I think it is a pretty good description of what Wing Chun actually is.

:: Wing Chun Is Not a Style, It's a Framework ::
When you understand Wing Chun the way I do... and I'm talking 31 years of training and teaching, thousands of hours on both sides, as student and as sifu... you begin to realize something that most people, even lifelong martial artists, completely miss.
Wing Chun is not a style of martial arts.
It is an entirely different framework for approaching martial arts altogether. A different operating system. Most styles are collections of techniques — a catalog of moves to be memorized and deployed. Wing Chun, at its deepest level, is something else. It is a set of principles, concepts, and methodologies designed to teach you how to think about combat, how to feel your way through it, how to respond to what is actually happening rather than what you expected to happen.
And here is where it gets interesting — and where most people's understanding falls short.
What Wing Chun actually offers is a path that leads, eventually, to freedom from styles, techniques, and patterns entirely. It was never designed to be rigid or ceremonial. The forms, the drills, the techniques — they are not the destination. They are the vehicle. Wing Chun was always meant to be adaptive, individual, responsive — an expression of your own unique body, your own mind, your own reflexes and strengths. You learn the techniques not to be imprisoned by them forever, but to eventually transcend them. To reach a place where the technique happens through you without you consciously calling it forth.
This is the paradox at the heart of Wing Chun, and honestly, at the heart of all genuine mastery: the path to freedom runs directly through structure. You cannot skip the structure and find the freedom waiting on the other side. The structure is the path. There is no other road.

Si-Fu Dom Békés is based in Whitstable Kent U.K. and trained directly with and certified by Grandmaster William Cheung, notably hosting him, for private one to one, in-home training, during Cheung’s world tours in the 1990’s. It was during this time Békés was trusted to film and produce a number of Cheung’s instructional videos. As well as holding a “Provisional Master” certification from Cheung during that time.

Chi Sau is an integral part of the Wing Chun system. It's purpose is to develop close contact reflexes.
So we got Steve to go up against some of the gang during the Saturday session.
But to make things interesting Big Nige and I blindfolded him.
