Classes & Training

Modern methods, traditional values. Developing concrete skills for the concrete jungle in a hands on, interactive environment focused on developing the individual’s best qualities as the WSLVT system works for them.

What is the focus of our training?  Function, NOT Fashion.  We train to make our skills to be Simple, Direct, and Efficient.  Belts, sashes, and uniforms do not win the fight.  A solid practice of the System, Science, and Skills give you the individual what you need to work best for you putting the power in your hands.

Ving Tsun training

SIU NIM TAU

VING TSUN'S BASIC SYSTEM CONCEPTS

The “Young Idea Form” is the blueprint and most important form of the system containing its fundamental Concepts, Structures, and Actions. Developing essential elements such as the Yee Ji Kim Yeung Ma (Stance), Centreline Theory, Chiu Ying (Facing), and Lat Sau Jik Chung (Springy Forward Elbow Intention) which is a behavioural concept action unique to WSLVT. It is the roots from which the practitioner’s understanding, practice, and skills will grow from.

CHUM KIU

BRIDGING YOUR PATH

This Second “Bridge Seeking” Form gives the structures and actions of the first form life. It is an introduction to essential Footwork such as Juen Ma (Shifting) and Seung Ma (Forward Moving Stance) as well as the concept of Djoi Ying (Chasing Centre). Combat is alive and dynamic. Your opponent will not be a complient drill partner who will execute predictable robotic attacks. Chum Kiu provides the tools and concepts to be diverse, in adverse situations, with Control and Balance. The form also provides the resources to building a key training method in Ving Tsun, Chi Sau.

BIU JEE

POINTING FINGERS

In combat, mistakes will be made and situations will arise that will compromise your ability to apply yourself dynamically. That’s the reality of fighting and combat. There are no rules in the concrete ring and the system’s Third Form breaks some of the fundamental rules of the system to help us recover from extreme situations.

MOOK YAN JONG

WOODEN DUMMY TRAINING

Containing structures, actions, and concepts from all three open-hand forms, it is an essential tool for honing those structures, angles, distance, timing, energy, and overall coordination.  The wooden dummy gives you  the ability to train Ving Tsun actions with a training partner that doesn’t mind the physical contact and will give you the feedback information to take your skills to a higher level of application. 

LOK DIM BOON GWUN

SIX AND A HALF POINT POLE

The empty hand forms and wooden dummy training are taken to the next level of Control, Balance, and Coordination through the practice of the Ving Tsun Gwun (Pole).  It develops an incredible connection and cultivation of ‘Ground Power’ through a solid stance base practiced through the Che Gwun Kuen exercise.  The Pole Form and its drills develop the unified application of the legs, body, and arms as ONE explosive and powerful action.  

BAAT JAAM DO

VING TSUN KNIVES TRAINING

The second of the two Ving Tsun weapons and traditionally the last element of training introduced to the practitioner.  A high skill level of understanding, application, and control of the open hand forms, chi sau, wooden dummy, and boxing applications are needed to reach this level.  The concepts and angles of the Ving Tsun Do are unique to themselves and in some ways conflict with the fundamental concepts of the system.  An exciting reward to an exciting journey of training.

Boxing & Sparring

Focus Pads Training

As part of S3VT’s training we reinforce the system’s qualities with a dynamic training regimen which includes Focus Pads, VT Boxing, and Sparring to develop the skills necessary for the results necessary.  The ability to execute punches of quality, not quantity.  To be able to hit your target with control and force.  To finish the your opponent decisively and efficiently.  At the end of the day, it all comes down to having quality strikes.  The forms, drills, dummy, and weapons are all tools to developing efficient attributes that get the job done.

CHI SAU

Training

Chi Sau is unique to Ving Tsun that trains and develops natural reflex responses for when engaging in close range combat ranges.  It is NOT fighting but a means of developing attributes that compliment fighting skills.  It teaches us to practice the concept of “Djoi Ying, Mok Djoi Sau” (Always Chasing Centre, Never Chasing Hands) as well as the unconscious awareness to create and respond to angles and lines of force that allow you to counter attack your opponent without challenging their lines of force and attack.

Honoured to have inherited this 40+ year old teak HK Mook Yan Jong with one piece guava leg.

Wasn't properly maintained and needs a lot of work to remove the shellac, sealant, and other chemical layers on it that have yellowed and affected the wood drying out the surface layer causing some fraying in parts of the trunk and the tracks.
As well as filling and treating some of the small fissures in the trunk.

Will be restoring it to breathe new life into its new home becoming a beautiful piece once again.
Hope to make its original owner of those many decades proud as he looks down from above.

Step by step photos of the restoration work will be posted.

Spending the spring, summer, and fall working the Ving Tsun Gwun and making sure the group is proficient in the Lok Dim Boon Gwun form, concepts, mechanics, drills, and applications. 

We spent a good portion of last night exploring how the pole translates to strength and conditioning, and unified coordination that applies to empty hand applications.

Will share some vids and pics from our next sessions.

Real To Reel // Laap Sau Practical Application 

From the WSLVT Chi Sau Workshop this week as part of our Weekly GTA Wing Chun Meetup on Tuesday, June 18th 2024.

Throughout this evening we worked fundamental Lin Siu Dai Da actions through Chi Sau and then their practical applications.
Here we work Laap Sau to ward off and spread away the interfering action as well as employing Je Lik (borrowing force) to exploit aggression and momentum.
