ClassicVING TSUN

(Master Paraskevas David will be holding a Classic Ving Tsun Workshop at the Mind/Body and Spirit Show on  Sunday 15th November 2009 which will be free for the Show). Introduction of Real kung Fu

From Chinese KUNG FU comes, the Lighting Fast Art of Classic Ving Tsun which is a great example of a Non-Traditional Method, Founded in the 17th Century by the Buddhist Nun Mg Mui of the Siu Lum Monastery. She had made an exhaustive study of the Leading Traditional methods and came to the conclusion that they contained weaknesses, too many elaborate stances and techniques although impressive to the eye was of doubtful practical value. As a result she has developed the most logical and effective System of Close-Range Combat ever devised.

Observing many existing Styles of Kung Fu characterized elaborate Stances and the emphasis was on Brute Strength, the only student of Ng Mui, Yim Ving Tsun created an entirely new concept in Martial Arts thinking, revolutionizing Close Quarters’ Combat, that became twice as fast as any other; The hallmarks include economy of movement, directness of action, and conservation of energy, a type of straight Punch and the unique practice known as Chi Sau or Sticking Hands and Wooden Dummy training 'Mook Yan Jong'. Further development led to 3 Empty Hand Forms, Traditional Weapons such as Butterfly Knives and Long Pole.

Martial Arts Legend Bruce Lee was inspired by his training in CVT developed his own System called Jeet Kune Do, ‘Intercepting Fist’. Intercepting an Attack is a major part of the Classic Ving Tsun Style. He was a disciple of CVT Kung Fu with Master Victor Kan and others during the 50’s at Grandmaster Ip’s Man School, Hong Kong.

The Concepts and Principles in this System are so complete and flexible that an individual can simultaneously respond to an attack with an attack instinctively. With this profound flexibility at the heart, one is able to develop their own Style as the Late Bruce Lee. CVT Kung Fu has become a Science of Natural Body Movement, with the underlying Rule of Law, the shortest Distance between Two Points, that of a Straight Line.   
Real Kung Fu is a way of life that can challenge and develop your potential, gaining a higher truth and awareness discipline and confidence, a Balanced Mind and Body, and Self Defense.

Honesty is my Policy. Below

‘LUCKILY, I came to your school when I was young and very naïve, and gained a great foundation, for future training, and an introduction to traditional Chinese martial arts, a life long quest for self discovery, self improvement, and martial skill. The awareness of traditional training and authenticity that I have learned through the attendance of your school has been of HUGE benefit to me. If only everyone had this awareness to’.   Dan Carvalho
