Wing Chun is generally a close range combat system designed to develop sensitivity and leverage. The art was developed for self-defense and unlike more sport-based arts, Wing Chun techniques assume that your opponent is already fairly close to you. Operating in this close range allows the practitioner to use more destructive weapons (knees, elbows, finger thrust, head buts).

The study of Kung-fu will greatly improve your knowledge of the body, improve balance and overall strength and fitness of the practitioner. AMAC’s Chief Instructor, Alan Baker, is a certified instructor under Sigung Francis Fong, who is considered, by many, to be one of the best Wing Chun instructors in the art today.

Methods of training;

Forms - The solo repetitive practice and performance of preset fixed sequence of movements that teach and refine specific concepts, principles and techniques. There are no direct applications of the movements of the forms but they do allow the practitioner to work on positioning.

Application Drills - The constant repetition of individual techniques with a training partner will build up confidence and understanding of the position, teach structure and energy usage of each technique, use trapping sets, two person flow drills, and focus mitt training.

Chi Sao - Wing Chun's Chi Sao (sticking hands) is a unique interactive training method that develops structural awareness, correct energy utilization, distance judgment and sensitivity so that you can learn to feel what is happening, assess the situation and react accordingly. It develops close range distance coordination, mobility, balance, timing, accuracy and the correct use of energy.

Fighting Application - Fighting application teaches you to apply the techniques you have positionally refined in the forms and structurally developed through drilling.
