You won't learn a hitting ving tsun, but instead a ving tsun kung fu like you've never seen or heard of.
Sifu Stauner was the first of many to teach the level one in Germany.
As we have no interest in stealing other's students, let's clear up missunderstandings and fears of that kind from the beginning.
Our ''level one'' should be considered as a complementary formation for students that already have chi sao knowledge. Which means we teach our knowledge (level one) entirely in seminars or as a complete formation of it's own based on the prices as descriebed hereafter.
If someone decides to contact us, he is welcome to do so per phone or mail.
What is level one ?
We define the level one program as a formation that follows the normal class, beginning with basics of chi sao skills.
In this program, there are no techniques or sections, and even less applications for a confrontation. It contains exercices and drills that will allow the students to understand and achieve given skills like the followings :
Structural strength of the arms and whole body
Balance / Stand / Sitting
Hitting strength/ Power
Steps
Angle work of the arms and body
Orientation / facing
Centerline principle
Principles, concepts, ideas and theories
and so on...
Ving tsun kung fu is a system that is renowned for its devastating hitting techniques.
For many of the initiated people, the system falsely seems to be mostly limited to chain punch combinations. But there definitely is much more than that to it.
Wong Shun Leung already stated that these people were teaching an incomplete version of this devastating martial art.
Many people just don't know anything else, never having had the chance to discover it presented otherwise.
Grandmaster Yip Man stopped using punches in chi sao and even less of the crossing hands system.
He turned his opponents off by pushing and pulling them, which also initially belongs to ving tsun system.
For a high level ving tsun practitioner, pushing and pulling should belong to the program anyway. It just makes him a smarter fighter.
The level one is meant to build the structure and strength needed to than practice the push and pull techniques.
