Fast forward to 2013 and we find Sifu Riaz Hossenbux taking a Disney like vacation in Orlando Florida.  Now it was his turn to contact Sifu Justin Och about visiting Sifu Justin Och school here in Lakeland Florida.  Into the afternoon class Sifu Riaz walks in and bows to the entire school and lineage line which includes a respected picture of Ip Man, Ip Chun, Ip Ching, Simon Lau and Wong Shun Leung.

Sifu Justin Och’s first starts class by sectioning out the students doing forms from Siu Nim Tao, Chum Kiu and Biu Jee then fighting combinations, inside and outside gate combos with partners striking and moving across the floor.  Next scenario training against bear hugs, side headlocks, triangle chokes, wrist grabs and pushes all using Wing Chun Kung Fu to stop, shut down and destroy these dangerous scenarios.  Then focus mitt sparring and wrist on wrist fighting while switching partners and increase the intensity of the follow up fighting and reactionary techniques.

During this time Sifu Riaz Hossenbux walked around, observing the training, talking with the students and offering additional combinations that come from his pure Ip Chun Wing Chun styling.   Sifu Riaz added his personality and flavor into each technique explaining his take on Wing Chun Kung Fu.  A fun and refreshing kinship between schools.

Wing Chun Kung Fu Lakeland FL

Lakeland Kung Fu schools and training camps do not lack for new members as people seek training in the art of Wing Chun, a fighting style that relies heavily on close quarters combat and realistic self-defense techniques. It was originally conceived many centuries ago by a Chinese woman monk who borrowed different moves from martial arts to suit a situation when the opponent is close by and the options are limited. This kind of thinking carries surprisingly well into our modern environment, gaining more followers day after day.An important rule taught by Wing Chun Kung Fu lakeland fl is being in control of what is called the ‘center line’, which is the space between you and your opponent. Learning Wing Chun Kung Fu Lakeland FL can be a valuable asset when faced with the possibility of violence or even day to day tasks. After all, martial arts training is known to reflect positively on one’s willpower, strength and physical prowess.

Application

Wing Chun Kung Fu is taught at Sifu Och’s Wing Chun Kung Fu studio in downtown Lakeland fl and consists primarily of collected, efficient movements that are aimed at devastating self defense and deflection, rather than engaging the opponent with the strength of your body.An important rule taught by Wing Chun Kung Fu lakeland fl is being in control of what is called the ‘center line’, which is the space between you and your opponent. Through careful and safe training at any age you become prepared for encounters where the potential attacker is literally inches away from you, letting reflexes kick in quickly and ensure your safety, so that you can escape a potentially more violent confrontation.

Limitations

There are only four types of kicks that are performed by the majority of practitioners in Wing Chun Kung Fu. Unsurprisingly, they are mostly aimed at knees, groin and shins to lower the opponent’s mobility. It’s what you would want to do when outrunning or out striking our opponents and quickly moving to attack again is more desirable than achieving any sort of victory over them.An important rule taught by Wing Chun Kung Fu lakeland fl is being in control of what is called the ‘center line’, which is the space between you and your opponent.  By creating weakness in a opponents foundation you create weakness in everything they do from that point forward. However, the techniques will still suit you if you are planning on learning full range kicks, joint locks, grappling or ground work.  As Wing Chun Kung Fu is an adaptive self defense system based on quick reaction at any range.

Training

Since Wing Chun focuses on reaction versus hundreds of forms without a partner a practitioner learns quicker than in most systems.  Wing Chun Kung Fu also takes a considerably shorter time to learn and master when compared to other Chinese fighting styles and Gung Fu systems.  The techniques trained at Sifu Och’s Lakeland Kung Fu training camps and school in downtown lakeland fl will take anyone of any background to new levels.  This will prove to be ideal for anyone who simply wishes to learn the best techniques for self-defense or engage in healthy physical activities without the need to devote the next 20 years before mastering their skills and achieving something great.

Control

An important rule taught by Wing Chun Kung Fu lakeland fl is being in control of what is called the ‘center line’, which is the space between you and your opponent. When all of your movements are focused on maintaining that control, you are less likely to be blind sided or surprised by your opponents, as their actions are also limited in that position.

Deflections

Instead of blocking the opponent’s attacks, Wing Chun Kung Fu lakeland fl focuses on deflecting them with simple, controlled movements. That way, they are redirected away from your body. You also avoid full contact with your hands, arms or legs, attempting to make a slapping or rolling movement that deflects the punch or kick at an angle.An important rule taught by Wing Chun Kung Fu lakeland fl is being in control of what is called the ‘center line’, which is the space between you and your opponent.

Energy

One of the things you will learn about Wing Chun Kung Fu Lakeland fl are ‘sticky hands’. That’s when you use your attackers’ energy against them through the movements of your hands or wrists.An important rule taught by Wing Chun Kung Fu lakeland fl is being in control of what is called the ‘center line’, which is the space between you and your opponent.

Traps

Traps are some of the most interesting concepts of Wing Chun taught at Lakeland fl Kung Fu schools and training camps.

Struggling and Wing Chun Gung Fu Power

Struggling Wing Chun Gung Fu Power

One of the very first things that is taught within the system of Wing Chun Gung Fu is to use all of the bodies weapons for both offense and defense.  Blocking and attacking simultaneously while shifting and moving to get out of the way of incoming attacks.  Instead of using force against force Wing Chun Gung Fu has proven counter strategies that take power from the assailant and truly use it against them.  Instead of using force versus force where a smaller practitioner of Wing Chun Gung Fu might fall victim Wing Chun uses dynamic footwork and redirective combinations that take the assailants line of power out of the equation.Wing Chun Gung Fu power is one of the most exceptional martial art systems out there.

For every line of power there are four lines of weakness this means that a smaller and weaker fighter can quickly stop and drop a larger and stronger assailant.Wing Chun Gung Fu power is one of the most exceptional martial art systems out there.  A Wing Chun stylist uses their heads to avoid direct confrontation and uses the assailants strength, force and power against them.

“a struggle of power can only happen between two individuals both willing to struggle – Sifu Justin Och”

If one individual decides to strike instead of struggle the battle of strength against strength is turned.Wing Chun Gung Fu power is one of the most exceptional martial art systems out there.  Fight smarter not harder my Master use to say.  Within Wing Chun there are a lot of concepts and many concetrate on the concepts of Wing Chun versus the ability to use Wing Chun Gung Fu in a dangerous, stress induced, pressured situation.  What many may not realize is that it only takes a small amount of strength to redirect a line of power, though this is not to say that Wing Chun Gung Fu does not use strength or power.  In fact a practitioner of Wing Chun Gung Fu, if properly taught is told to focus on knockout power with speed but never speed over knockout power.   This takes a practitioners mindset away from just fast and fancy movements and pulls them into the reality of combat, knocking or incapacitating their assailant.

Because speed comes so fast to a Wing Chun Gung Fu practitioner many forget to train in its follow through power.  This makes it so that even a weak Wing Chun practitioner can stop, move and break the timing and body down of a much larger assailant if the weaker Wing Chun Gung Fu practitioner is taught to follow through.Wing Chun Gung Fu power is one of the most exceptional martial art systems out there.  Each strike is an opportunity to stop the fight as a practitioner does not want a long drawn out battle.

“Longer fights have to many factors involved from weapons being drawn, accomplices joining, to draining endurance and stamina.  Ending a fight quickly also minimizes damage to all parties involved. – Sifu Justin Och”

Training and pushing yourself to fight five rounds for five minutes is a great goal, but then using all that stamina to end the fight quickly without burning yourself out but rather staying calm in the moment is key.

Wing Chun Gung Fu power is one of the most exceptional martial art systems out there.  The ability to quickly counter, move, attack, redirect, and defend against so many other techniques and systems of combat.  Wing Chun Gung Fu is a proven tried and true system of realistic self defense.  If you want the power, the strength and ability Wing Chun gung fu power provides you have to train like an a animal.  You have to train hard, push hard, under pressure and resistance.  In order to gain realistic self defense you have to train it just like any other athlete, just thinking about it or doing it passively will gain you a passive response when under attack.

The Difference Karate and Kung Fu

The difference Karate and Kung Fu

History tells us that even in the very beginning medieval Chinese peasants were made to duel each other to the death using swords and other rudimentary objects, much like the peasants of Japan that used farm tools to fight and even ward off bandits.Though there are some similarities difference Karate and Kung Fu.

Many people ask what are the fundamental differences between karate and kung fu are? One of the best ways of answering this query is by first taking them through the history involved in making what we now know as Kung Fu, Karate and all other forms of fighting within China and Japan.Though there are some similarities difference Karate and Kung Fu. First, even though the martial art-forms of Kung Fu and Karate have some huge differences in history, technique and combat application.

Though there are some similarities difference Karate and Kung Fu. Some systems of Kung Fu have been used for flashy movements, acrobatics and fancy motions, just like many commercialized systems of Karate today that teach the throwing or flipping of weapons, kicks and body movements used for show but spoken with the possibility of self defense.  Though fancy movements are impractical for realistic protection in a assault many people pick these types of schools due to their elegant look and “fun” looking appeal.

Though rare, both have instructors that focus on the original combative applications and as you are about to find out, may be more closely related than might at first appear.Though there are some similarities difference Karate and Kung Fu. The Chinese peasants we had mentioned, begun to master the fighting techniques by training in monasteries and with time they passed on to their skills to the other peasant folk in other provinces all over China. Through the silk road and exchange Kung Fu knowledge traded hands with the Japanese.  As it traversed the mighty sub-continent it was modified and changed and this is where derivatives of kung fu which is the original fighting form that has given birth to all the other martial art forms from the Eastern world that we know of.

The list is long but a few are Karate, Wing Chun Kung Fu or Ving Tsun, Hung Gar, Tai Chi and Northern Long Fist and Choy Lee Fut are some of the forms or styles just to name a few.Though there are some similarities difference Karate and Kung Fu. It is also worth mentioning that it is during this time that other styles that were associated with specific animals were also introduced. For instance, some peasant monks were adept in tiger claw kung fu, monkey kung fu style, mantis kung fu, dog fist, white crane, snake or some other art-form inspired by animals or by nature.

beneficial difference between karate and kung fu

If there is something that we are sure that our readers have discovered by now it is that with the passage of time the crude techniques used during the duel-to-the-death fights of those peasant, repressed fighters in ancient China become progressively refined and polished. Karate kept with hard blocks, hard stances whereas a powerful system of defense.Though there are some similarities difference Karate and Kung Fu.  Kung Fu kept the hard body power, the powerful strikes, strong stances but became more fluid, more relaxed, it allowed the Kung Fu practitioner to redirect incoming attacks and use the full body.  The hard snapping whip like power of Kung Fu redirecting palms and flowing whole body motions has refined and become an extremely powerful system of combat.

It reached a time that the art form and it’s offspring were now smooth, using minimal effort.  Kung deployed with the right intelligence and training transformed into a powerful force worth reckoning with. It is our conviction that all die-hard Karate enthusiasts and Taekwondo enthusiasts will at one time or another seek out and find the difference in Karate and Kung fu.  Our conviction is that anyone who see’s the power and ability within Kung Fu combatives will want to learn it and master it for their own.Though there are some similarities difference Karate and Kung Fu.    Nowadays, you might come across some who prefer to do it the hard way, practice on their own, push and see if they can figure it out.  Going back to the past and practicing old-school hard styled Kung Fu can be beneficial. Hard training without Masterful and intelligent purpose can injure and cause grave damage to a practitioner, especially one not versed under a certified master of the system.

Don’t be misinformed, the difference between karate and kung fu

Don’t be misinformed those who want to reinvent their youthful exuberance will pay a dear price.  The real cost of their indiscretions, however, is that they end up getting a negative experience, poor knowledge, possibly hurt and the claim that they know the difference between kung fu and karate.

It would have been much better had they got properly trained with experts to guide them, train and educate them.  When it comes to the best choice of a martial art skill, technique, combative, form and the reasons why.Though there are some similarities difference Karate and Kung Fu. Our readers should also realize that Kung Fu has steadily evolved and many other systems have attempted to take and incorporate what they could in the hopes of making a system of their own.  It is now easier for us to learn it but harder for us to find a Master with the heart and dedication to reveal its techniques and proper training.  Hard Karate styles for instance, shotokan and kyokunshinkai can be learned, Wing Chun Kung Fu and Ju-jitsu can be found by the person willing to search.

The thing is with martial arts you really never know what lies in your fate and destiny. One moment you might be a middle-aged man or woman and the next you have transformed into an old man involved with Combative Wing Chun, Tiger Claw, Karate or Tai Chi. In a nutshell, as we age our bodies and our minds go through sets of changes and we are only able to subject ourselves to certain limits with our martial arts.Though there are some similarities difference Karate and Kung Fu. As we age we do not have the flexibility we once had, we cannot kick high, jump and twirl, we need a system of self defense that will last the ages.  Fortunately for us, Kung Fu and many of its non-fancy derivatives have evolved to make it such that no matter our age Kung Fu was tailor-made for us.

Throughout training, a lot of emphasis is put into that very concept. Students will learn all about force and strength, and how they can properly counter it. What many don’t realize, is the fact that countering force requires very little strength from the stylist. Even the weakest Wing Chun stylist is taught to take down an opponent 3 – 4 times his size if he uses the proper technique and his opponents force against him.

Wing Chun Lakeland Kung Fu
sifu och wing chun lakeland florida kung fu

Wing Chun Lakeland Kung Fu teaches other techniques as well, such as punching, kicking, and quick grappling holds, chokes and breaks.  Wing Chun Lakeland Kung Fu trains stylists in quick reactions, quick strikes and fast applications minimizing strength against strength. Wing Chun Kung Fu doesn’t teach intense grappling as it can cause joint injuries.  Wing Chun Kung Fu techniques do not use force against force through throwing but instead use mobile and dynamic striking. The strikes that are taught with this martial art are very fast, and aimed at vital areas on the body of the opponent.

A majority of the most vital areas on the human body are found along the center line, the very area that Wing Chun Kung Fu teaches stylists to protect as well as attack with their techniques. This line is the most vital in battle, which is why martial artists should always aim their attacks for any area that exists along this line. Most of the vital points found in the center line can be the end of the encounter if the stylist is able to land one powerful blow.  Though Wing Chun Kung Fu trains to strike rapidly with many powerful blows.

As Wing Chun lakeland Kung Fu emphasizes time and time again, the shortest straw between the stylist and the opponent is the center line, which is where a majority of movement takes place. Due to the linear fashion of Wing Chun, students will spend a lot of their training learning how to direct attacks as well as opposing force towards the center line.

Wing Chun Kung Fu is an exceptional martial art, teaching students how to use force against force in any type of encounter. There aren’t that many grappling holds or weapons used with Wing Chun Kung Fu, although the techniques and moves that are taught are tried, proven, and above all very effective for self defense.

Women Self Defense Lakeland

Women Self Defense Lakeland

If you’re a woman, you’re automatically at a higher risk for certain types of crimes—whether carjacking, robbery, domestic violence, rape, and sexual assault—simply because attackers believe the stereotype that women are passive and helpless in the midst of danger. The easiest way for women to prevent themselves from being a victim of these crimes is to avoid being alone or in poorly lit areas at night. However, getting trapped in a violent situation is sometimes inevitable. Therefore, it’s extremely important women of all ages learn how to defend themselves.

Yet sometimes women do not have enough time to reach for their weapon of choice before being attacked, making fighting back the most effective way for women to defend against criminal actions. Nevertheless, fighting back is a valid option for women in violent situations only if they have had extensive training in fighting. Throwing random punches and kicks will not scare away a much stronger criminal. As a result, many women across the nation have enrolled in martial arts classes for self-defense purposes.

However, women self defense lakeland who train in commercialized martial arts aren’t receiving the self-defense training they need as forms like karate and taekwondo utilize flashy, flowery techniques that do not translate well when faced with an unpredictable, dangerous situation. In other words, the advanced high kicks and jumps learned in many forms of martial arts will have little to no effect against a close-quarter assailant—even if you hold a black belt! Yet a practical, reality-based martial arts system does exist: Wing Chun.

Located in downtown Lakeland, Sifu Och Wing Chun studio provides women with the skills they need for effective Women Self Defense Lakeland. Unlike other forms of martial arts, Wing Chun focuses on the economic use of motion. Its goal is to not waste time or movement, to never pull back from an attacker. In other words, it’s both offensive and defensive, using a quick combination of elbows, punches, pushes, chops, blocks, and kicks to take down an opponent of any size. No flips, no flash, just constant, direct action.

While other forms of martial arts were composed by men, Wing Chun was originally conceived by a woman, making the practice adaptable to all ages, genders, and body types. In fact, while training at the Sifu Och Wing Chun studio, you will have the opportunity to train alongside students from all walks of life—from stay at home parents, to doctors, teachers, former military personnel, college students, teenagers, and even experienced martial arts practitioners who have black belts in taekwondo, karate, and jiu-jitsu.

At Sifu Och Wing Chun, the focus is not on who has the highest ranking, but on providing students with a complete system that is based on keeping you and your loved ones safe during unexpected dangerous situations.

“The number one issue is most people are used to being handed a belt just for paying for the class,” said Sifu Justin Och, a member of the Eastern International U.S.A. Black Belt Hall of Fame and owner of Sifu Och Wing Chun. “The belt means nothing without skill and information. My students know they are protected and will use what they are taught here. We don’t hand out belts…The best part of my job is when people come to me after a dangerous situation in their life and were able to shut it down because of their training.”

Make sure you are ready to protect yourself and your family when dangerous situations appear unexpectedly. Enroll today by registering online or calling 863-800-0171.

Gainesville Dojo

Gainesville Dojo

Sifu Justin Och and crew traveled to the Gainesville Dojo on International Wing Chun Day.  A Dojo unlike any other Gainesville Florida Keith Teller, Hanshi Master, owner and operator had a vision and has made that vision a reality.  Keith Teller has created a place where Masters and practitioners can be found from all different systems under one roof.  Train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Choy Li Fut, Kickboxing, Wing Chun, Kung Fu, Kenpo, Taekwondo or Kali you decide who you pay and how often you want to train and in what system you want to Master.  Almost each system within this one gainesville dojo is taught by a seperate Master instructor in their field of martial art self defense.

Many Systems, one location

In my opinion you should always do a trial and check out as many systems and schools as you can before making a final decision on where you want to spend your years of training and dedication. Better to see and know that the school your in is exactly what you want before you join and dedicate a life time of passion. At the Gainesville Dojo you can explore multiple systems under one roof. Though many may find it unbelievable that they wouldn’t mind you trying, training and attempting several classes under several different Masters before dedicating yourself the Gainesville Dojo does exactly that.

Owner Keith Teller, Hanshi is a teacher by day and makes sure that everyone knows that even if you are training with him and feel as though switching to a different system would be better for you, he just wants you training. Since there are so many instructors under one roof you have a large variety of martial arts to pick from. Though my personal belief is that dedicating yourself, your time and effort should be a course not taken lightly.

If you find a system that fits your fighting style and methods stick with it, master it and become exceptional at it. Chasing and training under many systems at the same time can not only confuse you but also hinder your Mastery, reaction and understanding.

The Gainesville Dojo is an assortment of systems and masters but once you find one or two stick with those, gain and train with those instructors and really gain a hold on what they are wanting you to learn and use.

Sifu Justin Och and Master Keith Teller

Sifu Justin Och and Master Keith Teller, Hanshi got acquainted on International Wing Chun Day when Sifu Justin Och visited his large dojo. With a boxing ring, tons of heavy bags, floor mats, separated areas for training a variety of styles and systems of self defense. The Gainesville Dojo has a old school “Rocky” gym feel with a foshan china multi-school mentality.   With the principles of combat and fighting both internal and external are welcomed at the Gainesville Dojo.

Kung Fu Wing Chun and Me

Kung Fu Wing Chun and Me

I come from a very poor upbringing, moving several times a year and attending 2-3 new schools a year.  I was constantly being challenged.  Needless to say I became tougher and harder to beat as I grew.

Kung Fu Wing Chun
NEVER BACK DOWN, NEVER GIVE UP, WING CHUN!!!!

I’ve never backed down and considered myself to be a “force” to be reckoned with.  After joining the marine corps infantry I learned that a lot of people are “tough”.  I also learned that usually, persistence and commitment to the fight will help win most battles.  Regardless of size or stature.

I’ve applied this basic philosophy to everything in my life.  NEVER BACK DOWN, NEVER GIVE UP, ALWAYS PRESS FORWARD!!

Enter, Kung Fu Wing Chun and Sifu Och…  Training regularly in Wing Chun helps put things including work and home responsibilities into perspective.  It does this through humility and directness.  The Wing Chun training doesn’t seem too hard to grasp nor is too intellectual.

Then I watch a series of attacks and think “Ok I got this one, it looks easy”.  But then the hands and mind seemed to have seen two different things.  This keeps me humble, by knowing that this is something I must continue to train in order to improve.  I can no longer rely solely on “Persistence and Commitment to the Fight”.

The directness of attacks has also built up confidence in my fighting ability.  I have always felt confident in an altercation, now, I feel more competent using Wing Chun.

First Year in Wing Chun Kung Fu FL

First Year in Wing Chun Kung Fu FL

My name is Raj Beesabathini. I am really happy and proud to say that I am learning Wing Chun Kung Fu at Sifu Och school in Lakeland, FL. I would like to share my experiences with the school and how wing chun affected my life style.

First Year in Wing Chun Kung Fu FL
My 1st year at Sifu Och Wing Chun Kung Fu, the protection and peace of mind are astounding.

I believe that Leading a successful life means, a perfect balance of personal life, professional life and social life. After getting my masters degree in Computer Science in 2010, my professional life has started here in Lakeland as, Fl as a Software Engineer.   I always wanted to be healthy so I used to hit the gym almost 5 days a week.

But you know what, like all computer geeks, I don’t do much physical work. I stick to the chair and stare at the computer screen the whole day. Even though I hit gym, It only helped me to get physically stronger but not mentally. Wing Chun is such a beautiful art that it calms you down and takes you to a state of peaceful mind and relaxation.

From there you get to practice your breathing patterns in parallel to practicing accumulating all your internal energy at different parts of your body, which turns out into a powerful strikes. This is really awesome. I don’t think of any other martial art or workout program makes us stronger both mentally and physically.

Wing Chun Kung Fu Fl in Self Defence

One more thing is, self protection and taking care of our beloved ones is really important, especially to me. I am not a US citizen.  So I am not allowed to carry firearms.

I used to afraid of going out alone after 8pm. Now I don’t have that problem. Because Wing Chun Kung Fu is my weapon and I carry it all the time with me in my mind. Even if I had gun, it would be highly impossible to carry it all the time with me and when a bad guy gets close enough, at some point, there won’t be enough time to pull that out. In that situation the only life savior I think is your self defence techniques and I can honestly say Wing Chun Kung Fu is the best in that.

Wing-Chun in my Social Life: Coming to my Social Life, when I moved to Lakeland, I didn’t know many people. Everywhere I go, people are so nice but still they are just strangers and I might not meet the same person again. So It was hard for me to find cool dudes. Now In Sifu Och’s Wing Chun Kung Fu class I have around 20 friends whom I meet 4-5 days a week.

This is not just a school for learning self defence techniques but also a good place to develop your social life.   Making new friends and we have potluck parties for every 2 months ( FOOD :D).

(this article can not be copied or used on any other site, permission only to share link) A mind and body filled with purpose… This applies to every aspect of the martial artist.  A mind and body filled with purpose, finds purpose in every aspect of life.  From doing good to others as it calms the mind and spirit, to finding purpose in training specific moves and techniques because it brings about a better understanding, benefit, and uplifting joy.  At Sifu Och’s Wing Chun fl kung fu lakeland our goal is a mind a body filled with purpose, a martial artists life of direction and discipline.

It allows the practitioner to eliminate those movements that claim to have purpose but are superficially grounded.  A trained practitioner in street  realistic combat application can see the openings and weaknesses in new and old world viewed moves and  techniques.  A purpose filled mind looks for what works and eliminates what doesn’t.Masters and Grandmaster’s from all over have influenced my fighting application of Wing Chun Kung Fu, (fl kung fu lakeland).

This is not to say that just because you cannot get a technique down within 5 minutes of practicing it, a practitioner should dismiss it.  Rather a practitioner, even if unable to use the technique once shown can calculate the odds of its success, render viable applications and scenarios where applicable and deduce the viable use of this new information in street survival.Masters and Grandmaster’s from all over have influenced my fighting application of Wing Chun Kung Fu, (fl kung fu lakeland).

Every technique that runs through a Wing Chun practitioner’s arsenal must stick to certain principles to be used as part of their repertoire.  To decipher what works and what doesn’t, when my students come across a martial art practitioner I tell them always to ask themselves the following questions. “Does it throw the opponent off mentally and physically?” “Does it go directly from your closest weapon to their closest vital?” “Can it be applied while minimizing your opponent’s ability to counter?” “Does it take your opponent doing a specific move or can you use it at anytime?” “Is it quick, causing pain, breaks, tears, knockout, or damage immediately?” “Does it make use of the entire body as a simultaneous offensive and defensive weapon?” “Does it require both your hands to accomplish or is one free to attack and the other defend?” “Can it be done universally by any gender, age and weight class without using strength versus strength?” “Does it train reaction, or does it have to be executed with a medium to high level of conscious application?” “Does it take more than  two moves to accomplish your intended goal while causing pain, breaks or tears?”Masters and Grandmaster’s from all over have influenced my fighting application of Wing Chun Kung Fu, (fl kung fu lakeland).

These are a few examples.  But many techniques that do not fall under these principles and are dismissed from the Wing Chun kung fu in lakeland fl mind set and fighting application.   This is not to say that the techniques used by this or any other style are not effective for combat but rather they are not effectively integrated into the Wing Chun fighting mind frame, structure and principles.   A master practitioner of Wing Chun can quickly dismiss or affirm their own reactionary responses by using the rules and principles set forth by Wing Chun kung fu in lakeland fl.Hopefully these articles leave you with questions about my style of Wing Chun fl kung fu lakeland.

These rules and principles don’t make a practitioner dogmatic by following them but rather one that can expand and become more effective.  It keeps the practitioner constantly thinking for the street and only what works versus what looks good.  This maximizes the practitioner’s training time, by not wasting it on theoretical possibilities or fancy ego boosting applications.Masters and Grandmaster’s from all over have influenced my fighting application of Wing Chun Kung Fu, (fl kung fu lakeland).

A purpose filled mind is a mind that thinks for itself, but still gives respect and honor to the individuals responsible for the knowledge and skill they have attained.  A purpose filled mind is a mind of respectful openness to outside stimulus and is extremely thankful when it comes across information that is not fake or fancy and is effective and quick.  You also have an unshakeable resolve to drop your opponent instantaneously.  Your mind and body are purpose driven on the survival of you and your loved ones.Masters and Grandmaster’s from all over have influenced my fighting application of Wing Chun Kung Fu, (fl kung fu lakeland).

There are many Wing Chun principles. Perhaps the most obvious is keeping it simple.  The less complex your movements and techniques are the more direct and the probability of connection increases.  An opponent pulls you and instead of resisting you move in with the energy striking directly while using the opponent’s pull as additional force.  Instead of kicking to the head which may take six to eight feet from the back leg, a Wing Chun kung fu in lakeland fl practitioner will instead use the front leg to strike the opponent’s knee.  This kick to the opponent’s knee is only a three to four foot distance and has all of their current weight being twisted upon it.  A Wing Chun practitioner is not taught to turn the body away from the assailant to make them a smaller target.  Instead they are taught that this pulls fifty percent of their defense away from the attack at hand.  If the assailant was to trap the side closest to them, when closing the gap, the other side would not be able to provide a simple or direct response.  All of Wing Chun’s combinations should flow together to form a “chain” of high and low blasting attacks on the centerline.  These are all things that make this art so different and unique.  They are not attacks on other styles and how they best perform and teach their practitioners but rather a comparison to show what is so unique about every style.Masters and Grandmaster’s from all over have influenced my fighting application of Wing Chun Kung Fu, (fl kung fu lakeland).
Hopefully these articles leave you with questions about my style of Wing Chun fl kung fu lakeland.  The answers and perspectives come from years of training and travels all over the world.  Masters and Grandmaster’s from all over have influenced my fighting application of Wing Chun Kung Fu, (fl kung fu lakeland).

Finding the Best Wing Chun School in Lakeland (or Anywhere)

Refining applications, training powerful reactions , Wing Chun schools and instruction differs depending on where you study and train. In general, Wing Chun doesn’t emphasis elegance, points, or sports-oriented mentalities—its only interest is using the most highly effective and proficient techniques. At its core, the style is almost simplistic—but at the same time devastating. What it all boils down to, however, is that your understanding and ability are based off your teacher’s ability.  If they have it, and they can teach it, you can learn it.

best wing chun school in the usa
Your instructor’s limitations will be yours.
The best Wing Chun school in your area is the one with the best instructor.

Until the invention of Internet videos, it was impossible to compare your instruction and time spent with those offered in other schools. In short, most students were ultimately unsure of whether they were getting the real thing. Unfortunately, many have overlooked Wing Chun simply because there have been a lot of so-called instructors teaching and spreading low-level understandings of Wing Chun. To learn Wing Chun you need more than just an instructor with a fancy title and decorative certificates on a wall. I’ve heard too often about students who have studied under martial arts instructors and have been lead on for over a decade being told that, eventually, one day, they will be allowed to learn ALL of the REAL information…if they just stick around.

These same students have come into our studio and, in one afternoon, seen and done more effective techniques than they accomplished in a decade. At Sifu Och Wing Chun we deny no questions and play no tricks—we just teach survival.

Wing Chun doesn’t ask to be accepted. By its demonstrations of speed, power, versatility, and sheer effectiveness, it leaves the student to draw his own conclusions.

Real-World Practice and Reaction Training

Fighting can be unpredictable and chaotic unless you have trained to respond accordingly to the movements and actions of your assailant. Wing Chun’s applicable reaction should never be pre-calculated or preconceived. How can you decide how a fight will start or end before it’s begun? You can’t. In the best Wing Chun school you’ll find that you’re not reproducing techniques but rather building a direct response. We do this by teaching students to respond to an opponent’s attack, and we train combinations that teach flowing responses that are continuously interchangeable.

You can’t think faster than an unpredictable attack, but you can train to react appropriately in a way that’s extremely effective. Reaction is an innate survival response in every situation, and you can train in various levels, weapons, styles, and degrees of response depending on the situation.

You must train the body to natural respond to any situation even if you have never faced it before. Wrist against wrist, Chi Sau, Don Chi Sau and Bong Lop are all examples of Wing Chun training natural response. Two partners get together with the goal of assisting the other to develop rooting structure, weed out errors and have a constant forward energy without leaning or giving up the centerline.  Since both practitioners are seeking to train the center offense and defense a meeting forward energy is placed and cancels out each other.  By rooting, a Wing Chun practitioner takes the partner’s energy and roots it through the body then this energy is pressed back from the ground through the practitioner and into the partner once again.  By placing and meeting energy a practitioner can feel and calculate the next position of the partner before they reach their destination.  This also means they can diffuse a large portion of the partner’s force as long as proper body structure is maintained (aka don’t lean, stop keeping the arms out from the body, completely relax, or stiffen up and attempt to overpower the partner)

The best wing chun school is the school that has a Wing Chun instructor that expands their knowledge.  A Wing Chun instructor that seeks answers in and outside of their lineage.  A Wing Chun instructor that expands their knowledge within their lineage by asking the hard questions.  A Wing Chun instructor that is willing to fight, spar, and push each aspect of their Wing Chun to find out what is real and what is theory.  A Wing Chun instructor that will place the students development at its peak.

The Best Wing Chun school in the U.S.A. is the one that makes you into the warrior you are meant to be, helps you to reach your true potential, the mental focus of a Shaolin Monk and gives you the answers to your questions without leaving doubt in your heart or mind to their effectiveness.   Your confidence and ability should be pushed in this school, technical information and applicable fighting combinations.

The Best Wing Chun school in the USA, you decide by training and researching the schools nearest you.

Pure Wing Chun, doesn't exist

Pure Wing Chun, doesn’t exist

(this article can not be copied or used on any other site, permission only to share link) First let me start by saying I believe in training pure wing chun, how many schools claim pure wing chun, we all train in wing chun but who is pure?  Who is without the influence of experience and how that has molded how we use Wing Chun, how many schools are out there with a different way to do everyone of the forms, the dummy, even our Chi Sau is different in the way some hold the arms and energy.  Yet so many schools say pure and complete Wing Chun is only taught here.

Traditional Wing Chun also named the eternal springtime art or “every lasting/changing beauty”.   Chinese Martial arts have never produced a completely pure style. Every martial artist has been in some way or form effected by another practitioner by either what they saw, trained in or fought against.  Their background training, fights, and varying scenarios shaped the future of each style creating effective combinations that changed as the practitioner grew.  That is why” Pure Wing Chun” uses reaction and direct centerline rules of engagement.  If you break the rules then you break the centerline which is where your vitals and fighting stability lie.

Conventional Pure Wing Chun likewise named the everlasting springtime symbolization or “each enduring/evolving excellence”. Chinese Martial expressions have never created a totally unadulterated style.

Through research I have found that it is very possible that Wing Chun only had a elite selection of quick direct attacks with simultaneous offense with no combinations or forms.  Rather these may have evolved as ways to hide the fighting style under different governing rules such as on the Red Boat Opera Troupe during the Manchurian Government’s rule.  Later these forms and combinations evolved much like fighting styles of today.  Through differing teaching methods, fight experience and the variety of practitioners and their individual backgrounds.

First and foremost let me begin by saying I have faith in preparing immaculate pure wing chun, what number of schools case unadulterated wing chun, we all train in wing chun however who is immaculate? Who is without the impact of experience and how that has formed how we utilize Wing Chun, what number of schools are out there with an alternate approach to do everybody of the structures, the sham, even our Chi Sau is distinctive in the way some hold the arms and vitality. Yet such a large number of schools say unadulterated and complete Wing Chun is just taught here.

Chinese Martial arts has instead produced many amazingly effective styles of combat and Wing Chun is by far one of them.  From the name of Traditional Wing Chun, Modern Wing Chun, Integrated Wing Chun, the principles set forth are simple, fast and devastating.  Wing Chun’s origins come from five masters who put down all thoughts of self and secrecy and came together to create Wing Chun a style for all oppressed people; Gee Sin Master of Chan (Zen), Ng Mui Master of Dragon Style, White Crane and Five Pattern Hung Kuen, Bak Mei a White Eyebrowed Taoist and Master of Bak Mei, Master Fung To-Tak and Miu Hin an “unshaved” (lay) Shaolin Disciple. Ng Mui was the original founder of the system.  She was the daughter of a Ming Dynasty general, a master of many southern kung fu styles and a Buddhist nun. She was assisted in its completion by four other male shaolin masters whom she had trained with since she was a child.  Wing Chun came together out of the understanding of five different masters from mulitple southern chinese styles of Shaolin kung fu.

Wing Chun came from the best survival methods that the Chinese had in their arsenal and was created during a time when weapons of all types were in use and abundant.First let me start by saying I believe in training pure wing chun.

From knives and guns to large swords, cannons and cultural exchange five  legendary Shaolin masters raised within the Sil Lum Temple created a style to accompany all their collected information and combat knowledge.

wong-shun-leung-fighter-wing-chun
Wong Shun Leung, Wing Chun
a non-traditional, traditionalist

With such a huge history of Chinese martial art secrecy the fact that Wing Chun came from the compilation and unyielding knowledge of five separate unrelated Chinese Martial Master’s is astounding.  Our art is not a pure style because of its need in history not to be, that is what makes it great.  Traditional arts at the time were being held against the Chinese.  Wing Chun was created to allow the weak to overcome the strong through an advanced system of techniques that were created from 5,000 years of conflict.

Even Ip Man was changing the forms up until his death.  It is a well known fact that as Wong Shun Leung fought and brought information from his fights back to Ip Man, the forms changed.  Ip Man didn’t change anything drastically but added to or slightly adjusted movements to better suit his students fighting prowess.   Wing Chun is about reaction and realistic fighting each of its well known practitioner’s are known worldwide because of their fighting ability against other styles and no rule street situations.

Many instructors will tell you not to change what they have taught and the way the system is. Yet there are many Grandmasters and Master’s who have different takes on the same art that are extremely effective.How many schools claim pure wing chun, we all train in wing chun but who is pure?

sifu och wing chun kung fu pure wing chun
Sifu Justin Och, Florida Wing Chun
seeks pure wing chun stylists

Coming together and sharing knowledge was what made Wing Chun great, to hold this back is to have a full understanding from many perspectives lost.  Wing Chun doesn’t need to change, but the practitioner needs to gain a full understanding of all the individual and complex aspects this art contains.   Wing Chun Grandmaster’s change, adapt and grow their art and their students change within the rules and principles Wing Chun sets forth.  Though no style is pure, I have never changed anything within my system of Wing Chun that was not proven and shown to me by a Master or Grandmaster of my system.  Anything seen within my system of Ip Man Wing Chun has come from life times of proven applications and dedication.  I have gone to great lengths and will continue to do so as time passes.

Today, with our ability to strengthen our bodies, and minds and improve our style, we can take Wing Chun’s built-in effective nature to a new level, by coming together and sharing that knowledge.  This website, my travels and teaching this information is my way of starting that process so that we come together as the five once did, lifting the skills and knowledge of any and all that are oppressed and have a passion for this art.  Many styles effectively threaten the goals of purity in original martial art systems, that purity is survival, survival of the style, its power and original intent.  It is time to put down the worry and secrecy and bond towards a common goal of effective representation and instruction in an art that is being lost and muffled in the noise of a new century.  The human body has not changed and effective techniques ring more than any words or thoughts, but only if they are taught to the next generation properly.

Pure Wing Chun doesn’t exist, you make it exist by your training and research

Pure Wing Chun doesn’t exist but you can seek out the instructors who have spoken to and trained under the Master’s and Grandmaster’s who have the best understanding and techniques that keep the purity of the principles, mind set and style of Pure Wing Chun.  This is truly the best way to become a Pure Wing Chun stylist.

That is why” Pure Wing Chun” uses reaction and direct centerline rules of engagement.  If you break the rules then you break the centerline which is where your vitals and fighting stability lie.

Lakeland Florida Martial Arts / Wing Chun Gung Fu by Sifu Och takes discipline, perseverance and a drive.  Gung fu in Lakeland florida martial arts with Sifu Och is unlike any other family martial art or self defense system you may encounter.  Not only does it make stream sense, practical purpose, but it is a traditional martial art with a modern mindset, modern instruction and full body reactionary self defense.

sifu justin och Lakeland Florida Martial Arts gung fu
sifu justin och Lakeland Florida Martial Arts gung fu

Southern Shaolin Gung Fu martial arts contain cultural exchange, full body conditioning and exercise besides being a real skill and fast self defense.  Wing Chun Gung Fu is a extremely popular art throughout the entire world.  Made famous by Ip Man the Grandmaster instructor of Bruce Lee, this system has proven applications, so much so other styles have tried to “borrow” concepts.  The art of Gung Fu is also known as Wu Shu, Kung Fu, Wushu, Kuo Shu.

Many Karate martial art systems share common traits with Gung Fu in both power, foot work and some hand techniques.  The difference in Gung Fu is its ability to move fluidly from relaxed control to absolute explosive power, this combined with Gung Fu’s ability to react to almost any attack imaginable with both offense and defense.  Shaolin Gung Fu is known as one of the oldest forms of self defense martial arts on the planet.

Gung Fu has several variant styles of self defense though the most popular are those with roots to the Shaolin Temple.  Though Gung Fu was practiced in China well before the first Shaolin Temple was raised.  Though it was the Shaolin Temple monks that pressed it forward and refined tactics for War and self defense martial art combat.

There are a large majority of martial artists enthusiasts and practitioners imagine  that and ultimate self defense is the definitive goal of any martial art this includes Gung Fu.  Though amazing and realistic self defense is the one of the great results of Wing Chun Gung Fu, Gung fu is much deeper than just self defense or martial arts moves.  It is a deep sense of enrichment, a body that is toned and fit, a healthy lifestyle, a sense of accomplishment and a life time of achievement.  Sifu Och understands this fact, that Wing Chun Gung Fu is a true art that develops the mind, body and soul of the practitioner.

Lakeland Florida Gung Fu

It is not about teaching students to overpower or conquer others instead Gung Fu teaches students to dive deep within themselves controlling their bodies, reactions, emotions and confidence.  The harmony trained within Gung Fu is the most important, a sense of peace and avoidance of confrontations.  Even within a threatening situation Wing Chun gung fu with all its power, speed and realistic self defense capabilities it teaches the student to rise above the situation.  Instead a Wing Chun gung fu warrior defends himself and those he/she loves only when they are forced or cornered to do so.

Lakeland Florida Martial Arts Wing Chun Gung Fu takes the balance of the mind and body, it’s mechanics, details, and training are essential to proper execution of movement and defense to use minimal strength with maximum results.    This is unlike many other types of martial arts where power is taught over body mechanics, redirection and rooting.

Proper balance is more than just the balance of the body, knees and feet as they touch the ground and there relation to how you strike and kick.  Chinese martial arts believe the concept behind proper balance is within heaven and earth.   Chinese martial arts also known as gung fu teaches its students to focus completely on each objective, clearing the mind of all upset and stress.  Gung Fu trains the mind to focus each thought while empting their cup to reach a state of happiness within every aspect of life.

Will you choose a life of balance, a clear mind, purpose filled and happy with skill, discipline and realistic self defense for your entire family in lakeland florida, or will you choose to keep searching?  It’s up to you as your decision now and in the future all make the difference.  Knowning all of Wing Chun Gung Fu is a dying seed, many do not have the dedication and will to learn it.   Will you allow it to grow in your heart, find the right instructor or will you let it fade from existence?

Chang Quan Long Fist Kung Fu Weapons

Chang Quan Long Fist Kung Fu Weapons

I have included a brief description of long fist’s various weapons found and taught within Chang Quan Long Fist Kung Fu. This northern system of chang quan long fist kung fu is quite different then its southern shaolin kung fu brother Wing Chun kung fu.  Here is a amazing review of the weapons Chang Quan Long Fist Kung Fu offers under the instruction of a High ranking Master and Grandmasters in the system.  Remember that these weapons were used and created for war and though there descriptions may be striking or offsetting in nature there modern training is for the development and empowerment of the practitioner. The modern training and use of these weapons is to increase the strength, flexibility and balance of the student while learning and keeping a ancient form of Kung Fu information and tradition alive. Learning and training can be fun and adventurous as this kind of information is rarely taught and is exciting to learn.

Long Fist Weapons

Double Sword (Shuang Jian) – Better know as today as a Tai Chi or Wushu sword. Many double sword shuang jian long fist are not used for combat anymore and are instead used in the meditative and flowing forms of Tai Chi and Wushu.

Long Staff (Gun Shu) – a universal weapon that can be picked up in a alley or in the woods, this weapon is usually tapered (thicker at one end and thinner at the tip or attacking end). This type of long fist weapon has a huge range of modern and traditional uses.

Spear (Qiang Shu) – A strong and flexible weapon made of impact absorbing wax wood this weapon includes tassels that distract and blur the motions and motives of the long fist spear’s intended targets while in full combat. Besides strength and endurance conditioning the spear is an amazing and fast paced weapon.

Straight Sword (Jian Shu) or Double Broadsword (Shuang Dao) – Dao long fist blades have a slight curved and single sided edge creating an effective sword that can thrust and cut from many angles. It is known as one of the four major weapons of China along with the gun (staff), qiang (spear), and the jian (sword). The Broadsword is a versatile weapon and conditioning tool that has many uses and applications in the modern world and has even been used to improve professionals in baseball and fencing.

Hook Sword – reliable information is hard to come by but this sword is also known as qian kun ri yue dao translated as “Heavenly Sun and Moon Sword”. This long fist sword has also been called the tiger hook sword as it has hooks and guards that are used to trap and/or deflect opponent’s weapons and is often seen in pair’s

Pudao – also known as “podao” this chinese weapon was known as the long fist horse-cutter sword, used to slice the legs of a horse and dismount its rider in a violent manner during the course of war on the battlefield. Shaped like a broadsword but around four to six feet long and originally created as a edged weapon for infantry.

Chain/Nine Section Whip (Bian Shu) – is a nine section steel whip with a handle and sharpened end, it is known for its fluidity, wrapping capabilities around the long fist practitioner’s body parts as well as its flexible and effective uses as a hidden weapon that can strike and move around obstacles and hard to reach opponent’s. A chained weapon that can spin, whip, scar, slash and flow perfectly in balance with a master practitioner’s movements.

Three sectional staff (San Jie Gun) – also known as a “coiling dragon staff” or “pan long gun” this three sectional staff is connected by rope or metal rings and can be spun with or around the long fist practitioner to create powerful strikes at a multitude of differential angles that create a elusive and deceptive method of offensive and defensive attacking strategies.

Meteor Hammer – has two weights connected by a rope or chain, also known as the flying hammer, dragon’s fist or liu xing chui, dai chui. This long fist weapons design made it easily concealable as its flexible design allowed for surprise attack or quick emergency defense

Umbrella – After long fist weapon training was banned by the Chinese Government, the Unbrella was used as a secret and effective way of training sword, staff, stick, or pole techniques. Training with an umbrella can typically be translated easily to swords, clubs, shinai, stick fighting, or other forms of combative weapons.

READER QUESTION – Wing Chun Sparring tips

Every week we get questions from readers about our program or Wing Chun training in general. This week we got a question from Alex B. regarding Wing Chun sparring tips and decided the best way to answer would be to pen a brief article about what we think are some best practices when sparring.


Hello Sifu Och,

I came across one of your online articles about Wing Chun today which I found very convincing on a number of arguments you were making.  I was particularly interested in your remarks which call Wing Chun practitioners to spar against people from other fighting styles in order to become more adaptive in combat.  I want to help cultivate my Wing Chun in this manner but I have run into problems in the past when I try to spar against other styles.

The main issue I experience when sparring is that I have a lot of difficulty harnessing the fluid and automatic actions/reactions that are often second nature when I practice Chi Sao with another Wing Chun practitioner. When it comes to Wing Chun sparring tips, trapping and elbow techniques you’ll find a lot of footage where everyone is 100% out of range.  As a result, I am painfully aware that I am not sparring using Wing Chun but instead I am performing a rather clumsy manner of boxing that has only a loose relation to good Wing Chun movement and form.  Despite sparring on countless occasions with martial artists from a large variety of styles, I have been unable to correct this problem.  In fact, the only time that I ever recall using even halfway decent Wing Chun against a different style was when I sparred against a Kenpo fighter on one occasion a few years back.  Is there any incite or advice you can provide to help me bridge the gap I am experiencing with these different applications of Wing-chun training?  Thank you very much in advance Si-fu.This POst is Provide a good Wing Chun Sparring Tips.

Sincerely,
Alex B******

P.S. I would love the chance to visit your school and learn under you but that is unfortunately outside of my means because I live in Oregon.


if you have any questions that I may be able to help with let me know.  – Sifu Justin Och

Northern Long Fist

Northern Long Fist

Lets take a look at some of our Kung Fu brothers, their history, some of the differences in other styles of Kung Fu such as Northern Long Fist from Northern Shaolin Kung Fu is Great for all ages, Chang Quan Northern Long Fist Shaolin Kung Fu is known for its Tai Chi like meditative forms with its early training in ancient Shaolin Weapons such as; the broad sword, straight sword, staff, spear and whip chain. Chang Quan also known as Long Fist Boxing, Northern Long Fist, the Brave Father of Kung Fu or the Original Northern Shaolin Kung Fu has its roots traced back as far as the Song Dynasty of 960 A.D. This style emphasizes the use of speed and extreme arm, leg and body length to defeat and devastate its opponent’s. Chang Quan Long Fist Chinese Boxing uses high jumping fast techniques combined with body hardening and softness of energy. The generation of power, acrobatics and use of strong fighting stances are explosive and beautiful to watch.

Northern Long Fist Kung Fu
Northern Long Fist Kung Fu

This style of Shaolin kung fu has also been said to be so old that it has no special order or curriculum of training. So unlike many other styles of kung fu and martial arts which require one level of understanding before you are able to grasp the higher levels a Chang Quan Long Fist Master is able to teach a new student the highest levels from day one. Since there is no restrictions or special order of instruction a Master of Chang Quan Long Fist Kung Fu is allowed to teach in complete freedom almost completely unrestricted, this is extremely rare in the martial arts. In a day in age where students wish to jump in and know the most advanced forms and weapons available and get their “hands dirty” immediately, Chang Quan Long Fist Kung Fu allows you to do just that!

Shaolin Kung Fu

How many other forms of Kung Fu have the freedom to teach you the Tai Chi aspects of traditional martial arts, the self defense aspects of a Song Dynasty Kung Fu and the Weapons of the Shaolin Temple from day one. Not Many as a Master of the Long Fist doesn’t have to wait 10-15 years under strict rules and regulations to teach you the advanced forms and weapons of the Shaolin Temple, but rather can show you from day one of training. As time progresses you are able to Master each section as your assisted in each detail of balance, structure and precision. This type of martial art, though as ancient and traditional as they come, being call the “brave father of kung fu” is particularly appealing to today’s learning environment. Along with form and weapon training, Chang Quan Long Fist’s use of Tai Chi like forms with weapons, both in large circular movements and flowing patterns can help to improve balance, muscular structure and overall body conditioning in a soft and non-stress induced manner. You can also attend specialized classes that demonstrate and teach Chang Quan Long Fist Kung Fu’s chi na or qin na joint-locking techniques, throws, takedowns, long distance defense and shuai jiao (chinese grappling / wrestling / throwing training).

Chang Quan Long Fist is a great style for those seeking a Northern Shaolin style of Kung Fu or a Style that will teach them Shaolin Weapon’s in the early stages of training. Chang Quan Long Fist teaches forms and shaolin kung fu weapon training from day one.   Chinese Martial Art and Tai Chi Weapon Training.

Jeet Kune Do in Lakeland Florida

Jeet Kune Do Wing Chun Lakeland Florida

The Influence Wing Chun Kung Fu On Jeet Kune Do

Jeet Kune Do is known by different names, most popular of them being Jeet Kun Do and Jeet Kuen Do apart from the normal acronym of JKD. Jeet Kune Do is the famed form of martial art founded by one of the most reputed and respected martial arts legend Bruce Lee. While the system of JKD has become known primarily as a form of martial art, a hybrid system developed from many forms of martial arts, yet it is predominantly a way of life, as Bruce Lee had himself written in books and said in interviews.

Jeet Kune Do is said to have drawn the best practices of all major martial art forms and amalgamated them all to form a unique art that is referred to as a ‘style without style’ with the single agenda of helping a man to fight and defend himself without getting tired and with minimal effort throughout. The principles of Jeet Kune Do are firmly rooted in four ranges of combat namely kicking, punching, trapping and grappling. The multiple modes of attack in JKD are single direct attack, attack by combination, progressive indirect attack, hand immobilization attack and attack by drawing.

While the style of JKD is truly unique and you may notice that when you visit a Lakeland martial art school, yet Jeet Kune Do is heavily drawn from Wing Chun Kung Fu. It is widely known that Bruce Lee was trained on Wing Chun Kung Fu in his formative years and he had eventually become an expert in the art form. When he became a worldwide sensation of martial art, all black and white pictures of Bruce Lee practicing off the set was indeed that of Wing Chun Kung Fu. However, many films of his indeed featured Jeet Kune Do.

There are many differences between Wing Chun Kung Fu and Jeet Kune Do but without the latter, there would be no former. The first major role that Wing Chun Kung Fu played in the creation of Jeet Kune Do was when Bruce wanted to try out certain things that would be different and equally or more effective, his trainer, the legendary Yip Man prevented him from doing so, thus frustrating the rising legend to form his own art.

Furthermore, almost every movement, posture, form, defense and offense tactic draws from Wing Chun Kung Fu. Jeet Kune Do either betters what that the former had to offer or keeps certain methods intact which were perfect. Wing Chun Kung Fu indeed is pivotal and the most contributive to what JKD is today.

Kung fu Dying

Kung fu Dying

With the world growing and the globalization of knowledge a digital video away you would think that the traditions, techniques and level of martial artist would rise to extreme new levels.   Instead this is had the opposite effect, a fast food effect if you will of martial artists calling themselves Masters of whatever self taught or proclaimed system they have studied.  Unfortunately there are always associations and instructors willing to sell certifications, black belts, and certifications to untrained and unwarranted practitioners of the martial arts.

Find me a real Master of the traditional martial arts that has learned, pressed, pushed and dedicated themselves.  It is difficult, sure there is a Master on every corner of every street, you can find them self proclaimed and supposedly trained.  Though a real Master of Kung Fu who understands, knows and is able to use the very aspects of their Kung Fu system is becoming rarer and rarer.Kung fu dying but you can make the difference in where you choose to learn and spend your time and dedication.

 

With online digital media everywhere supposedly teaching you whatever you would want to know, see or train in.  With this being the case why is it that the knowledge is dying, the information is disappearing and the skills are diminishing. Kung fu dying but you can make the difference in where you choose to learn and spend your time and dedication.

The love and culture of Kung Fu is becoming extinct with the inception of “feeling good”, a “pat on the back”, and get what you can, what you want and then who cares about the instructor or the school.Kung fu dying on however you can have the effect in where you decide to learn and invest your time and devotion.  So many people only think of what’s in it for the “me and I”.    Kung Fu is disappearing, the culture, the love, the dedication and true practitioners.   Wing Chun Kung Fu is among them, coming together so many well versed Masters and practitioners have applications and hidden treasures.

With the inception of the Ip Man movies we have seen so many people claim to be Masters and instructors of this system without warrant or real knowledge. These so called martial art instructors tell you that you can learn system a, b, c, d and oh yea we also teach x.   You can have everything in one place they will tell you just like a fast food joint.  Multiple systems of the martial arts a little of everything.  Chasing many rabbits but never becoming a Master of none.  Just like any industry there are people who will say they are something they never were or reached.Kung fu dying but you can make the difference in where you choose to learn and spend your time and dedication.

It is up to you to check around, see the difference in instructors, classes and ability and not just a friendly face looking to enroll you.

With respect we only have so much time in the day, where will you divide it and how? Learn from a instructor dedicated and real one that you have researched, dedicated yourself and learn everything you can.  Let’s say the average person with a job and family trains 4 hours a week (with 168 hours in a week).Kung fu dying on however you can have the effect in where you decide to learn and invest your time and devotion.  How much time are you spending training?  about 16 hours in a month out of 672 hours.  So how will you divide your time?Kung fu dying on however you can have the effect in where you decide to learn and invest your time and devotion.  Perfecting one to two systems or spreading your time over  multiple?  If your child came to you and said I am going towards five master degrees, do you truly believe they will attain all of them?  Do you honestly feel that they would get all that info down or just kinda understand?Kung fu dying on however you can have the effect in where you decide to learn and invest your time and devotion.  How long would it take to concentrate and gain power, skill and ability in each?  Do you feel like I do that Mastering one and maybe taking a minor in another would focus their skills, attention and success?

Bruce Lee – ” I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.”

Understanding, training and finding a real Master you can learn from that is dedicated to uplifting you and those around them with true intent, knowledge and skill is a source not taken lightly.  I wish you well in your journey as there are many bumps and detours ahead of you.  Train hard, take each set necessary to understand, push and gain the entire system for your own sake and the sake of its future, its significance within culture and the legacy of determination, perseverance, confidence and protection it affords all those who dedicate themselves.

Kung fu dying but you can make the difference in where you choose to learn and spend your time and dedication.

Kung Fu and the traditional martial arts were made during times of War thus they were made for survival not for flowery techniques and cool looks.  If your interested in learning the Chinese Martial Arts, Traditional Martial Arts or Wing Chun Kung Fu come down to our studio in Downtown Lakeland Florida USA.  Sifu Och Wing Chun kung fu is a place where you can keep the traditional martial arts of Chinese Kung Fu alive.Kung fu dying on however you can have the effect in where you decide to learn and invest your time and devotion.

Sifu Och Kids Summer Day Camp

It’s only February, but the days are growing longer, and the temperatures are slowly starting to rise. Summer is right around the corner! Therefore, it is time to start thinking about who will be taking care of your children during the day while you’re away at work, and most likely there are several options for you to consider. You can leave them with a family member, hire a full-time babysitter, or enroll them in a day care center. Yet have you ever considered registering your Kids Summer Day Camp?

lakeland-holiday-day-camps-florida-sifu-och-wing-chun--kung-fuWhen thinking about summer camp, individuals typically envision children experiencing the great outdoors, sleeping on bunk beds in a log cabin, hiking through the wilderness, roasting marshmallows over an open fire, and swimming or canoeing in a fish-filled lake. Although many summer camps of this variety do exist, they can cost thousands of dollars and your child can be hundreds of miles from home for weeks or even months.You can leave them with a family member, hire a full-time babysitter, or enroll them in a day care center. Yet have you ever considered registering your Kids Summer Day Camp.

Luckily, Lakeland Florida boasts several affordable day camps, each centered on different interests. For example, some focus solely on sports while others give children the opportunity to enhance their musical talents. On the other hand, some summer programs concentrate on academic enrichment, where campers engage in hands-on learning activities in math, science, etc. In addition, many Lakeland day camps are operated by trusted organizations such as area schools, universities, recreational facilities, museums, and churches.

However, the youth day camp hosted by Sifu Och Wing Chun in downtown Lakeland is one of the most unique summer programs in Polk County. Rather than practicing just one skill during the summer, children participating in Sifu Och’s summer camp are exposed to a variety of different activities led by certified staff members, including professional dance instructor Kevin Rios of Just Dance Academy of Dance and Ettiquette and Eastern U.S.A. International Black Belt Hall of Famer Sifu Justin Och.

Campers engage in professional dance, culinary arts, theater, arts and crafts, music, kung fu, taekwondo, Chinese ju-jitsu, karate, and boxing Monday through Friday from June to August. Therefore, children get the opportunity to broaden their horizons, to find out what activities they enjoy the most and will continue to pursue in the future. Furthermore,You can leave them with a family member, hire a full-time babysitter, or enroll them in a day care center. Yet have you ever considered registering your Kids Summer Day Camp. Sifu Och campers also participate in movie days and field trips to Barnett Family Park, Polk Museum of Art and other fun area locations. What a great alternative to sitting around the house this summer playing video games, watching cartoons, and eating unhealthy snack foods!

Although the children learn a little from all sorts of practices, the most important thing Sifu Och and his volunteers instill in their summer campers are basic life principles such as

discipline, teamwork, responsibility, respect, and restraint. In fact, before children can engage in martial arts and receive their Wing Chun Kung Fu uniforms, they must demonstrate the above characteristics. Additionally, Sifu Och and his staff require children to clean up after themselves, help others in need, and control their behavior. If certain campers are unable to act with discipline, their privilege to participate in activities is revoked. As a result, it’s highly likely you’ll see a positive change in your child’s behavior and attitude because of Sifu Och’s disciplined summer program.You can leave them with a family member, hire a full-time babysitter, or enroll them in a day care center. Yet have you ever considered registering your Kids Summer Day Camp.

Wing Chun Warrior Dash

The Sifu Och Wing Chun Kung Fu group teamed up and headed out to the Warrior Dash 5K in Florida!

wing chun warrior dash lakeland kung fu sifu och

Our Lakeland, Florida-based Sifu Och Wing Chun Kung Fu team took the challenge of the Warrior Dash 5K. We found ourselves leaping over live embers and fire and then dropping down and crawling through deep wet mud…and that was jut the beginning!

Crawling under barbed wire and getting low and dirty, our team of guys and gals felt right at home, pushing through the miles scaling wood walls and climbing up and over chain ropes. We waded through dark soaked muddy water up to our chests (which happened to also be as cold as ice) and then ran through sand to our next checkpoint. We had to work both foot and eye coordination as we ran and moved through laid out tires and ran over smashed cars-stepping on the hood, top, and trunk of the vehicles trying to keep our balance. It was a dirty event, with plenty of mud and dirt…but there’s nothing quite like it!

sifu och wing chun warrior dash kung fu lakeland florida
Sifu Och Wing Chun’s Garret Richardson was one of the competitors in the Warrior Dash 5K race.

Of course, we couldn’t forget that after that we still had to climb a net of ropes to get to the top of a platform, then climb down before running up and down large hills! Balancing our bodies on beams of small plywood was next, all while jumping over water-soaked fences! Oh, and did I forget to mention this was all with water spraying and gushing down on us from above!

All in all, this was an amazing time. Next year, come join us and feel free to contact us at sifuochwingchun@gmail.com to join our Lakeland kung fu crew–We’re crazy about fitness and self defense!
