Wing Chun Kung Fu
Wing Chun is a martial art for close range: short paths, clear structure, little use of raw strength. At CFC in Villach you train it as part of a structured program – built up step by step, no experience needed.
Wing Chun self-defense for teens: mental strength, clear communication and effective skills against bullying at school, in free time and on social media.
CFC offers Wing Chun training in Villach as part of a structured martial arts education. The program is under the training direction of Sifu Erich Ferlesch, who has martial arts experience since 1990. Training takes place at Karawankenweg 13 in Villach, Carinthia – for beginners and advanced students.
Wing Chun is one of the three core styles at CFC Die Kampfkunstschule – equal alongside FMA – Filipino Martial Arts and HEMA – Historical European Martial Arts. It develops body structure, a feel for distance and timing at close range.
Wing Chun is a close-combat system from southern China. It works at short range – where there is little space and even less time. Instead of many single techniques, a few principles matter: stable structure, short paths, defending and acting at the same time, redirecting force instead of meeting it head-on.
Wing Chun (詠春) belongs to the Chinese martial arts, commonly known as Kung Fu. The correct transcription is Gong Fu (pinyin: gōngfu, 功夫), originally meaning “skill acquired through time and effort”; the Chinese umbrella term for martial arts is Wushu (武術). Three spellings are in common use: Gong Fu, Kungfu (one word) and Kung Fu (two words). In short: Wing Chun Kung Fu is a southern Chinese close-combat system within the Kung Fu family. You will find an overview of other systems in our martial arts lexicon.
We do not teach technique after technique, but skills: structure, distance, timing, movement and application under pressure. Partner drills such as Chi Sao train your reaction to what is actually happening. Every session builds on the last, at a pace tied to your progress.
