We would like to meet Kung-Fu practitioners from around the globe.
Our doors are always open.
"The goal of a serious kung-fu student is to fully develop their potential, and through systematic and unrelenting commitment they should become one with their style. Each and every movement and gesture should carry a characteristic flavor and personality. Pursuing different styles will impede one's ability to thoroughly internalize and purify the techniques of a chosen style... As kung-fu means time and skill, it is essential that we use what time we do have intelligently to practice seriously, honestly, and in depth, rather than collecting forms and never progressing beyond a superficial level."
~ Adam Hsu
SIL NIM TAO
~THE FIRST LITTLE IDEA
Siu Lim Tao translates literally into Siu (small), Nim (idea/thought), Tao (head/first). This form translated as "First Small/little Idea in the head. The name of this 1st Wing Chun form indicates that all the details and/or particulars should be focused on and maintained. This form is practiced in a Yee-Chi-Kim-Yeung-Ma stance or (Dok-Lap-Ma stance for advance students) using only arm movements. Proper practice of Siu Lim Tao enables the student to develop proper abdominal breathing, independent arm movement, focus, stance/stability, and proper energy will eventually lead to Chi Kung exercise from this form. Siu Nim Tao also trains the student to generate forces from the center line (Chung Sien).All the basic hand movements used in Wing Chun are contained in Siu Nim Tao, although the leg movements are reduced to their most elementary components during the opening of the stance at the beginning of the form. When practicing Siu Lim Tao, one should remain relaxed; the eyes should follow each movement of the hand.
BRNo flowery movements. No brute force,. The simplicity of techniques based on the philosophy of physics and the science of a human bodys motion. These factors underlie the training at the Combat Wing Chun Academy: to arm the Wing Chun fighter with lighting quick reactions and deadly counterattacks, dealing with modern day danger in an extremely close quarter combat situation.
