About Siu Lam Wing Chun


Wing Chun Kung Fu is a Shaolin Martial Art studied by Ip Man then taught to Bruce Lee and is used by special forces around the world due to its modern day effectiveness.

Siu Lam Wing Chun uses flowing body mechanics to generate force so whatever your size or strength this style of Martial Arts is extremely efficient and effective

The Siu Lam Wing Chun Organisation instructs and demonstrates Ip Man Wing Chun Kung Fu, traditional Shaolin Qi Gong, Fa-Jing and Chin Na in Fulmer, Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire and Reigate, Redhill, Surrey. The organisation provides a structured syllabus designed for any student to fully learn and understand all of the Martial Art in great depth. The founders of The Siu Lam Wing Chun Organisation train diligently on a daily basis and strongly believe that if one does not train to a high standard the quality of instruction will reflect this.

Wing Chun Kung Fu originates from the Shaolin Temple in Southern China. Wing Chun has spread all over the world at a dramatic pace, as such some traditional Shaolin practices such as Qi Gong, Fa-Jing and Chin Na are no longer taught.

Shifu Matt and Shifu Dean the founders of The Siu Lam Wing Chun Organisation have been practising Wing Chun Kung Fu and other Martial Arts for over 35 Years.

The Organisation aims to direct Wing Chun Kung Fu back to its historic roots by incorporating traditional practices of Shaolin Qi Gong, Fa-Jing and Chin Na.

Elements of Wing Chun


Siu Nim Tao    

The form which initially appears to be basic at first constantly evolves and holds key elements to the effective and direct nature of Wing Chun Kung Fu. From Foundation Grade 4 the Siu Nim Tao begins to unfold and show its true meaning. Hand position, structure, Qi Gong and advanced body mechanics are just a few things learnt here.

Chum Kiu    

Once a good understanding of the Siu Nim Tao form has been achieved practitioners will move into learning this form. The focus here is to build on all the learnings from Siu Nim Tao and begin incorporating dispersing Qi through absorbing a stronger force through footwork and correct body movement then using gained energy to attack. Basic kicking techniques are introduced in this form.

Biu Tze    

The most advanced Wing Chun empty hand form. Only those who have grasped a good understanding of dispersing force will truly understand what taught here. Biu Tze incorporates devastating elbows and throat striking techniques. In this form a practitioner develops the skill to attack through force instead of yielding. If a practitioner has not fully grasped the previous forms their Wing Chun will not develop much further from this point and begin to look very ridged losing the ideas taught previously.

Chi Sao

Chi Sao or Energy Arms” is a term for the drills used for the development of automatic reflexes upon contact, Chi Sau is also known as “sensitivity training”. This training method is not designed for sparring but to enhance your reactions and adaptation to an opponent’s attacks.

Chi Gerk

Chi Gerk or “Energy Legs,” is the lower-body equivalent Chi Sao training. Chi Gerk is aimed on developing awareness of the lower gate and increasing flexibility of the legs.

Saam Sing Chong    

A form practiced against three wooden stakes shaped into a triangle which are secured in the ground. The Three Star Dummy form focuses on combining kicks, hand techniques and footwork in rapid succession. Many practitioners are unaware this form exists.

Muk Yan Chong    

This form is performed against a wooden post with three arms and a leg. The Wooden Dummy represents a solid human opponent, practicing this form aims to refine a practitioner’s understanding of angles, positions, and footwork. The Muk Yan Chong Form teaches the practitioner new type of energy not seen in previously forms learnt.

Weapons

When a practitioner grasps the empty hand Wing Chun system they go on to learn the Luk Dim Book Kwan and Baat Cham Dao Forms. Just a handful of Wing Chun practitioners know the Ip Man version of these Forms.

Qi Gong    

Qi Gong is an ancient art, which literally means “energy work”. It is said that Shaolin Qi Gong originated from the historical and legendary figure of Bodhi dharma said to be the first Zen patriarch.

The Schools of The Siu Lam Wing Chun Organisation initially teach the Eight Pieces of Brocade (Ba Duan Jin) which consist of a series of movements designed to improve health, increase energy and strengthen the body overall at Technician level students are taught additional more advanced Qi Gong forms.

The Siu Lam Wing Chun Organisation strongly believe by teaching Qi Gong practitioners become more proficient Martial Artists.

Fa-Jing

Some Martial Arts including combative Taijiquan to develop explosive force by channeling internal energy from the Dan Tien to the hands or any other part of the body. Dan Tien is loosely translated as the “energy center” which is the essential focal point for meditation and Qi Gong practice.

By including traditional Fa-Jing exercises within the advanced stages of our syllabus our students become more effective Kung Fu practitioners in combat by utilising this explosive force.

Chin Na

Chin Na is the process of seizing and controlling your opponent. Wing Chun Kung Fu naturally incorporates Chin Na techniques within the system however The Siu Lam Wing Chun Organisation have invested vast time learning other forms of Shaolin Chin Na and have dedicated one of the intermediate grades purely to Shaolin Chin Na techniques.
