Is It Ever To Late To Learn Wing Chun Training

A lot of people  I meet interested in wing chun training or any  martial arts or even on taking a class.  However the number one thing that holds them back is that they think its too late, they say to themselves “I’m too old, I don’t want to make a fool of myself etc….

This is quite common and one of the reasons that hold people back from learning or expanding into the martial arts.  I remember when I first started I was 22 and though I was tool old to learn My instructor was in his 40’s and I thought he had spent his entire life from perfecting the art—he was that good.  It was only until later that I found out that after spending many years of doing various martial arts it was only when he was in his early thirties that he started wing chun and devoted all his training around the art.

Soon he was training full time and dedicated his life to becoming an instructor and delve even deeper to become a very knowledgeable practitioner of Chinese medicine. All beginning with the basics of wing chun training

Looking back and I remember the classes had a wide range of ages. From guys in their late teems/early 20’s to guys in their 30’s 40’s even 50’s just starting out, trying to figure out the wing chun dummy.  (This frustrates those of all ages).

I suppose the beauty of wing chun is that it does not require any special skill prowess.You dont have to be flexible to do the splits – execute flying kicks..it is very much a grounded art-literaly.  The techniques are very low impact and easy to learn.  If anything wing Chun training will help your flexibility, helps with weight loss and improve confidence.Alot of people start wing chun for fitness. They see it as a way to have fun and get fit..and it is.
