Mindful Wing Chun is one of the biggest Wing Chun school in HK and is located in the Heart of Central. Our mission is to pass on Grandmaster CHU SHONG TIN's 'internal' method of Wing Chun which promotes health through cultivating MINDFULNESS and Deep RELAXATION resulting in a BALANCED Body and Mind.
Chu Shong Tin was one of the first students of Ip Man in Hong Kong. Within a few years of training with Ip Man, he became one of the most Snr and the leading teachers in Ip Mans school as was coined the title 'The King Of Siu Nim Tao' by Ip Man. He taught Wing Chun Full-time for over 60years before he passed away in 2014.
Nima King, our head-instructor, was training under Chu Shong Tin every night from 5pm to 11pm. He continued practicing under him for 9 years until he passed away. Our Instructors have over 50yrs of combined experience and have dedicated their life to practicing and teaching this life-changing internal art of Kung Fu!
Please never stop training this art. It has saved me in so many tight situations in the streets. It is not meant as a sparring art, so many say it does not work. But it truly does work in the streets.❤
This is the pre requisite before going any further. One of the differences of CST compared to so many other lineages. Even though everyone in the world today learned from someone whom learned from someone whom learned from one man in the 50's there's so many interpretations and not many have this focus. CST is the leader in this it seems. With the hip rotation, the spine elongation, the relaxation and aim to a focus point all making up the Nim Lik state. The Wing chun shapes work. The straight line, simultaneous attack/defence, moving with and attacking the centre of mass. The tactics work. But without the stance aspects they are just shapes. Good shapes but just shapes. This is what ties it all together. I wonder how Ip taught for their to have had so many different interpretations arise. Chinese Whispers so to speak. I think that there's been a fair bit of ego involved too. I mean. The first ever exposure I got to WC was William Cheung Self proclaimed Grandmaster. It wasn't for a while that I realized how full of shit he was. Damaged WC's rep in fact. Speaking of which. The health aspects that come from the stance practice have been things I've passed on to my family members and others who don't even fight. I've also passed it onto athletes as well to help them move more freely. Everything works better with the stance and Nim Lik. Thank you and your demonstration was well described. I stand for 2 hours a day every day. Only 1 month until Frederick comes. He'll see who's earned it and who hasn't been practicing 🙂
I was lucky enough to feel Nima doing something similar on me a few months ago, so those skills are very real and stunning. For me it‘s one of the best motivations to keep a disciplined practice - to be able to do something like that in the future 🤙
I was always very skeptical, but doing Wing Chun from other lineage in my city I could see how minimal changes in the body could yield very different results. After several years of practice of the right movements and the right state of the body, I'm now certain it's possible to produce videos that look like bs but are actually real.
The practice of cultivating the internal world, a Shaolin tradition, from where our style originates, and several other martial arts, has been lost in the modern world, focused primarily on quick and punctual solutions, and commerce. I see that GM CST, Nima and a few masters seek to rescue this tradition, and end up being seen as scammers. Own experience, this is real, go and see for yourself.
Definitely real, although wing chun didn't actually originate from the Shaolin but in the wudang mountains, then was brought to the Shaolin in the 1600s. Where they then made the crane styles from wing chun+ their more hard style martial arts.
The difference in power generation in your videos and especially those of CST is so obvious for me now, that it boggles my mind people can't see the difference. Mindful Wing Chun is spreading around the world, happy to be a part of it.🙏🙏🙏
I was a nonbeliver and went to a seminar with Nima. We touched hands and I was mindblowing. I trained with severel sifus, in several lineages, never felt this intense with minimum efford.
Thanks for offering a nice peek into your Program for free 🌸! Helps a lot, so when people ask where I learned this I can give them this link for free trial🙏. I had some exchanges with other stiles and all of them went really nice. They actually ask for a insight like that, so thx. I've searched for around two decades for a decent teacher. For all of you feeling the same, that they miss out on something, try this here. Best experience of my life after marriage 😜. It was also hard for me in the beginning to think that all of that could be true. But Nima is very open about it, so he lets you test his state and everything when you're for example at one of his seminars, or visit him in Hongkong.
For anyone who’s doesn’t believe go to Hong Kong you will come back a believer, I did. It’s all very real I’m 6’1” and 189 pound and got throw around by Nima like a paper doll.
Just watch his footwork! It's different in the two examples in the first he steps off balanced at just right at the point of contact and the second he hits the contact point w momentum going forward , but that being said the shit works if you correctly administer the style ! Good shit man
When u feel it first hand I think you change your mind. It looks effortless but it is super powerful. It uses internal mechanics. Actually v scientific. Watch some of his other videos and see what u think after a while
Honestly wondering, does the device ur using mention spelling with a red line or, since ur unsure about spelling can you voice text the word so it typed it for you correctly? Or as ur phone with ur voice? I'm only wondering cuz I'm able to talk to people across the world in RU-vid comments without worrying about spelling or language barrier
@user-br5nu8gi1s yes, remarkable age. Now he is in a wheelchair with Parkinsons, but I remember seeing Ip Chun walking around all the time and catching the train when he was in his early 90s. And he's been a pipe smoker for many decades too. So very healthy until his old age
There is often talk in martial arts circles about styles that harness the so-called internal force, with a clear distinction drawn between external and internal martial arts. But what does this really mean? In my humble opinion, there is no internal or external. Ultimately, it’s all about how you align and structure your body, and how you utilize your tissues and muscles. The human body contains anywhere between 600 and 840 muscles, depending on how they're counted. Are we consciously engaging all of them, or just a select few? Then there's the concept of "Chi" (or "Qi"), a vital energy that, according to Eastern traditions, animates the body. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), qi is divided into two main aspects: the tangible, physical qi derived from air, water, and food, and the more elusive, energetic qi that flows through the body’s channels. This latter form of qi is often cited as the source of internal power. From my perspective, the true essence of internal and/or external (that are the same) force lies in how efficiently we use our body’s energy-whether it’s the energy generated by muscles, tendons, or other bodily structures. The distinction isn’t so much between internal or external, but rather about how effectively we harness our body’s inherent energy. It’s all about mastering your body’s structure and utilizing this energy to execute movements with maximum efficiency.
Damn it's so crazy you look at his back and the way he holds his head you can see the age and degradation. But then his limbs move with so much speed and fluidity. You can still see the power that was once there.
@rajvinderjohal2863 Hi Raj, at the moment the only seminar I do in Europe is in Munich every year. With 2 young kids and a business to run I don't have much more time at the moment. Germany is a beautiful place in April/May which is when I usually do it
