About
Havant Wing Chun is a renowned martial arts club located in Havant, New Zealand. The club specialises in the practise and teaching of Wing Chun, a science of close quarter combat that focuses on body, mind, and well-being. While Wing Chun is primarily a combat method, it offers much more than just fighting skills, making it a way of life.
The classes at Havant Wing Chun cover a wide range of skills, including striking methods and understanding how to move the body in relation to the forces exerted by an opponent or partner. The club emphasises power generation from a physics standpoint, making Wing Chun accessible to individuals of any age, build, or temperament. Students also learn how to listen to their own body and their partner's, converting this awareness into the most efficient and direct way to respond to an attack without relying on physical strength.
The relaxed and supportive nature of the classes ensures that students are never pressured into doing something they are uncomfortable with. Listening, relaxing, and honing in on the body's signals are key aspects of becoming proficient in Wing Chun. Progression through the system is individually graded, focusing on skill rather than seniority.
Havant Wing Chun is affiliated with the Sifu Cliff Au Yeung Ving Tsun Method, which places great importance on mobility, internal power, and finely tuned contact reflexes. This affiliation ensures that the club pays careful attention to detail and provides high-quality training.
In addition to Wing Chun skills, Havant Wing Chun also places a strong emphasis on self-defence. The club acknowledges that self-protection is often misunderstood in the martial arts community. Instead of just learning to fight, Havant Wing Chun believes that the main goal of self-defence is to understand how to avoid violence. The club's training includes a focus on reality-based self-protection, which means learning the correct methods to survive a violent encounter.
The instructors at Havant Wing Chun have sought out the best reality-based self-defence and combatives coaches in the country to provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge. The club emphasises that self-defence has little to do with martial arts or fighting itself. Instead, it centres on avoidance and prioritises the safety of oneself and loved ones.
