Weapons training are an extension of physical coordination.

When one masters Weaponry, there will be a transference of Chi energy into the Weapon.

This skill is demonstrates Power and then the Body and Weapon become a sing unit.

In Jee Shin Wing Chun, combat and self-defence are a priority in training.

Weapons training is secondary.

In today’s violent society, effective self-defence and combat skills are imperative.
