Why The Best Wing Chun Has No Limitations

Wing Chun is not about dead patterns or preserving history.

- Adam Williss

I KNOW YOU feel it. You feel it because you’re not like them. Unlike them, you know there’s more. Everything tells you this entire thing is meant to be more. Every drill, every practice, and every situation you’ve been in and every concept has led you here.

This is Wing Chun. The art that means so many different things to so many different people. And still, although its full definition will always remain elusive, it makes no apologies for being different… for being the round peg in the square hole… for attracting the rebels and those who see things differently.

While the conformists and small-minded label this art as traditional or classical, we see Wing Chun as anything but classical. Whether traditionalists or contemporary martial artists are placing these labels upon us, is irrelevant. The result remains the same. We aren’t fond of being bound by labels. To us, labels are just other people’s ideas placed upon us to divide us, to hold us back and deny all that Wing Chun was meant to be and what it can achieve within us.

Now make no mistake. The issue isn’t with tradition itself. In fact, tradition has no limitations. Tradition makes us stronger and gives us a foundation on which to build. This is why it must always be valued, respected and appreciated. But tradition which holds us back? That is the issue.

The reality is it isn’t a lack of respect in tradition that is killing Wing Chun—it is a lack of trust in natural evolution.
