What is Sao Lim Wing Chun?

-


INTRODUCTION:

Sao Lim Wing Chun is a synergy of Shaolin Kung Fu and Wing Chun 

The foundation training will be from the Shaolin kung Fu philosophy, concentrating on building strength, endurance, stamina and self discipline.


This part of the training is from my late Sifu, the famous Shaolin Master “Iron Fist” Chong Beng Joo. He was one of the most prominent disciple of Reverend Sek Koh Sum, the legendary 49th generation of the Chinese Buddhist lineage; the first being the revered Bodhidharma (Damo).

Wing Chun Kuen’s concept and principles will form the basis of the training method for techniques and applications. Wing Chun Kuen trains the awareness and sensitivity of one’s own body movements derived from the soft, relaxed tendon and joints power. It emphasizes on the center line theory, using opponent’s strength than using own brute strength, structural integrity, economy of energy, timing and space.  Weapons training will be part of the curriculum, using different weapons at various levels. Weapons training will improve one’s agility, timing, positioning, awareness and inner core strength.

Sometimes people failed to realize the Truth..... and may not want to acknowledge it. There are many unscrupulous martial artists getting affiliated with so called "Grand masters" just to exploit the popularity of Wing Chun. Equally unscrupulous are the so called "Grand masters", appointing their representatives with just a few seminars. These are the dish...

Philosophy Sao Lim Wing Chun is not intended to be just a martial art style or a self defense system, or a tactical effective fighting method. It is also a well thought philosophical approach for cultivating a holistic well-being to help the modern society to de-stress and have a balanced life style.  By synergizing various Kung Fu systems, it aims to effectively finished any encounters as fast as possible by subduing the opponent instead of causing maximum harm. In order to do so, Qinna is heavily emphasized in the system. Qinna is also very appropriate and effective for self- defense, especially so for ladies. in order to do that, the "soft", "internal", "joint power" and "core body muscles" must be developed through various breathing methods, body alignment, "sticky energy", "sinking energy", mass, momentum and force flow etc. "Rolling hands", called Dap Sao Flow, in our our system, is a method to develo...
