Wing Chun Curriculum

Curriculum

Most Sifus teach different levels in the same class and often don’t know what they’ll be teaching before they hit the Kwoon floor.  They embrace a circular method of teaching that leaves the students confused and with too much time trying to catch their fellow students up while the Sifu sorts out the other students.   

The WCWC Solution: 

Sifu Talbot uses a Wing Chun Maxim as a guide on how to effectively teach Wing Chun: “Circle and Straight go together. “

 
Linear Path to Learn

Sifu Talbot has created a linear curriculum with over 110 classes and more than 250 hours of training – not counting the Wing Chun Dummy and Weapons. 

Every time our students come to class, the instructor knows which class he is teaching.  Everyone in the class, regardless of skill level, has the fundamental tools to be able to apply and execute those lessons.  This means everyone can focus on the same thing: the lessons of the day. 

 

Circular Path to Reinforce

Each level of our program follows that linear path, then begins again, repeating itself, so the student can fine tune his technique after he has completed the first cycle.  This reinforces the muscle memory and the understanding of Principles and Concepts.

Students test physically on a per class basis when they feel they are ready.  So, everyone learns at their own pace.
