The North American Wing Chun Association. Ying Gi Ga Wing Chun Kung Fu. Each fighting principle can also be interpreted philosophically. Ying Gi Ga Wing Chun

DEAR VISITOR

In Ying Gi Ga Wing Chun, we recognize that Wing Chun was created as and should be instructed as a combat art. We recognize as well that the practitioners of Wing Chun will hopefully spend only a small fraction of a percent of time in their lives fighting. It is important, therefore, to be able to use the same concepts and principles used in fighting to better other non-combat areas o

f your life. We believe that the practice of Wing Chun, and an understanding of its principles and philosophies, should be a catalyst to putting each practitioner in the driver’s seat of his or her life. The development of great fighting abilities should give each of us the ability to be kind, compassionate, and loving by overcoming the fears that often manifest themselves as anger and hate. The truly competent warrior is not boastful. The truly secure person is free from the need to impress others with his or her physical prowess and free from the need to have the approval of others. He or she can be understanding, acceptant, and kind without the fear of being thought weak for his or her kindness. The reason for the philosophy portion of our homepage is to help each of you tap into the inner power that you all have and to help you to take control of and responsibility for your own life. It is designed to help you recognize how much more powerful positive energy and accomplishing goals of a positive nature is, as opposed to negative thought and deed. Our worst enemy is often ourselves. Look inside of yourself and overcome your demons of fear and insecurity and you will find a path to a happier life. No matter how many people you can beat in battle, you will find no lasting happiness in bringing harm to others. Competent fighting skills are important but should be used to protect yourself or those you love in times of danger. You must choose your battles wisely. Your fighting skills should be a catalyst to enlightenment. By helping you to gain strength of character and confidence, your skills should give you peace of mind, therefore eliminating insecurity and giving you the capacity to be at peace and in harmony with others. I hope you enjoy and benefit from our web page. It is my hope that it will help you on the most important battlefield… Life !!! Sincerely,

Grandmaster Philip Holder, PhD.

Thought for the Day: Honest Research

Too often, research starts with a desire to validate an opinion already held by the research sponsors and conducted with the goal of justifying a predetermined and desired outcome. It is a conclusion looking for a reason to exist. It is a fools search for information that supports the viewpoint of those sponsoring the research concluding with nothing of particular value to anyone other than the sponsors. Honest research starts with no presumed bias to a particular outcome. It simply follows the information wherever it leads, whether or not it supports the researcher’s views.

Thought for the Day:

When I was a child there was a saying: “Sticks and stones can break your bones but names will never hurt you.” It seems people today seek out reasons to be easily offended.

You can always find someone who will be offended by just about anything someone else says. Anyone thinking that they can go through life without ever being offended is living in a delusion. Creating a world where no one is ever offended would require that everyone, think, feel and experience, in exactly the same way, or… everyone could simply swear off speaking. The truth is, it is our differences that help us learn, grow and become stronger.

If you aspire to be a martial arts instructor, do you know who actually holds the ultimate authority to make you an official Sifu (or whatever equivalent title is used in non-Chinese styles)? Admittedly, there are lots of people who can award you a certificate and you’ll be pleased to know…
