FOREWORD
W hen I was asked to write the foreword for (Sifu) Jon Rister’s second book on wing chun, I felt honored and a bit confused. The confusion came about because I had to ask myself, Why me?
Sifu Jon has many more knowledgeable, gifted, skilled, and talented students than myself. However, I have been a student of his for over twenty years now. My primary martial arts are in the Filipino martial arts (FMA). It has only been in the past two years that I have become a serious wing chun student after Sifu Jon telling me for years that wing chun will help your kali. He was right.
I am an old school martial artist. I enjoy the traditional and historical study of martial arts. However what I learn must be practical, functional, and efficient. I work in the private security industry as a uniformed armed security officer at a federal facility. I also work doing private investigations, and personal protection. My martial arts training needs to reflect my work reality. Accomplishing my mission and going home safe is the name of the game.
Sifu Jon has trained in wing chun for decades. He has been a martial arts instructor since the late 1980s. His experience, knowledge, research, and ability to relate this to his students are a true gift. His understanding of wing chun is years ahead of most wing chun instructors, even those with Master
and Grandmaster
titles. In some regards, I do not even think they are studying the same martial art.
Strike, Control, Break is the result. The information contained in this book will improve your wing chun. It is based on Sifu Jon’s unique ability to question and problem solve. I remember Sifu Jon telling me in one of my private lessons, Wing chun is problem solving.
When I pushed for more information, he simply told me the information is in the forms. Strike, Control, Break (SCB) will give the wing chun practitioner a simple, yet effective tool to remember under stress to prevail in any conflict.
In this book, I hope it becomes clear that, contrary to what most students and instructors of wing chun believe, wing chun is actually a weapons-based
art. Many think of wing chun as an empty hand art with three empty hand forms, a wooden dummy form, drills, chi sao, and those other two weapons forms that are not really relevant anymore. The pole form and the double sword form were added as an afterthought, and besides NOBODY fights with a pole, or double swords anyway, so why bother. WRONG, WRONG and WRONG! The essence, the spirit of wing chun is hidden within the weapons. Without the knowledge of the weapons, you have no wing chun. You just have to trust me. Sifu Jon will change your wing chun and make you better. I promise.

PREFACE
T he art of wing chun often brings to mind popular videos or films of various practitioners displaying a flurry of dynamic techniques. Unfortunately, this is often a cause of disillusionment when the learned techniques in a controlled setting fail in actual application. Because of this, the art of wing chun is often ridiculed and deemed unrealistic in the modern era. This publication is our attempt
