Wing chun training enables you to keep your self defence skills greatly enhanced  it also allows for a greater level of health fitness and flexibility.  Your wing chun training enhances your focus, strengthening your joints, sinews wrists, knees and hips.  Indeed depending on what stage you are in your wing chun training or whatever your age, wing chun can train your body and be conditioned for greater vitality. It has many complementary features of tai chi and it has elegant movements that don’t emphasise hard physical stress on the joints. 

Indeed I remember when I first started there where a couple of veteran amateur boxers who started wing chun kung fu training not long after me.  They where a lot more experienced fighters than me, as they had spent 20 plus years in the boxing ring, and where a mountain of knowledge. They said they were tired of fighting and training with sore joints and tired of getting black eyes after a regular sparring sessions.  Imagine having to go into to work the next day with a black eye…and that this was happening regularly because you are a dedicated trainer.  This would indeed be a concern. 

 This is the opposite in your kung fu training. As you get older your wing chun training will actually help your body become more supple and relaxed. You will not be doing hard exercises that put stress on the joints or any hard impact. 

Wing chun training has a strong element of Chi Kung, the Chinese martial art of inner energy.  This can be derived by the internal meditative chi kung of the Sil Lim Tao form, to the hard Chi Kung postures that help you with strengthening your legs improving your stance and form.  These combinations are complementary and you will learn that through your wing chun training that you will develop a greater level vitality and actually your level of proficiency will improve remarkably as you will not feel the soreness from high impact exercises. Believe me your joints will love you for it.
