Apart from this reporter calling wing chun a "rare form of kung fu" (these folks must be on some weird dope - kung fu, yes; rare, no), this is a fantastic article - with an unusual "angle".
And I can attest to the fact that the idea of using martial arts in this fashion works - it is precisely (part of) the thing I do when I adapt ju jitsu to psychiatric care.
Story:
Newport Beach attorney Dan Anderson has become a wing chun expert. Dan is the father of a special-needs child. Anderson says it can be a lifesaver for caregivers of those with special needs.
"Many developmentally disabled people are prone to physical outbursts, and caregivers are unintentionally injured," he says. "Wing chun is an excellent way for those caregivers to redirect blows from those unexpected or sporadic physical movements without causing pain or injury."
