ABOUT WING CHUN: Wing Chun is a Chinese martial arts system developed
around 400 years ago. Developed as a martial art that doesn’t rely on brute
strength to overcome an opponent, Wing Chun uses straight-line attacks,
simultaneous attack and defence, and speed to overwhelm an opponent
(overload their senses). Using a minimal amount of movement (no wasted
motion), Wing Chun is a very efficient self defence.

The Central Coast Wing Chun Academy is a mainland Chinese system of Wing
Chun, has a friendly atmosphere, small classes, and government accredited
instructors that will teach you the self defence and help you improve your
fitness level.
