TRADITIONAL WING CHUN KUNG FU (Yip Man Lineage)     

Wing Chun is a Chinese martial art. A distillation of the all the best, most effective techniques from the Shaolin Animal Kung Fu Styles (namely Snake and Crane). It was designed specifically to focus on close range combat and practical self defence. Being one of the world’s most devastating “combat” arts, Wing Chun is a practical, intelligent, applied science.

Since 1993 Sifu Peter Aktin has trained under some of the World’s Best Wing Chun Masters. Principally Sifu Joe Molnar, he has also studied under Master David Cheung and Grandmaster William Cheung. Three direct Generations from Yip Man, Sifu Peter teaches Wing Chun with passion and a total confidence in the system’s usage and effectiveness. 

At the Eastern Kung Fu Academy our class structures and grading syllabus are all standardized to give the student a clear view of their journey from the very beginning.

THE FOCUS OF THE EASTERN KUNG FU ACADEMY’S WING CHUN KUNG FU

•    The focus of Wing Chun is to make a more efficient and effective martial artist through constant practice and due diligence.
•    To use intelligence instead of brute force to overcome confrontations or problems.  
•    To achieve power through economy, technique and body alignment.
•    To conserve vital energies and continue on our way forward.
•    Ultimately to understand the Wing Chun method of offense and defense.
•    To better ourselves and help those around us in our families and communities.

Wing Chun is about progression of mental and physical abilities. Wing Chun principles are centered mainly on economical use and effectiveness. To use the right amount of energy, rather than the maximum to achieve a goal.“The original idea of Wing Chun was the ability to deflect and strike simultaneously. Wing Chun is about efficiency and an economy of energy while still being totally effective in its’ intent. We focus on being direct in combat with no mucking around. To get the job done quickly and ferociously.”
