What is Wing Chun
Kung Fu?
There
are many any styles of martial arts all of them at the core are fighting
arts.
Some styles such as Tae Kwon Do and Wushu have evolved into
performance or sport oriented arts. Others
such as Tai Chi are used to promote health. Even with Chinese Kung Fu,
there is an enormous variety of style and interpretation of principles
and purpose.
Wing Chun is a system developed out of the Shaolin Monastery
specifically designed to be able to defeat bigger and stronger
opponents and to compress the learning cycle from 20 plus years to
around 5 to 7 years.. The
popular story as told by Grand Master Yip Man is that a Shaolin nun
fleeing the
attack of the monastery by the emperor fled to southern China
and passed on her knowledge to a girl named Wing Chun. Wing Chun passed
on her knowledge to her husband and on down the line.
The famous movie star and martial artist Bruce Lee
learned Wing
Chun kung fu from Yip Man, a famous kung fu teacher who is also my kung
fu
great grandfather (my teacher’s, teacher’s, teacher). In other words, I
am third
generation to Yip Man and Bruce Lee would be like a great uncle.
What are the benefits
of learning Wing Chun?
I
do not know about you
but I cannot get motivated to lift weights in the gym. I get bored and
when you rain your muscles to lift weights, they are good for lifting weights
but may
not be nimble or explosive enough when you need them. By training in
Wing Chun,
you will see several benefits, both physical and mental including:
- Efficient and practical self defence skills
- Speed and explosive power
- Improve body coordination, balance, flexibility and confidence
- Great for mixed martial artists to improve close range fiighting skills
- Understanding of balance and harmony and being better able to handle daily stresses
