Hsing Chen and Yung Wei Close Combat Systems
(rough first draft)
These pages describe two close-combat systems developed by Founding Master John Bracy. These are Hsing Chen Kung Fu and the Yung Wei (also written Wing Wei systems). They are related, in that they share core principles. Furthermore, both systems are designed for street defense, and not tournament oriented.
The Hsing Chen Kung Fu system combines principles from hsing-i chuan, t’ai-chi chuan, ba gua zhang, and internal Shaolin. It is an “internal martial art” in that it trains the student to work with flow and awareness of his/her internal energy, emphasizes a loose and relaxed response to stress, emphasizes the power of mind and intention in close combat, and teaches the student to initiate and work with the body’s energetic centers and channels.
The focus of the Yung Wei (Wing Wei) system is to teach the student to instantly and effectively respond to a surprise encounter with an adversary. As with the Hsing Chen Kung Fu system,
two main mind-body principles are emphasized. First, both the body’s response to an attack and use of power/force is channeled through a relaxed body. In both systems, the practitioner is trained to direct power effectively from the soles of the feet to the fingertips. However, the Yung Wei system emphasizes instantaneous neutralization and counter attack.
