Every martial arts form is different!
The skills of WT focus on defending the body's centerline where all our vital organs lie. The overall simplicity of WT is evident by the number of practical techniques involved in learning the system.
"LESS IS MORE!" - WT is not based upon physical strength or acrobatic ability
- WT teaches you to use the force of the opponent and turn it against him
- WT self-defense movements derive from tactile reflexes that are mechanical and directly determined by the attack of the opponent
- WT meets the demand of "appropriate force"
Its significance lies less in stylistic external movements (boxing, high kicking, etc.) and fancy tricks but in the revolutionary totality of the concept.
Number of Movements WT is conceived in such a way that one can manage a fight effectively with just a few movements. The best self-defense is one that can fend off the most attacks with the least amount of movements! Movements are used simultaneously, performing up to three different movement patterns at the same time.
The 4 Ways of Force - Be free from your own force
- Free yourself from your opponent's force
- Use your opponent's force
- Add your own force to the force of your opponent
Through intense training, WT students learn to harness the energy of the attack. Instead of opposing force with force, we teach you how to complete your opponent's movement by accepting his flow of energy as he aims it, thus defeating him by utilizing his own force.
The 4 Principles of WT - If the way is clear, move forward!
- If there is contact, stick to it!
- If your opponent is stronger, give in!
- If the opponent retreats, follow!
