What we do
Practical Wing Tchun Federation is aimed to –
unite wing tchun practics from different lines and schools on purpose to improve fighter’s skills and methods of teaching.
Kong-Sao Semi Contact
The purpose of Semi Contact Kong-Sao Tournament version (Siu Nim Tao level) is to practice the technique, skills of accuracy, the ability to illustrate the pattern of the style – so that the judges can assess the competitor’s skills and capabilities of feeling and understanding the distance between the opponent and the ability to read the rival’s behavior. The specifics of this category lie in the lack of any full contact (only light targeted attacks to demonstrate the acquired technique) – as in Shotokan Karate – all hits are allowed (without full power).
Kong-Sao Ligth Contact
Light Contact Tournament version (Chum Kiu level) is driven by the idea of practicing and developing the strength and active power of linear attacks. The specifics of this category is that only straightforward techniques are used (towards the center line), all circular and lateral kicks or punches are restricted.
Kong-Sao Full Contact
The purpose of Full Contact Tournament version (Biu Dze level) is to practice fighting techniques with almost no limitations. Fighters are allowed to put all their power in to the moves they use. Specifics of this category: both – wrestling on the ground (up to 10 seconds) and different lateral kicks are allowed. The rules of Full Contact are somewhat similar to MMA rules.
