Training in the Ving Tsun system, under a qualified sifu, such as in the Moy Tung lineage of the Moy Yat Kung Fu family, enables people of smaller stature, including women and children, to overcome even more experienced attackers that are larger, stronger and faster. In addition to being highly effective for developing real-world self-defense skill, Ving Tsun training is also relaxed and safe, minimizing the risk of injury to participants.
