We believe that martial arts can allow a person to develop a greater understanding of themselves (and others). Whilst we believe Wing Chun is a realistic and highly effective martial art which gives practitioners practical skills in self defence, it also, with enough practice  helps students develop themselves as individuals. Adopting such an aim, a one of (self) improvement translates neatly into ultimately what becomes, your Wing Chun.

​

ABOUT OUR WING CHUN

​

Our aim is to practice in a realistic way. What could this mean?

​

The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool

 

We are always looking to find ways of using Wing Chun Kung Fu in a practical, useful way in both its application martially - in violent situations, but also to use the simplicity of the system in our everyday lives and interactions. This video can help explain some of these ideas further. Our aim is not to fight; not to struggle in any perceived conflict, whether this is in a physical, violent sense or dealing with stressors in our everyday life. We want to approach any situation the same way, with calmness and an intention to move beyond the things that we'd otherwise struggle with.

​

At Appletree Wing Chun you will find us practising with relaxation and seeking improvement through investigating the forms as a means to self educate, not through any other repetition and drilling. Our aim is to avoid adding, instead to remain true to the essence of Wing Chun as a direct, simplified idea.
