It appears to me to be a quite natural and effective style. Particularly appealling are the simultaneous defense and attack moves and the absence of high kicks. I have had some Tae Kwon Do experience and have always doubted the effectiveness of some of its flowery and aerial kicks. Though pretty, these moves seem too slow and uncontrollable compared to direct linear moves. Does anyone have any thoughts or experiences regarding Wing Chun or other aspects of the martial arts? I would love to locate a Wing Chun teacher in the Baltimore, Maryland area (or the northern D.C. suburbs). - Rich Greenberg Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab
