Aimed at all those who practice Wing Chun Kung Fu, especially those who wish to learn more advanced techniques, together with martial artists in general.
Well illustrated with over colour photographs and useful drawings. Sifu Shaun Rawcliffe is one of the highest qualified and certified Wing Chun instructors in the world. The three hand sets are shown in detail, along with the application of the key movements. One of the keys to Wing Chun is laying a proper foundation.
This allows the body to learn, adapt and integrate the techniques until they can be expressed reflexively without conscious thought. The progression also takes into account the changes and transformation in both body and mind.
Command and Mastery of each step creates an ever-growing comprehension of the principles and concepts. Wing Chun Concepts does not use belts or formal, military-style ranking. Instead, it uses simple levels of study, much like the progression through college: freshman, sophomore, junior, senior. Since no one wears kimonos anymore, there is no practical need for belts or sashes. Instead, we use T-shirts, marked and color-coded to note the current level of training.
There are eight levels in all, including two preparation levels, three core levels, and three optional levels of sharpening, polishing and refining.
This is like the time spent in high school figuring out your major and the university you want to attend. You learn the requirements for studying Kung Fu, the specific focus of the Zen-based martial arts of Shaolin, and the unique character and objective of the science of Wing Chun.

If you are new to martial arts training, you will want to spend some time at this level to acclimate to the mental and physical demands of training. Building a strong foundation of skill, fitness and mental endurance at this level assures success in future levels and helps prevent injury.
Experienced martial artists should briefly review this level, paying special attention to anything that might be new or significantly different from your previous training. You will learn how to hit without breaking your hand.
