Seminar / class May 4, 2019

Hello everyone, starting on August 27, 2018, Jaf Wing Chun Martial Art School, will have the pleasure to be 4,300 square foot school with air conditioning. 😱😜👍👍👍.

In the Chinese martial arts society, the title or ranking system follows the traditional family system. Classification of a student's level is not based on his/her skill or actual age. It is decided by who joins the school first. In other words, when you are born into the family. For example, your teacher (male or female) is your father within the system. You should greet him/her as "Si-Fu" (meaning teaching father) to show respect. Your older brother, regardless of age or skill level, would be addressed as "Si-Hing" to show respect. Just as within your own family, there are those whom we address as Uncle, Grandfather, Mother, Aunt, Brother, etc; you address them by these titles to show your respect for them and to show you recognize your place within the family. You may have more than one Si-Fu if you have learned, or are learning, more than one art. In each family lineage you will have one Si-Fu.

In your own family, your father will remain your father for the rest of your life. Even if you go to live with your grandfather or great grandfather, you wouldn't start calling him father. The same is true in the Chinese martial arts title system. Your Si-Fu is forever your Si-Fu in the same family line. Even if you go to your Si-Gung (teaching grandfather) to learn, you must still address him as Si-Gung to show him respect and to show that you recognize your place within the system. An exception is if your Si-Fu is no longer active in the martial world, has passed away, or has left the family for any reason. Then you may call your Si-Gung as Si-Fu. It is perfectly acceptable to learn from different members of the Gung Fu family system, your Si-Gung or Si-Bak for example. But in order to remain respectful and to retain proper lineage, your original place within the system does not change.

The only exception to this rule would be if your Si-Fu kicks you out of his school, cutting you off from the family and you decide to go to a different martial system or to a different lineage of the same system to learn. In effect being reborn into another family. Then you would have a new Si-Fu. But if you leave your original Si-Fu for whatever reason, and go to another school that is within the same family lineage, you still retain your original place within the family. For example, if your father kicks you out of his house and you go to live with your uncle, you wouldn't start calling your uncle, father.

A student should think of himself as a small branch of a tree. The bigger branch that you're connected to is your Si-Fu. The branch above that is your Si-Gung, and so forth, until you reach the trunk of the tree which represents the founder of the system. If you try to remove your small branch from where it is growing and stick it into the tree in a different place, it will stop growing. But if you leave it where it is, it will grow and flourish, and develop small branches of its own.

¿Qué es Wing Chun?

Wing Chun es Kung Fu, un Arte Marcial chino orientado a la defensa personal con más de 400 años de historia y mundialmente conocido gracias al famoso actor y artista marcial Bruce Lee, discípulo del Gran Maestro Yip Man -considerado el padre del Wing Chun moderno.

Es el arte marcial que convierte el cuerpo en una verdadera arma. Para practicarlo, no se necesita poseer el cuerpo de un fisicoculturista, de un campeón en levantamiento de pesas ni tampoco un don especial. De hecho, la pura fuerza del cuerpo o una apariencia fuerte no siempre es lo más importante en situaciones peligrosas.

Es cierto que la mejor defensa es mantenerse lejos de los problemas, pero no siempre existe la oportunidad de evitar ataques físicos como consecuencia de intentos de asalto, violaciones u otras situaciones. Wing Chun enseña a tener serenidad y ser superior a su oponente en momentos críticos.
Diferencia con otros estilos o deportes

La diferencia entre Wing Chun y la mayoría de otros estilos o deportes, es que no tiene reglas. En una pelea real nadie las vigila , por lo tanto, se necesita un sistema sin reglas! El estudiante de Wing Chun golpea utilizando la fuerza de su oponente convirtiendo el ataque en su mejor defensa, de manera que no necesita ser más fuerte que él. Muchas mujeres conocen la eficiencia de éste sistema y generalmente tienen ventaja sobre los hombres por ser más sensibles y flexibles.

El sistema Wing Chun posee técnicas científicas de lucha. A pesar del hecho de que han sido pasadas a través de los siglos y de generación en generación, las técnicas son constantemente corregidas y mejoradas, lo cual explica por qué se le llama un estilo "científico" y "vivo".

Es conocido como un estilo "suave" pero a la vez altamente agresivo, funciona en las 5 distancias del combate y es altamente eficaz en la corta -la más real de todas las distancias del combate-. Se caracteriza por su simplicidad, la dirección del ataque, la economía de movimientos y una teoría de defensa/ ataque simultánea basada en la línea central y la línea recta. De acuerdo a los principios del wing chun, para poder combatir con éxito también frente a oponentes más fuertes , se debe aprender a absorber las fuerzas que actúan sobre usted manteniendo el equilibrio y sin contraponer sus propias fuerzas ,sino cediendo ante una fuerza superior. Un cuerpo bien equilibrado puede moverse más rápidamente.

El sistema wing chun ofrece al practicante una serie de principios simples los cuales se naturalizan y pueden ser utilizados rápidamente en una situación critica de agresión. Pero esto no se consigue de la noche a la mañana como se dijo en un principio wing chun es kung fu que significa “trabajo duro” lo que significa que para lograr un alto nivel se requiere de arduo entrenamiento y trabajo duro.
