Women Wing Chun - Dunstable


Women Wing Chun

  Wing Chun Kung Fu is for everyone, yet it was designed to deal with much stronger opponents. The philosophy of the Wing Chun gives the female student the ability to learn in an environment that allows them to stay and feel safe... 

  For the majority of women, the thought of attending a martial arts class to learn to effectively defend themselves is possibly the worst thought of the day, typically a male dominated environment can be a very intimidating one, women who are looking to defend themselves from being attacked by a male is therefore a scary prospect to train with them.

  With this in mind, the philosophy of the Wing Chun Class room is very different to others and gives the female student the ability to learn in an environment that allows them to stay and feel safe, yet be given the confidence to train in a way where the new found skills and ability can be developed against predominantly those that it will be needed against in real life situations.

  The Wing Chun System is dedicated to work for everyone and certainly lends itself to those of us with a smaller stature and of a weaker position, this is because it relies on Theories and Concepts as opposed to brute strength, Wing Chun is about understanding body mechanics and the use of efficient movement rather than set techniques that may not work against different people, Its about how to avoid using strength and force and a successful student will learn to use their body structure correctly; this is a key element in Wing Chun practice.

 

Weight Loss & Fitness

 Would you like to get fit and lose weight while learning a form of self-defense, Wing Chun is based on technique rather than strength and involves natural cardiovascular exercise compared to many Martial Arts that rely on Brute Strength, Wing Chun is a Martial art that is perfect for women which is why it was invented by a women!

 Confidence & Self Esteem

 Confidence (Self Confidence) is regarded about how we feel within ourselves from the knowledge that we hold about ourselves! Self Esteem, How we feel about ourselves based on our perception of what others think about us!
 
One of these is inwards thinking and the other is outwards thinking, very few people understand how to change these and make them grow within our minds, this is a big part of your martial arts training and two key elements that grow through your classes. Confidence is grown by the intake of Knowledge, from a self defence perspective we may hold on to a lack of confidence as we feel fear from being attacked by others and do not hold the knowledge to deal with this, Your martial arts classes are designed to grow this area of your confidence.

With greater confidence we give out expressions on to others that change there perception of us and therefore changes the way that they treat you, it is true that the best way to deal with a bully is to stand up against them, you give off greater confidence by doing this and therefore they back down, your self esteem grows as you realise you can do it! Your self esteem goes up!

 

 Womens only One Day Course

 One day Self Defence courses for Women only are a great way to introduce yourself to learning the basics of Wing Chun in a female only environment. As a dedicated group it means that you can work through the Wing Chun material in a comfortable manor, however we do not believe that women only classes should be maintained, there is no substitute for normal classes, we believe this to be a stable training environment  that improves your new skills.

The instructor will introduce you to the key subjects of Self defence and work through a well written curriculum so at the end of the one day course you have a good foundation to work with into the future, Unfortunately in the world of Self defence there is no substitution for ongoing personal development in this subject and you will either feel confident enough to continue your training in a class environment or feel a little more confident in your day to day surrounding.

Please contact us to check when this one day course is available.
