In close range combat, there is rarely time for a cognitive evaluation of the situation. Wing Chun uses logical, easy to understand techniques which are designed to become reflex actions.
Attack is the best form of defense. Wing Chun uses the shortest possible path for these attacks at all times.
Based on sound combat and biomechanical principles, Wing Chun does not require great strength or athleticism. It produces results using the minimum amount of effort for a given situation.
