Wing Chun a result-oriented martial art known for efficiency and economy of movement. It consists of short, direct movements designed to eliminate any wasted energy and to generate speed in the counter attack. Wing Chun’s appeal is due both to its simplicity and its depth. Chess, music, and math enthusiast are aware of how a few well-chosen concepts can produce a wealth of expression which can take a lifetime to explore.  Such is the case with Wing Chun.

Over the years since its initial development, Wing Chun has remained true to its self-defense principles. One of it's driving principles (train as you fight) is to not practice things that just don't work or help your progression. Consequently, the system does not contain any flowery or showy  kick or hand techniques that other styles use to entice potential martial artist. However, in addition to its effectiveness, the one-inch punch, blindfolded sticky hands, and the wooden dummy techniques are impressive enough to influence many to study Wing Chun.
