Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Decide what kind of club you would like to belong to. Some clubs are basically non-profit, no-frills schools for learning Wing Chun technique. Others clubs are for members to come together and fight. Every club has its own culture.
2. Find a club near campus. The most common types of Wing Chun clubs are centered around university communities. If you are a student, search your school's rooster of student organizations and find out if there is a group on campus.
3. Be prepared for an unstructured atmosphere. Every person who practices will develop their own style. Wing Chun technique is actually a series of ideas that students can adapt to their own body types and physical limitations.
4. Show up and ask questions. It may be uncomfortable the first few times; but there is no better way to meet people who have the same interest. Clubs are filled with people who want to hone their Wing Chun technique using the most intellectual of martial arts.
