Become More Powerful!
Would you like to become a more powerful person? Once you start learning Wing Chun, you'll become powerful in ways you’ve never imagined. What is Wing Chun? Wing Chun is a "real world" martial art and not a sport. Its focus is wholly on street self-defense or fighting. It is a thinking person's system designed to achieve impressive results in a relatively brief time. These results usually take others in martial artists 10, 15, even 20 years to attain. Since 1998 Sifu Armando Sainz, a 9th Level "Man of Arrival" and a certified instructor, has been providing instruction in Wing Chun Kung Fu. His classes are held at Centerline Academy of Martial Arts in the Jacksonville, FL area. Sifu Sainz has been involved in martial arts since 1979. He is a 7th generation Sifu (teacher, master) in a line of senior students from Yip Man (Bruce Lee's teacher).
(PRWEB) March 11, 2004 -- Naturally, our martial arts classes will increase
your physical strength, teach you practical self-defense skills in a very short
time and give you plenty of extra energy. But wait until you see how much we’ll
strengthen your mind.
Our unique curriculum will teach you how to focus
like a laser. We’ll coach you into higher levels of confidence, self-discipline,
and courage. Plus, we’ll rocket your attitude to the next level and beyond. But
best of all, our students see results fast!
The way Sifu Armando Sainz
produces efficient fighters in a relatively short amount of time is by sticking
to several core concepts and by paying strict attention to detail. Much training
time is spent cultivating "Sensitivity or Contact Reflexes." The student
practices guarding various zones about the body and deals with whatever happens
to be contacted or touched in that zone. This allows for a minimum of technique
for a maximum of application, and for the use of an automatic or subconscious
response.
Most of the techniques taught are hand techniques and the
style is best known for its quick punches. Only low kicks are used. Traps and
other kinds of controls are important as well. Trapping and speed are developed
through the famous "sticky hands" (Chi Sao) training, which also teaches
balance. The Mook Jong, a wooden dummy used for training footwork and alignment,
is also a well-known training method. There are three forms used in the style:
Siu Nim Tao, Chum Kiu, and Bil Jee.
Only two weapons are taught in Wing
Chun. The Dragon Pole and the Butterfly Knives are generally taught only once
the student has a firm foundation in the art. Weapons training drills offer the
similar ideas and concepts as the open hand system, including the use of Contact
Reflexes. Many of the weapon movements are built off of or mimic the open hand
moves - this is the reverse process of Kali/Escrima/Arnis, where weapon
movements are learned first.
The aim of Centerline Academy of Martial
Arts is to produce highly effective fighting skills in every student. Our desire
is to develop physical, mental and spiritual wholeness through a dynamic
curriculum.
Some other benefits are stress control, relaxation, muscle
tone, weight control, physical fitness, agility, coordination, balance,
determination, discipline, self esteem, leadership, motivation, character,
improved concentration and confidence. This will transcend to a higher quality
of life and overall well being.
Centerline Academy of Martial Arts has
produced champions in life as well as in the martial arts.
Becoming a more
powerful person is within the reach of anybody regardless of sex, body type or
muscle development.
