Is it necessary to have any wing chun or for that case, any martial arts experience?
I actually believe that its better not to have any experience at all. Those who started of with a fresh start have usually advanced the quickest. The problem with those who’ve taken Martial Arts or Wing Chun, is that they try to fuse or mix and match their old concepts with our Wing Chun, and in the end I have yet to see that work. While there maybe similarities in theory, the actual application and development in the end are totally different in how we approach things. My main suggestion, is come to class with an open mind, be able to suck up your ego (which many people find hard to do) if you’ve taken something before, and if you can do both of that you’ll progress much faster.
