Balance

Balance is importand  - well balanced body awake more quickly from  attacks . Wing Chun trains the awareness of one's own body movement derived from muscular, tendon, and articular sources. Performing Wing Chun's forms such as Chum Kiu or the Wooden Dummy form greatly improve the princip of that. Wing Chun developed a high, narrow stance with the elbows kept close to the body. Within the stance, arms are positioned across the vitals of the centerline. Shifting or turning within a stance is carried out variantly on the heels, balls, or middle (K1 or Kidney 1 point) of the foot depending on lineage. All attacks and counter-attacks are initiated from this solid, stable base. Wing Chun infrequently changes the structure for more powerful attacks because Its  creates defensive openings which may be exploited.

Structure

Structure is  important, not only for reasons of defense, but also for attack. When the practitioner is effectively steps, or aligned so as to be thiten against the ground, the force of the hit is  be far more devastating. Another advantage is a "settling" one's opponent to attach them more effectively against the ground aids in delivering as much force  to them.
