Wing Chun is a very unique form of martial arts, which specializes in close combat, using fast punches and tight defense kicks and dexterity to accelerate forward. Effective Wing Chun can be achieved by coordinating attacks and defenses and counterattacks simultaneously.

Wing Chun practitioners must learn to throw the right amount of energy into a relaxed state. A good Wing Chun teacher will teach his students to overcome attacks by adjusting the position and structure of the body rather than facing it directly. Wing Chun styles include kicking, parrying, sequential attacks, boxing, trapping and controlling techniques as part of battle.
