Philosophy

One who excels as a warrior does not appear formidable
One who excels in fighting is never aroused in anger
One who excels in defeating his enemies does not join issues
One who excels in employing others humbles himself before them
- This is the virtue of non contention matching the sublimity of heaven

The aim of Wing Chun Kung Fu is to develop physical, mental and spiritual awareness. These elements transcend you to a higher level of life. Self awareness, self respect and a duty to serve should be the goal of life in every martial artist. Meditate on these principles and make peace on your study of Kung Fu, a way of life.

When fear is removed, the arrogance of uncertainty is dispelled. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to prove yourself in any form of combat. By learning how to fight, you learn how not to fight.
