What is Wing Tchun Do?

A brief biography and history

Brief Biography, Fighterman (Sifu Fernandez) began his martial arts training in 1973 under the direct Yip Man LIneage of GM Tsui Shun Tin in Australia. He trained with great passion and dedication under the late Sifu Jim Fung from 1973 till the early 1990's. He had the opportunity to see other lineages such as Master Wong Shun Leung, William Cheung and in the early 80's attended many seminars such as noted martial artists such as Guru Danny Inosanto, Sifu Nino Pilla, Master Vince Palumbo and others. To further satisfy his curiosity in combat he was able through the guidance of these teachers learn the fundamentals in Kick Boxing, boxing, basics in greek roman wrestling,stick and knife fighting from the Doce Pares system. He then travelled abroad and learnt boxing in which he trained for many years and also participated in various amateur bouts. He was forutnate enough to have trained with serious boxing professionals with the italian Fernet Branca team. He also then learnt a variation of Wing Chun from noted Wu Shu master Sifu Cangelosi in Italy Genoa, in which he studied for approximately 2 years. When he came back to australia he began in 1992 the GM Leung Ting Lineage under Sifu Stefan Fischer and became his personal student for 7 years. He moved back to europe and then became personal student of Sifu Cuciuffo, Granmaster Keith Kernspecht and then finally moved on to becoming GM leung Ting's private student.in which he moved back and forth to Hong Kong for about 3 years.

In that period he also had the opportunity to learn directly under the second highest ranked Wing Tsun master in the world Master Chen Chuen Fun.

He has also had the privilage to learn under many masters that completed the Wing Tsun system such as noted Sifus, Delisio, Cesana (to whom he learnt the wooden long pole, and learnt the Bart Chum Dao directly under Sifu Stellato in Caserta Italy.
He has regular contact with many martial artists from different arenas such as Sanda, and people who compete regularly in the MMA competitions. He is good friends with noted MMA light heavy weight champion Antonio Saracino, who recently was ranked sixth in the world in the FIGMA statistics.
Sifu Fernandez has for about 17 years (and is still) working as a night club bouncer. He has done on many occasions personal body guard security.

SECURITY FOR MASTER LEUNG TING
Sifu Fernandez was noted as being personal bodyguard to GM leung Ting during a difficult courtcase in which he eventually triumphed as victor.
His hands on experience and street smart appications made him do many years of research in close range combat. He eventually developed Wing Tchun Do which is a global application of the Wing Chun and Tsun systems. He now terms his system as an approach to 'Global Chi Sao' meaning that he shows how most fighting systems can adopt the 'Chi Sao' fighting application from any angle, position and weight distribution. Fighterman in the approximately 2005 was one of the first foreigners to be invited into China to show his Wing Tchun Do system and on youtube there are rare footages of his seminars. He has over 2000 videos of his daily training and many of his journeys into Beijing China and Hong Kong.
He intends to make his online videos available to everybody and teach the whole Wing Tchun Do system.


Overall view, Wing Tchun Do, is it a missing link in the martial arts?

Wing Tchun Do is a system that connects many systems of martial arts together. Who studies Wing Tchun Do will be able to better understand the mechanics of almost any martial arts. We feel that it’s a bit like a missing link, a link which with its working methodology helps you to relate and respect all true combat and martial arts systems and work them better with a unified working methodology.

 

Wing Tchun Do was born in 2005, it is being taught in two countries of the world and will soon be available online to the public


Why create Wing Tchun Do? There are so many martial arts out there

He always felt that something was lacking in the modern teaching methods of certain martial arts. Observing the martial arts communities, and reading various opinions, blogs, magazines etc…. he saw many problems, politics, bad mouthing of other disciplines, non qualified masters, not thinking about the evolution of the student and rather more so developing better marketing strategies to earn more money from them.  

Disillusioned, probably because he too at times felt like a victim or possibly he didn’t want to identify himself in this negative light, he developed a system based on the loved traditional values that one would look for in a martial art and then provide it as a service.

‘A martial art is a discipline, it’s like a school, it’s not to empower your ego’

Fighterman has many videos on youtube at this point well over 2 thousand, demonstrating his ability and also provides online training courses for anybody around the world.

 

Who teaches Wing Tchun Do?

Certainly creating a martial art is not an easy task, it’s taken at this point 37 years, and the art is considered as a ‘work in progress’ always evolving.

Also it’s not easy creating qualified instructors.  Furthermore Fighterman is not in a rush and he is very selective to who teaches his art and has a very disciplined training approach for anybody who wants to expand the teaching method of Wing Tchun Do.

Up until now Fighterman trains and develops his instructors personally and he expects his instructors to remain pure to his approach of being a true martial arts teacher.

‘ I almost prefer teaching ability over physical ability, nowadays we have many people capable of striking and demonstrating their martial powers, but very few people know how to teach. Certainly being physically gifted is an advantage but people want to know what’s in your mind and how to work themselves to improve physical and mental performance

Although this art still encompasses many traditional aspects similar to Wing Chun /Tsun, Wing Tchun Do brings it one step deeper and unites the Wing Chun/Tsun theories and amalgamates it with various martial art systems.

This was done because many people with differing martial arts back grounds could apply the Wing Tchun Do to their existing training format without changing their style or training regimen.

‘ there is nothing worse than a martial artist after many years of practice in another style having to drop everything and starting all over again’ ‘I should know, I’ve been there before’

Wing Tchun Do helps you understand your existing style and provides an in depth view of how to train the system without leaving your own.

Fighterman is very excited about this.

‘ I always felt that their was a way in which martial arts could use a tool to reflect their work and applying it when comparing themselves with other systems’

Fighterman says ‘Wing Tchun Do doesn’t mean leaving the style you are doing, we have many programmes to help improve body mechanics and functionality in the art you are doing now!’

Wing Tchun Do is unique and moves away from mimicking other systems and introduces a very realistic and practical approach to training which helps the student evolve on many personal levels of growth.

Firstly understanding him/her self, understanding human nature, fear, tension, anxiety, and working on working with these elements to improve self confidence.

Secondly, improving physical mobility, flexibility, strength, coordination and above all awareness and improved concentration.

Third, working in a family environment. Working with people like you, working to improve over all performance and making friendship. That's what it's all about!

Fourth , understanding self defence on all  levels, learning what it means to use a martial art in a modern world and the necessity of grasping  what the law permits or considers legitimate self defence.

Fifth, returning to the martial arts values that so many schools seem to have lost. Last but not least Wing Tchun Do intends to maintain its purity by avoiding politics and aims to unite various martial arts and teach to respect differing theories and disciplines.
