CONCEPTS AND PRINCIPLES

Wing Chun is a martial art that is based on principles and concepts rather than just techniques alone.

Jung sien dui ying (centerline facing principle), also commonly referred to as the saggital plane, central line, mother line, middle line is the cornerstone principle of Wing Chun. By adhering to the centerline principle, the Wing Chun practitioner has occupied the optimal position from which to defend or attack. Thus, the centerline principle forms the basis for the study of proper positioning. By positioning and correctly aligning the anatomical tools in the centerline, the manifestation of power and force is maximized. Finally, the centerline principle defines the effective limit and the power path of each movement, and the areas protected by conceptual shielding.
