For those interested, I thought a little history of my experience would give context to the rest of my thoughts on Wing Chun and other martial arts.
I currently train Wing Chun with Sifu Leo Lit http://www.litwingchun.com/
Up until 2015 I have had little experience with any form of Martial Art.
I did train with Wutan International in
Bournemouth, UK however it is clear to me now, that I had learned
little. Over the four years I did learn some of the forms of Wing Chun
but they were diluted with other styles. This meant that the true heart of
Wing Chun never got through to me
7 years on in 2009, I decided to give it another go. Wing Chun was what I had done most of before so I continued with that.
I ended up spending a couple of months in a class that was from the Augustine Fong lineage of Wing Chun, not that I knew that at the time!
After a few months my final year of university got the better of me and I chose to use my free time rock climbing instead.
Over these past years I feel I have gained a lot mentally and without question physically from rock climbing. I have no doubt that I will continue rock climbing well into my senior years. Though recently I have felt an imbalance that I have wanted to address and I felt that Wing Chun would help.
So now for an adventure of self discovery!
