Shong Mo Wing Chun Scenic Rim

Acknowledgements and respect must be made to Andrew Withford. Acknowledgements are also given to the people of the CST lineage in particular, Sifu Frederick Mo (Shong Mo Wing Chun). Wing Chun is a system of Kung Fu designed for inner health and realistic self-defense. At the pinnacle of Wing Chun stands amplified mindfulness and effortless power also known as ‘Nim Lik’ or ‘Mind Force’; this is the true essence of Wing Chun. Some other styles of the art are stuck in the external mechanical movements rather than the ‘state of mind’ created through the intention behind each movement. It has been told that a women named Ng Mui devised this art in China over 300 years ago. She invented the system through the refinement of her Kung Fu knowledge in which all unnecessary and energy-consuming movements have been eliminated making it a very practical and efficient form of self-defense. The more we delve into this art, the more we realise its perfection in terms of utilizing the natural laws of physics which deepens our awe and respect for the founder of the system to not only understand these laws over 300yrs ago but also to be able to systemise a method to pass it from generation to generation. Although Wing Chun was named after the student of a lady who was a student of the founder Yim Wing Chun, many translate Wing Chun to be ‘Everlasting Springtime’ in English, which is a very appropriate name for this art as its philosophy and health benefits have immeasurable depth and are never ending.
