Hong Kong Airlines Cabin Crew Learning Kung Fu - Wing Chun

Hong Kong Airlines has begun training its cabin crew in the ancient Chinese martial art of wing chun - 咏春. Purpose is to give passengers a better service.

Air crew training Wing Chun in Hong Kong. Hong Kong airline said that all staff will receive training in Wing Chun, this martial arts for close fighting, flight attendants have to learn. Purpose is to give passengers a better service.

"Normally, female cabin crew can't handle a fat guy, especially if he's drunk," Eva Chan, a spokeswoman for the airline, explained with admirable candour, "but because of the training, she can handle it quite easily." So which Bruce Lee-esque tactics might we see Hong Kong's cabin crew employing? Mark Phillips, director of the London Wing Chun Academy, guides us through some basic moves.

1 A flight attendant could use the chi sau ("sticky hands") technique to prevent a passenger from hitting him. "The idea," Phillips explains, "is to block and control a person's arms by linking your arms with theirs."

2 Next, split the assailant's arms. Here, the flight attendant raises his left arm, and makes contact with his opponent's chest, while holding back the arm with his right hand.

3 The flight attendant now traps the assailant's arms, leaving his right arm free to land a restraining punch. Though, as Phillips points out, "It wouldn't be a very good idea for a cabin crew member to hit a passenger."
