WyngTjun is a ritual fight which links Chinese combat techniques with modern means of rhetoric, communication and diplomacy. First rule: avoid combat from happening. Second rule: If the aggressor doesn't give in, act.
WyngTjun is not for "rambos". The objective is to stay cool and to master your ego when needed. By learning to respond properly to phrases such as "who are you staring at, idiot ?" with e.g. "sorry, I took you for someone else", many situations, which would otherwise escalate within a few seconds, can be sometimes defused. Avoiding such difficult situations from happening is not a sign of cowardice but a demonstration of intelligence because with only a few polite words, you can often avoid physical damage.
It's often difficult to count on a fair play attitude on behalf of the opponent. WyngTjun prepares the students to all possible scenarios and teaches them to favor adequate argumentation. The training difference between WyngTjun, which is close to reality, and traditional fighting sports lies precisely there. The WyngTjun ritual fight is not a competition. It is a tactical approach to address any potential problems, e.g. when going out into discos or clubs, without unnecessary use of force. Using a studied adequate spoken and body language, the student learns to divert aggressors from their original plans and to avoid superfluous combat in an efficient way. In case that de- escalation does not lead to success, the WyngTjun student will have learned efficient techniques which are adapted to situations of self-defense (within its legal framework) in order to put your opponent into state where he cannot do any harm to you. The students will also acquire a feeling of self-assurance and self-confidence, thus freeing themselves of the role as the victim.
WyngTjun is a Chinese martial art and all ritual fight techniques find their roots in this art. Evidence for this is that this martial art is used by international special forces such as the FBI, the marines and also German SEK.
The WyngTjun ritual fight is highly specialized to self-defense situations and adapted to the applicable legal context. By using obvious and demonstrative de-escalation gestures, the WyngTjun practitioner clearly reveals the attacker to the public. Real self-defense is not just a matter of technique. It is not sufficient to save your skin in the street but you also have to be able to explain your self-defense in a court of justice, in particular if there were witnesses. Therefore, the WyngTjun practitioner learns to adopt an adequate behaviour which is also compliant with the law.
Every time a man is unwillingly confronted with a combat situation, he finds himself in an exceptional or an extreme physical situation. The menace of imminent danger translates into a sudden adrenaline surge, having symptoms which many people do not recognise or are not even aware of, i.e. trembling knees, narrowed field of vision, weakened voice, the awkward desire to pass water, etc.. The consequences of such a situation are that you are paralysed due to fear in front of the aggressor.
The objective of ritual fight strategy is to mentally prepare the practitioner, in particular the beginners, to extreme situations and to make them aware of the primary physical reactions.
Among others, the following topics are focused on:
The concepts of ritual fight are taught very early to the student so as to prepare him efficiently and for real. The essential objective is to defuse dangerous situations and thus to avoid combat. If all those preventive efforts happen to be unsuccessful, pre-emptive strikes will help to reduce the time of confrontation and to limit the risk of injury (of yourself).
Always keep in mind what follows: The objective is NOT to injure the opponent, it IS to end the combat as soon as possible, i.e. to reduce the inherent danger.
