the showlin monks still don’t normaly teach anyone else (and they are the best at it).. just a few people have learnt it and brought it over) raaa

April 23, 2010 at 4:59 am #1225148I tried doing Wing Chun last year but found it a bit too complicated for what I wanted.
Much prefer Krav Maga, only done a couple lessons of it tbf but I’m liking what I see.
April 23, 2010 at 6:54 am #1225145I would like to get to do Wing Chun – have done Tai chi and its good stuff – hoping to find a teacher soon
April 23, 2010 at 11:16 am #1225159I did Wing Chun for a bit, very good for self defence etc Nice and logical too no flamboyant show off moves, no blocking except with attacking moves. get in.

It’s alot diferant from Tai chi – Hurts to learn and is designed to hurt others (If need be) Where as Tai chi is made to make you look silly in parks :laugh_at:
seriously tho .. you’ll find Dim mak covers all the nrg side of it where as wing chun is more deflecting hits and using techniques that require the least effort to manipulate the opponent into vunerable possitions generaly twisting things and poking pressure points with knuckles and the bony bits of your body (It’s hard to tell where each one finishes and the other starts tho as i’m being taught both at the same time).
Like Thi chi i’m learning (or will be) how to draw nrg from diferant things ie. Earth, Wood, Fire, metal, and water. and channle it through my body but to my punches/kicks and what ever other part of my body I will be striking with and into the opponet rather that just hitting them and bruising the outside like other techniques in marshal arts.
Strikes in Dim mak penertrait deep into the body and can travel down maridian lines causing internal damage (if done with malice) in a totaly diferant place to where you hit. Like in achipuncture you might get a pin in your chest if you have a pain in your leg as the maridian line or correct pressure point to effect your leg will be there (that’s just an example i’m not sure if it’s actualy in your chest). So you could get a tap to the back of the head and feel a punch to the ribs providing the correct maridian lines are activated, useualy done with a light tap to some where else on the body and you strike after in the correct spot.

Yeah I started leaning it when i was alot younger with him and enjoyed it.. but didn’t do it for very long. Wish i had carried on as he was teaching me for free back then! Noramly people of his level (Grand Masters) charge about £60 an hour. :hopeless:

yes it is lethal if used properly there for making it illigal to use propery (for obvious reasons).. nothing stoping you learning the techniques tho afaik.
