Lessons of the Third Door

Attachment to thoughts, concepts and ideas separates you from your true self.

By putting aside this false concept of ego, you increase your personal power, presence and effectiveness.

Mental tension creates physical tension – by dropping this you create personal freedom.

Self-realization is fundamental to a stress-free and contented life.

SimplicityBy John and Julian

Julian

Tzu Jan (Simplicity) teaches us that we only need the most basic elements to achieve great success, contentment and self-realization. Physically, Simplicity is the ability to use the lowest number of movements to achieve success. We quantify this with the ‘and test’. This means that in any combat situation, there should only be one motion to any attack. Each movement you add before winning is an ‘and’.

This is why Wing Tsun uses the principle of simultaneity – defending and counter-attacking in one response. The more movements you add in, the more likely it is that you will be unsuccessful. It takes too long, requires mental processing (as opposed to an instinctive response) and stops you adapting. If a martial art can successfully defend against a strong, very fast, straight attack, then it’s on a good grounding. If it can’t, then it is based on a fallacy. Simplicity becomes even more imperative when you are faced with more than one assailant. With a significant number of variables already, you cannot afford to add any more complications. In combat, failing to master Simplicity can have fatal results.

Wing Tsun one motion defence.
