Issue 91 of Wing Chun Illustrated features Sifu Darren Elvey. For Sifu Elvey, meaningful Wing Chun progress comes from training with clear purpose and doing the basics brilliantly. He explores the relationship between structure, relaxation and intent, explaining why these qualities must be developed through experience rather than theory alone. Darren also addresses common misunderstandings surrounding Chi Sau, pressure and punching power, while offering a practical perspective on how Wing Chun can remain relevant. His message is straightforward: train honestly, test your skills and keep returning to the fundamentals.
