Wing chun is art

When I think of something that would gives me satisfaction I think of food, human interaction, movie, writing, singing, running, wingchun, mid night hiking and driving around town and other myriads if activities. But some comes and goes quick and easy, easy come easy go right? 

Well, among those things that satisfy us (or me, to be precise), there is something in common in some of those activities. Something ubiquitous, something grounded in the human nature, (aside from food of course, man are made of food and lust) and something that transcends the basic needs of human existence.

ART. 

Art doesn't have form, association, loyalty, purpose or desire. And I say this is fortunate. Fortunately art is without a form for we can creat them in myriad ways. Fortunately art is without association for we dot have to pay membership to own them, same with loyalty. Fortunately art is without purpose for it doesn't create conflicts between people of different purposes. Fortunately art is without desire so we can. 

Wingchun, like many activities that give us satisfaction is an art, without form, without association or loyalty, no purpose not desire. It simply is, and our job is to enjoy the aspect of art in wingchun.
