Directness

View on YouTube

Wing Chun's principle of 'directness' teaches you to:

  • Take the shortest distance (i.e. a straight line) when attacking and defending; and
  • Simultaneously attack and defend wherever possible.

When Adrian's opponent pulls him into the knee strike, he uses the momentum to deliver a double Chit Sau strike to his abdomen while simultaneously deflecting the knee strike.

Adrian then simultaneously attacks and defends against his second opponent with a reverse Tan Sau and palm strike, which he follows up with a side slash to the throat.

Maximising your combat efficiency is essential, especially against multiple opponents.
