What is this?
Wing Chun Academy Stockholm also known as Wing Chun Academy Association - Sweden (WCAA- Sweden) www.wingchun.st
Wing Chun 詠春 (咏春 Yǒng Chūn) is the largest famous non-sport Cantonese martial art ( KungFu 功夫 ). Turn the weakness into a strength by this soft internal Wing Chun 内家詠春拳.
Wing Chun is a unique soft survival defense art and health improvement martial art rather than combat sport, which means also defense under unfair conditions and environments which means:
- Against physical strength/bigger.
- Many against alone.
- Under dark narrow environments.
- Independent of indoor/outdoor clothing and weather context.
Wing Chun quality is like running water by using soft power and recycling power from the opponent for its own advantage. It might sound strange in the beginning before learning this art. It is a close-range defense to avoid clinching for reuse and saving energy. The literal meaning of Wing Chun is “chant spring” which is a Chinese girl’s name. Wing Chun as an internal martial art with academic pedagogic starts with internal training rather than physical/external. This means it starts with the martial art theories and mind training and control, but also the internal energy (bio-energy) for soft-power development. The Wing Chun system is a unique and very different martial art and based on female conditions. We also adapted our Wing Chun for people that need energy rather than having energy.
Wing Chun is not an athletic martial-art, it is more about how to overcome the need for athleticism, therefore kids and very athletic people are not the right target. Wing Chun is more of a systems architecture based on concepts and principles. Learning Wing Chun is like learning a language with generic grammar programmed for real-time reactions. Learning our Wing Chun requires an understanding of the theories, knowing how to perform, but also applying it as a real-time reflex.
The Wing Chun Academy Association - Sweden 詠春拳學會 - 瑞典¸ ( WCAA-Sweden ) is educating Wing Chun instructors/pedagogues and practitioners (beginners) academically rather than providing pure training. The WCAA-Sweden linage has a holistic approach for developing you to become a master with both theories and practice with continuous improvements as life-style for awareness, anti-stress/calmness, survival mind, health/wellness and successful art for your life.

What's unique?
Wing Chun Academy Association - Sweden (WCAA-Sweden) Wing Chun lineage
- Wing Chun KungFu/GongFu 詠春 功夫 is one of the most secret and effective Cantonese martial arts from the Chinese Qing dynasty based on system concepts/principles. It is most efficient in narrow environments such as lifts and subways since it is a unique close-range standing combat etc.
- WCAA Wing Chun style belongs more to the category of Traditional Soft Wing Chun as Internal Martial Art as a lifestyle with wellness & anti-stress for body and mind. The holistic internal art includes analytic/model simulated mind, mindful/aware (the feeling filter and body awareness), mindfulness (the mind state), mind-power 念力, which is the base for the development of the internal energy (BioEnergy). The metal open attitude development enables the understanding of the deeper traditional way of Wing Chun martial art. Other soft development aspects are also e.g. mindset prediction, social competencies, pedagogic, self & team leadership development, self-discipline, patience, availability to be in focused stillness, and take control of negative feelings.
- You will also learn how the hidden traditional strategic Wing Chun principles can be applied against today's martial arts and for use as self-defense, including psychological attitude training, self-leadership, and weapon defense in close distance. The combination of softness for non-muscular strength makes it suitable for people with weaker health, body structure, and for females.
-
Since WCAA/WAIS are non-profit with 100% free from subsidy dependency, we can therefore apply the Chinese traditional approach, i.e. small family team participation development focusing pedagogic education on quality rather than quantity.
The instructor/Sifu here has a leadership role as a guide/adviser using Group Oriented Leadership (vs. Authoritarian Oriented Leadership) to enable you to be actively engaged as part of the group and to take responsibility and initiative over your training and learning. - Our pedagogic concept also covers the collaborative learning approach and is adapted to today's busy life. The educational academic driven approach is to help you understand the system principles as an engineer rather than just a user of the system i.e. the background of the system design for combat strategy/theories in a complete concept rather than just blind training of the system. This means the magic of Soft Wing Chun is: What you see is not what you do, it is just a consequence
- WCAA is also currently the only Wing Chun academy in Sweden with Chinese/Cantonese background instructors and education mainly in English, but with spoken support in Swedish, Cantonese, and Mandarin ( PuTongHua ). WCAA applies the Christian value foundation and e-democracy based decision process.
Who does it work?
Wing Chun is known as one of the most effective defensive martial arts designed for being practiced by a weaker physical person, the defense movements are direct in timing without extra movements, the practice focus is not on external physical training. The training focuses are on the internal process of programming a few core principles from the controlled brain part called the C-system (conscious) to the brain X-system (reflective). This process can effectively be done under mindfulness focus and with scenario/case simulation in the brain without training partners since a training partner has much lower availability. The training partner role is more for emulation training of scenarios/cases.
Wing Chun techniques/movements are soft and tiny, which require high precision of movements and positions at close distance. All movements are also multitasked between the arms and intention mind under multi-dimension. Even the basic moments are few, but can be performed at different levels based on ambition. Wing Chun is based on recycling power from the opponent for its own advantage. Wing Chun requires body movement control and awareness before control and awareness can be done on an opponent. Therefore ChiSao training method, one of the most important partners training method, is an efficient and controlled test & exercise method for emulating close-range combat. Wing Chun consists of a different component or building block that creates architecture in a context, the training and learning are based on building the different components (building blocks') before integrating them together into a working system.
Wing Chun is not a martial sport for competition, it was created for survival defense, therefore the Wing Chun system has built-in risk assessment and mitigation as part of the system. WCAA is applying Wing Chun combat strategy/tactics for defense. The training, sparring and emulation are more against other martial arts attacks. Distance control and flexible footwork movements are some of the most basic components for keeping the Wing Chun distance without being trapped.
WCAA is also teaching self-defense scenarios based on the Wing Chun principles. We separate the concept of self-defense from a battle fight, since battle fighting is an agreed decision between 2 persons with or without rules, while self-defense is non-agreed under a survival, unfair (more than one attacker or maybe with weapons) and unprepared situation.
WCAA Wing Chun also increases the internal and soft aspects of the practitioner, such as teamwork, awareness, and control of the physical and mental part, which also includes the health improvement as a side effect.
WCAA is an academy which means it teaches practitioners the theory and applies academic pedagogic at the university level, so the practitioner is responsible for its own training and development. To succeed with our Wing Chun requires so-called. DMLP (Discipline Loyalty Motivation Patience) Learning by teaching is one of the important concepts that we are applying together with the traditional Kung Fu family concept within the team.
One of the WCAA concepts is applying the Wing Chun to practical fighting scenarios from other martial arts, therefore our traditional Baat Cham Dao weapon form is applied against other weapons e.g. Japanese Katana, for implementing that WCAA is aligned with our partner Realistic Sparring Weapons (RSW) from Hong Kong.

The founder Approach
Peter Yeung, is the Sifu and founder of Wing Chun Academy Association. One reason for developing his own Wing Chun and school is that there are no other schools aligned with his concept.
Sifu’s goal was for creating a niche internal Wing Chun system for both effective defense and health by enabling efficiency against other martial arts with the traditional Wing Chun pedagogic, starting with the internal part based on the principles from 1st form SiuNimTao internal concept.
The personal goal is to create an academic way of teaching Wing Chun with the underlying theoretical models and architecture in order to educate instructors to master the system, but also to enable further development of it. The ambition of this academy is to have highly motivated students with high ambitions.
One hobby the Sifu has is IT, especially DevOps for this web application as part of the Wing Chun education with digitalization and automation of administrative processes. The goal is to enable the students to start their own Wing Chun school or other associations by using a common platform.
Sifu has not the best body from the start with the energy to practice external and athletic martial arts, but martial art is exciting. He has a passion for developing the internal part of Wing Chun, which can increase both health and practical defense. Within the maturer age, the body starts to break down. Since internal martial arts are keeping the body functional, then it is also a condition for continuing with Wing Chun. This is one reason Sifu develops this internal Wing Chun so that people like him can still practice deep martial art and also keep healthy.
