Wing Chun Academy

Wing Chun Academy is just awesome! I always wanted to practice Kong Fu but never got to it. At the age of 31 I decided to finally go for it. Obviously I was nervous as I had no prior experience. I was invited to participate in a free class — and ever since I’m hooked.
I try to practice at least 5 hours a week — and the results are amazing. I could barely touch my toes when I started, and now I can do almost a full split! Bare in mind that don’t have an 8 year old flexibility.
The team is really friendly and informal. Instructors are very skillful, knowledgeable and patient. Operating hours are really good (morning, lunch, afternoon and evenings) so you can always find the best time to practice.
All levels work together so you always practice with someone that is more experience then you — but you work only on your skill level.
If you are looking to get into shape, learn self-​defense, and get a huge boost in confidence you should try Wing Chun Academy. There’s lots of parents that bring their kids with them and there’s kids classes as well (ages 4 – 5).
One more important thing, in Wing Chun Academy you practice in a non-​full-​contact method. What it means is that you are not getting punched or kicked for real.
First thing you learn is how to stop your punch or kick an inch from your opponent face or body.
The idea is to use your opponent force against them (and stay safe during practice). There are punching begs and other methods to simulate full contact. I think that this method is more advantageous as it teaches you to control your strength, speed and accuracy. And a real combat situation, all you need to do is take an extra inch forward to get your opponent.
To conclude, I’ve been practicing Wing Chun for about 8 months now and I love it. I feel stronger, faster and in control, and I am much more flexible. I also feel very confidant and IF I will even be in trouble I could protect myself bare hands.
Last word, how cool it is to practice Bruce Lee’s martial art???
