 | Subbotina Olga Economist, accountant. “Wing Chun classes help
me to harmonise my spirit and body. First of all, it is a real art.
Secondly, it promotes a type of health, which everyone needs. Thirdly,
it might someday become useful for peaceful purposes.” |
 | Grigoriy Uvarov A periodical feeling of internal and physical
insecurity. An inability to alter the rhythm and course of events.
Being late, missed, lost, got stuck, etc. All of these things prompted
me to realise that this is the wrong path to take in life. My damaged
senses were still able to tell me that I had to make life changing
decisions. After thinking long and hard about which martial arts would
suit me, I came across a magazine with an article on Wing Chun’ martial
arts. It has now been three years since my first acquaintance with this
school through its Master V.V. Martynov. Now I can say with great
confidence that the Wing Chun doctrine, its principles (in all their
simplicity) are as complicated as your body, spirit and faith. In
addition, your principles suffer damage when following the wrong
lifestyle. This means the relationship within a person. The Centre
Line’ of Wing Chun and the life I am building enable me to conclude
that Wing Chun is a milestone of my way’. |
 | Svetlana Accountant. “I perceive Wing Chun to be a
transparent yet robust construction. A Human who enters this
construction views it as a maze. He remembers and learns: how to be who
I am.” |
 | Nechitaylov Igor “I began mastering Wing Chun not so long ago
(December 2004). What attracted me to it were its basic principles, an
absence of aggression and the use of an opponent’s power against
himself. This means that the power in forcing an effect on someone
depends on the opposing power applied. These principles bring about the
gentleness of the techniques and the use of nature’s powers (i.e., your
own, your partner’s and earth’s energies). All of these are matched by
my spiritual-psychological and physical qualities.” |
 | Drozhzhina Galina Romanovna Doctor, neurologist. Has been engaged in Wing Chun since April 2004. Wing Chun helps to reveal a free and conscious motion. |
 | Lebedev “I am 20 years of age. As a child I attended Wushu
and music lessons (I played piano). Later I got seriously into physics
and maths as well as astronomy. Unfortunately I also neglected my
childhood interests. I understood this only when I had already become a
student of the Physics Faculty (Astronomy Department) of the Moscow
State University. I returned to music in the spring of 2003. In the
autumn of 2004 I attended my first Wing Chun classes. I have now
completed the fourth month of my classes. Each new lesson is a new
discovery with new feelings. It is very interesting yet difficult. My
professional occupation with astronomy is closely related to trips to
the mountains (due to many observatories being located at high
altitude). Last summer I went for practice sessions held at the largest
observatory in Russia, the SAO, located on the slope of the Caucasian
Ridge (not far from Arkhiz village). These are real mountains!!!” |
 | Markelov Maxim Executive Director of an Insurance Brokerage.
“Wing Chun, snowboarding, windsurfing, motor sport. These are the
pastimes I am engaged in, when my business allows me! Sports generally
teach you that the target is achievable if you take it seriously. Each
different sport has something to teach us which would also be deemed
necessary in business.” |
 | Roman Petrovich I have been engaged in Wing Chun for about a
year now. I am a student of one of Moscow’s Higher Education
Institutions. I am happy that I have managed to take in Wing Chun
school even though, originally, I was more modest in my expectations. I
like spending my free time with my friends. I love travelling and
adventures. I am a big fan of Jet Li and Jackie Chan. |
 | Lebedeva Victoriya Vitalyevna “I am working as an Assistant
Director in the Advertising and Marketing Department of the Kinomax
Cinema chain. I have been engaged in Wing Chun since October 2004. It
was no accident that I stumbled across the Zheleznaya Fleyta’ Club.
Back in 1990 I met Alekseeva Yelena Nikolayevna, a children’s Wushu
instructor. She became a first teacher and a master of my eldest son.
Five years later when my boy grew up, the question of going for martial
Wushu classes arose. Then I heard about a Wing Chun school which was
lead by Martynov Valeriy Vasilyevich. I had even read a book about Chi
Sao called Sticking hands’. But by that time my son’s interests had
changed. I too hadn’t even thought about participating in Eastern
martial arts. Perhaps the age of 40 is the turning point for many
people. Active sports are relegated to the background: sports mountain
trips gradually changed and became family trips for rest. Aerobics and
other such classes didn’t seem interesting any more. Then, the
understanding of a simple truth dawned on me: one has to love oneself!
Straight away time appeared in my life’s schedule and I developed a
wish to take part in an activity which would help me to develop in a
complex manner: i.e., physically, spiritually and intellectually. I
typed the magic words Wing Chun’ into Rambler and here I am! Now each
and very sport session and various communications with other club
members bring me joy and satisfaction.” |
 | Kruchkov Vasiliy I am 23 years old and I work in a consulting
company. I have been practicing Wing Chun since the middle of 2002. I
constantly return to the very beginning and simultaneously move
forwards: rethinking the past. I came to the school originally to learn
the skill of suppressing aggressive confrontation. Perhaps this
motivation was my main reason. But over the period of classes, this
reason changed significantly. This is because all the main principles
apply to routine life as well as in business. I love my wife and son. I
love my work and many other things, without which life would not be
that full! |
