Wing Chun
Southern Chinese boxing
Wing Chun is a Chinese martial art that emphasizes close-range combat, quick strikes, and efficient defensive movements.
Developed in southern China, it relies on sensitivity to an opponent's movements rather than brute strength, making it accessible to practitioners of various sizes and builds.
Wing Chun training typically includes forms, wooden dummy practice, and partner drills like chi sao (sticky hands).
She studied Wing Chun for years before feeling confident in self-defense situations.
