Wing Chun Katrineholm

Wing Chun is a martial arts system within the kung fu genre, originating from southern China. It was developed by a woman of the same name and is well-known for its close combat techniques. Wing Chun is characterized by short, fast, explosive attacks in the form of various strikes, kicks, and takedowns to control opponents. It is suitable for self-defense and does not require physical strength, as the style assumes one is always weaker than the opponent. Training begins with static exercises focusing on fundamentals and principles, progressing to footwork, partner drills, and sparring to enhance sensitivity and reflexes. Wing Chun has gained recognition in the West through films like 'Ip Man' featuring actor Donnie Yen, who portrays the historical figure known as Bruce Lee's teacher.
