· Kung Fu Wing Chun is a martial art form which develops the student’s sensitivity via the contact of the arms and hands.
· It is a supportive and safe process. Training unfolds in a progressive manner, starting with foundational skills and gradually introducing more advanced techniques.
· It requires very little space and is practiced in pairs facing each other.
· No special clothing is required (other than comfortable sportswear) or equipment.
· Students will learn drills and exercises that can be practiced easily at home between sessions.
Martial Attitude Training for visually impaired and blind people aims to give participants a better understanding of their own posture and body’s positioning in space and of how to receive, interpret and adapt when in physical contact with other people.
