WT-MASTERS-ACADEMY BOOTCAMP
INTRODUCTION
I have been practicing Wing Tsun (WT) for over 30 years. In order to learn this fascinating martial art, I had to invest a lot of time, effort and a small fortune. That’s why only a few people are able to master the complete Wing Tsun system.
In consideration of the industry, which usually has secret cults, it is almost a miracle that some people reach the master class at all.
Today most Wing Tsun teachers are in an early stage of training themselves, even if they have been through years of training.
They are in a structure which is subject to particular rules. Rules that are minimizing their success, restraining real improvement and that are fooling them by pretending that it’s normal and that it has always been like that.
If you really want to improve and are neither a millionaire nor want to wait 20 years to learn the entire system, it’s time for you to wake up!
I want to invite you to put away possible prejudices for a moment and to allow the thought of an efficient and at the same time reliable and alternative way for you, which can be the key to personal
improvement and future Wing Tsun success.
DRAGOS WING TSUN INTERNATIONAL
THE CHALLENGE TO LEARN WING TSUN
The problem with this is that the many open parameters are more complex and difficult to learn, even if the basic principles such as e.g. resilience or use of force are easy to understand.
Frankly, it took almost my whole life to clear this chaos. The knowledge of armed programs was the key to the solution. For the most part, laws of nature and the difference between manageable and unmanageable, only become apparent under extreme conditions and if you take easy geometry as a basis. And that’s why the long pole is the main teacher in Wing Tsun.
The „DRAGOS WING TSUN“, which I developed, contains a transfer of this knowledge to the unarmed part of the Wing Tsun System. The results even impress the best of the industry.
I’m not telling you something new when I tell you that human weaknesses have a big influence beside the technical challenges on the learning process.
First of all, the competitiveness and the striving for power of many teachers, which led to the secret cult, harm the development of each student and the reputation of this art.
DRAGOS WING TSUN MASTERS ACADEMY -
- The elite forge for masters and technicians
A lot of Wing Tsun teachers are frustrated, because they have the feeling they are marching in place or they are not able to exercise this art or they are being thwarted by their teachers.
Some have even trained WT/WC for 15 or 20 years and still aren’t masters. There is something wrong here!
At this point the WT-Masters-Academy comes into play!
It’s more than just a mere alternative to big organizations, because it contains what most Wing Tsun enthusiasts can only dream about:
- The option on real development with real exercisable Wing Tsun.
- Secret-free procurement (teaching) of the system on a high level.
- Fair and affordable terms without any hidden costs or contract obligations.
- First hand learning with an experienced master of his profession.
- The complete system’s exploitation within a short period of time.
In the Masters-Academy we handle the valuable lifetime of our participants with respect and care. This means that we want to show every participant the fastest and most efficient way to reach his goals. Here an important basic principle is that it is reasonable to get to know the whole system, instead of getting lost in details for decades without having an overview.
Only the one who knows where the journey leads to, is learning in real terms and can draw information out of all areas, which he did get to know already. This is logical, because all areas influence each another and work together as one.
We will indicate each participant’s mistakes to increase his improvement – this is what I understand as active transfer of knowledge. The traditional, rather passive way of teaching, which is based on secrets can’t do that.
The WT-MASTERS ACADEMY GM BOOTCAMP -
Master Class Intensive Course
With the WT-MASTERS ACADEMY GM BOOTCAMP we are going a more effective way:
Here, advanced student grades and technicians have the chance to work through the complete WT System within 7-10 days, to understand its principles, to document it and to learn it first-hand from a master.
FOR WHO IS THE BOOTCAMP SUITABLE?
■ people who have a problem with distance or time (e.g. living abroad)
■ people who are looking for the most efficient way of transferring knowledge simultaneously with the least amount of expense
■ people with previous knowledge who want to learn the complete system or parts of it in a short period of time.
■ participants who recognize that the way to mastership can only be reached with one’s own initiative, and who welcome the possibility to reinforce all contents of the workshop at home with the help of live recordings and DVD-documentations (a DVD-documentation will be given to all participants!)
WHY IS THE PROCURANCE IN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD TIME POSSIBLE?
There is a big difference between the pure procurement, the understanding and realization of coherences and the perfect mastery of a martial art. The latter takes years, the former is possible within a short period of time and is the condition for effective learning.
The WT-MASTERS-ACADEMY’S concept is concentrating on the procurement of the main success factors which lead to quick results:
SUCCESS FACTOR No. 1: Overview before fine-tuning
Behind this is the awareness that Wing Tsun can be learned faster and more effectively, if you get an overview of all areas, understand and document it. After that, it is time for the fine-tuning, when you go home to practice and reinforce what you learned.
SUCCESS FACTOR No. 2: Learning first-hand from a master
The fact that only a master can help you become a master and that only a master can appreciate the substance of the system with his experience and teach it, with a couple of practical examples, is easily understood.
SUCCESS FACTOR No. 3: Active instead of passive procurement
At every workshop we are choosing ACTIVE teaching. This means that every participant is going to be informed actively about their mistakes and about how they can improve.
SUCCESS FACTOR No. 4: Video Recording and DVD-Documentation
Recordings and documentation of the complete taught seminar content are unusual in WT. But, as a matter of fact, they help you to be more independent from the teacher, because you can watch all impressions and contents at home again and again.
Together these factors make the big difference and bring you to a never known level. Within a few years after the workshop – study and discipline assumed – you can be one of the industry’s best!
WORKSHOP-PROCEDURE
During the 2-day Bootcamp introductional workshop, you’ll get to know parts of all areas of the system, from the Siu Nim Tao to the Bot Cham Dao-Knive-techniques.
At this point, all practitioners and technicians can compare and realize where in the Wing Tsun-System they are. Because of this, every participant can decide for themselves, if they want to complete their skills by learning the missing parts or if they want to learn the whole system from the beginning. The visit to the free introduction workshop is conditional for the bootcamp participation.
PROCEDURE IN 2 STEPS:
- the complete unarmed Wing Tsun-System within 5 days
- the weapons of the system (Double Knives and Longpole) within the last 3 days.
Main goal is understanding the essential coherences, as well as the capturing and documentation of the contents. Every participant is going to receive DVD`s with the contents of the workshop. This allows him to reinforce what he has learned step by step later at home.
The graph below shows the procedure in detail:
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE WORKSHOP?
BACKGROUND INFORMATIONS
The WT-MASTERS-ACADEMY
Sifu Martin Dragos founded the “WT-ACADEMY” in 2004. With his conception of organization-free learning without any restrictions or secret cults and a training plan based on fairness and transparency, he guided the liberalization movement whose dimension was unknown at that time. This influenced the whole sector. Ever since, Wing Tsun enthusiasts from around world have been using the opportunity to learn the entire Wing Tsun System within a very short period of time or to acquire the missing parts of the system.
Thus a market monopoly, which was more than 30 years old, was brought down. Although it was smiled at in the beginning, WT-MASTERS-ACADEMY is one of the best addresses for solid and extensive Wing Tsun education and is the outrider of open philosophy.
SIFU MARTIN DRAGOS
For his first 20 years of practicing the Wing Tsun art, Sifu Martin Dragos dealt with Leung Ting-
Wing Tsun and was also the EWTO National Instructor in Slovenia. Sergio Iadarola, his last teacher, appointed him to be a Master. His technical papers and his DVD-learning publications, which made him well known, became standard works and a source of inspiration for the whole sector.
WING TSUN – A DYING SYSTEM?
Through his intensive research and overall examination of the different directions of the Wing Tsun System, Sifu Martin Dragos learned early about the disadvantages of the Wing Tsun System.
In his opinion, the system’s depletion with each generation of students and teachers is the effect of lost information, a misunderstood conservation of tradition and the foundation of a secret cult. The thought of commerce and the fight for market shares, which have affected the trade picture until now, make it even more difficult, so the exchange of experiences has almost stopped. The “master’s” greed and vanity have almost led to the “extinction” of the system - it has almost fallen into oblivion.
PHILOSOPHY OF THE OPEN MIND
The WT-Masters-Academy-Philosophy’s core is easily summarized in a few words: exchange, transparency, constant learning and consistent self-improvement. A teacher who is not brave enough to replace outdated knowledge with better knowledge, to share his experiences with others and to take responsibility for the one’s who trust him, is acting short-sighted, selfish and is bilking himself and others of their progress. In other words: Tradition does not mean to adore the ashes but to keep the fire alive!
DRAGOS WING TSUN
DRAGOS WING TSUN® (DWT) is an advancement of the martial art “Wing Tsun” (Leung Ting-System) based on the concepts of Sifu Martin Dragos. Out of his experiences, Sifu Martin Dragos developed his own system in the last seven years, which continues the strengths, compensates the weaknesses and integrates forgotten knowledge.
Through the transfer of the “stride work” (footwork) and the WT-weapons’ conception to the unarmed Wing Tsun System, it was possible to replace the lost knowledge with a consistent and coherent taxonomy, which is a central theme for the whole system. This step included didactic and methodical fighting strategies, the use of physical laws, as well as the regard for kinetic-motor necessities in the handling of force and the accomplishment in extreme conditions. The result is an extraordinary effective WT, which is even impressing the trade’s best. DWT is considered the secret trend-setter for functional WT and has been copied and imitated thousands of times – especially by descendants and representatives of the LT-Line.
But somebody who is only learning from publications or second hand is not having any access to the DWT-systems’s nuances and subtleties. For that, it’s necessary to have a qualified teacher.
ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DRAGOS WING TSUN-SYSTEM
It’s impossible to describe a complex martial art with mere words, which is the reason for the following mention: only the living impression is representative. Because of that, we recommend the visit to one of our weekend-workshops, where we can go into all theoretical and hands-on aspects of WT. Here are the most important characteristics of DRAGOS WING TSUN® in order to give you some first clues:
• There is a 3-level-model for the simultaneous protection of torso and legs. So the technical-reactive differentiation of the relations “High/Low” is inapplicable. Compared to the so called “6-field-model”, it saves 50% of the previous response time, because there is only a decision about Left/Right rather than Inside/Outside necessary.
• Use of the principle of the inside- and outside control for all the fight’s distances and phases.
• There is no “general solution”, because a flexible system gets its energy from adjustments rather than surrender to possibilities and needs of a fighting situation. Instead, there is a distinction between offensive-, defensive- and emergency solution concepts. The master plan of these three modes with their particular body action for structural support of the current function is described in the so called “DWT-fight taxonomy”. All the modes are connected directly in a logical combination.
• The realization of WT has a mechanical character. The functions base on elastic, pressure and tensile strength movement elements. In this regard it’s well-defined, which situations and circumstances require or develop the respective element characteristics. Knowing exactly what to do in every moment of the fight has highest priority.
• There is a strategic 4-Step-Model in combat action according to the following basic scheme:
1. Weakening/prevention of opposing first strike or anticipation access
2. Isolation or captivation
3. Breakage of the “center line”
4. Dynamic/”pending control” with final strike
• No second chance for the opponent: a dynamic connection is created after the first contact with use of bridge conceptions. As a result of this, the opponent is not able to use his weapons anymore and he is permanently being controlled in the course of the fight.
• Benefit of own strengths / attention to handiness.
• No mere trust to speed or structural advantages, for example like simultaneity. Instead, combining implied protection strategy from following attacks into your own actions.
• Energetic reflection of opposing actions to neutralize and bait the opponent’s offensive plans.
• Benefit of “Reborn-Power-Principle” for increase and “decrease in speed”.
• Accomodating is usually a result of stride work, which stands out due to the fact that no more decisions need to be made. Avoiding of mixing up “softness” and “weakness”.
• Procurement of the three basic kicks and the resulting eight possibilities to kick from the beginning on.
• Differentiation between the three kinds of collision situations with the respective automatic reactions.
• Development of the structural core capability, which makes Wing Tsun a system and makes automatism possible. And with that, the capability to reduce all the decisions to just one single thought.
• Integration of the steps from the armed system to the unarmed system.
