Wing Chun - by George Swift (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Self-defense is much more complex than sport combat. In real-world violence we don't know when and where, nor against whom we'll be forced to fight. Is it just one opponent? Is someone trying to break into your house? Are you in a parking lot, surrounded by a multitude of hard and unforgiving objects? Are you alone or with your family? You see, self-defense isn't going to happen in a way you can predict and will, by definition, happen suddenly at a time of the aggressor's choosing. For this reason we need a martial art system that provides the critical reflexes, muscle memory and tactical knowledge to adapt without our offense sacrificing our defense and vice-versa.
