Question 1

What are the Beginners introductory sessions for?

Accepted Answer

They are for people interested in our Wing Chun, but not sure if this will suit them. Some martial arts schools will lock students in with a long contract on their first session. However, this is not how we operate. We believe if you like our Wing Chun, you will come back.  Please remember that every lineage trains differently for those who have done Wing Chun from other lineages. The two sessions will let you experience the Practical Wing Chun system. Participants will get a basic understanding of our theories, how we train at our school, and how to progress in the Practical Wing Chun system to become certified.  It is a privilege to learn Wan Kam Leung Practical Wing Chun under the Family tree of Wong Shun Leung’s lineage. We are proud of our system, but at the same time, we respect other martial arts, and everyone is humble at our school.  If you know what you want and wish to sign up directly, you are welcome to contact us directly.

Question 2

Who should NOT be coming to our class ?

Accepted Answer

1. There are three types of people who are unworthy to be taught: people who think of themselves as infallible and mistreat others by inappropriate use of their strengths  people who lack reverence for teachers and their teachings and show no courtesy to the others people who don't have loyalty, respect for elders, mercy, or righteousness.  2. If you are currently training with another school, stay loyal to your Sifu. If you have questions about Wing Chun, you should always seek answers from your Sifu first. If you decide to switch schools, you are welcome to try our trial class and see if it suits you.   3. If you are not from an associated branch of WKL Practical Wing Chun. You will most likely be asked to start from the basics again. Your martial art experience from the past will help accelerate your learning, but you will be expected to re-do the empty hand forms. If this does not suit you, we advise you not to come and search for a similar lineage in your area.   4. If you have a big ego and wish to prove that your martial arts system is better, this school does not suit you. Wing Chun is a self-defence system. It is about protecting yourself and the people you care about harmoniously. We have no place for bullies here.   5. People who are impolite and have no manners are not welcome at our school.   6. People who are rude to my assistant instructors. My instructors represent me.

Question 3

I am a shift worker, which class would suit me ?

Accepted Answer

Question 4

Question 6

Do you do casual training?

Accepted Answer

No. We are not a combat sports club. Repetition is required for muscle memory for Wing Chun training.  We have created a Bronze package for once a week training with plenty of "Open Classes" for those who are time-poor. We now have morning & late night classes for shift workers. Please refer to our timetable. We have released our Online training group program for those who work away.   Do not join the school if you cannot commit to at least one session per week. Please save your money & time or join our seminars/workshops for Non-Wing Chun background when you have more time.

Question 7

Can I come in and watch?

Accepted Answer

Adult:  Unfortunately, we do not offer non-members to sit & watch anymore. Also, Covid has changed things a bit at our school. We now run a Covid-Safe plan, and we will need to record full details of everyone who enters the club. It is easier to book a trial class, so we have enough instructors to handle the additional paperwork.  Children: As mentioned above. However, young children are usually a bit shy. Parents are welcome to come and watch the class outside of the school. (Covid Safe) 
 Wing Chun is a close-range combat system. Techniques are repetition training for muscle memory. It is not as exciting to watch compared to combating sports. Therefore, we highly recommend trying out introductory classes to experience the training and vibe of the school physically. Interestingly, 80% of the people who attended the introductory beginner’s class enrolled with us.

Question 8

Do I need to make a booking before I come in?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Booking is necessary.   We do not accept new students while Sifu is away. In addition, with our current Covid Safe plan, we will have to record information about everyone entering the club.

To sign up, please click the "BOOK TRIAL" icon above. It will take you to the booking page.  Pick a date and the location of the branch. Follow the online signup procedures and pay for the two trial classes. There is no obligation to join after the two sessions. Take the time to enjoy the training and see if Wing Chun is suitable for you or not.

Question 11

How many times a week do I need to train Wing Chun to be able to flow?

Accepted Answer

It comes down to individuals. We recommend a minimum of two times per week to flow and move as we do. We have created the bronze monthly plan for once a week training for those who are time-poor. It will take double the effort and time, but still possible, providing you train at home during your spare time.

Question 13

Why train with Sifu Jack Leung – Practical Wing Chun ?

Accepted Answer

Sifu Jack Leung is dedicated and practical with his Wing Chun. Sifu Leung started training with Grand Master Wan Kam Leung in 1996 and still travels to Hong Kong for training under his Sifu every three months.  He has trained in a few martial arts, including Judo, Karate, Southern Preying Mantis Tong Long and Muay Thai. With great sparring and real-life combat experience from the streets, Sifu Leung keeps his Wing Chun real with a no-nonsense approach.  Sifu Leung is also the only Wing Chun Sifu in Queensland who is Chinese and speaks English, Cantonese and Mandarin fluently. Language plays a vital role in Chinese Kung fu as many techniques, angles, conditioning and training methods are passed down generations through language and demonstrations. Understanding the language and explaining in plain simple English will benefit Australian students further in their training by closing the language barrier.  He is also a certified Personal Trainer and introduces a lot of modern days physical fitness into traditional Kung fu training. He actively trains every day. Sifu Leung believes fitness is what many Chinese Kung fu martial artists lack. Many instructors live in their past; they stop their training and only teach. Sifu Leung believes there is always room for self-improvement. His motivation keeps him and his team of instructors moving forward.  Sifu Jack Leung is also humble; he respects his Sifu, loves his family, treats his friends and Kung fu brothers with respect and looks after his students. Wing Chun is all about harmony. Ying and Yang (Hard/Soft), balanced energy. No aggressiveness. It is not a combat sport but a self-defence system. Once we can look after ourselves and our family, we can extend this positive energy to those who may need our help.   Wing Chun is the only modern active system out of 300+ Chinese Kung fu types created by a woman. In terms of physical strength, most women are not as strong as men. In Wing Chun, we acknowledge that people who attack us are usually bigger, armed with a weapon, or we may even be outnumbered. So we train our disadvantages into an advantage, diverting powers and execution at the right angle and timing to make our Wing Chun work well when we need it to.  Some martial art systems will turn you into an aggressive person. On the opposite end, Wing Chun will help you stay humble and appreciate harmony. Sifu Jack Leung wishes to pass on this positive attitude towards life to his students.

Question 14

Who can learn Practical Wing Chun ?

Accepted Answer

Practical Wing Chun is a highly effective and direct self-defence system. The system does not pit force against force, nor does it require extreme body flexibility or stamina, so it is suitable for most ages, genders, races and weight groups.   We run the biggest group of female Wing Chun practitioners in Australia. Everyone humble and willing to learn is welcome.

Question 15

Who trains at Practical Wing Chun ?

Accepted Answer

In short, positive people and friendly people.  Sifu Leung trains people from all walks of life, including university and high school students, law enforcement officers, security guards, bouncers, doctors, accountants, engineers, IT specialists, bus drivers, chefs, architects and people from all trades. Sifu Leung believes it is not who you are but what you do that defines you.

Question 16

What is the difference between lineages ?

Accepted Answer

Every individual is different. Some people like to listen to pop music while others like classical. This applies to Wing Chun lineage. Some lineage’s perspective treats Wing Chun as a physical sport that will help build their physical fitness. Although we do not disagree with this perspective and agree that Wing Chun can contribute to our health, we believe Wing Chun is a close-range combat system, and we like to keep it real as self-defence.  We train under the guidance of Grand Master Wan Kam Leung – the only martial art instructor for the VIP G4 protection unit with the Royal Hong Kong Police. The system has been modified to keep it real. Health and fitness are bonus.
