Wing Chun – Martial Arts Introduction

Posted on May 2, 2012 by chanc

Due to world wide success of the Ip Man (2008) Movie, Wing Chun became even more popular since the days of Bruce Lee back in the 60′s. For those who may be asking why ….”why Wing Chun Bear? why not Karate Bear or Taichi Bear or Aikido Bear?”

Well as for the new visitors who doesn’t know me well enough, it’s due because I went on a trip to Yokohama Japan and I took a photo of the bear below, and the name just became an alias.

And for those who haven’t seen the movie Ip Man – I highly recommended

Aikido - History & Purpose

I've always been fascinated by Aikido, the concept of non-punching & kicking to topple down an a larger opponent using their energy against them is very elegant similar to Taichi. Although not flashy it have a similar sense of grace behind each techniques and almost seemed invisible to untrained eyes.

The Video above summarized it all. I was exposed of Aikido training through a seminar and the training is just as different than conventional, punching & kicking. The seminar thought me the grace & effectiveness behind the techniques and how it requires very little physical strain for smaller/weaker people.

Since it's a non-aggresive Martial Arts, makes Aikido a purely self defense art. Everyone can be trained to be more mentally self aware and be mindful of their surroundings, and to avoid possible dangers. Should a confrontation is unavoidable trainees have the abilities to protect themselves by diffusing the aggressor.

A self protection martial arts seemed perfect for young children & women to start for its non-aggresive nature. However Aikido is no pushover for it can still be applied for aggressive application. Below is a rare video seen Aikido being applied in an aggressive manner.

Whether aggressive or passive martial art, it is undoubtedly one of the fast growing Martial Arts. Notable celebrity practitioners are Steven Seagal.

Wing Chung Dummy Bear Found! (Somewhere in Amsterdam Tourist Centre)

Hi all, its been sometime since i last blogged simply because i was away overseas for some form of Martial Meditation, (holiday abroad round UK & Europe). During my quest for enlightenment I happen to see tons of posters and adds for the new Sherlock Holmes movie. Which also caught my eyes on a modern day rendition of the BBC Sherlock TV Series. It looked great but i wonder if this new Holmes knows Baritsu? or maybe Aikido? or maybe even modern day rendition of Baritsu...MMA??

Season 1 apparently recently ended so hopefully we can catch a glimpse of Holmes abs in the 2nd Season...am i right lady warriors? ^_*

On the contrary Watson, i tend to notice there are tons of Sherlock Holmes related TV shows & Video Games as of late...

But that was not the point, i strayed off to unrelated realm a moment there.
I belief there is a saying somewhere along these lines..."You do martial arts, martial arts will always be around you" or somewhere along those line. On my trip around Amsterdam I happen to come across Wing Chung Dummy Bear in one of the tourist information Centre.

Look at the size of that in comparison to my size!

Those who are new and doesn't know what is a Wing Chun Bear should look at my previous blogs, it has all the necessary information and pictures needed to understand what is a Wing Chun Bear

Aikido Master - Little girl

It appears baby Bruce Lee have a new rival to contend with. Introducing Cute little Aikido Master!

From my understanding in Aikido, those who wears the Hakama (the long skirt looking uniform) is actually at a pretty high level, probably the equivalent of a blackbelt in karate.

Aikido practitioners should be able to verify to see if the adult isn't just allowing her to throw him around. Look closely you can see her footing and energy actually drives the adult to the floor. (non-believers gonna hate)

But it doesn't really matter because at the end of it she look so adorably cute when she was being fling around by the adult at the second half of the video.

*warning*
'not recommended for untrained people to throw their siblings/daughters around without the propertraining'
