Wing Chun Facts
1. A straight line is the shortest distance between 2 points
2. By using the body to create specific machines such as inclined planes, wheels, axes, and levers, a smaller force can redirect or dissipate a stronger force.
3. The closer you strike to the rotational axis of a body, the more force that body must absorb.
