I have a interest in learning Wing Chun or Akido, and want to know the benefits of going into one or the other. Not only that, does anyone know a good place to learn either of the two near Upland, California, or the LA County Area?|||The 2 styles are very different. First, Wing Chun is more of a striking art while Aikido is a throwing art. If you have no prior martial arts experience, I would think that Aikido would be the more difficult of the 2 because it will take some time to become good at throwing. Striking is a little easier only because the movements will not be as foreign to your body.
As far as benefits, I%26#039;ll try to be very general. If you are the non-aggressor and prefer to be the counter-attacker, aikido is a good choice. Not that there are no attacks in Aikido, but the whole premise is to re-direct your opponent%26#039;s energy.
In Wing Chun, there will be a combination of both offensive and defensive movements. Lots of striking and body conditioning as well.
As someone who has taken other striking arts before, I would take Aikido because the throwing is a good supplement to striking.
I%26#039;m not in the LA area so I can%26#039;t help with that part. But no matter what school you go to, definitely try it out for a week before you sign up.
Good luck.|||I don%26#039;t know about Wing Chun in your are, but there is Aikido nearby. These folks are good. It is a soft style of Aikido.

it feels like an occult.There%26#039;s no talking on the Mat, so we%26#039;re rarely verbally instructed by are partners,When Sensie speaks, there%26#039;s no engagement in conversation, so we%26#039;re expected to accept what we hear on face value, without the ability to question what we%26#039;re hearing.. I really believe they
think they%26#039;re Japanese in training sometimes, yet I don%26#039;t mind
the embrace of another culture, however it%26#039;s America%26#039;s
philosophy to be free, but this concept doesn%26#039;t exist in a
world that demands discipline.. Just some thoughts.
Take care M.Dmon
