Stop thinking too much!
How to improve and how to teach wing chun
Beginners often want to stop and think the techniques through.
This is wrong and a terribly slow way of learning because it will reduce the number of repetitions you can do during the class and with less data (experience) you cannot understand the techniques fully.
What to do instead of thinking too much about it
During class:
Remember how kids learn. You were a kid once. Do not overthink. Do not worry about making mistakes.
Just COPY and REPEAT like a kid would
At home or before/after class:
Try to recall the last session and repeat the technique by yourself.
Work on footwork, work using both arms at the same time.
You learn to understand movements by doing them.
After 2-3 months of training, you will have gathered enough experience to start thinking about how to execute and improve your technique.
But in the beginning, try to turn your brain off and just enjoy moving.
