GETTING THE MOST FROM THIS BOOK

To get the most out of this book, you should practice the exercises regularly. A training schedule is included in the book bonuses; I recommend that you follow it.

Practice all the exercises slowly to begin with. Get the techniques right and learn to understand the static movements first, then build your speed and power. Practice all exercises on both sides of your body.

All the lessons in this book focus purely on the adaptation of Wing Chun. It is advised that you also have a physical fitness regime. See www.SurvivalFitnessPlan.com for detailed coverage of physical fitness training.

One of the big differences between this and other Wing Chun training books is that this book shows how to adapt Wing Chun lessons to a modern street fight. In a real fight, you won’t be up against another Wing Chun practitioner. When you’re training, it’s important that your training partner doesn’t attack you like a Wing Chun fighter. Most people will fight like boxers/Muay Thai fighters, so many of the exercises are adapted to defending against common attacks in those styles.

In a real street fight, you probably won’t have the chance to get into your Wing Chun stance, and even if you do, it’s not advisable. You do not want to let your opponent know what you’re going to do. Instead, move freely and naturally, not rigidly. Once you’re in Wing Chun fighting range you can use the appropriate principles and techniques.

Keep an open mind and adapt what you learn in a way that works for you. There are no restrictions, and you don’t know how your opponent is going to react. The exercises are merely examples of what could be done. Since this book adapts Wing Chun to modern street fighting, many of the exercises included may not be considered traditional, or may be known by different names.

When training, do things properly. Put feeling and movement into the techniques. If your execution is sloppy and weak when you train, that’s how it will be in reality. If you do the exercises properly, it will ingrain the correct muscle memory so that you’ll still be able to react properly in times of stress. You’ll hit your opponent correctly and apply pressure in the right places. Your body will have the correct posture and placement, and you’ll instinctively know where your opponent is.

Although you train for reality, it’s still training. There will be many times when you’re practicing with your partner that you may think, But I can just hit him/her here or I could easily block that. These things may be true, and it’s good to think of them, but you are learning. Give each other the time to learn. Understand the principles and do the exercises properly. You can express yourself fully during free sparring.

Use training equipment. You want to be able to train hard, but you do not want to get injured. The only way to do this is to use proper training equipment, such as pads and sparring equipment.

Even when using training equipment, you will still feel pain sometimes. It’s good to be conditioned to pain. In a real fight you will feel pain, and your body will react differently when it does so. It’s useful to be aware of that. Start gently and gradually increase force to build your pain tolerance.

LESSON 1: THE HALF SQUAT

This shoulder-width half squat will help you build the leg muscles needed for many of the following exercises.

It’s important to build strength in this way, as it will help with balance, footwork, stepping, turning, and many other things.

Stand straight with your feet together and your hands by your sides, then bend your knees slightly and turn your heels out.

WC 1.1 The Half Squat_1

Plant your heels down and turn your toes out, then plant your toes and turn your heels out. Make fists and bring them in under your chest, on either side of your torso.

WC 1.2 The Half Squat

Remember these five steps to get to this position. This will be referred to as the half squat position, and is the starting point for some exercises.

While in this position, drop your knees down and then come back up. This is one squat.

WC 1.3 The Half Squat

Your knees should never fully straighten.

Exercise 1: The Half Squat

Do as many half squats as you can in a given period.

LESSON 2: FIGHTING STANCE

In a real fight, you probably won’t adopt this exact fighting stance, but it’s good for facilitating the correct application of techniques when you’re learning, and is often used as a starting position for upcoming exercises.

Lead and Rear Sides

Whichever leg and hand are forward-most are your leads. Whichever leg and hand are to the back is your rear.

In actual combat, your strongest side will preferably be your lead, but you should always train on both sides.

Adopting the Fighting Stance

Start in the half squat. While keeping your feet in the same spot, turn on them so that
