How it was it started

I started learning VingTsun when I was 12, The first was the hokkien`s version of VingTsun which focuses more on bringing the power from foot to the tip of the fingers(BiuJi) using a teachnique called `samchien` which mean `the power of heaven, earth and human`.I practised the hokkien`s version for about 6 years from 3 different sifu in Indonesia. When I first come to Canada, I learned a diffrent version of the VingTsun which focuses more on the foot-work(moving your body weight from 1 leg to the other) while you`re trying to `make a bridge` to the opponent. The last version of the VingTsun I learned is from Victor Leow`s student(Anthony chung) when I went back to Indonesia. He`s an chinese-australian. I found that his VingTsun`s system and it`s concepts is a bit different than any other VingTsun.The system was called VIKOGA.VIKOGA is an acronym for Virtual Intelligent Kinaesthetically Oriented Geometric Activation and is defined as the internal arts program of body movement technology, which uses the unique G-Force (Gridmindmapping Force), configured and designed by Victor Leow, uniquely implemented by ICAN - Worldwide.

VIKOGAhas specifically selected the unique Chinese martial art of Vingtzun (Wing-Chun) Gungfu system a suitable entry point to the program. Vingtzun Gungfu is conceivably the only Chinese martial art recognised to be founded by a woman. It is probably one of the most popular Chinese Martial Art in the world after Tai-Chi. Vingtzun is renowned for its simplicity, directness, economy of movements and immense practicality. In many ways it is an ideal martial art and is suitable for busy people in our world today. Many people assume incorrectly that there is only one school of Vingtzun. Actually, there are various schools of Vingtzun with different content and emphases. Even veteran practising masters coming from the same lineage exhibit distinctive individual differences. For example in Hong Kong, Grandmaster Tsui Seung-Tin and the late Grandmaster Wong Shun-Leung who both trained under the same teacher, very clearly displayed differences in their approaches to Vingtzun Gungfu. This is the result of different levels of experience, understanding and personality differences.

Against this backdrop, VIKOGA also needed to reengineer this system using the latest methodologies into a comprehensive and wholistic approach to make it easier for contemporary students to learn and assimilate. Also, there are within VIKOGA elements belonging to some other reputable martial arts styles and systems. This is expected and understandable as these elements contribute to developing the individual to his optimum and there are many outstanding elements in other martial arts styles and systems worth learning. It would be unfair to deny obvious benefits of these to you, the student, by rigidly and unrealistically sticking to one style or system. Since human creativity knows no bounds and is ever evolving, the VIKOGA Program is never static. It will not only continuously improve on its contents but also its learning process. The philosophy that drives the improvement process of most martial arts is the traditional oriental philosophy. VIKOGA is no different in this respect. The traditional oriental philosophy is a working instrument which has stood the test of time and its enduring relevance to martial arts and self-improvement makes it an indispensable factor in the vast martial arts field.

Other models consistent with VIKOGA's selection criteria includes -

Hsing-I Chuan (Form-Intent Boxing)

Hsin-I Liuher Chuan (Mindwill Hexaharmonic Boxing)

Pakua Chang (Octagrammatic Palms)

Tai Chi Chuan (Ultimate Extreme Boxing)

The main underlying principles and concepts involved in this philosophy include

* The Universal First Motive Force - known as Qi (also spelled as Ch'i).
* The Yin-Yang Model - the First Universal Bipolar Paradox.
* The Pentaphasic Homeostasis Model - the 5-Transformative Universal Principle.
* The Pakua System - the Octal-Hexagrammatic Table of Concordance in All Changes.
* The Celestial Stems & Terrestrial Branches System of Correspondence.
* Classical Systems of Strategy.
* Traditional Chinese Medical System.
* Ancient Practical Cosmic Worldview and Applications.
* Practical Ancient & Contemporary Philosophies.
* Aspects of Fuzzy Logic, Theory of Chaos & Complexity, Bio-electromagnetism, Scientific Finer Forces, Total Quality Management, to name a few.
* Mind Projection of the conical, spherical and cubic shapes - the G-Force.

Conclusion

After some having a lot of thinking, practising and learning for some period of time, I have decided to put everything I`ve learned together and I`m not going to change the name of the VingTsun nor create another new system name, Instead, just use the name of VingTsun.

Other skills

As a Taoist, to become a real `sifu`, we must pocess at least 5 basic knowledge&abilities of Taoist`s way. Which are Taoist`s Magick&Meditation(Tao cia), Medicine(Tang-ting-men), Taoist`s Philosophy(Tao ciao), Ba-Zi(Prophecy), Feng-shui(Setting up our house&work place for getting the most benefit of health,luck and a harmony with the Universe and Wu-kung-men(Martial arts).

Therefore, I still learning some of those knowledge (Fengshui,Tao cia, Medicine, Philosophy, Javanese`s art of magus) and trying to be a better person every day.

Commitment

I`m very commit to preserve The VingTsun`s authenticness and try to pass it forward to anyone who is really serious and commited to learn.
