Chung Chi Wing Chun is a style of Wing Chun created by Sifu Ian Protheroe and taught only to his private students and disciples[1]. Chung Chi was the name given to Sifu Ian Protheroe by Grandmaster William Cheung at a formal ceremony in 1986 and the system's name is also taken from this[2].

History and Development

During the course of his twenty year pledge to teach Cheung's Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu, Protheroe developed his own unique approach to Wing Chun[1]. The system incorporates sword drills, chin na and soft chi sao inspired by the teachings of Grandmaster Chu Shong Tin[3] to which Protheroe was exposed during his frequent training trips to Hong Kong[4]. Chung Chi Wing Chun does not incorporate a formal and explicit grading system[1]. Instead, the "traditional Chinese system of dedication, time spent training and advanced skill level is the only basis for seniority"[1]. In addition, training is by invitation only[1]. Those who are taught the system are at least reasonably fluent in the Classical Wing Chun system before they begin in Chung Chi Wing Chun[1].

Technical Aspects

Chung Chi Wing Chun does not incorporate a formal and explicit grading system[1]. Instead, the "traditional Chinese system of dedication, time spent training and advanced skill level is the only basis for seniority"[1]. In addition, training is by invitation only[1]. Those who are taught the system are at least reasonably fluent in the Classical Wing Chun system before they begin in Chung Chi Wing Chun[1]. Chung Chi Wing Chun includes[3]:

  • mainland Chinese methods of training
  • Chin na
  • Two man sword drills
  • a variety of other open-hand drills

The system draw heavily from the Classical Wing Chun system as a foundation. Thus, students who are invited to learn Chun Chi Wing Chun must have completed the Classical Wing Chun system and be graded to at least level five [1]. Thus, students who begin Chung Chi have learnt[5]:

  • Sil Lim Tao
  • Chi-Sao Basics
  • Kicking
  • Skills drills

In addition, students will have at least been introduced to Chum Kil and advanced self defence techniques[6].

Chun Chi Wung Chun is more circular than Classical or Traditional Wing Chun[1]. It is based on biomechanics and energy flows[1].
