I.M.O. Wing Chun is not a fighting art, it is a fighting strategy.
Albert Einstein was of the opinion that ‘time is an illusion’.
Without time nothing happens, so nothing moves.
Hence the confusion because his own words ‘nothing happens until something moves’ brings this into doubt.
I.M.O. Wing Chun is not a fighting art, it is a fighting strategy.
Which is why it fails so often when people try to use it as it is taught.
I do not think that this was ever Dr. Leung Jan’s intention.
How we engage with the work mentally is more important than how we engage with it physically.
Mental fluidity is essential for us to reach out and touch the ‘little idea’.
Most of my own training is a hybrid of all the things that have affected my life, Boxing, Judo, numerous diverse sports, cooking and even music, because it is through this eclectic lived experience that I view my Wing Chun.
To be expected, you will see it differently as you have lived differently.
