As long as you are healthy with no debilitating injuries, you are not too old to start Wing Tsun training. Wing Tsun Kung Fu is suitable to all ages, gender and physical built.
Martial Arts is a physical art so there is always a risk of minor injuries during training but serious injuries are less likely if training is done properly and safely.
Wing Tsun, like any other martial arts, can involve strains, sprains, cuts, and bruises. However, the style is generally considered less physically demanding than some other martial arts, and with proper instruction and technique, injuries can be minimized.
In NZWTA , we follow a syllabus and you will train with someone with the same level and skill as you.
Wing Chun training generally has minimal health requirements and is adaptable to individuals of all ages, genders, and fitness levels. It emphasizes technique and leverage over brute strength, making it accessible to people with diverse physical capabilities.
Wing Tsun is easy to learn but your progress and mastery of the art will depend on your personal dedication, attendance, practice and patience.
