Hello dear martial artists I have great respect to you all!

THE QUESTION: Is there any good YouTube videos you’d recommend for a beginner to start practising Wing Chun? For example different punches and kicks

About me: I’m 27 yo male, always interested in martial arts but due to my generalized anxiety disorder and depression I havent been able to start learning any martial art style.

Training background: I’ve been exercising 2-12 hours every day for over 5 years both weightlifting + cardio combined

Training is my passion and I’d love to learn as many different martial arts styles as possible and master them all eventually

Good regards, Hopeful guy

Was cutting some longer footage of one of our mini-seminars and thought this intro talk might be interesting for those looking in from the outside, at the training methods of Wing Chun. These seminar classes we run gives newer students a chance to look at what is to come but also gives other members of the school that don't do the Wing Chun, to get an idea of how we train and where they can get some exposure to where skills overlap.

There's nothing here's that really secret or mystical but if you haven't actually been taught this, you might not be exposed to some of the details.
All too often, when you see some random person posting questionable things on social media, a giveaway that they're making things up, especially on the dummy, is that the movements they perform, don't seem to portray any consistency of context.

What usually happens is that the make up sequences as if the arms are literally representing left arm and right arm sticking straight out of the dummy body.

The other giveaway is that whatever sequence they've made up doesn't deal with any of the actual skills the dummy is giving you the opportunity to practice. Instead, it's just random pointless "combos".

If you even only occasionally look at Facebook, you'll probably have an idea of who/what I'm talking about.

I’ve been training in Shotokan for a while, at a few different clubs over the years. We don’t have an online syllabus or any student portal, and I was wondering what other clubs do, or if some of you have clubs with student portal that let you see your progress, pay subscription bills and grading payments, some online social element and training/ learning etc?

Any of you guys have something like that, and if so, experience with it?

I can train close to me in Silver Lake, Echo Park, Elysian Park, and Elysian Valley. ( Los Angeles, CA )

Any lineage and levels.
Welcome Everyone.

Hi Reddit world!

I’m not on Reddit as much as I used to be, so bear with me lol.

So my wing chun journey started in 2016. I went to a local training school for three months, and fell in love with it. However, I was going through my own stuff and wasn’t a grounded adult as I am today. But I did do some of the very basic training I received at home over the years. Probably wasn’t very accurate, but I enjoyed it.

Now fast forward to May 2026, and I’ve signed up for online courses with Sifu Colin Ward on wingchunonline.

I must say, I’m very impressed with his program, and I genuinely enjoy watching the guy. His instruction is practical and easy to follow for me.

Here’s question number 1: Is his training program generally recommended?

Next, I’m not able to train with a partner, and I don’t have the time or money to go to a in-person school anymore. With that being said, question 2: what are some tips you’d give someone who’s training at home and doesn’t have a partner?

Now this is looking a bit more down the line, but I see in the training that eventually I’ll be trained using the wooden dummy. As a person who trains at home and without a partner, this tool seems very valuable. Question 3: Is it worth buying, if yes where should I buy it, and is there a somewhat good quality and affordable version anywhere?

I’m really glad I found out about this sub Reddit because I often have questions and now I have a place to ask. Wingchunonline has a forum but I can’t really access it from my phone, and I haven’t used it on my laptop yet lol. So thank you to anyone willing to help me, and I hope you all enjoy and appreciate the training as much as I do!!!

Ps: bonus question: any tips on physical conditioning exercises I could use to supplement my training? I presently do planks, bar hangs, horse stances, body weight exercises, and light weight training.

The bag is filled with plastic beads and is relatively hard.

Lineage: Wong Shun Leung -> James Cheung -> Me

Chunfest will be on 10-12 July as a reminder ! Great cross lineage event that in its 12 year now (if I’ve counted right). Held in Coventry to try to be middle of the country! Camp the whole weekend or come for a day and train for the whole day ! No set schedule to the days it’s on.

Feel free to reach out if any questions
