Setup (Upplägg 建立)
WCAA-Sweden pedagogy applies traditional Wing Chun pedagogy, based on SDL (Student-Driven Learning) combined with academic pedagogical methods that distinguish us from other schools. We expect you to manage the following:
The learning tools include web tools and assisted document guides (governance documents). This enables you to read theory and write homework in our online forums. There are also mandatory weekly online theory workshops.
The pedagogy is based on Social Collaborative Learning within the team. SiHing (senior students) have specific Roles & Responsibilities (R&R) as trainers/mentors, and co-students serve as training partners both inside and outside the class.
The leadership method is based on traditional Wing Chun, where the Sifu’s R&R is that of a guiding leader.
Success in traditional Wing Chun requires the ability to achieve objectives by letting go of preconceived notions. This differs from modern, fast-paced "factory" concepts focused on immediate results.
Strong Discipline, Motivation, Patience, and Loyalty (DMPL) to achieve results.
Recommendation: Prior discipline or self-leadership training from other martial arts or similar fields.
Being a good team player, engaged in collaboration and contribution within the group.
Strong study discipline for training and studying Wing Chun theories written in English.
Effective time management and a time budget for: 1. An individual home training plan of at least 30 minutes daily. 2. Theoretical studies in collaboration using our internal web forum.
Note: The 1st term is for establishing a daily training routine; this routine must be maintained to advance in the 2nd term.
Ability to maintain >90% attendance and notify of any absences.
Humility: Do not bring a competitive or comparative mindset to partner training. Learning Wing Chun requires humility to avoid frustration and promote growth.
Acceptance: Accept that a Wing Chun instructor is a teacher, not a trainer. Embrace "learning by teaching," and understand that knowledge is not the same as skill.
Environment: Accept health and energy improvement through outdoor training, even in temperatures near zero degrees.
Proficiency in managing outdoor clothing (boots, gloves, hats, coats) during the Swedish winter.
Access to a computer/mobile device for online theory lessons.
WCAA assumes no responsibility for accidents occurring during training if students do not comply with safety requirements. Mastery of movement and power is a key part of the Wing Chun system, essential for the safety of all training partners.
