Wing Chun Applications: From the School to the Street Book by Jason Korol
If this past year has taught us anything it’s that life is unpredictable - even dangerous. Violence has been widespread and it hasn’t been a game. There are no referees or rules. No help when you need it. We’ve seen it. It’s sudden. It’s ugly and sometimes we simply can't avoid it. For this reality we need a self-defense method that gets the job done. We don't need something that's great in the school, on the mats, or in the ring, where the rules are. We need a method that gets it right when the chaos hits and gives us the means to defend ourselves against a threat that's unavoidable. In short, we need Wing Chun. If you're not a Wing Chun student, this book will make you one. If you are, you need to see the realism of the applications. There's nothing fancy, just brutal and non-contradictory self-defense for the modern world.
A self-defense method needs to work in the environment you’ll need it in, right? It needs to work in between cars in a parking lot, in a cluttered room, a hallway, a sidewalk, or your home. It can’t be limited by rules or the assumption of them either. So, if that’s your goal - self-defense - this is the book you need. You don’t care about winning a medal or a trophy. You’re just interested in protecting your life and family from the chaos that isn’t contained by the rules. You know the stakes and this book delivers the goods. It unlocks the system of Wing Chun like you've never seen it before. It shows Wing Chun as it truly is - a brilliant and simple means of stopping cold the threats you'll really face in life. Best-selling self-defense author and one of the world's leading Wing Chun experts, Jason Korol, takes you on a tour like none other. With his characteristic insight and humor, he teaches you what to do on the street, not the school. With carefully explained and detailed photos, he walks you through Wing Chun's logical and simple answers to the attacks you'll face in reality.
Sun Tzu taught that to be victorious you must know your enemy. You aren’t fighting your classmates or sparring partners! (If you are, you need a new school, right?). In this book Sifu Jason teaches you what to do against the attacks favored by violent attackers.
- common punches like the overhand, the cross and wild haymakers
- Rushes & grabs
- Takedown attempts
- Kicks (which aren’t so common but just in case, right?)
Not only that but you’ll also learn:
- How to know when violence is imminent
- The critical difference between a debate and a conflict that might lead to violence
- Critical MISTAKES to avoid before a fight starts
- How to systematically attack & defend simultaneously
- How to exploit the mistakes attackers can’t help but make
- The true roots of violence (something every martial artist should know well)
- How and why modern martial arts are absolutely wrong about close-range tactics and grappling
- How to most efficiently and safely train for application skill
This is Wing Chun as it should and ought to be…logical, straight to the point and unleashed from erroneous traditionalist interpretations. And it’s definitely what every serious self-defender needs as their empty-hand method. You don't need to do a variety of methods to be prepared. For real-world self-defense, you need Wing Chun.
