The 3 Parts of a WT
Class
1) Forms
"Forms" teach the fundamentals and basic movements which are
used in combinations for self-defense purposes. In WingTsun™,
forms provide targeted muscle relaxation, meditation and
flexibility.

2) Chi Sao
(sticking hands)
WingTsun™ is the only martial art that features the unique
exercise of tactile reflexes which are determined by the sense
of touch. Chi Sao defense reflexes are elicited in a very
immediate and mechanical way by the attack of the opponent. Thus
they are always exactly tailored and appropriate to the
situation. Chi Sao reflexes are far quicker than reacting to
visual input and they also allow for the WT-fighter to defend
him/herself blindly. Chi Sao is the glue that integrates a
number of single movements into coherent combinations that are
not preconceived yet proof to meet the needs of the given
situation. Without Chi Sao WingTsun™ would only consist of an
accumulation of single technical bits or dead movement-patterns.
This makes Chi Sao is the very soul of WingTsun™!

3) Lat Sao
(sparring exercises)
The goal of WingTsun™ is to develop fighting ability . In Lat
Sao ( which means "free style fight" ) the WT-student learns to
fearlessly confront a one-on-one fight. He can check on the
level of his work without fear of injuring his partner which
makes Lat Sao a most significant and motivating part of WT.
