AWTA-Malta Realistic Self Defence - the school of WingTsun
WingTsun is designed to work in real self-defence situations – where rules of fairness does not exist. WingTsun is self-defence in its most efficient and consistent form. It is designed to work without advantages in strength or prior abilities – you will instead use the force of the attacker – against the attacker. The WingTsun system will prepare you for every phase of a fight. Whether the attacker is using feet, fists, elbows or knees you will be able to stop their attack. The WingTsun self-defence techniques are widely taught and practiced by international elite police and military.

The Authentic WingTsun
Benefits
While practicing one of the most effective and respected self-defense methods, you will also enhance a variety of fitness-related skills. These include the improvement of reflexes, motor skills, reaction time, overall conditioning, and general health. Additionally, techniques for breathing and relaxation are incorporated, promoting recovery and relaxation outside of training. Moreover, you will have the opportunity to connect with engaging and like-minded individuals during your training sessions.
Effective
The WT technique operates under the premise that an individual can effectively defend against an attack even when their range of motion is restricted. The most effective form of self-defense is one that neutralizes the majority of real threats with the least number of movements.
In WT, it is possible to perform up to three or even four actions concurrently, optimizing efficiency and response time.
Authentic Style
WingTsun is designed to work in real self-defence situations – where rules of fairness does not exist. That is why, in WT we derive from that the consequent importance of a training that is as full and complete as possible, and which acknowledges all of the “five distances” that are part of the fighting situation. Among them are fighting with your feet, hands, knees and elbows, throwing and ground fighting. In any of the situations above the WT-principles can be applied successfully.
WingTsun History
It is believed that WingTsun Kung Fu was founded by a Buddhist nun called Ng Mui more than 250 years ago in Southern china. Ng Mui developed the traditional Shaolin Kung Fu and tried to eliminate its weak points. The fighting method was passed down from generation to generation, as a top secret system. The fighting style made its first public appearance in 1940, when Yip Man started to teach it openly in Hong Kong. One of his most notable disciples is the now legendary Bruce Lee.
