SOCIETY
The VB-Ving Tsun Martial Art Society consists of the community of teachers and trainers who are taught by Volker Boekhoff, in the spirit of Wong Shun Leung. Boekhoff had already trained the first trainers for his school in the early 1990s in order to be able to guarantee good support for his numerous students. He assumed that the skill of teaching could be learned, just like anything else. Extra training for trainers was important, as this meant they could also represent or help each other. The way of teaching was standardized and trainers were trained to give qualified instruction at an international level. Not every good technician/fighter is therefore a good trainer or teacher. In the Boekhoff-Ving Tsun Martial Art Society, after the pure technical training, there is a so-called SENIOR STUDENT period in which the future trainer learns to teach.
This period includes at least 12 months of training, which is perceived as an exam. The students learn to see mistakes, to find them analytically... but also to distinguish between the essential and the inessential. After the training, the trainers are able to recognize and correct even the smallest mistakes in large groups within seconds. Today, after more than 40 years of experience, this knowledge has been multiplied and enables students to be trained faster and better. Boekhoff trains and teaches the subconscious of people. "Everything else takes too long," he explains briefly. "The essential and most important thing about Ving Tsun is explained in the first few hours of training and not in the last 5 minutes after several years..."
