- New Article : "How to
choose the right martial arts school ? Faq - Question and answer. What is kungfu ? Kungfu is actually a general term of traditional chinese martial arts. The term of "kungfu" itself is not the right term to describe Chinese martial arts. The correct word the describe Chinese Martial Arts should be "Chuan Fa". The correct meaning of Kungfu is the achievement of practicing "Chuan Fa" for very long time. Studying kungfu(Chuan Fa) is like driving a car. There are so many different kind and qualities of cars which is some are better suited for specific purpose. Some cars are built for speed, some for utility, etc. Many type of Kungfu are suited to many kinds of needs and situations. What's the differents between kungfu & other martial arts? Kung Fu originated in China. Most of the other oriental martial arts are either derived from or greatly influenced by Chinese Kung Fu. Another point to note is that Kung Fu is an all encompassing martial art, while most other forms are more narrow in scope. Japanese Judo deals mainly with throws and joint locks. Japanese Karate deals mainly with punching, blocking, kicking, and striking. Korean Tae Kwon Do deals mainly with empty hand, and kicking techniques. Chinese Kung Fu has empty hand, kicks, blocks, throws, joint locks, as well as weapon techniques and herbal medicine. Chinese Kung Fu also covers a much broader scope than others martial arts do. Are there any belts like black belt in kungfu? The black belt system was developed by the Japanese to rank in Judo. Later the black belt system was adapted for those practicing karate. Kung Fu is a Chinese system and does not use Japanese ranking systems. In various Kung Fu schools, they will have their own ranking systems. In our school, we use the sash system to divide the learning materials. Why Wing Chun compared to other martial arts? While martial arts are a great way to improve health and learn self defense, Wing Chun is the easiest and fastest to learn, it's the most effective martial art for people of any size or fitness level and has clear fitness and energy level benefits you will see from the first class. Wing Chun is a system that was designed specifically by Shaolin kung fu masters and other masters from different kungfu style to take less training time and be more effective than any other fighting style. Why is it faster and easier to learn wingchun than other fighting styles? Because Wingchun relies on concept rather than hundreds of techniques. Once the student understand some of the critical concept of the wingchun, they can create their own techniques. Did Bruce Lee create it? No. Bruce Lee studied Wing Chun for many years but when he was denied advanced training in Wing Chun he created Jun Fan Wing Chun, and Jeet Kune Do, based partly upon the Wing Chun kumg fu that he already knew. What is the differents between Fu Kien Wingchun and other wingchun style such as Yip(Ip) Man or FoShan wingchun? Fukkienese Eng Chun (Wingchun) came from the Fukkien area in China and was brought down to Indonesia. It is a very unique Wingchun style and uses the fukkienese dialect. Some of the main characteristic found between these two type of wingchun are 1. We use pararel stance, some others use goat-clamped stance 2. The origin of Fukien Wingchun came from five male master, some others came from female master<yim wing chun&Ng Mui> 3. We use Fukkienese dialect called Hokkian for all the terminology. Others use Cantonese. ** Our instructor also learn other wingchun called vikoga wingchun which came from many different sources such as the Yip man lineage, Malaysia Wingchun, Nan Yang Wngchun, Vietnam Wingchun(Vingh Xuan), and Foshan Wingchun. What are Wingchun/Engchun features? 1. Centerline theory. 2. simultaneous attack and defense. 3. sticky hands and sticky legs practice. 4. trapping hands. Etc. What is Centerline theory? Centerline is the straight line between your opponent spine and your spine. Therefore, punching and kicking along this line takes the shortest time and distance. In our FuKien Wingchun system, we always cover and occupy the centerline. What is "simultaneous attack and defense."? Most other styles teach block first, then attack. Some of them even move out of the way first or going backward, then attack. Wing Chun teaches simultaneous attack and defense from the very beginning. Most times one limb parries or deflects as the another limb attacks, but sometimes one limb can perform multiple functions, which is immobilizing two arms and attacking at the same time. The japanese-martial-arts-instructor is known as Sensei, What is the title of a kungfu instructor? A kungfu instructor is called "Su Hu"(Si-Fu). It means teacher/master. What is the name of training facility called in Chinese? Bu Koan is the name used referred to training facility Do you have a complete list of title/names that I should call everyone with inside Bu Koan? Jo Su = Founder of style Su Co = Great grandmaster Su Kong = Grandmaster Su Hu = Master Su Mu = Master's wife Su Pek = Master's older kungfu brother Su Cek = Master's younger kungfu brother Su Heng = My older Kungfu Brother Su Tee = My younger kungfu brother Su Cik = My older kungfu sister Su Me = My younger kungfu sister Back<< |
